Where are we going after this place goes down?

[Hacksaw]

Teletips or Mountainbuzz would be my choices.....

[sledneckripper]

Can I ask shad if he knows you?

I got good n' drunk with his dad not too long ago.

You know his dad is gay, right?
























JK. Yeah, go ahead and drop my name. I've ridden with him a few times.

Mr Free is one stone cold Hombre.

My wife is their accountant.

How uncharacteristically verbose, ogre. is this like the epside of family matters when steve urkel becomes Stephan Urhcale?

Urkel reference means you have to give back the MBA. Sorry.

Hi Sledneckripper! I would like to formally invite all the "maggots" to come join our fun-loving community. I think most all of you will find that our seasoned moderators "keep the bar high" by maintaining a sense of order and decorum, while encouraging quality discussion about our favorite pastime. It may take a small amount of getting used to, as we do have reasonable standards as far as language and image posting that are strictly enforced. The registration is easy and painless, and the rules will be explained in detail during the process. Come join the fun!

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

^^one of my favorite alia...always shows up with good timing..and the 'voice' is so consistent. Force is strong with this one.^^

[GBB]

^^^Haha I was waiting for that one.

Edit: Damn it Tyrone beat me to it.

Thanks for the personal invite! Is David Witherspoon and smitchell4567898 a part of your site, because dorks like them would surely fit in just perfectly. Do you have a forum for snomobiling?

STFU SPAMMER

[edit: added] damn you guys are fast! above for alpinespammer.com

Seriously, Epic NEEDS to loosen up a lot and maggots are just the looseners for the job.

But this place won't shut down.

hope you're right about not shutting down, and have fingers crossed.

Epic (or any other moderated site) wouldn't work. TGR's community has come together differently precisely because of the lack of moderation.

Sound of jet engines and tracer fire roaring over Sledneck's head....


WHOOOSH!!!

Is this an alias?

We're already working on a Wiki for Maggots (an encyclopedia for TRs, ski resorts, ski gear, whatever; Wikipedia for Maggots). Wasn't planning on making that public yet, but this is as good a time as any.

good luck with that.. here is some code to help you and your web harvesting process. ha!

#!/usr/bin/perl

use HTML::TreeBuilder 3;
use LWP 5.64;
use LWP::Simple;

threads = (
'85832',
'85054',
'84434',
'69344',
'68824',
'67748'
);

my browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
binmode STDOUT;

foreach (threads) {
cursite = _;

my url = "http://tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=cursite";

my response = browser->get(url);

die "error on url -- ", response->status_line unless response->is_success;
die "error expecting HTML", response->content_type
unless response->content_type eq 'text/html';


my tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new( );
tree->parse_content(response->content) || die $!;

outfile = "/srv/www/htdocs/TGR/out/cursite.html";

open(OUTFILE, ">outfile");

(root, docbase) = (tree, 'http://teteongravity.com/forums/');

foreach my div (root->find_by_tag_name('div')) {
  next unless grep ref(_) && _->tag eq 'br', div->content_list;
  text_content = div->as_HTML;
  print OUTFILE text_content;

}
  close(OUTFILE);


tree->delete( );


}

and then to get the threadid's:

cat tgr_save_searchpage1.html | grep "thread_title_" | awk -F"\"" {'print $4'} | awk -F"_" {'print $3'}

I suggest Powderbuzz.com if we have to leave. Mountainbuzz.com is similar to this place in attitude also, but their ski forums have never really taken off.

[summit]

If we have to go, we should go where we are welcome and where we are gauranteed a free maggot environment. I'm not sure we'd mesh well wit hthe TTipsters. Mountainbuzz, I don't know... are they a free for all forum?

I think we should first ask KD about returning to Powder if they want us and will honor their "No more Daniel Incidents" promise.

Otherwise, if jonpierre can really handle the bandwidth, why not go with him?

[summit]

I think that is a good thing... a small place with a like mind that we can make our own... if their admin will accept us.

Again of course, only if it is necessary.

[JoshP]

True, very true. Sleds have their place and hippies have their place. It just gets ugly sometimes when the two collide (literally).

Dude, enough already, we all know you love fucking snowmobiles and hate fucking hippies. Step away from the keyboard for a bit. You are like a damn parrot:

[Parrot] RRRRRAAAAAUUGHHHHHHHH Snowmobiles are cool, hippies suck, Polly wants some two stroke oil. RRRRRAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH" [/parrot]

An now I am going back to Sprocket Rockets for the summer. I will see you all next October. Really hoping it is here.

[Twoplanker]

I had posted a link to a forum at PMGEAR.com but then... thought better of it. It felt ungrateful and creepy. But I don't want to see this community move to some moderated forum.

We'd be happy to host it, no moderation. If that's something people are interested in, please let me know.

[lax]

what the fuck is going on? it's summer. chill.

edit: oops.

[mtbakerskier]

Hypothetically speaking what if the ski journal built a dedicated forum just for this community? I wouldnt want to take away from TGR so im thinking only if something happend to this site.

[Huckwheat]

Wow....bummer.....what happens to the history, is it gone?

This place has become a serious memory book.....I dont want to lose my TRs, or a bunch of other TRs and picts that I often look at.

[Stone-Free]

IF we get chucked, my vote is for mountainbuzz. Its pretty much a paddlers and bikers forum, but the attitude is real similar to here and I dont think its moderated too much, if at all.

Get the message board up and running, Brett!

If the Ski Journal or PM gear hosted a forum that would be exceptional, but we can also look into options of creating our own forum through ezboard.

Well, I think that we maybe interested in it if the general concesious here was as well. But like I said it is all hypothetical at this point.
