The thing is, this place used to be full of the good type of debauchery. People who want to live fast and ski fast. There was a lot of hate between mags and towards JONGs but it was generally all in good fun, and it was more like a family. Some of the older threads were some of the funniest things I’ve ever read. Now the tone has become much darker and has many more undertones of racism and misogyny. Hell I think that some of the most prolific posters on here don’t even ski!
People talk about how great this place was without noticing how drastically it’s changed.

It has always changed, so what? People were quitting this place in 2003 because it wasn't like the old days. Hell some people quit powmag before 2000 for the same reason. Yet here we are. It'll be okay.
I have no issue with putting annoying fucks on timeout and/or ban. When your only real goal is to stir shit up and you're not actually in a discussion because no matter what happens you're still just gonna shit up, then hey, couple warnings and then fuck you, bye.

You didn't understand what I wrote.
I'm not offended by any of it. What I don't like is the recent very aggressive response by some juvenile frat boy males towards a woman who dared have a [relentless] opinion. I didn't know that hate was there behind all that porn posting. Or never paid enough attention to know. Now I see it, I'll call it for what I see: another small stitch in our culture of demeaning great women in this world, and excluding them. If these cavemen thrive here on TGR, then that is bad for some random female somewhere else in their path. And I don't like that. If I now keep coming back, then yeah, you could argue your point.
To answer your questions - I'm here for the only English speaking international skiers online community there is. I'm a skier. It is almost all I do, all year round. Not just the weekends. I like many of the skiers here. I like talking skis and skiing with them. I like tech talk. I like knowing that they dig it too. Where else is a skier gunna go to kill time?
No one was ever going to take porn or the Ullr thread away. But then the the frat boys went into classic TGR self-destruct mode and they revealed who they really were. They didn't ski the spaces between the trees. They stared at the trees. And they will now probably come really fucking close to hitting a tree. Fools usually get what they fear most.Life is not lift served.

The timeout is bullshit. Pure, fucking bullshit. All the truly disturbed shit that people have posted here over the years, and TGR boots someone over what amounts to a difference in opinion (and tactics) on socio-political issues.
The denizens of this asylum couldn't self-police, so you invited in some policing (and who the fuck invites the cops into their house). Sure, Danno and mbillie and the rest are not jack-booted thugs, not yet. But this time it was mtngrl because she was too strident. How many of you have been just as strident over some dumbass thread in the past? This time, the mods decided mtngrl was harshing our mellow and had to take a timeout. Next time it'll be one of you (or me), who is deemed not quite cool enough, and not contributing enough to the overall vibe, who needs to take a walk.
The fight for the padded room is over, and the "authorities" have won. The authorities y'all created, empowered, demanded. Make no mistake, Maggots: you have just shit where you eat.
But hey, that's just like, my opinion, man."Judge me by the enemies I have made." -FDR

The Fight for the Padded Room
fwiw mods cannot timeout anyone, that came from up the food chain. and THAT had to do with the numerous 10+ page threads in numerous forums pompously bloviating about this issue. I appreciate not being a jackbooted thug though. at least we aren’t letting hyperbole get the best of us.

some of you, on both sides, are acting like the TGR schutzstaffel is going to kick your doors in tonight and cut your cocks off. take a few breaths, shut the computer off for a couple hours, take a walk...

Well, then, I apologize for stating it was the mods who imposed the timeout. It sounds instead like we've handed authority to a group of nameless, faceless apparatchik, ruling us from their secret offices overlooking Mokhovaya Street.

If I understood you correctly... I'm not calling mtngirl a great woman. I dig her tenacity. The 'great women' are the many out there, everywhere. They get shit on by certain kinds of men too often. Suddenly those men starting having a pretty fucking nasty voice here.
This sounds like what I am thinking:
And who fuck is Jimmy?Life is not lift served.

do you not feel though, if it's within our own powers to do something about said ass hole we should?
the photo I believe all this relates to, is the photo of a smoking hot brunette, whom it would appear has no knowallage of a photo being taken of her, getting dressed with her droppers still out.
if it was your daughter in these photos(all the lads at work getting hold if them, sons hockey team mates getting hold of them) you'd be round his house having it out with him on the front lawn.

And as I’m the one that, right or wrong, made the call I think your opinion is fucking bullshit.
I cannot remember any time when a single poster spewed the same opinion at such an overwhelming level. And started another thread just to, again, spew her identical point of view, and reply with the same to every post that anyone put up that in any way questioned her opinion.
She alone kept the threads at the top for days. If the discussion had ever had any shades of reasonable discussion instead of her proclamations that she and only she is right it wouldn’t have been that big of a deal.
Do you any fucking clue on her history here?
And honestly, it seemed like it would be good for her to give that focused anger a break from the keyboard. And it’s not a ban.
You ever moderate a large forum Pio? Fuck you and your insults to those that are giving their best efforts as unpaid volunteers.Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

As Danno stated, we should count ourselves lucky this is here for free. And I appreciate our moderators.
I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

The Fight for the Padded Room
^ yeah take a lap pio. nobody enjoys making these decisions, nobody on the mod team has an agenda beyond “I hope there’s not some insane bullshit that requires intervention,” nobody likes being blamed equally, and loudly, for ANY action OR inaction from a supposedly adult and self-sufficient forum that they primarily experience as an equal participant.
and although I’m sure you think you’re being very clever, you gotta be a lot funnier to make your little Godwin’s law shit humorous.
