New from West Valley

[imfrog2002]

Hey all! I just got my account activated, so I'm making a post here. I'm a 16 year old from West Valley, and I love the outdoors. I'm an Eagle Scout, so I've been outside a lot trying to get the camping merit badge. My favorite spot in Utah would have to be the East Fork of the Bear River. It's a great Boy Scout camp, but I'd love to go up there just to camp in all truth. It's a great area, even if it does rain a lot. I've spent almost 2 months up there, and it's been worth it every day, because it's so awesome up there. I'm also a Geocacher. (Some of you might recognize me from the UTAG forums, I have the same username.) Anyway, I'm pretty sure that I'll enjoy the forums. Thanks!

Welcome to the fourms, and yes, I recognize you from UTAG.

[LibertyN8]

Welcome! I'm one of the crazy cachers too!

[DiscGo]

Welcome to the site. I'm also a big geocacher. I love that we are taking over this site :haha: As I stated on UTAG I love this site and I think it is great. I really hope you enjoy it as well.

[accadacca]

Welcome aboard!! Be sure to tell all your geocaching buddies about the site. :2thumbs:

[Sombeech]

welcome! :2thumbs:

[RugerShooter]

Wow things are heating up over at the UTAG website all DiscGolfDiver did is post up an invite to sign up here on uutah.com and it is starting to turn ugly.

CaverSpencer is the only one who really seems upset. I don't really get it? He was still using this site when I first joined and all of a sudden, he appears very anti-uutah.

I was going back through previous posts on utag and it looks like accadacca received about the least friendly welcome of all time. Between being Mormon and conservative I have been pretty offended by some people on this site, but everyone was at least polite in welcoming me, and everyone gets along when it comes to the outdoors (which is really why I first came to this site anyway).

[DiscGo]

How in the hell can you even say UUTAH.COM is spam, it is a very informative website about the Utah Outdoors, and I quite enjoy being a member over there. There are allot of very knowledgeable people over there in several different areas. I would suggest to join up if you enjoy outdoors and no I have nothing to do with operating there website, Just standing up for them.

If it wasn't heating up over there before, it will after your comment Davis :haha:

[RugerShooter]

You have to defend what you love even if it is SPAM :2thumbs:
sorry to get off topic

[accadacca]

We did make caverspencer a moderator and he didn't login to the site for weeks and we could not get a hold of him. Iceaxe can back me up on this one. It was Shane's idea to bring him on as a moderator, but he ended up flaking off. Plain and simple! :ne_nau:

[Iceaxe]

I'm an Eagle Scout

Sweet.... I expect to hear some good boyscout stories :nod:

:2thumbs: Welcome to the forum :2thumbs:

CaverSpencer disappeared after this thread

http://uutah.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3204

Read the thread and you will probably figure it out.....

:popcorn:

[Sombeech]

I have seen the UUtah creaters try and take over and eliminate MANY other forums all in the name of increasing their own website hits to sell advertising.
Eliminate other forums? I'm probably the biggest spammer here, and I've never tried to eliminate ANY forum. I've only wanted to introduce other members to a forum that has their "off season" interests as well.


I was the moderator of a climbing group and they sent me an email asking if would like to moderate their caving and climbing forums for them and after a few email exchanges I opened up the membership list of my group to them, once that was done they have not had the courtesy to even answer emails, not mention the empty promises they made.

The dude disappeared for about 2 months after we asked him to be moderator. Then, in better judgement, we decided an inactive member isn't the best moderator.

I was one of the people on his email list, and I didn't ignore him. And I definitely don't remember promising him anything.

[Iceaxe]

Also.... CaveSpencer NEVER opened his membership to anyone.

What a douche :lol8:

[accadacca]

Also.... CaveSpencer NEVER opened his membership to anyone.
Exactly!! Thats a boldface LIE!!! :nono:

What ever blows yer skirt up. :roll:

[accadacca]

...and I love Iceaxe and Sombeech's last two posts on that UTAG thread...Priceless!! :2thumbs: :roflol:

[DiscGo]

...and I love Iceaxe and Sombeech's last two posts on that UTAG thread...Priceless!! :2thumbs: :roflol:

Yeah, those were funny. I especially enjoyed Sombeech's spam picture.

[DiscGo]

MOCKBA just posted a very nice message clarifying that he was not saying that uutah was spam now, but when Accadacca made his first posts the members of utag weren't sure. MOCKBA was also very nice about the improvements uutah has made. I feel a lot better about utag now after his comments because now the only message against uutah is from caverspencer and we know why he is mad.

[Iceaxe]

WOW.... I got banned at UTAG.

If somebody knows who owns that forum please PM me their name and email. I didn't join to spam or be an ass. I Really joined to see what was so popular.

:cool2:

[DiscGo]

Wow. I'm really surprised. I'll try and find out now.


The irorny is I just posted a message about how wrong I was about them

[DiscGo]

The owners of the site go by "SirGerald" and "Brownbag". I tried looking for email addresses but couldn't find any. I private messaged them about you. I am surprised that they left SomBeech's comment and banned you.

