Has TGR changed *a lot* then? Long time since I used it - but I used to put on a hard hat before I logged in.

Jeez, I thought I was the only one who couldn't handle the girly group hug thing! (though I can't claim it's "cultural" issue since I AM American. I just can't stand it)

Epic has a dedicated political talk section. But only paid members have access.

It's hard to be nice to somebody who gets to ski quite as much.

I can't understand what people are saying on TGR. Stuff about maggots.

Yeah it's predominantly a carp fishing forum now but with a bias towards fat fishing rods and naked pictures of your sister

Can't be.
Those 2 have some style (albeit no substance).
This one is just a troll.

Just cos they're easy doesn't mean they don't like it.

The skiing Internet hasn't been the same since JWAZ was shut down. Thankfully some of the residents put up camp here and actually turned out to be decent humans.
The jury is still out on me but I do occasionally try.
Epic will be missed but will turn up again in some shape or form

in case nobody found out the reason (i didn't see a link skimming through this thread)
epicski owned by MNC (vail resorts) the platrofm it is hosted on (Huddler) is being closed down by its owners (wikiie (sp)) adn MNC decised it was not worth the cost of migrating the site to another platform
nice of them to tell the moderators before the masses eh

JWAZ, Epic, Ifyouski & (I think...?) Natives forums have all gone tits up. SCGB site's chat section is dead but stubbornly refuses to be decently buried.
sH will be up for a long service award soon !!
Thanks to Admin for keeping it simple and to the Mods for their lightness of touch. Long may sH flourish. An influx of newbies wouldn't go amiss - shame Epic's closure is happening at the end of the northern hemisphere ski season. Gets a bit quiet here in the summer - unless you're into politics!!!

@Davina Goldballs, im mostly amazed at how the 'journalist' chose to end 8 paragraphs with 'the suit says'. There are 5 year olds that would write that article better.

There doesn't seem to be any fault with the journalism at all. It references court-submitted documentation from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd paragraphs onwards - not the 8th paragraph.
It's a story about a medical practitioner - someone who obviously has to act professionally to high ethical standards - who has allegedly "pissed away $2 million in funds".
It's a revelation (if true - and that's for the court to decide) that ski lessons are not always funded in ways one might expect.
The reporter says that the alleged 'pis[[][/i]ser of funds' was invited to comment but "was unavailable to comment because he was seeing patients." If this one goes to trial we shall see how it pans out.
SnoodlesMcFlude - My advice to you, young sir/madam, is 'not to piss your life away by writing pointless posts to internet forums'.
And it's probable that Julia Marsh - author of this piece for the New York Post - is paid professionally to generate scoops of this quality.
The tedious and oft-expressed cynicism toward journalism that we've seen expressed on snowHeads over the years - usually unjustified - has to be squared against the general level of tripe, cackle, trolling and dross that infests this - and other - comment media on the internet.
In my experience, comment is most trustworthy when it carries a real name - maybe Julia Marsh is an example - rather than some anonymous clown using a terribly witty pseudonym.
Yours sincerely
David Goldsmith
