Lost in the Wilderness

“Not to compete with TT, but I have a group of online backpacking friends who are uncomfortable with the rough and tumble TT, never like the format at the "other" site, so I've set up an ezboard to keep in touch with them till they find a home. This is the former Life on the Trail (affectionately known as LOTT), then OAN now homeless crowd. Nice people, several in CO, CA, AZ and scattered elsewhere.

Nothing fancy, but seems to work pretty well.

“hmmm...what do you mean uncomfortable with what? does that mean we can't visit your site? and if so...do we have to be NICE? 8-O”

“the rough and tumble TT???

lol”

“Hey, if it don't kill you it just makes you stronger :D”

“pansies!”

“hey I was the first to post on his ezboard, does that make me a pansy?”

“They'll just have to consider ya'll my family. ;-)

Several that I "met" in that crowd come here. Shawn, Tilt, Sticks, maryphyll, AmyG, snownymph... Know I am missing some.

“Gem, if I remember correctly, I led you to this campfire. You can trust me, right?”

“Has a chat function, too.”

“does it really? OOO I am going to talk tomyself!”

“lol, yeah u did lead me to this campfire. Hmmm, CAN I trust you? I got to think about that one.”

“I was wondering whatever happened to OAN - CIndyLu invited me over there a long time ago - nice place - too nice - give me someplace where I can insult the heck out of someone and they don't get overly offended.”

“My first forum trip was with the OAN folks. Thanks, Deborah! We hiked in the Collegiate Peaks. It was great. The OAN folks are fine people.”

“I'm there. LOTT was my first hiking forum experience too. I'm out of town for a few days, will check back later.”

“OAN was a nice place (although it never caught my interest).

I've met a few people now who've told me that TT has too much nastiness, that they'll read, but they'd never post here.”

“define nastiness........”

“Insults and other personal attacks.”

“nudity and swearing. =(8-0

some people blush and others are at work.”

“Pottymouth! Where are you when I need you. Test my board will ya!”

“if your squeemish pu$$y#&%!$ wannabees can't take it on this board and are so sensitive to the goings on here, then I say good riddance that they are elsewhere. LOL...

I crak myself up and am fully enthralled with my lack of sensitivity and compassion. hahaha...I'm glad I'm not really like that otherwise I'd have to go to another board too.”

“I found TT when AmyG posted a naughty poem she got here on OAN. Spent more time here ever since.”

“TT has more trips. That's why I got hooked here.”

“There is the ignore feature.......& I don't bother reading fuego....there is quite an assortment of folks on here......I have my favs......some I take with a grain of salt.....I come here for info....companionship.....and fun!!!...I laugh...I cry.....and have even been offended.......BUT.....this place is like "home"”
