I was here a couple months before GSS arrived...right in the middle of the Snowman reign of terror...didn't seem all that different in those 2 months before GSS arrived than it did after.

As for the whole "you don't know what it was like before" line that keeps coming up, its getting tired...we're here now and we're part of the community...what felt like an open and inviting community, but the more you "old timers" toss around your length of tenure and the whole "you haven't been here long enough" bs, the less inviting a place this is to new comers and the less likely they will be to stay and post.

Well put.

I have been mostly silent about all of this.

There was nothing specific about the departed I would hold against him...I don't know him and can only go by what he posted. It was obvious he was passionate about skiing. I liked that. He also spent alot of time online here and elsewhere which is also fine.

The sheer volume of his posts was a bit overwhelming, but easily ignored.

And like everyone else in here, he had his asshole moments.

I still don't really know why he wanted to be a moderator so much. I guess it was a status thing for him.

It's three days later. Can we let this crap die? It is what it is. The sun will still rise in the east and set in the west. Life goes on kids.

I get the dead horse thing but it's funnier seeing a printer get beat up.

This whole topic is useless > Look if u want to leave leave < I f u want to stay stay. but no ONE individual is the determinant factor of that decision but yourself .

It's time to man/woman up make YOUR decision one way or the other and shut up and ski as one of our member"s says in his sig line .

I hope you stay, but if you can't abide the decision by board mgmt then sayonnara baby!! it 's been nice and its been real -- C'YA

I thought about this too . . . I just don't have the personality to post 20-50 times in one thread about random stuff. In fact, I don't have his personality at all. First of all, I don't think people care about what I have to say on many topics (who cares what I'm eating for dinner?). He not only invented those multi-page threads, he (sometimes single-handedly) kept them alive. Also, his hip hop knowledge was pretty good for a 30 year old white guy, and a welcome change in musical tastes for a board of people who listen to classic rock and jam bands. Finally, nobody (and I mean NOBODY) practices Smart Style like the Steeze.

While the only hip-hop I really know is early 90's gansta rap my favorite music is heavy metal and hard rock from the late 1960's through today, so that sets me apart I guess.

It's been mentioned before but those who so badly need a GSS fix can find him at PASkiandride, Epic, and noshitzone. Feel free...

Doesn't matter what the poll said. Greg and the mods decided to ban him. End of story.

I think the counter to that argument is, there are plenty of other threads, so feel free to stop reading this one.

Back to the point, however, I think anyone who IS revved up about this subject REALLY needs to read the thread http://forums.alpinezone.com/62955-lock-happy.html#post459786 from that post on. The mods did the best job at explaining why there, and the reason why had not much to do with one specific unwitty remark.
