Epicski dead all content to disappear

[Tin]

i thought greg was the promoter? His promotional posts over on tgr are legendary.

looooooooooooooooooool

Why does one preclude the other?

If all forums have to fix all their usability issues "first" before everything else, there wouldn't be any forums at all!

Where would you go to post your snarky remarks?

I'm on here a lot and can tell you that I receive Zero (0) notifications when threads I'm following are commented in, when new threads are started and when I am quoted. It is extremely annoying to have a non-functional app that clearly would work if it was updated by the ever absence administrator

Just gotta read all content all the time! I agree it is a little frustrating though.

I just use the desktop version even when on my phone. No issues there.

I had my share of the grips with the forum. I post trip report that has photos sideways and upside down, even though the picture was right side up on my phone. Other issues too.

But other forums had their share of glitches too. No forum is function correctly all the time. And the moment one bug got worked out, another new one creep in!

I'm not saying it's not a problem. What I'm saying is there's a fine line between tinkering with the software, breaking it from time to time, vs never touching it. And whether one like it or not, the forum is 1st and for most a place for people to write to each other. So as long as THAT happens, it's a "usable" forum. Whatever other functions and features, are just gravy.

HA! That's going back.

Anyone ever hear from Greg? He used to post here every so often.

That is one of the issues that is easiest to fix. With most forum software it should just work out of the box.

Greg had a welcome post in the RIP thread on epic....it was up for 5 minutes and taken down. There are comments about it that still remain last time I checked but the post is down and nobody quoted/copied it.

I expect it was moderated?

One can only hope that AZ sees a bump in membership as a result of this.

Wow that's going back a ways.

Spoke with him at K in the Spring about 2 years ago.

I have been trying all day to find a workable solution to automatically downloading the images from the EpicSki articles. Nothing has worked. I really thought the WordPress site with an appropriate plugin would do the job, but for whatever reason it has failed. It could be that the image sources are linked in a way that redirects through a CDN. I'm running out of ideas. Three days notice in the middleo of the week ultimately may not be enough to come up with a functional solution.

 

[snoseek]

WHY the hell are they doing this with a less than one week notice? More time and guys like Yeggous can maybe find a way to retrieve the info right?

I just did an old school sweep copy of my profile page and emailed it to myself. Good enough and I signed off for what appears to be the last time unless a last minute/second save of the forums can be pulled off.

Kudos to HS for the above list post.

I hope you folks get your data off Epic before it shutters...

See ya all in November

The short notice is extremely confusing. More time and a retrieval method would absolutely be found.

The tinfoil hate crowd would say it is because they don't want me preserving the content. I just don't have enough time to roll my scripts to archive the articles I want. With a full time job and three days notice there just isn't time to solve this problem. The text data is easy. Getting the images with them and reposting it all to another server is another problem altogether.

You just have to do make a bot to go through the entire website and PDF print EVERYTHING.

I saw some discussion in the closing thread about potentially copyrighted data. There will be many conspiracy theorists out there, but Vail just does not care and the higher ups at Vail are probably not even aware of this.

 

[Highway Star]

Whose email needs to be pummeled to get Vail to save epicski.....?



Vail, in theory, likes to not alienate their customer base.



Time to drop an internet firestorm.

There are quite a few people on the closing thread at Vail who are saying they will never visit a Vail Resort because of this. One was even actively changing plans to go to Whistler because of this.

Does that really make that big of a difference though? I do not know.
