I appreciate your backhanded attempt to get me to lay out for OO why they should open up the old SJC for a brief period in May.
LMAO! If you were serious with this comment, which I doubt, but just in case I can assure you that I have no agenda in play to get you state your case for the reopening of the SJC.
You are quite an evil genius.
You’re batting .500 with that comment there Slugger. LOL
People cannot contribute to this blog without joining, but they can send email via the link at the right of page. I do get emails from people saying they enjoy our blog. David Lim has a link to this blog on his website, have you seen it? It's a button that directs people to this URL. http://www.everest.org.sg/
Again, so what? I often find this link from Tim’s old photo site. Emails are one thing, participation is the real measurement.
Blogspot is not perfect in that people cannot contribute freely like they could on the old OO site.
Exactly why almost all sponsored forums or blogs require some type of registration – interestingly the same reason hotmail and yahoo email accounts are still popular for creating false accounts.
Even though the old OO chat attracted a few trolls, it was also a great opportunity for anyone to contribute.
Yep, those were the days weren’t they? I also remember folks posting and promoting rival web sites, forums for publications; the outing of individuals who had reason to fear such things; banter that bordered on slander; and comments regarding equipment companies that were advertisers with the parent magazine. For those reasons alone, not to mention the effort required to monitor a money losing set up why would Outside be expected to continue? For an example of what I’m talking about, drop me an email and I’ll tell you a story regarding lawyers, a Web site and a questioned Everest summit.
The SJC served the purpose for what it had been designed to do. In fact it stayed up long past its best before date. The pendulum of interest swung away.
