yes, I have all the time in the world...shall I come up and remodel your pension, how bout I change all the upholstery, too? when i have time...

Between you and tsu you are the sj chat kings!

What are you talking about again FT?

By the way, if the weather is good this weekend me and tsondagirl are coming up there.
CB, busy?

Im on about nothing really just pulling cbs leg off topic about pics he couldnt find.
And i was refering to the chat box on sj that I always see you guys on.
Anyways thanks for the pc! and if the weather is shit or not we will be in hakuba!

Did you have the guy fix the windows problem?

Thats just a horrible, nasty, awful label to slap on someone.

Maybe for you db, but as far as I am concerned I am the SJ chat king.

last 2 years I hardly post anywhere...Tson and I have had a few funny chats in the box. I dont have time to care bout much other than work, my health and private life is a distant second. Why dont you do it yerself ya lazy punk

Like when you told me to hook up with Dr. Lolly and Shun again.
That cracked me up.

CB, whats your weekend plans dude? Can you make it up to Hakks?

My password has been changed to something I know longer know. I have to ask admin for a new password and dont feel like it. I will still update my members page though that is important to us.

How often does "poachninja.com" get posted to the chat room?

Never that I know of and it wouldnt get far if you tried.
Im happy with the new setting, I was self destructing
over there. At least I can self destruct here without destroying
my little lodge!

Why? Whats wrong with mentioning something going on in the English speaking snow scene in Japan? What would they do if you did mention it on chat?

Its their site and they decide what goes or not, not me or you. I respect peoples wish about their site and how they wanna rule it in the same way I expect people that come into my house respect my rules and regulations. Simple as that.

and it is right that you do ...its just that I am sometimes amazed what rules people will tolerate. If I were at someones house (forum) and painting it for them (adding content) and they started making all sorts of strange rules that would get me kicked out, I'd leave and take my paint brush with me.

I guess my point(less) is that if you can't even mention poachninja... doesn't that say something smells in Denmark? What if 50% of long term SJ members mentioned PN, would they all get excommunicated?

Strange rulles;
for sure, I don't argue about that.

Respect for them;
Granted, I am in their house I go by their rules

50% of regulars mobilizing about something;
French revolution, I would love to see that.

Hahaha, FT you have yet to get on a soapbox and start a tirade here like you would at SJ! You are far tamer here than there!

which is why this site was created - yeah, I dont say half the stuff I feel like, but really dont care now. I get online to give my few remaining brain cells a break from stuff going on at work. Thats all it is for me now.

This site has all the potential. For fucks sake, ninjaman couldnt even throw up a webpage for knee braces or something for people who are injured. How does that "interfere" with SJs sponsers/advert sluts? That just had me shaking my head in dismay and a big WTF hovering above my head.

Some dude asks for help in ordering skis online in Japan - one of the first responses is THIS but not a single URL to help the dude out. Cant be fucked typing much over there anymore. There are just a few people who bring anything to that site now. Several years ago that was different. Times have changed but SJ hasnt. Leave it to the gapers. More people on there live outside the cuntry and ski on snowblades than anything else.

THIS IS by Muika, yeah, ummm, fuck thats ghay. Never a shot of anybody skiing or boarding. All those pics you can find in mags. Wait, no, you can find real pics in the mags, not those BS ones that are posted.

I think its time for me to try to get up to haks and poach something. Ive got work this weekend, following weekend is out too, but will try for the 22/23/24 weekend. will talk to ewok and see if shes keen to go up.

That would probably work for me too CB.

Oh man. tell me about it.

Not that I love to hate or anythin'... its just, like, you know...

Its that links policy that blows my head away. Both whats in it and how it is presented. They treat their members like gutter dwelling serfs. YOU CAN DO THIS, YOU MAY GENERALLY NEVER DO THIS, YOU MAY NEVER EVER DO THIS. In bold, red and underlined. We have the last word, if you don't like it then kindly get lost. And for those that stay on-board here are a few food stamps to see you through the cold winter (lift tickets SJ get for free).

And yet people go back for more like like that skinny little shit in The Lord of the Rings who forgot the taste of bread and the warmth of the sun whilst living in a dark backwards cave in the internet landscape. Gaijins in Japan who enjoy snow have forgotten what its like to have basic internet freedoms, like posting a link to help a man out, or showing off your efforts and accomplishments (personal photo blogs etc). Take a look at the TGR thread "Japan Jongified". Its one of the highest read threads on that massive forum. Whats that tell you about the number and frequency of people who need to look outside Japan for a bit of freedom of internet expression? Hopefully not for much longer.

Some of my favs from THE RULES:

I believe that was expressly written for for my blog late last year. Their deletion includes any info relevant to snowpack stability and pictures relating to avalanche incidents that had been discussed.

No wonder so few gaijins in the snow community have blogs and websites, or perhaps they do? - its like a dirty secret that can never be mentioned in the community that they want you to keep going.

All quite sad as for a long time they had a good community forum to go with their great generic-info resort database.

We don't approve.

All this cause cb couldnt find my pics laughing out loud!!!

Ninjaman so far there is nothing really for me to go off about. Most of you guys know me and the problems that I had with one member. That was blowing my top! As for terrain issues I think my 1000 plus posts on that are done. I am tired of it and have let others take up the mantle. I know what I want to ski. Debating that with guys that ski 10 days a season is like me telling a serious surfer - Hey Mate! 3 foot waves are big enough if they are there everyday.

Niseko is flat.

haha I think my best ever line was
Its a pimple!

Im with you on that. What is so damaging to their site that they cant allow members to help each other out by providing beta on ski/snowboard goods, shops, online shops, injury stuff, avie info, etc... They totally want the Mamabears, Muikas, 2 Pints, Crisps, etc to run the site. Fine, they are going to lose out very soon this winter when the only TRs are THIS IS GHEY by Muika. Will be worth a good laugh. Maybe some bear cubs will show up?

Anybody notice my new sig there??

I did, nice.
