Anders account is still active, he wasn't deactivated. Hopefully he'll pop back in with some great climbing content on occasion. Take care Anders, thanks for the other 24116 posts you left as a legacy. Speaking for myself, I appreciated your company and thank you for the many positive contributions you made.
Mighty Hiker basically confirmed that he was one of many people who received an email from "t*r" imploring them to sabotage the forum ("because they can't ban us all"). I'd bet a large sum of money DMT received one as well. In case anyone missed it, Mighty Hiker posted a huge string of photos (banner ads) shortly before the thread disappeared. One other user (who shall remain nameless to prevent further embarrassment) also posted the same images as "t*r" had earlier (evidently having received the links from "t*r"), but it was a rather feeble attempt as she didn't copy/paste dozens of lines as "t*r" had. Oops! "Epic fail" as they say...
It's a histrionic masterpiece!!!!!
lol
Indeed, this whole drama-queen saga with the hacking conspiracy twist is one of the all-time best.
So what was all that fuss about with the Gondola anyway? All I recall is I'm still owed 3 Freinds of the Chief buttons according to my invoice book.
Todd, I have no idea whats going on up at Strathcona park with those horses. I have yet to see anything wrong in the Gondola process other than some unsupported wild guesses out of left field. There is a big red flag in regard to the nonsensical Heliski draft recommendation but no hard evidence of malfeasance... just a huge amount of completely unexplained circumstantial evidence.
If there is impropriety in the processes we will need a whistle blower from within BC Parks to root it out. What ever happened to Anders petitioning with the Ombudsman to get to the bottom of it all? I recall a number of claims of his of pending revelations of impropriety but it all seems to have amounted to nothing and I can hardly even recall the details of his assertions at this point - and now there is no record.
The most important thing right now is to boot out the current BC Liberals as their hard core free enterprize / eviscerate government resource regulation mandate stinks like hell. Considering their record of avoiding scrutiny of their various highly suspect business deals and concerted de-regulation it is logical to assume they manipulate the BC Parks process if they chose. Maybe with a change of government we'll get some explanations from BC Parks, who is populated mostly by good people but seriously underfunded, demoralized and under threat of retribution.
I thought the Gondola thread was a good sounding board for these sort of local land management issues so too bad its gone. I could start another I suppose but I doubt it would have the same longevity without the lively debate and focused interest that the gondola thread generated.
Hey man I have no beef with you, we go way back in cyber-land. I just thought it odd that she would implore a bunch of people to sabotage the forum and knott you, but if you say she didn't I'll leave it at that.
I've made no secret of my distain for the (now 30-something) adult-child over the years, based on her histrionics and antagonistic trolling on this forum, and am frankly perplexed as to why she always got a pass from so many of you, seemingly blissfully ignorant of her antisocial behavior. I mean, why knott stick up for Rajmit?
That said, I don't hold grudges generally, and I actually posted something very nice about her recently.
She put up some big jpegs and wanted to bomb the thread not the site.
All the cry babies then cried to mama (Chris Mac), because they're little cry babies over a stupid worthless thread that can be found in a billion places on the internet (boobs).
Thus certain people here are stupid babies in adult packages.
I'm feeling all butthurt because things aren't going my way so I hate all of you and I hate supertopo and I hate what this thread has become. I'm going to whine in public for a while then quit posting and then nuke this thread, and then start deleting my old posts. Especially ones that started threads people liked and worked hard to contribute to.
But don't worry, I'll then send a long rambling letter about it to Dingus and he can post it for me, because even though supertopo isn't worth my consideration and my time is too important to waste by posting here, I still need to post here, to make sure you all know that I don't need to post here anymore.
Let us know!
