In reply to: Hi everyone, We will transition to the new Rockclimbing.com this coming weekend. We will start the process on Friday night at around 6 pm US Pacific time. This means the current site will go down at this time, and barring any major hiccups, we'll come back up with a brand new site on Monday 13 Nov. During the transition period (Friday night through Sunday) RC.com will not be accessible. What should you expect? A brand new site where many things will be different, yet many things will also remain the same. What will be different? * It will look and feel different, and be organized differently * There will be some great new features and functionality * It will be faster and more stable (i.e. less unforeseen down time) * Some functionality of the current site won't be there anymore * Our legal terms of service and forum rules will be updated. What will be the same? * Virtually all data from the existing site will be there: all user accounts, photos, forum posts, routes, etc. * The major functionality will still be there, although it might work slightly differently * The same people will be managing the site with the same general philosophy and style, although the group of moderators and editors will be smaller. Over the past year we've put in a HUGE effort to design, build and test the site, but frankly, everything is not going to be perfect on day 1. We expect some teething problems which we hope to sort out quickly in the first few weeks as we get your feedback. Our goal was to build a site that climbers would enjoy visiting, while laying a solid foundation upon which we could build going forward. As part of this process we had to make various trade-offs and prioritize what could be done for this release. We like the result… and we hope you will too, yet we know full well that it's impossible to please everyone. Just remember that things can and will continue to evolve. This is just the first big step. Cheers, DDT |

Christ, man....
If you're going to poach someone elses topic in another forum at least provide a link.
See, here's the link.
And you shouldn't get points for your post either.... :D

I think whoever climbs with Choss shoud watch him closely.... just in case he wants to jump. :D
I'm out on the ice all weekend, so it doesn't really matter to me if it's down for that time. Now if it was during the week then I would have a problem. I couldn't type about climbing and would resort to going to the gear shop to "look" at gear and end up not beening able to pay rent.

Thankfully my Mom will be here so we will be busy doing stuff with her.
Besides, I've been getting used to it being down on the weekend. I've also been a lot busier with other stuff too.
