this whole rivalry thing is just silly.
whats funny, is most who follow canyoneering lurk/participate on BOTH sites.

i post up more here due in part that i prefer PhpBB over yahoo groups.
now if someone ponied up for a Vbulletin and made the 2 group one, that would be sweet.
but the reality is that certain egos wouldnt allow that to happen, so in the end we are stuck with what we have.

just plain silly if you ask me but then again, what do i know :ne_nau:

TRs on yahoo groups... :roll:

well, if you're as interested in canyoneering as you seem to be, you might want to consider joining the Canyons Yahoo Group and the ACA Forums. all three of these forums have something different to offer as far as canyoneering goes. each has their own place.

It's definitely being discussed.

Apples and oranges....

I think Acca was speaking technically as an IT guy.... then yeah…. it's Moped vs BMW.... I think Ram is speaking content... then yeah.... fine wines is a better analogy.

What is this Vbulletin of which you speak? Is it really that much better? And would we be able to keep our current content?

If it's really better I'll pay for the upgrade, but you have to convice me it's better....

As for combining the groups.... the men you have to speak with are Ram and his cohorts.... I have enquired before about combining the groups and proposed what I thought was a workable solution... I believe one of Ram's cohorts exact reply was "over my dead body"....

If the canyoneering community really wants only one forum it's easy enough to obtain... they just have to apply a little consumer pressure to force the wedding.

I like having two groups, with decidedly different character. I can be more abrasive over here (though I have just been told I am extremely abrasive over there). Oh well, sometimes maybe I get confused!

I think there should be as many canyoneering websites to suffice the demand. Some users may be more comfortable using one over another. No big deal? Or is it? I don't think it is. I'll join and use where and what website I feel most comfortable with. :roll: There could be 500 individual websites out there......no need to merge.

Wow! This got blown outta proportion. I received a lengthy response to my one sentence reply, with some nice wine analogies for good measure. :lol8:

Pick yer poison I guess. I am not bothered where you post. I prefer to read the information here on bogley and see the pictures. Many employers block the photo sharing websites, including mine. So I could not see this TR and I don't like multiple logins. However, bogley is not blocked and the pictures display just fine.

As for Yahoo Groups. Well, I was strictly speaking about web technology. Yahoo Groups is just old technology, developed in 1998. It has had very few updates over the past 5 years and is just still there somehow. Kinda like a dinosaur still floating around the web, or a moped if your a motorcycle guy like me. As mentioned by others, there are certainly better platforms available.

It was nothing to do with the people. Sorry if I offended. I play on the interwebs for a living (not on bogley) and I guess I am a web snob. :lol8:

"Yahoo! Groups competitor is Google Groups."

Oh hell. :lol8: I hope nobody notifies the moderator of the google canyon group, "hey, those guys on bogley are talking about your competitor, yahoo, you'd better get on here and say something".

Dang! I thought you were joking around? Seems that this is serious business! :ne_nau: Lets get serious Scott! :haha:

Hope you make it to the Bogley Fest! I'm going to do my best to be there (if it becomes); wanna meet you guys for sure. :nod:
