I joined a few months ago but never posted until now.

My set up this year = Boss 390 Bindings on a NS Cobra 158

I am also launching my new business in 2015. Recently, I purchased a Sprinter Van. I work in the Music Business and have also decided to provide transport services from Denver Airport to Summit County.

Do all forums have members like you? Seems like that is not very friendly.


Don't assume pal :dance:
Well I could just be a dick and kick the side of your sprinter van next time it rolls through town. Would that be better?

Seriously it's a community here, why aren't you offering anything to them since it's clear you just want promote your Sprinter van. Don't be such a fucking bottom feeder.

Some fun reading for Captain Sprinter Van.

Spam

NO. No damned way. You spam, you will be banned so fast you'll get radiation burns. See the other thread in this section on "Posting Surveys and Advertising" if you have a snowboarding-related business. Posts with irrelevant links to unrelated business or products are spam, and yes we'll notice. Signatures with links to non-snowboarding businesses are spam as well, although we'll sometimes let an unobtrusive one go. Repeatedly posting stuff that references your website is spam, no matter what word you want to use instead. We have paid advertising. If you want to advertise, use that.


Some practical advice for new members

As a newcomer you haven't yet established any cred or any rapport with the group. Just as in real life, if you come in with mouth blazing you'll get punched. Please use some common sense. This is a community. Many of our members ride together, and many are friends on and off the forum. You are, metaphorically, a stranger walking up to a group of people and trying to join in. Be circumspect, try to learn the personalities and the flavor of the forum before diving in full volume.


You can read this here.

Then there's this.


Advertising

If you want to open a thread to point people to your SNOWBOARDING RELATED product or company, that's ok. Don't open multiple threads in multiple sections, or you'll be deleted and banned. Don't 'bump' your thread every day with irrelevant addendums. Don't drop irrelevant posts into multiple existing threads pointing out your company or thread. Be prepared for a little bit of abuse in any case. Be a contributing member, not just a free-advertiser. It is ok to have a link to your SNOWBOARDING RELATED company web page in your signature.


You can read that here.

Now want to tell me how I'm being a dick? Where's the discount for members of this community that had to be bothered by your spamming. I know SEO is expensive and building word of mouth takes time especially when competing against the likes of CME. But being a dick and bottom feeder gets you no where. You in your infinite wisdom are trying to build inbound links to your site to drive up your Google positioning. Don't think some of us can't see that.

I wish you happy holidays and a happy New Year! May you be grateful.



We are very excited to provide transportation for The Dirty Dozen Brass Band from New Orleans for their Colorado tour.

If you are in Aspen and Telluride lets kick it! :samba:

IF you would like more info I am happy to talk about it. IF you want to talk business you can email me.

The only reason you got a second look instead of a ban-and-clean is because you bought a membership. That buys you some slack. BTW, you can thank BA for that -- I didn't notice right away.

The point here is that A) your business isn't snowboarding-related that I can see (unless I missed something) and B) Most of your first posts were basically ads, and the rest are defending your ads.

I just this morning deleted some stereo-and-cell-phone-sales spam. You might be thinking "but it's just one item, what's the big deal" but we get a lot of this shit. So we're militant about cleaning it up, and as the guidelines say "normal rules of moderation do not apply" when members are dealing with someone they consider a spammer.

BTW, BA is being pretty easy one you. I think he must have just got laid or something.

Insofar as shuttling people to/from resorts I agree with that statement. OP, you don't hold a candle to CME or Summit Express, they are not even in the same universe with your one-van operation.

The only advantage you could offer to people on this forum is a significantly reduced cost of service. That's basically your only hail mary pass. But you come here unprepared to readily give that information. And even if you generate enough traffic to increase your site visibility (and I doubt you will) what you're offering won't be enough to lure customers away from bigger, better, well established services.

