Unfortunately, I agree wholeheartedly with you Tarbuster. Perhaps we should all join together in a spirited rendition of 'Now is the hour'?

Yeah, Nita is a good egg.
Say, Nita: remember way back when you used to mail out vintage postcards to us? You are the bomb.
I don't even remember why exactly: was it for people who guessed correctly on those "name this route" threads?
I got 2 two of them from you!
................................
Ha ha.
Just watch how many of us cling to the ship as it goes down.
We'll keep chatting it up here with or without our crusty old photos, to the bitter end no doubt, quite a few of us.
And there are plenty of folks who will glom on coming into it fresh, who have no idea what was lost.
If the mods want to keep this Caddy Shack going, they can count on both those feeders.
Cracks me up!

I can be happy with text only, as long as the company is good. Which it is.

Well, if the ship is going down, before we get our feet wet, let me say you've always been a good read, Tarbuster.

This is all rather sad and seems like using a large hammer to crack a small nut. While it's Chris's site to administer as he sees fit, it seems odd to lose so much of what makes (for me) the site and forum what it is, a fabulous resource of information and history.
I've saved all my TRs, (There weren't that many) if he feels the need to eradicate my account for some heinous copyright sin then so be it. It has been a lot of fun.
Best to all!

I can understand not wanting to physically store/host pictures that 'might' be some legal liability. The owners don't want the hassle of being sued, whether there is merit in the suits or not doesn't matter. It'd still burn time and money fighting it.
For that matter I store all my photos both backed up on my own physical media and host them on sites where I pay for the storage and bandwidth. If you don't own something or pay for something, never expect anything.
But this site not allowing the ability to hot-link photos from my said personal storage I don't understand. Is there some legal precedent or liability there that I can't find?

For what its worth.....and I'm a poster with about 45 full photo Trip Reports.....and I was afraid I'd be nuked because I had plenty of images in my Supertopo "possession" that weren't mine. I took the two hours or so to go through 3670 photos and delete the 40 or 50 that weren't mine. And now I'm pretty much squeaky clean and not at risk of being hammered. I used the "supertopo uploader" on all my TR's and that seems to be the only way to stay kosher with the whole system.
Really bummed for those that got smashed in this whole thing. Seriously tragic. But I'd love to encourage folks not to run. To stay and contribute moving forward. Its a good place for what it is and when this all settles I'd love to have the good guys stick around.

"The Supertopo site won't collapse, and frankly is full of a bunch of has-beens living in a romantic California based past that was never reality. Who really cares about your photos over the long run?"

I’ll hang around Nita and Roy, been on this a LONG time and one thing I’ve learned in my “has been” old age in “romantic California based reality that never was” is change can be hard, but if you wait it out...it may be better in the long term! Browder...it was a reality, we lived it braj. I’ve done it right because so far I see, nothing of mine has been touched on this site. Nita, maybe I’ll see you at Facelift...”under a full moon by the water tank!”
Keep yer chonies on kids, ride it out and if you choose to leave, completely your right and choice.
Peace

hey there, say, nita...
oh yes, this part was very sad... i was surprised how fast things
disappeared... (though, i understand the concerns, and was glad to learn more, as to why)...
too much surprise, too fast:
I'm in the camp that this whole process was heavy handed and not enough warning/ time given to comply with new regulations. Tarbuster and a couple of others have stated the obvious.
and, tarbuster... (AS TO your 'help me out' post, on the
other 'linking images' thread:
i read your post... very well done, post, too...
(say, just say that RJ, got a chance to answer it too...
thank you for all your
years of sharing... and to so many others, due to your time,
and efforts, we LEARNED so much...
i sure hope folks stay... i sure hope we get the
high quality write-ups, on all those trips, and history...
nita! your right-on-the-mark, your lists and what helped the most--was getting to KNOW who-was-who, around here, for folks that wanted to climb
with others, or, MEET up with them...
i was able to meet a WHOLE table full, for lunch, once...
i will never forget-- it was wonderful...
and, f10 and his gal, came out to visit, on their state-wide trip!
things that were all due, to supertopo, and the willingness of
folks to share their lives...
yes, i sure hope folks, stay and 'replant' seeds...

Yeah Lizzy, same thing if I put something on, but it does post. Yeah, I’ve known Mark for decades, but would be good to have you out for one of the gatherings.

You know someone, somewhere messed up when the site loses a poster like DMT.
A forum's worth is nothing without its community. And in any community, there are usually a handful of "super-users" who really make it what it is. People like DMT.
