BACKPACKER.COM SUCKS

“size matters, lizs.”

“Hmmmmmmmmmmm...”

“Nowslimmergirl. Hmmm.”

“I had to add a number to my name, but at least I now have a kewl avatar thanks to walkindude.
I used the crazed knife guy from South Park.”

“Sigh.....here is what happened to me:

Email? What email? Hah! I had to go the forum site, and ask for a "lost password" for that email..and yep, it pops up as a troll name I used oh, 2 years ago! I have been Sarbar there since 2001. I ask bp2go what's up. He says that someone came in June and applied for "Sarbar" (spelled with a capital S"). WTF?? So he tells me will fix it. He does. So I get my name back, but all my 15,000+ posts? They are all under "anyomous" now. And is that going to be fixed? Not likely! So yeah, I get to be sarbar still, but I might as well as just set up a new account with a new name :-(
At least with the new software people cannot take same names but with different spellings.

Sigh :-(

Oh yeah, and they are dumping the bp.com email on August 1st. Saw that this morning. Jerkwads. I got to spend my morning moving a crapload of email out of there to my other address.”

“I had a bunch of posts go anonymous, too. Oh well, big whoop. There are much larger things in the whole world to worry about.

(and sarbar?? You are posting too much there, that is what that tells you, LOL! ;-P j/k!)

well, I am back to a FULL-SIZE AVATAR... woo hoo! I mean, since size DOES MATTER!

The private message feature over there is nice, sheeyat, who needs MY SPACE.COM????? hehehee

(I guess I am just evil today)”

“I do not have any private messages.
Dang lizsbaby!”

“What's your name "over there""

And you'll HAVE ONE!

Pathie and I are PMing. hehehehe”

“Real origial one: StoveStomper1
LOL”

“backpacker.com email is going ? Double Jerkwads.”

“Those who didn't get an email, be patient. I just got mine.

I signed back on yesterday. It took me a bit to remember which email I used 4/5 years ago...Hell, I can't remember this morning.”

“i can post from the spokane hot zone on my palm with tt, but not the other site”

“BACKPACKER.COM is way better than this site for Lightweight Backpacking gear discussion.”

“nigals gonna get you for that statement, stove. dont you know, backpacker magazine is run by evil nazis?”

“as opposed to the nice ones?”

“This site seems more backpacking oriented.

bp2go is a nice guy. He's responsive and does a good job.

What blows me away is how poor the software is, but most forums used canned software where the employees of the owner don't have access to the code to make huge changes.

Frankly, this software is okay, but not great. The posting tool is really elementary when you compare it to what's out there, but the content here is solid.”

“I finally got my notice, saying I had several "accounts" ;) and that when I signed in my most recent "account" name would be used. but when I signed in it used one of my old troll names.

:D”

“The other site has never appreciated trolls. We embrace trolls here. Heck, we are trolls.”
