If TT is dead, please, somebody hold a s peech

“RIP”

“hollah!”

“"Me dead?
What is there a stench?
Oh ....Oh my!
Perhaps I am dead."

(Probably way off, but that's what I remember from Christopher Fry's Play - "The lady's not for burning")”

“TT is not dead. Its more like a coma.”

“Or maybe a comma, or maybe a semicolon.”

“Certainly not an exclaimation point.”

“its going thru a quiet period”

“

Jazz is not dead � it just smells funny.

“Crash...can I quote you on that?”

“It still has a flicker of life.

But, January 2004, 667 new threads.

January 2012, 39 threads.


Somebody get ready to administer last rites.”

“Feels like Dodge around here, after everyone got the heck out.

I do miss the old days and all the online fun, practical jokes and meltdowns. Can't believe I've been coming here for 9 years.”

“They're still here, they just won't/can't post.”

“It feels like there are some renewed signs of life - but we are unlikely to return to our glory days, especially without responsible ownership.

Demand has basically abandoned TT. I've been trying to push them to make fixes promised years ago and now not even a reply to emails in the last 3 months.

How long ago was it that they promised to fix the photo page (broken after they bought it, presumably by their programmers)? And how long since they partially fixed the apostrophe problem (we still can't edit any post with an apostrophe, trips wont't post with apostrophes and profiles can't be edited with apostrophes).

It's bad enough that there has been no attempt to update the site, but to not fix things that have been broken under their watch and - presumably - by their programmers is sad. It would be great if people could encourage Demand to either act like a responsible owner, or turn the site over to someone who will.”

“Why don't they just put this up for sale?”

“It is still hands down better than Latta....just hope they do not sell it back to Matt, then it REALLY WOULD suk.”

“I feel like we are in an episode of "Lost".

Why would they fix TT? Why spend the resources? I can't imagine it brings much value. Hits must be way down. Honestly, any repairs they make may be too little, too late. Maybe they forgot they own it.

With their lack of attention and lack of response to Pedxing, I imagine Demand will just pull the plug someday without any warning and TT will just disappear from the face of the internet.”

“Demand is not known for fixing up sites they buy by the 100's. They just pump them for advertising income and let them rot. Like CD, I think one day we will go to sign on and it will just be gone...start saving threads, trips, and trip reports now!”

“hello, hello, hello, hello”

“Facebook is killing it..... heck most of us are organizing trips over there....

'32oz”

“But Facebook is not killing the dark side. They are alive and well over there, organizing trips, posting interesting threads, etc. Then again, the website tools actually work over there and enhancements have been made over the years, unlike TT.

Hell, we don't even have enough muscle over here to wage a decent thread war with them! ahhh...those were the days.”

“I prefer to blame Canada for most of my problems....”

“Yessiree, them were the days indeedy!”

“It's cute the way the "mods" place all the blame on Demand Media, as if they had no hand in the downfall of TT.”

“I hope the speech is in broken euro english. Preferably delivered by a nice looking woman.”

“Well now that's a fact Stovie. Noncon and Ped you guys have caused far too much pain here than any Demand neglect.”

“Denial: not just a river in Africa.”

“{ kicks Noncon in the shin}”

“Most of those 667 new threads were one post threads started by Tarpy or Spock.”

“Say what you will, Tarprat and Spock were at the absolute pinnacle of trolling.”

“not the oldays, but it is comming back, went hiking last weekend W/ Chim ,Salem,Golfhiker and Kevin likes to Hike”

“you can check out but you can never leave...”

“Hey SuperTroll, why so hard on Matt and Latta?

Latta is getting lots of posts.....

“I don't even go on Latta anymore because it's so dang infected with spam that I am worried about getting a virus if I open anything at all.”

“ped - any idea what they'd sell the site for?

Is there much traffic on the TT Facebook group? I've never joined because the anonymity is sort of nice here. I'm FB friends with TT people that I'm also friends with in real life, ie, people that I hiked with and later had lots of private conversations with.”

“all that said, ped, I just sent you a friend request :) BTW, I'm doing a project in Boston right now. They've just started construction.”

““Facebook

HAHAHAHAHA!!”

“I bet they wouldn't sell for less than 5 figures.”

“Heck, chili could cover that.
Pony up , Man!”

“Dayhiker - I have no idea what they'd sell it for. Make 'em an offer! And do please look me up when you head to Boston.”

“Lmao! Good one V”

“If I knew any programming, I'd offer them One Meesily Dollars!.”

“hehe

I her'dat!”

“Not dead yet.........”

“Almost... So sad :-(”

“I don't hike recreationally any more. Unless you count disc golfing.

I still backpack, but it's work, I thoroughly enjoy it while I'm there, but find no desire to come on the internet and fantasize about trips any more.

But if someone can breathe some life back into this place, you'd better believe I'll be here for the antics.”

“Hi Simer! Nice to see ya man. Hey, I've been playing a lot of disc golf too. I also play in a competitive kickball league and do some yakk'n. Glad to see you're still kickin man.”

“WTF? There are competitive kickball leagues?”

“Chili adult kickball is alive and kicking at your neighborhood softball field.”
