The Future of NYSkiBlog

[Campgottagopee]

I'll do it as long as I can ski.

Good.
I'll echo from previous posts. I truly appreciate all the effort you put forth in providing NYSkiblog. With the passing of Warp it made me realize how truly special, and different this place is when compared to others. There's a level of respect that we all have for each other. IMHO, that starts with you.

That's more like it.



And what I meant was I don't want to see it wither on the vine. It's beyond me why you think that's a better outcome. Remember Namath's last season? He should have retired.

A site like this stays vibrant with effort. Look at TGR. It's down and broken so much, I barely visit any more. Alpine Zone has also seen a dramatic decline, since the newest owner doesn't really care. Without constant attention it will wither.

FWIW the forum is harder to support than the rest of the site. There are lots of people who support Wordpress, for a price. The forum is a different matter. The sideways image thing... I created a relationship with a developer in San Francisco, who knows the software well, hopefully he'll address the issue this week. ($50.)

I was looking for ideas. Maybe it's best to keep this kind of thinking private. I put it out there because I really believe in the collective wisdom here.

My 2cents. You are either growing or shrinking. If the passion is gone and there is a market for a site, sell it. If the number is so low that is not worth it corrupt everything so no one can use your work in the future.
I better here about a god damn tractor before you go.
