I just don't want the good diluted and I don't want to have to weed out more stuff that doesn't interest me.
Oh well, I'll wait and see. I hope it works. :popcorn:
Edit: Sorry, double post. Dang laptop mouse..... :frustrated: I told you I am a computard.
Scot - Good luck with the new little one!
Best wishes for you & your wife - I'm pulling for everything to go smoothly and quickly (for your wife's sake).

I don't think you should be surprised by moderator comments.... the memo you sent out to the mods was a "This is what we are going to do". It was a statement, it did not ask for input, suggestions or thoughts. It was a done deal by the time the mods were notified.Quote:

Zero

Zero x 3 = Zero
Anyhoo.... I'm happy to sit back and see where this goes, Ideally I would like to see the forum morph into a western states forum.
This whole deal kind of reminds me of attempting to up-grade your high school girlfriend.... Do you keep the sweet 7..... or.... do you dump her ass and try for the sexy 9. :lol8:
:bert:
TRIPLE!!!Quote:

Sombeech, you keep saying that 52 of the 300 top posters are from out of state. The reason they post here is because they are posting about UTAH. That being said I think the idea has grown on me while I have had some time to think about it, and Stefan makes some good points.
I do enjoy hearing about when Brewhaha went to Colorado to do some hiking and arch hunting. Jamis Jockey's topless photo's made me hot... I do like reading the TR's from the wind rivers, grand canyon, canyoneering in Washington, hiking in Oregon, etc. So I like the gremlin am here for the long run. And I will try not to bitch and moan so much :2thumbs:
Sorry if my comments came across as that... But you have google ads at the top and the bottom of each page, I assume they pay per hit, so I further assumed you stand to gain by going bigger. If your not making money (making money and making a profit are two different things IMO) then whats with the google ads?Quote:

But then it opens up for a forum that wants to specialize in all things Utah, not 90% Utah... all things Utah. Mabey I'm just one that feels that way? But judging on some of the responses, its a 50-50 bet... I say do it and see where it lands.
You and Beech know where I stand and I believe you guys have done and are doing a great job here. I believe the people on this forum is what makes this a very interesting place and there is a wealth of knowledge here. I first came here due to Beech being interested in my 4x4 clips. I saw the UUTAH link he had and I was totally interested in it due to my trips out to you guys. Until this forum, I never even heard of Canyoneering. I was like, WTH is this. When I ventured in their I was speechless seeing the trip reports and the photographs. People just dropping into a crack in the ground :haha:Quote:

I believe you guys truly reside in God's country, I believe nothing else on Earth is that breathtaking. I, from time to time, will shoot you guys a few pics from New England to let you guys know just how lucky you guys are, especially with the vast amount of outdoor activities to do and visit.
I'll be along for the ride, I absolutely enjoy this place...no matter what the name is :mrgreen:
Oh, good luck Acca with the little one :2thumbs: Congratulations!!! :friday: :friday:
Hey acca, I just got my first check for $327. I thought you said it would take another month.
oops, I thought this was a PM. :oops:
Hey I hope theres a family cut in there :five:Quote:

I think it will be a good addition to an already great forum. I agree that the people that participate on the forum is what makes it such a great place to hang out and share information. Thanks for all you do guys :2thumbs:
Not that my 2 bits means squat but i say good move, i like Bogley and think it will attract more people...
With that said, i doubt they will post because the impression i get/got (when joining) from the site is that it is for about 20 people who post excessively, spam constantly (which is fun), know each other, lust each other, want their post count to be the highest and so on.... I feel there is great info in spots but take away the several thousand posts some have and its really not that large....
I'm sure someone will get their panties in a bunch about what i said and the fact that i have not posted much here but it will only prove my point that you can lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink... unless they need it and the water is good...
IMO

I have seen this photo many times and it's still one of my all time favorites. Daddies and babies are special.
When I first saw the bogely werewolf gremlin up on the banner it reminded me of a site for punk kids that think they make the world turn. Just from the name and the current logo I'd expect a place to discuss halo, skateboarding, texting, love triangles, crude photos/videos, and not something outdoors.
I'm ok with the name bogely but I'd like to see something like bogely outdoors, the name bogely does exactly what you wanted it to say, NOTHING. If bogely stays I suggest a logo that will not leave any question whether or not this is an outdoor community.
It's sad to see the Utah focus go away. I'd like to see it go no further than the western states.

You can also change what the "bogley" is doing based on season. In the winter the bogley would have skis or a snowboard strapped to his paws. In the spring, he would be rappelling down a slot canyon, in the summer he would be riding an ATV, etc, etc.....
Much like Google.com customizes their logo to fit the season, so too we ought to look in to something similar, where the outdoor creature is acting out the activities lined out in this forum given the appropriate season.
Have you read general discussion lately? :roflol:Quote:

That'd be cool :nod:Quote:
