I wish they would delete the truly pointless and destructive threads about any trends, outerwear, and what other people are wearing/using.
I really hate where the non-skiing side of skiing is going. Do you really give a fuck if Vanular is using Salomon? Are you his team manager? mommy? team mate? No? Then worry about other shit.
Threads about equipment should only be reviews or requesting reviews, cost, and where shit is available. Everyone hates on the "will theses skis work for me threads" while they are the only legit ones out there. It is not healthy to be worrying about whether or not you should get this years ar6 vs next years because you are indecisive about the graphics.
There should be more trick tips, tales of sick days, people looking for homies to ski with, and shit like that.
Why is everything so much about trends and others opinions? It really makes everyone appear lame and poser-ish.
Let your style be what it is, don't try and duplicate everyone elses. Worry more about where a snow storm is heading than what the cool colour will be next year.
People shouldn't give a fuck about the industry unless they are actively in it.
Then again if you force something it might not work out so well. I love ns, but it is extremely gay as well. Go ahead and look down the thread topics. Can you sleep if you don't read about half of them?
I knwo you will say you can just scroll past them. I usually do, but I don't want to see shit do this way. Then again, ns skiing is still adolescent, it will grow up soon and people will do it for the love and not for the image.
Please mods, at least delete some of that garbage

Here's my point Caleb. No, I don't know you, but you seem like a nice enough kid. So don't talk shit to people like Brian when you disagree with them; instead, show some respect for someone who does more for this sport you're talking about contributing to than you ever will. Otherwise I'm wrong, you're not a nice enough kid, and you get none in return.

haha man... Caleb as you said. Saying things a certain way gets those things heard. Was I being harsh? meh, maybe. but people listen that way. I'm not hating on ns. im not hating on mods. im not hating people on ns. I'm hating on the rediculous materialism.
I figured it would be like a friendly reminder to check where your priorities are, make sure you gots the love, and step back and look at yourself from another's perspective. Kinda like when you have those heart to heart chats with your gramps that make you feel all warm inside and let know where shit is in life.
I don't want to sound like an almighty "industry insider," cause I'm definitely not. I've seen it, dealt with it, whatever. The point is there is skiing and its skiers and the fun we have on the mountain, and there is the ski industry, the business side, the nitty gritty, scheming, marketing, money side of things. What side do you want to be on? (not that it is a battle)
Maybe, when people start threads about what bindings corey uses they don't actually care that much. It's just a 3 second thought that pops into their head when they see a photo, save the url, post it in a thread and start debating it. They aren't out on the hill analyzing what everyone has on. It must be a ramdom fleeting thought. I hope so.
Can we not agree that we would be just as happy shralping the gnar, or doing bluebird park laps in older outwear, without worrying about whoswatching and whos on what stuff? Kind of like the good ole days...

We dont have a mod appriciation thread, but I guess this is just as good a place as any:
Thanks to the mod who stopped the two assholes who were spamming the main forums tonight. You guys do a lot of work that goes unappreciated by many.

logging into NS is like playing the lottery, except that the lottery gives me better odds of winning.