FEEL free to delete what ever you want. Sorry if you don't like my postings and sorry I ruined your day about it. My one van operation is doing fine. I have been hit up by other transport services in the area on their overflow business. I think jumping on this will be sweet. I am going to get in a lot of days this winter doing it! I got a ride to Copper on Wednesday thru Facebook. No need to advertise here to avatar's :embarrased1:

I have also taken rides in both of those company's vans. Both do not have near the features I have installed into my van.

Her name is Janis :eek:ccasion14: Yo
Unless...Can you give me a quote?

I've got 4 guys, three rollers (one guy's renting skis...). Pick us up at DEN 7AM JAN4 (Sunday), drop us off at the Breck Gondola (Stop at Idaho Springs for cigarette and coffee). Hold our bags and pick us up at Breck Gond around 5PM, Bring us to hotel, not sure which one yet, but my buddy loves Bubba Haught and wants to stay at that one that he bartends. We may want to go to Copper or Vail on Monday morning, we'll try and let you know by 1AM. Bring us to either of those places by 9AM and Pick us up from either of those places around 5 and bring us back to Bubba Haught's. Same thing Tuesday morning. Unless we go to Keystone, in that case be on call as we may try and do some late night action. We'll have all our shit on Tuesday because we're going back to Denver and staying at an extended stay by Shotgun Willies/Penthouse. We'll just cab it to the airport from there Wednesday....

Can you do this for less then $99.23???

I am sure Vertical Scope appreciates the loss of would be advertisers due to negative trolls. I see that most topics are left dormant for days. The activity on this sight is pretty low.

I did pay for a subscription and I do snowboard. I have also been on the internet since Prodigy 1.0 so make my day. :finger1:


Sure I will use this place for product knowledge. Thats about it! Maybe post a pic or two. :hairy:


Enjoy the fake snow

Typical response from someone that doesn't like it when they don't play by the rules and get called out. You clearly don't know shit about web traffic or analytics. Also if you paid attention to the advertising you would see it's almost 100% Google Ads.

How cute you're trying to back up your Internet knowledge by dropping an ancient Prodigy 1.0 reference. That's nice. Doesn't mean you're good at using it. Which you've clearly demonstrated here.
 
#23 ·
Enjoy seeing all those Best Buy Ads and filler.

A mature response to my postings is all that was needed. The behavior on this forum is horrible.

The same people on it all the time? why? and for what purpose?


o thats right nothing better to do! :happy:

You are clearly a fucktard. Nice way of taking a pot shot at the forum. Also as previously stated you don't know shit about this forum or even the Internet.

Honestly, I hope that the actual folks that see this understand what a troll is and does.

I am a good person and give much respect. It would be nice to grab a client off the forum but really I am good with how I do find my riders.

If you actually wanted to help me you could give me more positive info.

Like reps and groups or teams that may have interests.




I deal with professionals that love what they do. If it is a ride to the Kush Club then so be it.
I'm sure they understand what a spammer is and that it's not tolerated.

Oh more victim speech. Yeah I'm sure you're a fucking saint.

As mentioned you wouldn't be here if you didn't need us, we don't need you.

I'll be honest I know hundreds of reps/teams/snow people. But I refuse to ever send someone to an inferior business. You wanted to play big dick swinger, you lost.

It is all good I don't player hate. I play and participate!

I don't care who you are on this board. Those actions are piss poor.

If I did something to erk the tron gods may mercy be on my soul. :rules:
No you want to play by your rules on others ground. Your actions are what we, those that are part of this community deem piss poor.

This is suppose to be a welcome new members thread. I did not create an AD thread.

I mentioned I had a service, did not spam and never really got a chance to even offer up a discount for board members.

If I had the chance maybe among those interested we could have figured something out. You know like adults???
Well this is just a bold face lie. I better put my boots on cause the shit is getting deep.

To OP the way you are acting is a real turn off and you are not handling this in a professional manner. Is this how you deal with difficult situations? If that is case you are not doing your business any good.

I think it's best if you just stop and let this thread die. The more people see this thread, the more negative things will be associated with you and your business.

