Other forums & moderation

[powder]

I have checked out a few forums over the years and onlyo ne really had a "community." It was totally unmoderated and it worked. It was hosted by a magazine and was advertized in that mag. People on the other forum were generally respectfull of others and if they were assholes they were ignored and eventually cleaned up thier act or went away. They donated items of value (hundreds of dollars) to other members when the shit hit the fan. One guy was traveling when his truck's tranny blew and his dog got sick. He posted his woes and before long cash was flowing to bail him out of a situation. He had never met most of the people who donated cash other that over the internet.

Other forums I have visited almost have this level of family feeling but not quite. The ones that seem to come closest are the ones whos participants are unmoderated.

If I or anyone on this forum were in Anytown USA became stranded how many people from this forum would be willing to bail a stranger out? I have not noticed a lot of "family" on this board &I wonder what brings people here and why they stay other than the abundant sex talk/exibition.

Sorry to be a little longwinded but, what holds this "community" together besides sex and porn?

[MSD]

If I were in a position to help, I would. I believe that people are hosting guests on vacation, we have meetings, and we've even had couples meet on the board.

[Chingal0]

Yea, this forum is unlike lots others in the fact that i think (sometimes) that people are adults, or at least act like it, and respect eachother. Personally, if someone was having problems, monitarily i wouldnt help cause i need help myself, but id sing a showtune or send naked pictures of my self to cheer em up.

[vermin]

Only ever saw one other forum and it was a flame-fest. Basically a competition to see who could use the most foul words in one sentence fragment. Personally, I like having the moderators around.

I would be suspicious of any sob story accompanied by a money request. Even if the money wasn't asked for directly, con men know how to hint around and let you think you came up with this wonderfully altruistic idea.

To answer your last question, nothing. It's the sex and porn.

[YourNeverThere]

I respect the mods here, but I would love to have none, just becuase I love anarchy and would like everything to be more anarchratic,

[Lebell]

My being a mod aside,

If this board were unmoderated, I would be history.

The BS that I've seen in unmodded boards isn't worth it, IMO.

[Halx]

it's moderated because I'm a power hungry son of a bitch and I wouldn't have it any other way


......


now that we have that of the way... the board is held together by people who just like coming here and conversing. Do we need any other reason?

Exactly. There is no set topic of this forum, and that's what holds it together. That's its community. This is not a car forum, this is not a computer forum, this is not a sports forum. It's a LIFE forum. Life involves sex, so we have tilted sexuality. It involves sports, so we have Tilted Sports. And so on.

As for your experience with an unmoderated forum, it can be chalked up to one of three things. 1) You were EXTREMELY lucky and found the miracle forum where everyone acts like an adult and people who aren't wanted get the clue, despite the odds of this happening being worse than your chances of eing hit by a meteor. 2) This forum you were on had a small member base, thus greatly reducing the odds of any given person being a jackass. (Or it was the earlier days of the internet) 3) The forum was not actually unmoderated but rather the people who moderated it did not make their presence known at all and were totally opaque about it.

If I had to put money down, it'd be on the last option.

My point? I've dabbled in many forum. I only care about 2. And I only feel the need to visit one with any kind of regularity. That's TFP. Why? Well, first off, almost every forum I have ever seen, no matter what the topic, is filled with the inevitable number of people taking advantage of internet anonymity to be total jerks without significant repercussions. Of the 2 forums I care about, one is more civil than your average forum, but is not without people who are jerks. This forum is an extremely focused forum and that is part of why it is successful in the way it is because it's not a forum designed for people to need to post regularly unless their post is actually of use. The other forum is TFP, and I think you know how this one's run And, not coincidentally I don't think, it is the smoothest running forum I have ever seen.

[ARTelevision]

I question the accuracy and veracity of the thread starter's report.
I am quite certain important pieces of the story are missing.
My sense is, if all the relevant facts were known, other significant realities would emerge.
I don't simply believe every word I read.

[powder]

Art I can't think of anything I have left out. It is a truely amazing forum. In the first month I was there I was heckled a little but it was all in good humor. Occasionally some ass shows up and shortly disappears if he does not fir in. These people have met for parties, events, raised money for charities, raised money for a guy who's house burned. If I am ever travelling in an area where there is a member I would be welcome to stop by for a beer or something. Three weeks ago a guy posted that he lost a piece of gear while moving. this week another guy posted that he bought new gear and had decided to give away his existing gear to a worthy individual. Of the 3500 member of the forum only 2 people really posted any serios attempt to be deemed worthy. The guy that ended up gettin the gear gave his existing gear to the guy who had lost his while moving. I mean, the place is unbelievable. There is a "free gear thread" where people give away gear for the price of shipping & a sixpack of beer.

CS
After much deliberation and soul searching, I've decided to offer these babies up to the most deserving of Maggots. I just got my Stockli's (CUBUCK, you rule) and well, these skis just won't be used anymore so I wanted to find them a deserving home. And figger'ed why not just hook up some destitute Maggot out with some fatties.

The skis are 195, Igneous FaGs. Dimensions: don't remember, in the 115-90-105 range. Flex: stiff. Binders along for the ride: Solly S 900 mounted for 28.5 boots. These aren't for the timid, noodle legged, PR love'n pansies out there.

Also, they're not even close to mint. They have many core shots that have been loveingly JB welded. But they're Iggies, badass and free.

You tell me why you're so hard up you MUST have these and how the hell you think you're man(or woman) enough to handle 'em. Spin me a good yarn and they're yours, you just pay shipping.

Oh, and I'll decide who gets em when I feel like it so, well, be patient. I just want to hook someone up who really needs 'em and hear some good stories along the way.

CaddyDaddy77
I will be the best Captain America Lovin' rider of those bad boys were they to come my way.

I would take them many new and exciting places, like the San Juans BC, Silverton Mountain, Wolf Creek too, they might pass through other locales such as Taos, Alta, Park City, and maybe with money permitting, the summit.

Oh, and I'm big enough to work a pair of 195's (6'3", 225)

This is trully a piss-poor attempt, I really hope that another maggot who is deserving, steps up and writes something a bit more eloquent.

And this is a very cool thing to do!


CUBUCK
CS,
This is really cool of you to do and good luck with the SS Pros. This should turn out to be a really cool thread.
I thought this thread was a joke...but seriously,this is one of the abslolute coolest things ive witnessed on this board.
SO many people (myself included) would pay quite a bit for these boards. Im honestly not really trying to get you to give them to me, not even sure i could handle these bad mo-fo's.

homerjay
^^^ big up to CS.

one of the cooler things I've seen here.

They would be a great way to lock my heel down and scare people on the vail back bowls, but someone more in need should step it up.


steepconcrete
I have a pair of 200's.
A sweet ride.

[Joke]I need them so I don't rock up my FaGS on low snow days[/joke]

someone step it up.

CS
No joke. Just my way of contributing to the collective.

rightcoastfreeskier
well...if it helps you at all...I was about to order this exact ski right before they stopped taking orders the first time after saving up forever for them.

mayor
you da mang, CS. I don't need 'em, but I'm sure somebody can prove they are worthy. Way to spread the stoke.

STD
Right on, CS.

I know a certain individual who runs a volunteer patrol that may not even have a first aid room to work out of this season, teaches & certifies first aid every year, teaches avy classes, and even started a new non profit group of backcountry skiers/riders to help preserve the legacy of winter recreation on a certain pass here in CO...and doesnt get paid a dime for doing any of it.

This individual bought his first pair of 190cm Iggy MFC from the Powmag board when it first started, and is looking for some beefier, fatter boards.

This individual couldn't go in on the Stockli or Volkl Powmag buys because of lack of funds due to lower commissions made at work because of all the time committed to volunteering their efforts for the hardcore skiers and riders in their area.

Besides that, can't think of much else this individual has done in life.

Jiffy

After reading STD's account I don't need them or deserve them.

beaver
CS - I know a maggot who lost one of his Volkl G4s out of the back of his truck a couple weeks ago while moving. They were his only skis and were mounted with his touring binders. He has just finished being a student for the last year and is prolly fairly fund shy at the moment. I'm sure he could put them to good use. If he is in the running contact JR at *****************dot com.


Pinnoir
I'd love em, but can't think of anyone more deserving or who'd do them more justice than STD.

Keoni
I know of a certain individual (sniff sniff) who (snif) through no fault of his own (snif) has been left destitute with 8 hungry mouths to feed. Cast aside like yesterdays garbage. Left to his own devices, to fend for himself, doing unspeakable... OK, **** it, I’m OLD, POOR and LONELY...


