Everyone was on the Powder Magazine boards before here (although some were already here too) and most had been for several years. Then a giant toss-pot from Primedia (Powder's owners), I think by the name of Daniel, started moderating the forums which were previously maggot-vigilante patrolled with massive smackdowns dished out to idiots. He deleted a goldmine of several years worth of threads and banned anyone who questioned those actions on the forum. Within a couple of days powdermag.com was empty and everyone who wasn't already here migrated. That was in October 2003.

Read young jedi. http://forum.powdermag.com/forum/sho...page=0#Post513. Learn from it, you will. From the dark side, comes the moderator.

Well, that was kind of interesting... I was always wondering why those forums were so dead. Also interesting is that if you check the user's list there, Daniel isn't on there. Kind of too bad for Metcalf that the forum blew up but good for TGR. Such is life in a competitive world. Your customers will tell you what you need to do to thrive. If you listen to them and act on what they tell you, you generally do alright. TGR's done a good job of that with this board.

I think it would be going a bit far to say that TGR was competing for our business. Hell, this must be a serious loss maker for them (think of the bandwidth charges!) They're truly doing this for altruistic reasons!
edgDo you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?

I love Ak_pm's post on the first page - you have to assume within 10 minutes of finding TGR, he already had like 2000 "look at my f'ed up pictures" and "I almost got killed in an avalanche" posts...

There are still some messages available via www.archive.org.
Example from sometime in 2001: http://web.archive.org/web/200106041...i?action=intro
