New Mamba - Snowboarding Forum

dc-rida-4-life7 · 06-21-2011, 10:03 AM

Just thought Id make an intro thread.

its DC from chicago. Yea i know not the best of spots but ive been snowboarding since around 10 yrs old. Been to Breck/Canyons out west, go up north and what not.

Transfered here bc my other site is on the down swing. I enjoy chipotle burritos and golf in the summer.

Ride a stepchild powder sucks and a forum youngblood. look forward to keep the motovation to shred alive in the summer time on here.

Welcome! Curious as to what site you migrated from.

dc-rida-4-life7 · 06-22-2011, 08:27 AM

it was snowboardaddicts.com, spam starting taking over and site none of our mods really check the site enough to control it, its been getting out of hand.

i will say i think this site could get some tips on how to be better set up if it looked at SBA. like a shoutbox (live chat with online members), looks like its already got embedded vids/pics,. easier access to the forum list of topics.

Yeah, I've noticed that SA has dropped off. I haven't found the forum list there to be all that great, but it is a much more polished site for sure. No real bells and whistles here just a simple forum. The main thing is we have great support. It's rare that this site goes down for more than a few minutes. If it does it's usually a planned maintenance, server migration, something that we get a heads up on a good deal in advanced. If VS ever decides to do a big upgrade to the format I'm sure we'll have a lot of say as to how it'll look.

Yea I agree. I just think its a matter of getting used to as well. It just stinks that this isn't just a snowboard only run site meaning VS runs many other sport forums so to get specific attention I'm sure is a little more difficult then if we had direct contract with the admin but o well. Looking forward to sharing some cool thoughts with some cool people.

Actually VS has been very willing to do what they can for us. This site was nothing before the sb.com migration. Now we are one of their busiest sites. They've given me and the rest of the mod staff the keys and leave us alone. It's been pretty sweet actually. Great support, no hassle. I can't complain. At some point we may push for various changes, but overall it's a pretty good gig we got going on here.

haha chipotle burritos are one of my greatest weaknesses. I only wish they delivered! Actually, no, I don't. That could get me into trouble for sure...