ForgotToTurn
I probably can't compete with STD, nor am I as deserving. The fact that I'm midway through my collegiate studies leaves me with no money and no choice but to crack at the opportunity. I bump chairs and "pretend" to be an instructor during snow season, but my cheap #ss mountain thinks it's okay to pay us only 6.25/hour. Aside from books and food, I contribute my money to hostels over breaks......the "Palace de Hilton" among mangs like myself. But hey, I can make money later. 195's you say? Pffffttt.....my girlfriend frequents drool on something so long and stiff.

I will chalk a point against me though....most of our "mountains" are only 1000' vert....just enough to flex the Iggy's a fraction of a centimeter. Aside from that, I know more places that offer random 30 foot huckable rocks than most others in my surroundings. We make the most of that 1000' feet, whether it's walking, taking the lift, or bummin a ride halfway up, the day always pans out to be "epic" in the end.

This thread is defiantely the coolest I've seen so far.

chowda
GREAT idea CS not to many people out there selfless enough to give these up for free.

You know if you have a hard time choosing, you could pass them along all season. Start with the first person to post a reply then they get them to the next person (good oportunity for a road trip) and so on, the only stipulation is that you ride them hard, do***ent it well with pics and such, then post for everyone to see. You could call it the Iggies to the People tour.

You'd have to mount them with demos, but what the hell.
DamnINeedMoreSnow
I'm don't deserve them. Asskick CS.


elevens
I have these same Igneous skis and love them, they are the best ski I have ever been on (besides my Igneous FFL).

Way to hook a bro up and all I can say is instant karma is going to get you (in a good way)

Strong move!


JR
Okay, pull out the Kleenex.

Two years ago I started down the road to new career. I've been a carpenter and treeplanter for most of my working life up until now. I enrolled in school which involved several sacrifices. I had to quit smoking dope as my brain had not truly worked to learn anything for well over 20 years. (Beyond where all the best lines and snow are in the Kootenays, that is.) I missed the better part of a season (and the 2003 maggot summit) and barely squeeked in 40 days of skiing and spent a fortune on school. (Why didn't I do it when my mom and dad were still willing to pay for it?)

Anyhow, now that is all over with. I'm officially a Client Support Analyst with the Northern Health Authority in Fort St John. The job is okay and I had to move to hicksville because no one will give a newbie a job down south. At least not one that pays more than $10/hour. I don't know a soul here and skiing is, has been, and will be my only salvation in a land of rednecks and hosers. Powderking ski hill is 3 hours from here and I will likely ski there a few times, but I will do most of my skiing under my own steam, touring.

I loaded up my stuff 3 weeks ago and reluctantly left the Kootenays. I drove up the Slocan Valley and at one point notice that the back of my truck had blown open so I stopped and checked it out. Everything looked fine so I closed it up and sped off toward Revelstoke and points beyond.

I went to move into a new place a week or so ago and made a sickening discovery. One of my beloved volkl G-4's had blown out of the truck when it blew open. I have checked with the RCMP, the local post offices, the highways maintenance contractor and anyone else who will listen including a few Slocan Valley locals whose name I pulled at random out of the phone book.

No luck. It will be a bit before all of my student loans and moving expenses are paid back and springing for a new pair of skis (or used pair for that matter) is going to be a real stretch. Doing so would mean, disconnecting my phone, internet access and eating noodles for a fews months. Not an unbearable hardship, but staying connected with my brothers and pals is likely to be about the only thing other than skiing that will keep me sane. Or as close to sane as I've ever been at any rate.

At this point I would crawl naked through a smithrite full of broken glass to get a decent pair skis for the winter. I have no problem turning big boards, I've always skied on 210-212 GS skis and while I am not a monster (6'0", 200 lbs) I'm not a lightweight either. I ski agressively and speed is my friend. I could really give a damn whether my skis are in pristine condition, as long as they stay on my feet. I've skied mismatched skis of different lengths on several occasions (for a whole winter once, a 200cm slalom ski and a 205 GS ski) and still had a ball. I'm pretty easy to please in the ski department. Anything is better than nothing I figure.

At the moment I don't have much to offer in return except my intimate knowledge of the Kootenays, a brother who can usually score my pals 2 for 1 passes at Red Mtn., and another brother who knows many of my secret stashes back home. Heaven forbid you should end up in Fort St John, I would be more than willing to show you what I have discovered in this part of the world.

I figured that I would try and make this entertaining, but hey lets face it man, I'm still pretty bummed. A skier without skis is kinda like a guy without a dick . Now there is a sad thought.

I've done my best to fix up any maggots who have got in touch with me. I dragged easyrider all over the countryside and even put up with his diarhetic dog staying with me. Even after the damn thing bit me, twice. I've still got a chunk missing out of my ass. I figure I'm usually pretty crabby when I have the runs so what the hell.

freezer18
Well I'll give this a shot...
My roommate has 4 pairs of skis and I only have 3, if I am the winner of these skis he can no longer make fun of me for being less of a person than he...


TeleNateR
I debated trying to put something in, but concluded that others needed them more.

I like the Sound of STD's candidate.


telekopter
dammit. STD's the mang and gets my vote. and i was working on my own yarn/prose for the last hour, waiting to get the jump on any early applicant's. narf!

if you've got anything else around in the next months, i've busted ass and graduated after 8 yrs of college b/c of complications over a learning disability. Beat the odds and got the degree so, I've worked hard to get where i am.

and destitute skibum? sure, but STD quality public servant, nope, not me. May he enjoy them.

CS, you've def put up one of the cooler threads around. Inspired some of us to do the same some day. thanks.

splat
I don't want them. Although I'd love to have them. But I'd like to nominate Tom from Cham as a very deserving recipient I hope you'll consider.

Here's a guy that makes less than 10K a year, but hosts every maggot that shows up in Cham and delivers an indelible skiing experience for those who believe and appear. The guy busts ass in the true ski bum way to make sure he skis every day, living in a closet, working for peanut shells. He then comes to the US to visit maggots nationwide in a dilapidated van, spreading stoke and invites. I've been hosting him for a couple weeks off and on. And he could stay til he turned 70 if he wanted. If you ever saw his pics of the boards he's skied on while posting his adventures on this forum, you'd know we can't be letting this guy do the likes of the Glacier Rond, the Poubelle, and all the other routes he skis on anything less than those Iggys.



Pinnoir


I'm sure STD will be happy to consider sending his 190 MFCs to either Tom or JR once he's gotten CS's 1

Powderfarmer
I think this thread as maybe just made me think about posting here again, and wow, like that I am back, at least part time. Way to go bud, way to keep the stoke, lets see some more good stories, I'd be game, but I feel like i have enough skis for the year.

Rehabit


I vote for JR, the dude has no skis, an I know yous went w/ Beav to look for Honc's missing K2 too.
eh?


JR
I actually never went with Beav, I went with my girlfriend who said something like "You're going to look for some guy you don't even know's ski?" Uh...... yes dear, and since you're riding on my sled, you're coming too. Of course this made me really popular. She just kept muttering, "we're missing turns so we can look for some guys ski that you met on the internet." Chicks! I believe my response was something to the effect of "You never know when I might be struggling and some guy will put up and help me out." Not that this was why I did it, but it seemed to shut her up for a bit.

We never did find it although I know we were looking in the right area. I know one of the guides there and he pointed it out to me.

Powduh Head
Very cool CS. Tough decision. STD's friend does some cool things for the community, but JR doesnt even have a single pair of stix. My vote is to you JR.


STD


What comes around goes around' deal.

If chosen as the recipient, I'm sure the individual I know would be more than happy to pass along his 190 MFCs to another deserving soul. This is a promise.

Just spreadin' the iggy love & stoke.

altachic
CS is the muther fukking mang, mang!!

STD, they're yours.

CS IS the mutthafukken mang!!!
Thanks dood!

Okay, JR...guess what?

Congratulations, looks like you're gettin' my MFCs. You'll love 'em.

email me *********************

Here's to paying it forward.....

ForgotToTurn

If he bails I think I know of another dude who would love em!


JR
You're the man STD. And of course CS for starting this whole thing. Thanks guys! Email is on its way.

Dr. Crash
There's more emotion in this thread than in a chick flick!

Good karma for CS, and for STD who then gave his skis and passed on the goods!

