Where's the focus

“Granted I am new to this site and when I first found it I was excited to find what appeared to be a place I would want to frequent. BUT! for the life of me I do not understand how "PORN TALK can be classified as being under GENERAL BACKPAKING / OUTDOORS. In fact I don't see it fitting under anything except a rock.
Is there no moderator? Are there no guidelines being enforced? Is this sight nothing more than a bunch of wannabe's cluttering up the bandwidth with minutia and garbage. Maybe some of the posters should consider the "no trace left behind" philosophy. I am not naive in thinking that people have differing opinions and interest that is what brought me here but I still se nothing relateable in the PORN TALK posting to justify it being left on this board.”

“Welcome walkntom. Just like in life, the internet has all kinds. This site seems to be no exception. Try to look beyond some of the stuff and you will find some good people who like to backpack.”

“Well put Windigrrl.”

“yeah, pull back the 'blinds' and let the light in.........”

“there is next to no moderation here. Know that and its all you will need to know.”

“hi, sarge”

“Folk us all........”

“Sorry about the recent invasion of slime.   It makes us all look bad.   I wish we could affect a solution more directly.”

“LOL..FREE SPEECH!!!.Yeah...as long as you agree with it right Tilty..?

Oh Tilty did you notice that the most recent review of the Augusta Government was incredibly POSITIVE! Seem after your HERO DE RVREN MAYRION left the problems are working out.”

“QED.”

“That must be Latin for "dick brain", no?”

“look over there ... something shiny”

“Marky Mark...why would Tilty be calling himself?...yeah I see your point.”

“OH I forgot, you don't have a dick, XLax.”

“I guess you could say it was Latin for "there it goes again."”

“well tom for all too many people the focus of TT is a playground including all the bad aspects of junior high”

“Hey Tom, this used to be a really cool adn fun backpacking site. It has always had its share of nonsense, but in the past the nonsense was superfluous to the backpacking.

The political bs has always been out of control, but at least you could overlook it with the click of a button.

Now though, the backpacking has become superfluous to the bs.”

“Where's the focus? Here you go...

”

“I think my point was made pretty well....LOL”

“all you whiners have to do is not open the fuego and general discussion threads. uncheck them and this place magically becomes a backpacking site. whoopee!”

“except of course, for the bozos who cant categorize properly”

“for the life of me I do not understand how "PORN TALK can be classified as being under GENERAL BACKPAKING / OUTDOORS.


He's right. It should have been under "chatter" or "fuego."







I suppose "places" would work too.”

“burp”

“Why does XL support posting gay porn here?”

““all you whiners have to do is not open the fuego and general discussion threads. uncheck them and this place magically becomes a backpacking site. whoopee!”

yeah - a very quiet and inactive backpacking site.”

“walkntom,
As you and many others have observed this place has no focus, just utter chaos. But that is no reason to leave just yet. If enough real BPers come over from backpacker.com we might be able to clean this place up. If Elise lets me be a site moderator I know we can clean some of the rats out. Then real backpackers might let their children come in here to learn and the ad money would come pouring into the new rejuvenated TT. Let's make it happen!”

LMFAO! Yeah, right! Take yer best shot.”

“so, is Elise ever on the site. I know when I first signed up there was a problem with the auto-responder and it took a couple of days for her to reply. Not that I should complain when I don't know all the details of her involvement.

Nevertheless I will focus on those who seem to be interested in the subject matter for which this site is designed and ignore the rest.”

“I am not sure there is enough room on the ignore list to make that possible”

“i don't know. where's my glasses?”

“What you doing up so late Mrs. Pamela? Sleepless?”

“The porn thing was an abberation. It's usually just good clean atonement.”
