Hi guys,
Good show on starting up this forum.
I'm probably not going to re-activate the BTT forum. A couple of reasons, but the main one is that I want to spend most of my web-time devoted to rebuilding the trick tip content and adding new tips. That is what the site is really best at -- and was the original focus. I feel like the forums allowed me to be lazy. by giving readers a place to go, I could sit back and do nothing, rather than improving the site.
So now I have re-focused on the trick tip content -- plus I'll be writing some new articles and reviews and stuff.
CRASS has access to the member list from the old forum. CRASS -- if you lost it, I can get it for you. I can provide you guys with a list of the most frequent posters, and you can then pick the ones you want to invite here.
I will be stopping by every day to see what's going on.
Bob

Awwwwwwww man, no more BTT Forum? Bob, just one thing that might persuade you, since the members are still there, maybe (while the forum is closed) you could delete the Platinum, Casey, or whatever other names the guy had, and then block new signups? Pleeeeeeeeease? We promise that we'll even help you build the site with new tips and stuff, it'll be great. The whole community helping out the site. But it's your decision, and I don't want to cause you any trouble.
Yeah, the memberlist can do us some good.

I think he was most likely picking unused accounts from the members list, and then guessing from a list of common passwords. Since there were over 2000 members, most of 'em inactive, that was a lot of potential accounts.
I think if CRASS and freestyleskater go through the member list and pick the best 50 members in good standing -- and then do a good job of only INVITING people to your new forum, things will be cool.

Ok Bob, what would be great is if you could give us a list of the members in order from most posts to the least. We'll invite the people.

I have noticed a lot more tricks content on the BTT site. I read about this at boneless one.com, i need my skate forum. This is a great idea guys, i had not a single thing to do online anymore. Bob, i notice a lot of your tricks are from people i dunno, are you letting people contribute? if so i have a few tech/flip tricks with small clips i could give tips for...fakie bigspin late flip, hardflips, 360 flips and the such come to mind. if you want em give the word.
Once again, great idea with these forums.

Okay well, atleast now I can say it. I f**king HATE Bob Loftin. There, now that feels good to get off my chest... Jeeez, Jshub ! All I've done is spend a bunch of my own money for the last 4 years to provide trick tips to the masses, then have some jerk try to crash my forum and my readers' browsers. I'm not asking for any pity, but at least cut a brother some slack. I've spent a lot of time on that site, and I got tired of little bastards like Platinum ruining it. My time is better spent providing what the site was originally intended for -- tips. |

Sorry, I didn't think you would actually see that. I don't hate you. ;D My point is, IT WAS ONLY ONE SPAMMER. Whoopty Whoop. He spammed, mods deleted. TA-DA!
And yeah, I realized you were slacking with the tricks before this happened. I don't see how the forum prevented you from submitting new tricks (you just got lazy...admit it).