JR I was talking to an electrical contractor that lives along that stretch of road today. Actually he lives along that strech of road all the time but I was talking to him today. Anyways, I told him about your ski and he said he would put the word out to the locals. You may get it back yet.


STD
So JR, if you get your ski back I don't have to send you my skis??? heh

Pinnoir
If JR gets his skis back, he needs to give one pair away.

That's the way this karma train works. Might hafta jump aboard myself. Now let's see what's in this here gear closet o' mine...

JR
Let's hope that I get my ski back. I would certainly give any skis I get away if this was to happen. I love my G4's, or what is left of them.

I am totally blown away by the generosity of the maggot community. As someone who has usually been a bit of a loner, I am not accustomed to these kind of gestures. I have had not one but two awesome offers in the last couple of days. When one or the other comes to fruition I will let everyone know.

Thanks maggots, you rule.

[powder]

Of the guys in that thread only 2 of them know each other personally.

Could this place ever become as cool as that?

[ARTelevision]

well, powder a 3500-member special interest forum focused on a narrow demographic will be self-policing to a large degree - simply due to the self-selective aspects of its membership and the types of camaraderie generated by sharing similar avocations.

In brief, you're comparing apples and oranges.

The membership of TFP is a very broad, diverse, and wide-ranging group in comparison.

There's more to say on this, but I'm on a work break and thought I'd respond briefly, just now.

Thanks.

[powder]

Oops

[Arc101]

it's moderated because I'm a power hungry son of a bitch and I wouldn't have it any other way

Just what I've always suspected. I was wondering if mods actually have a life away from their computers ?

[Ganguro]

well i know we like to ban people

hmmm.. tick tock.


On a more serious note.. the staff here is VERY diverse in usage. Hell A good portion of the staff are professionals who work 40+ hour weeks, and range in age from learly 20's to .....Hanxter

We vary in technical expertise, and some of us have families, or are getting married, or moving cross country, etc..Some of us are day people, some are night owls, some are early risers..

So yes..we DO have lives, we're just dedicated to making sure this community follows in the vision Halx has and is enjoyable to the member base it has accquired.

Iin summation: Dont "Hater-ize"

[powder]

I'm not "hater-ize"ing. I'm just wondering if this place has potential to become a community that i could hang out in. The nly reason I posted that thread was to show that itis possible.

[water_boy1999]

Powder, no offense, but 68 posts is not a whole lot to see what is really going on in this forum. From the TFPers I have had conversations with, I haven't met one I wouldn't consider a friend. I keep coming here because I can post my opinions, objections, frustrations, etc....and there is always someone on the other end who appreciates a good conversation. If you see a thread you like, add to it, perhaps someone will send you a personal message to start a one-on-one conversation. However you proceed, know that TFP IS a place you can go to to make new friends.

By the way, if ever in the Sacramento area, any TFPer can cruise by my pad for a beer!!!

I didn't know anyone from this board when I first joined. I've already met a few of the people here. I also have phone numbers and addresses of several of the board members. I've talked with a couple board members and I've mailed a couple CDs to them. I guarentee that I'd never do this on any other board that I've seen.

This is the only board that held my attention long enough for me to want to stay. I've been here damned long they made me an admin.

[Halx]

i'm not getting the point of this thread

it's like saying "Are you guys cool enough to be MY friend?"

Screw that, man. "Are you cool enough to hang with the TFPers" is more like it.

Not to put a self-righteous spin on it all, but we're all ready nice to all the newbies and we constantly welcome new peeps to the fold. We're in no mood to suddenly change ourselves so we can be cool in *your* eyes if we aren't all ready. We have a model that appeases the general public. If ya don't fit in.. you may be about 2 or 3 standard deviations away from the norm.

[Midlandmadman]

Power you said....I'm not "hater-ize"ing. I'm just wondering if this place has potential to become a community that i could hang out in.


no-one is gonna beg you to come here. No one is gonna beg you to participate.... It seems like people come here cause they like the company. If you do stay... have fun, enjoy yourself. If you don't think its cool enough for you....don't come back. I guess I don't have any right to say that but in your post its almost like you want someone to say " oh please stay in our fourm.... we can't make it without ya!!!" Its not gonna happen.... So , stay... go It really dosen't matter one way or the other.

