I am happier for having cut back time on SBF and /r/snowboarding Reddit. Good people and convos pop up on both, but good fucking lord the signal-to-noise ratio is abysmal. Any time I spent on those forums itching to talk snowboarding with anyone with a pulse has largely been replaced by kids, work, and Tribute Lounge and Lars videos.

Haven’t been back in years, seems like it’s still the same vibe.

i do not regret being banned on there.
Teach me your ways. I tried deleting my account and they wouldn’t let me haha.

It’s hilarious watching them talk shit on EZ. Their entire 25/26 thread was just people taking from our thread and reposting it a few days later. That Nivek dude is Angry’s little henchman.

Johan @ C3 ran a silly contest for folks to try to hijack threads and win a pair of bindings, someone else had the bright idea that we should make all of the text in our posts hyperlink to photos of Neil Patrick Harris. that got me flagged as spam pretty quickly.

someone would have to bring back the original REV/Forum or CAPiTA channels for that, since the inserts are vertically oriented (toe-heel) and not horizontal (tip-tail) like The Channel uses.
Oh man did I not think that though, you're fully correct.
I thought you were just being a smart ass, lol
I like to think the odds are in my favor, but really its probably a 50/50 if I'm a smart ass or a dumb ass.

Yooo... beef with snowboard forum, or rather them having beef with us over here is meh. We're doing the same thing on different forums, but I guess there's gotta be some tribal war or what? Squash that and aim at the real enemy... ... ... lunchmeat prices.

I don't know if it's that we don't like starting new threads, but more so that conversations roll along and we just say whatever in the 2 dozen threads that get the visits. I think just basically, we're not big enough to be overwhelmed by posters.

Plus, I've given Burton plenty of hate over the years, and I still will on some shit. I still got some ill feeelings over C3 killing easylounging and not letting anyone take it over. B gets a lot of hate here actually. I don't think there's a brand that is exempt from criticism, except maybe rolex.

just kidding.

By the way the OG easylounging.com domain now points to this website. For whatever it's worth.

Yes. A little bit ago. Also I think whatever the other one was that Jamie had too (cant recall of the top of my head) I saw and grabbed and put a forward on it. So, basically a consolidation... ish.
