The NNN/BC Truth Thread

[bgregoire]

How come every thread gets spammed with you looking for boots to buy?

True dat, you hit my soft spot. Still looking for the PERFECT leather. Is it out there you think?

Now back to the NNN/BC Truth Thread....

Yeah, NNN/BC, the hype, its a little overrated. There are better options out there for xcD IMO.

Pins!!!!! Anyway, we go through water on occasion and have had NO problem with pins having problems...We may have problems but.....Never have had a problem with pins disintegrating......Still use some from decades ago...And all the boots mentioned on this thread....are they all nnn or are some pinnable?....TM.

...And all the boots mentioned on this thread....are they all nnn or are some pinnable?....TM.

As of late, the discussion has mostly been about pinners.

Well yes... this old thread was started by our friend Ron to inform everyone about THE TRUTH of NNN-BC. Seen as how it is mostly a bunch of bullshit and squabbling for the first 40 pages, a couple of us decided to resurrect based on actual usage of NNN-BC for XCD. You know, propagate the hype

I think it needs a music video now, because all that it seems to be is about pins and boots.

these tele websites seem to be a bit like "Survivor"….someone keeps getting voted off the island! Pretty soon you're looking around wondering who the next one will be! I wonder if eventually there will no one left. Or maybe one person left posting? seems like we're halfway there now?

There was only ONE single member ever voted off this forum. And he had a million chances before this happened.

And that was only because I received several complaints from several honorable members. (We lost some very nice members by letting the guy to stay here. I should have kicked him out from the beginning, my bad... I was too kind and too open minded I guess... Read: too naive...)

And also because he is the very reason why the old forum and all the knowledge database was destroyed. And that itself is unacceptable. And also because he was a hater, a selfish angry madman, a true sick fuck, a complete ignorant retard, and mostly because he totally lacked respect towards other members and opinions that wasn't his own.

Neither me or Mike are making the rules here... It's YOUR forum... You do what you wanna do with it. It's yours. I just execute what you want me to do...

Peace, Pins and NNN

WTF are you talking about?

Please dude, don't make up shit like that... it seriously hurts my feelings. One person EVER was voted off/banned from this forum (every other was a reincarnation of that person and wasn't removed without a decent amount of data) and for very good reason. I suggest you actually read this thread from start to finish.

This individual has done this since the original Telemark Tips when Mitch ousted him just as it happens now. He's so sick he still continues to this day.

As far as what this place is or isn't, keep an open mind. I only ever did two things from my start of coming here:

1 - try to make it as little as possible like the other two tele forums (you know which two I'm talking about) and this is before I was a mod

2 - keep it place where people could share ideas and opinions without being bashed. I tolerate a lot of snark and give out plenty of my own. If you whine, complain, take repeated shots at someone or me... I'll probably say something, so don't be surprised. If you don't like it, think about what you say before you post it. I'm not shy, trust me and ask anyone. I've never backed down from anything in my life, and if you think it's going to be someone on a silly forum, you're wrong.

As far as 2 - if you keep saying the same thing with no credibility, I won't protect you... you're on your own. Form your opinions and defend your ideas with data, no bullying or simply saying the same stupid thing over and over.

I've posted a lot here to help stimulate conversation and keep this place from being stale like another place. I don't promote the personal attacks and political debate because there is already a place to do that if you like.

I do tolerate a lot of humor and OT posts because if any one forum was purely about skiing, it would be as boring as watching paint dry.

Canna might be wrong about the way it works out, but its pretty noticeable that fewer and fewer are posting consistently here. 2 xtra hypotheses:

- winter is over

- people "ban" themselves: give up, bore or frustrate themselves, or whatever, and leave.

That 2nd hypothes at least, should be addressed at some point if we'd ever like to get this place as active and exciting as it ever was..or could be.

Wow. Who got "voted off the island"? If you want to have a 'conversation' with a sociopathic moron, I'm pretty sure the all-star tele skier ron would take care of your needs over at his tumbleweed forum of hate and ignorance. Take that racist TM with you. I'm just glad that LJ finally pulled the trigger and did not let him wreak this forum like he did the previous version.

People always post less this time of year and fight more. It's very common. We could look at the data from last year at this time and see.
