Snowolf has decided it is time for him to move on from this site. He is no longer an admin, but hopefully will decide to participate on the forum from time to time when he has a chance. You will be missed man.

Donutz has accepted my offer to be promoted to Admin status. He has been a reliable moderator on this site for years and this is his reward. You have stepped in it now my friend!

Farewell wolfie and a well deserved congrats to Donutz!

The bottom line is everything placed on this forum is property of the owners. Read the Terms of Service. Snowolf no longer owns what was put on this site.

If the powers that be want his posts here they will be here. It is all backed up and can be restored. There may be consequences to restoring the data but it can be restored. Unless someone with some juice clearly states that they are gone forever and cannot be recovered I will assume that they don't want the posts displayed.

I have previously stated that it is my opinion for the profitability and health of this forum his posts should be retrieved.

It was planned to be introduced in a much better fashion. It was still days, if not weeks away from being announced when our hand or more or less forced. We went about it all wrong. It didn't help that I was at SIA working on relationships with FOBP and for this site at the time and I just didn't have the time to straighten in out. I was pretty tired after each day at the show, and it got worse before it got better.

It is water under the bridge at this point. We missed out on an awful lot over that one.

Oh lets just magically forget the part about lawyers being threatened when the scapegoat (me) was not stoked on being the scapegoat. Tried to help the guy and rather than take advice he went the opposite way. The reason the posts don't exist is because of shit he said reflects poorly on him and anyone that in the future might want to work with him can now see it, slash and burn, it's gone. Although the Internet has a way of not forgetting things.

This whole post is exactly what he wants people saying "oh we miss him" "he was the best" the guy was fucking unhinged. End of story. Get pissed I said it but it's the god damn truth.

All communities gain and lose people it's just how it goes. Take what you want from what he left you with if it was positive it was positive if it was negative it was negative. But at the end of the day he's gone that's all that matters.

and some of his posts were useful and some of his posts made you wanna beat his ass....


How is he any different than YOU?

You both have useful view points and will defend them like a spidermonkey jacked up on Mtn dew.

I have been involved in forums where I did the same thing and I don't miss those hobbies at all... LOL

The difference, and it is a big one, is that BA does his thing as a 'regular' forum member here, while wolfie used his admin capabilities to influence debates, etc.
As I said before, the fundamental question was whether this should be wolfie's den or a community site. Scott quite openly espoused the view that his admin role meant that it was the former (at least to a degree) and that people should toe the line - many people were not happy with that...

no. the forums are serving me nicely today.

I think its fair to say that after years of everyone dealing with SW on various levels that all the fallout be allowed to happen here. Its not like there aren't plenty of people who will miss him. Racer makes a good point so does kill and others about how negativity is spread on the web, he's just a dude. Unless he came to your house, fucked your dog and kicked your wife, the butthurt ppl give him way too much credit.

I'll miss him, good, bad and otherwise. I'm a fuckwit whose wife doesnt even like me half the time.

I didn't read half his TLDR technique posts or when he was all political, but there was still a buttload of useful, fun and good stuff. I miss the hardcore BC aspect of TR's with 7k vert on them. Nobody else posts tr's and pics like that and I don't see anybody stepping up so the haters can hate but I saw the pics and that shit was a badass inspiriation every time to me. Then again I like to hike alot.

Hey, I love a good argument, honestly, love em'.

& I wouldn't mind going back & forth for hours, as long as valid points are being conveyed.
You couldn't have one of those with SleetHound, if you in any way disagreed with his position on anything:RantExplode:, Cover your eyes & ears cause every adjective that can be applied to the word cunt is a comin':RantExplode:

I always thought he had the power to terminate accounts(which I'm sure he did) It was very hard to judge where the line was. Not a lot of people in here want to argue with him because of how often he threatened to give people the boot.
I'm just the type of smart ass guy, that will push it to as close as I can get. Duh.

Don't get me wrong, I know I'm not the only one. Those are some of my favorite threads.

I think I can read people pretty good, I guarantee I made steam come out of his ears many times. The difference, I can do it through wit, without having to personally/purposely insult someone.

If you went through my posts, I can guaran-fuckin-tee you won't find any where I'm calling people whining cunts, leaking cunts, not even fresh as a daisy cunts:huh:

He's the only person I almost used the ignore button on. Simply because I couldn't talk to him like a buddy.
Your not always gonna be keen on what your buddies are saying/doin', it's okay to to say to your buddies face "Hey, are you fuckin' retarded"
If they're doin' somethin' retarded.

Correct?

If you can't talk to someone like that, they aren't your buddy.
Respect is earned, not given.

In the end, I couldn't hit the ignore key.
The enjoyment outweighed the risk.

I do what the fuck I want. When I want. Always

This might not be the right thread or right time to say this, but I'm going to anyway.

Regarding Never Summer...

I'm a huge fan of their products, their willingness to stand behind their products, and the fact that they're a local company. I've met their owners and they're good dudes. I've visited the factory a couple of times and had awesome experiences both times with everyone there. However... I will say that on the customer facing side, I fear NS may be on their way to fucking up a good thing. The majority of my professional career has been spent representing products both on the sales side and the marketing side. The experiences I've had with NS reps at events, be they demo days or at events NS is sponsoring have been a completely different story. There is a whole lot of bro brahing, too cool for you, and just hanging out with their boys while either ignoring or in some cases being downright rude to potential customers. When you're representing a brand, you're not there to hang out with your boys and be too cool for school - you're there to portray your brand and your products in the most appealing way that you can. Maybe some of the teenagers look at that bullshit and think it's cool and want to try to be a part of the clique, but grown ass men look at that shit and just roll their eyes. The way this whole program was laid out only furthers that "clique-ish" type mentaility. NS makes a great product, they have a great reputation, and they have some great people working for them, but in terms of their field operations they need to get their shit together before they fuck that up. That's just real, honest talk.

I must admit he helped me out with some technical aspects of my riding through video analysis, and I enjoyed coversations with I'm about Australia and whatnot. BUT i do agree he did sometimes play on his power position and while he passionately argued his points i found that he rarely acknowledged that other people were right and had a right to their opinion, very much a dictatorship in that regard.

And not that I knew much about the NS shit but I do agree it was so biased its not funny and could not possibly be objective.

Woooo

I'm on here nearly everyday and I had no clue WTF was going on. I didn't read about the NS stuff cuz it didn't interest me. Love my Arbor.

Gonna miss the trucking stories, cool pics and yes I got good riding advice for him. We were on opposite sides of the political isle, but that is ok.

Gonna miss his techy talk, it helped me as did so many other riders input.
Cr0_Reps_Smit is always an inspiration for this ole dad, BA still adds a lot of life to the forum life.

Congrats Donutz keep at it
not much more to add/say.... still a member, still love to ride and still need tips from fellow riders.