[Averett]

I haven't been here very long in comparison to most here, but I've felt very welcome. Everyone has been nice, and this has been the only forum that I've seen where people act civilized and nice to eachother. There is no flaming, no n00b hazing.

I dunno. The mods are all very fair. There are rules here, just follow them and don't be an asshole and you'll be alright.

I like the diveristy. There are a ton of forums to look thought. Some I visit a lot, and others I've never looked at.

In short, TFP roxors.

holy hell, listen to yourself. halx has it right on the nose... if you're just looking for a place that will cater to your specific needs, keep on looking. we're who we are and we're not gonna change that for your specific needs. like any other major desicion (car, house, spouse, etc.), you hafta consider whether or not this forum will meet your needs, and if it dosen't it's best just to move on.

that's totally up to you, not us.

[a2k]

For every moderated forum, there's a thousand jack-a$$es wanting to post to them. The only difference between this and other moderated (ie most) forums is that people seem to like to talk about how the forum is moderated. If nobody brought it up, I think few of us would ever know it was moderated.

I'm not sure why, but there seems to be a lot of people talking about whether they should participate, and whether or not mods = evil. Maybe it's because the people here tend to be people that like to think about and discuss the world around them.

And Powder, by asking the very question, it looks like you're already hanging!

[powder]

I guess that came off wrong. I'm not asking "Are you guys cool enough?" I was wondering if there is much of a "community" here. It seems I have an answer.

I'll be around. Hell, I may even fit in.

[Prince]

I like this place, because I can voice my opinions and ask dumb questions without someone telling me to fuck off. Somehow I don't think that this is simply because of the large number of moderators and admins; I personally have not invited anyone to this board and would be very careful about doing so, and I suspect there are others who feel the same way. Not because I discuss personal issues such as my sex life here, but also because I would want to be sure that the person I was referring to this place could act in as mature a manner as the rest of the folks here.

Ya might, at that.

No better way to get started than to put your foot in it, then clean it up. Welcome!

[Fire]

dont realy know why- but I have to agree with all the people that love this place- there may be no focus, but somehow everything just hangs together- and in the short time that i have been here it seems to grow and change to respond to the comunity- ( p.s. thanks a million to who ever started the idea for the weapons forum)

[Pragma]

I love the fact that this place is moderated -- so that stupid and abusive comments, the plague of the internet, get filtered out -- and I'm very thankful to the moderators and admins for taking care of that task.

I help run a much lower-traffic website and know that it's a major pain to do. I can't imagine the headaches they deal with.

That said, I do feel a sense of community here, though I don't participate in the chat as much as I'd like (I have very limited free time these days), and there are definitely a lot of people on here I'd like to get to know better, but haven't had the chance to.

But more than the sense of community I feel in relation to myself, I also sense a much larger sense of community between some of the other users -- the fact that people care enough about each other to go and post birthday messages on the forum, just as a minor example, among many other things.

But above all else, I appreciate the fact that the people that post here are mature enough to realize that this is not your average message board, this is something special. It's special to Halx, because he created it. It's special to the admins and moderators, because they help run it. It's special to me, because I can carry out honest discussions with people, seek advice, provide advice, and otherwise communicate with interesting people from around the globe.

[OFKU0]

I've been on lots of forums over the years and quite bluntly put,this is just another forum,no big deal.

Each forum has its share of everything imaginable,from people who are knowledgeble to those who pretend they are.This forum is no acception. There are those who are and those that pretend.Sounds good sometimes though..

I've been here a short time but like most forums,this one too is predictable. Lifes like that.

I've been here a short time but like most forums,this one too is predictable. Lifes like that.

looks like this guy has us FIGURED OUT! :P Geez, hasn't even been here a week and he thinks he knows what it's about.

Maybe a week in your life but not mine. I like sarcasm though.

Just being fair.I think a lot of people here can and do make this forum worthwhile however,as stated,this forum has some windbags whose opinions go virtual uncontested for reasons that at least are clear to me.

As for figuring things out.I think it was early in the v2.0 that I had a good bead on things. It's really not that difficult.

Fair enough and I'll take that as a compliment though not intended.

Overall it's a good forum,but it could be better.Everything can be.

What brought you to TFP? Most say Titty Board.

It's why you stay that's important. Some people would even say they stay BECAUSE of the community (shock! horror!).