Beat me to it.

BA is no troll; the member discount was a well meant suggestion - often used by other suppliers here btw.

Your initial post made me suddently rethink transportation plans for the upcoming CO trip, I thought hey, maybe I should cancel the rental car and use that van instead, would solve the "don't drink n drive - but I like aprés!" dilemma.... but as the thread goes on... well... I use past tense consciously... :dunno:
To me, you come access bit arrogant and I, personally, don't like arrogant ppl, especially in the service sector. A potential customer can be won or lost within some sentences. So maybe you're not, maybe you are - doesn't matter if you are; you come across alike... (oh I know, you don't need me anyway as your business is doing well anyway! - See... this doesn’t make for a win). No pun intended, not judging, just saying.

BTW: You only see ppl who are logged in, you don't see the guests visiting the site. How many have the same feeling as l...?

Sure, nobody has ever heard glib, self-aggrandizing statements from a new company before. :facepalm3:

Why would anyone want to help you? You're an unknown entity represented (on this forum) by a guy displaying an attitude and maturity of a petulant high school sophomore.

I know CME well, I've been using them for years and have brought a lot of business to them in the past. They are not only the transportation company of personal choice for myself, my family and friends but also for my professional associates who utilize their logistics in organization of corporate events and trade shows in Denver/Summit area.

Even if there was a momentary consideration of giving you a benefit of the doubt on my part it's been long gone after watching how you handle yourself. No one I know would ever hire you, certainly not the people willing to pay for the services of a private carrier.

Readily admitting to potential clients that you don't need them "but it would be nice" for them to hook you up is a kiss of death in my book. In reality it's the other way around: you need us, we don't need you. Certainly not with the multitude of more attractive choices out there. But good luck scrounging Facebook for clients, that'll grow your business like nothing else.

Well... seems as if you got the point. BFT: chomps, deleting posts, for me, is a sign of reflection and insight, and a - tho very hidden - sorry I may was wrong. In that sense:

OP, :welcome: to the forum. Stay around and contribute (be it gear advice, travel reports, funny comments or pics of the nice snow you guys have right now while most of us are suffering from warm temps and lack of snow - which generally doesn't lighten the mood ;)) and you'll see, it's a nice place to hang around.

LoL …and that's exactly what we love about you!! :D :cheer: Always a very Warm, Very positive, upbeat, generous, kind and forgiving outlook! :wub: :cheer: :hairy:



You know,.. I was going to post some other stuff explaning my,… take on that whole deleting and post editing, but I think I'll just leave it be! No real need for me to be "Negative Nancy" right now! ;)


Kiddo,.. Seriously! Don't ever change! ;) :jumping1: :D


:hairy:

…just a heads up, If you want to actually remain and be accepted here as a contributing member? I might suggest posting that in a Brand new Thread. Leave this thread alone completely,.. to be forgotten and die of natural causes and neglect.

Just my 2₵

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!! YOU ARE SUCH A GODANM, WHINY, ASSHAT, FUCKTARD TOOL!!!

Seriously dude! You can't even recognize a helping hand when it's offered!

I was trying to do you a solid you STUPID fucking moron! By suggesting you let this thread die so people can forget about it! They could quit seeing and being reminded of what a TOOL you are, and you could have wiped the slate clean, started over and just start posting like a regular member!

There have been a few others here who started out just like you and who finally saw the light and were accepted as just another forum member.

But Nooooooooooo,.. Not you!! You're going to keep your ball and play with it the way YOU want! "I paid my money and I'm gonna do it my way!" Well then, don't expect we're gonna give a fuck when you cry about how mistreated you are.

I'll just bet your mommy used to complain to the other kids parents that their kids wouldn't play with you!!!

Fuck off then! I hope the membership is non refundable! Because, if You keep proving what a tool you are, no one is going to lighten up on you and you will eventually go "buhbye" :finger1:

So personally, I'm glad you won't be around to infect the boards here with your bullshit!