[accadacca]

I was surprised to see your comment deleted? Do you remember what you said exactly? It was nothing that should have been deleted? I am shocked! :eek2:

I guess we have discovered the real difference between uutah and utag.

[DiscGo]

imfrog2002- I hope you don't take offense to so much of this "debate" taking place in your welcome message. You really are free to use both sites without any complaints or worries. Feel free to post whatever you want (at least on this site).

[accadacca]

Yeah, sorry for the hijack. :blahblah:

[Iceaxe]

Yeah imfrog2002 might end up with our world record newbie thread :lol8:

[Sombeech]

WOW.... I got banned at UTAG.

Serious? :roflol:

Panic mode, setting in. Ban all uutah members.

My number's coming up, so I just did some brown nosing.

Actually, I really do agree that UTAG is the main place for utah geocaching, and we never intend to overtake them in that demographic audience.

[RugerShooter]

Sorry for getting this going, but I just felt you needed to know what was going on over there.

[Cirrus2000]

WOW.... I got banned at UTAG.

If somebody knows who owns that forum please PM me their name and email. I didn't join to spam or be an ass. I Really joined to see what was so popular.

:cool2:

I think it may have had to do with the two messages of yours that were full of links to .biz and .info sites. :ne_nau:

Couldn't figure out why you did that, other than to rub their noses in their "SPAM" talk...

Hey - did you post those, or did an admin/moderator there edit your posts to do that?

I clicked your profile in the response you made to the UUtah spam thread, and then viewed all your posts. It said you'd made 2 posts, but then came up with 3 in the listing. 2 were just full of spam links. One of them remarked how there was software to get around the image system for registering.

If you DIDN'T post those spam links - then you've been set up.

[DiscGo]

I'm sure it will all get straightened out.

[RugerShooter]

well if WWW.UUTAH.COM is pornography then well, I LOVE PORN

Either way, I'm good. :2thumbs:

[tanya]

Maybe it's just my bad memory but I thought the Utah Climbing Yahoo Forum had an open membership where anyone could invite from it without permission. All they had to do was join the group and take the list. I think I even invited from it for my Yahoo Groups.

[Iceaxe]

I'm working with one of the Mod's at UTAG right now. It appears something fishy is going on over there and someone is playing games.

I only contributed two posts two posts to UTAG. The first was saying I discovered the UTAG forum on a post at uutah. The second was asking for help with my avatar. Neither of those two posts contained any spam.

Hoping to get things straightened out.

Yeah.... CaveSpencer is full of crap! About the only thing he got correct was his name. The rest of his rant was pure male bovine excetment.

He was asked about being a caving Mod at uutah, but we never heard back from him. Funny part is if you read his post and swap the names uutah and CaveSpencer it's a lot more accurate.

Interesting. You're being framed! I was a little freaked out by the spam posts. They were SERIOUS spam. I could see you doing something like that here for a laugh, but not elsewhere when the good name of uutah was on the line. (Anybody else see them?)

Hope it gets sorted.

I think UTAG has some type of securuty issue. I'm happy you mentioned the spam or I would have no clue why I was being banned.

I mean dang..... On their site I never even mentioned that CaveSpencer a douche (yet). :haha:

I couldn't resist :haha: My original comment was based on what Cirrus had said. Cirrus messaged me to give me the heads up that he changed his text, and he told me so I wouldn't look dumb. When I went to change mine, I saw your text and realized how strange it would look without mine and I just had to leave it for a little bit. :roflol:

The same thing happened on the UTAG forum before. A new user signed up, and shortly after there was a spam post from his username, bu he didn't actually post it. There is apparently a vulnerability in phpBB that allows this to happen, but only for the last user to sign up. In your case Iceaxe, it just happened to be really unfortunate timing. :lol8:

Yo, waz happnin? I just joined UTAG, I though it would be a cool place to cache some ladeez.

[DiscGo]

You did not just join UTAG!!! :roflol: :haha: :roflol:

[Iceaxe]

Alright... UTAG has once again allowed me to bless their forum with my greatness. :lol8:

I am no longer banned...

:popcorn:

[Sombeech]

I am no longer banned...

...and probably don't have much more to say now. :lol8:

[DiscGo]

For the record:

UTAG- Is still a great site. Geocaching is a lot of fun (and often a good excuse to go outside) and there are a lot of great people on that site. I really do still recommend it.

CaverSpencer emailed me and was very cool. He expressed interest in wanting to really reconcile with uutah and come back and help.

UTAG Members- I have several UTAG members email me (not wanting to get involved publicly in the debate) and thank me for my invite to UUTAH and my comments on that site.

I really think that everything should be all squared away now and there should be no hard feelings. You aren't really "supposed" to talk about non-geocaching related items on UTAG, and so UTAG members are welcome to come over here and message about anything. I think it would be great if UUTAH members made a point of checking out UTAG every once and while just for good measure.
