New TAY member Registration not working?

will this place keep on keeping on with 37 active users?

The forum software upgrade can't come soon enough.

ddk is worth 37 users all on his own.

Agreed.

well that says a lot.
Sounds like the folks currently running TAY may do better by starting a new site called "Turns at Crystal," and hand over the reigns of TAY to folks who truly backcountry ski. Almost everyone I know (and have met through TurnsAllYear) come here primarily for the Trip Reports. While 'ddk' certainly dishes up a lot of fun Crystal resort reports, I don't think I've ever seen his presence in the TR section.

There's been talk of upgrading the site--or even elements of the site--for years and years now. So far it has amounted to no more than lip service. "I understand your frustration" does not solve the very real issues of new users not being able to register at TAY. If you and Mosetick are not truly interested in keeping TAY a vibrant, inclusive forum where ideas and stoke can be freely exchanged, then why are you doing it?

Let's not turn this into a questioning of people's intentions.
I'd rather say: how can I help upgrade the site?
I would guess that we can put the old site into a time capsule (no new posts but preserved as is) and install a new software pretty quickly.
The few times I've posted to CascadeClimbers I've been impressed with how awesome and easy to use their forums are.
