New TAY member Registration not working?

thx for appealing to a more sensible approach kam--punk rock sensibilities die hard...

As can be seen above I have researched and offered up ways to upgrade, but it does take intentions to implement them... so I'm happy to help, but if there's no opening, there's no change.

There are probably enough software engineers on this site with spare time (especially in periods of less then ideal skiing) to revamp the site quickly if there was an organized open source effort on github.

don't cramp ddk's stoke just cuz his tr's are lift served
at least he's not coy trying to keep his ski stash secret
pugetopolispowdertechs just don't get the daily ski vibe
proskireimountaineers need a big audience to influence
the old fucts just want the rest to stay off their lawn.
not many remain to keep this platform from going epic,
RIP.

It looks like I am the de facto moderator and hence feel obligated to say something.

Cumulus: I am most certainly interested in keeping TAY vibrant. That's why I try to keep an eye on the place. The site belongs to Chris and is his to manage as he sees fit (apparently not much). Modernization of the board is clearly desirable (as I said above and has been discussed for nigh on a decade), and I do not doubt there is ample talent among the TAY community to update the site via a reasonable volunteer effort. I like the cc.com software, and I would gladly contribute my meager abilities to the enterprise. But it's not my call. FA is correct that the site will die if neglected.

For the record: I love everything about ddk's reports (and look for them daily even though I have never been to Crystal -- it's on my bucket list). My comment above was a joke in response to flowing alpy's trolling, and was not intended to be derogatory. Although I think ddk should adopt flowing alpy's single-thread format (I think laurichj has been killing it with the Stevens thread ).

I love the TAY community and read the board regularly. You guys are my family.

I love the TAY community...

I do too. I love this place and the people that are part of it.

Micah, sorry if I misinterpreted your 'ddk' comment...internet communication...sometimes lacks nuance.

Thanks also for illuminating the roles here--that you're the moderator but ultimately don't have the power to change anything, only Chris Mosetick does. And apparently Chris doesn't want to deal (please correct me if I am wrong) ...doesn't want to welcome new members in a streamlined and dignified way, doesn't want to change things to streamline participation and expand community, doesn't want to harness the goodwill and volunteer talent of this community to do so, etc.

That's sad because there's a really rich history here on TAY and it would be nice to keep that alive and living in the moment (despite the onslaught of social media and it's dilution of TAY). I even think TAY has, and has the potential, to save lives. I realize this is hard to quantify, but I know that when I encounter snow conditions that may negatively impact others, I try to report them here. I know a lot of other posters here do the same. And are open and willing to talk about their experiences and pass them along. NWAC regularly checks TAY and often weaves observations reported here into their reports. And of course there's the shared stoke that makes it all so much richer--and fun. TAY is and has been an integral part of the skiing community here in the PNW. The Golden Age of Cascadian ski exploration is written in its pages. it would be really sad to see it wither away because one person just doesn't care.
