The 24 Hour GSS Bitch Fest Thread

[deadheadskier]

WOW is this like rumspringa?

I don't know what you mean by that, but I have thought on more than a few occasions that this topic would take off on Jerry Springer

I'm wearing green right now in solidarity to the cause, well actually it's a coincidence. I was already wearing this shirt when I saw DMC's video BUT:
FREE GSS!

GSS posted he does not want to come back anyway. Time changes and heals all IMO. Revisit in a year of so. DMC we need more video garp from you. The great part is your mannerisms come out in videos. Not as much acting as one would think. I had some good laughs. Thankx.

After all this time, I would think that people would know a rouse from GSS when they see one!

Well its the 2nd time he has posted that. You are right though:idea:. I, unlike you will be glad to see these threads go. Nothing really against GSS. Time to get into the ski mode. This issue had been beaten to death. best thing out these are the vids.

The vids did have me bursting out in laughter even without any blueberry wheat beer!

just took a peak over there
whoa- that boys hotter then the hinges of hell


well time wounds all heals i suppose

:-D

I just scanned the thread. I came up with 28 posters in the thread, and more comments about the vids than GSS. Maybe snoseek is right.

I see an Oscar in your future...been laughing my ass off!

Okay, my $.02;

love 'em, hate 'em or somewhere in the middle, I think its BS that you're going to censor any and all future GSS related forums. This is a community forum,without all of the people on here posting and being involved this place wouldn't exist...it would just be Greg and a few of his buddies sending each other emails about seeded bumps. It takes a village...and we're all village people here, newbies, 5k count posters, mods, sundowners, snowboarders, bumpers, stoners, moms, dads, gapers and rippers.

Here's something quite a few members of the community obviously want to continue to talk about but you've threatened...no, promised, to put a stop to it. You've decided to ignore certain members of the community whose opinion you disagree with...and even worse than just ignoring it, you're BANNING us from talking about it.

The story is GSS broke the rules for a long time and flaunted it, got warning after warning, etc...he did not respect your authority (someone please dig up the cartman video). So, okay, I can get it, may not agree with it..but I can understand it...rules are rules...can't speed, don't walk your dog on the beach, no skateboarding on sidewalks, etc...if we didn't follow these types of rules it would be anarchy. But what rule are you enforcing by banning the entire community from talking about GSS? Did I miss this one in the forum rules? I get locking threads where people get nasty or hostile towards each other...but banning an entire topic because you don't like it...seems pretty paranoid and petty.

So, DMC, its time for another video...its not just GSS that needs to be freed, its the entire AZ community. This isn't China...its not Russia, Iran, or North Korea,,,its the freaking chatweb, its the AZ in the good ole US of A...FREE THE AZ :flag: POWDER TO THE PEOPLE

Well put. Banning someone for breaking forum rules is one thing, but arbitrarily banning a topic for discussion simply because you don't like it is another. Sad.

And why the hell can't you people sick of discussing this allow your mouse to pass over the thread? Seems so simple, yet for many of you apparently impossible.

If I had to do it on a PC it not have been done... MAC makes it easy...

I'll be the first to admit I'm a hypocrite..
But you know... a lame +1 doesn't keep me from viewing AZ like a HiRes image... So I stand by my statement.. For real... there's a difference..

Back to that one. Wow, old news. On my AZ mobile, you have to open the image to view it. So, thake your own advice and don't click or touch it to open it.

I'm with HPD on this one.

I didn't read the 'nail in the coffin' comment(s), so I can't say in the end (and it isn't my forum to say, anyway)... But I will say, there has been plenty of thinly veiled (and some not so) political talk on here that has never resulted in the ban hammer being wielded before... So I can certainly see how some would say that the mods were looking for an excuse to ban him...

In the end, this place meant a lot to the Steeze, and whether you want to admit it or not, he added plenty of value (read: Impressions) to this site... He is/was responsible for MANY page views (both his directly and those generated by his posts indirectly), and him going away will no doubt have an effect on the bottom line of the site.

He may have been a little out of line at times, but I found most of his posts passionate, amusing, and sometimes even informative (I never had a desire to ski blue mountain, and for the most part still don't, but I know that if I ever do, I shouldn't speed on Paradise).

Like it or not, this is a different place without GSS. It's quieter...

I'm disappointed that we won't have any couch jibbing videos this early season, or a TR about a hill on the side of the road... threads like that showed Steeze's passion for the sport, a passion which found a home on this forum, and in some ways helped this forum blossom.

My entire time on AZ has been spent with him around (I joined about the same time he did) so I can't comment on life 'pre-GSS', but his character, devotion and voice is one of the reasons I kept coming back to this site.

I'd love to see him back, but it's Greg's atomic hammer to wield as he sees fit.

GSS or no GSS, I'll probably still be around, but I probably won't be refreshing as much, as I won't be trying to keep up with the Steezyness like I have been in the past.

FREE GSS!

Thanks for reading my rant.

And for cripes sake, let it snow soon so this board can return to normal!

I agree with this 100%! Sad to see the site losing it's most entertaining member, as well as it's largest contributor. And not just useless or funny posts, but quality ski content.

Just as sad is what he was banned for. Technicaly he may have be banned for breaking forum rules, but I still suspect it was mostly due to a very vocal minority of members ( and perhaps a couple mods) that constantly complained. Clearly the majority of people here support GSS.

Almost more sad than the banning itself is the censorship of this topic going forward. Why a single thread couldn't be kept alive is beyond me. Clearly the tone of moderation on this site is changing and only time will tell how that works out.

Yo.... Genius... First of all it was a MODERATOR that brought it up...
AND...
How the F am I supposed to know a HiRes image is lurking in the thread?

 

[Vortex]

Seems like the minority are the ones complaining.

Just post after post.

Other sites do have polices about commenting on Banned posters and how they treat moderators. You may not agree, but nothing new.

Really glad I don't care.

DMC that was freeking funny. The sundown tie in really made light out of soemthing personal to some. Still laughing, and my office wants to know why. hard one to explain.

You guys need to go spend some quality time together at Sundown, have a beer, and make-up.

Love the Sundown backdrop! Well-played. I agree. You should continue these after the Free GSS crusade is over.
