    Speaking of belonging, good to see you again Dave. 8)

    Ok so why is this forum better than arborist site ?

    And yet another example of why the Treehouse is better than AS. Nothing in this thread has been deleted and nobody has been banned due to some moderator getting his panties twisted over somebody saying the wrong word.

    Ok so why is this forum better than arborist site ?

    We were on topic for a long time and covered the matter fairly thoroughly, IMO. But this topic is now at 23 pages. And actually, our off topic derails and the attitudes and behaviors of the participants is yet another example of why we are better than AS. We've managed to cover the topic, then...

    Asked and answered, Boss. ;)

    Ok so why is this forum better than arborist site ?

    That's because this site isn't about trying to one-up the next guy or claw your way to the top of the heap for bragging rights. That's for the young kids still trying to prove themselves. Most of us have been through that phase and moved past it, others are mature enough to not have the need to...

    Have you checked it out, Butch? Other than the absolutely horrible page delays I think the place has potential. I suspect it's the forum software he's using. Hopefully he will switch to something better soon or it could affect his long term success. I've only been there a couple days and I'm...

    Shhh, we don't want this place to become another AS. ;)

    Bob's rope bags are now sold at Wesspur, damn good rope bags. :thumbup: They are listed as the HC rope bag (for Hobby Climber). I have an original as well as a couple from Wesspur. The guy who developed and builds the Wraptors also hangs out here; as well as Jerry Beranek, the author of 'The...

    Randy, if you want to get old Al wound up then go to the chainsaw forum and start an oil thread. :lol:

    Cool, I'll check it out. :) Pages seem a bit slow to load. :(

    Arborist and logger site? I haven't heard of that one. Gotta link? :)

    I believe it's an aftermarket hack that Darin added on to the forum software. There are lots of them, including some that will cause the targeted user to experience page loading delays and errors.

    The links may have been shared via PM (dumb, since the mods have been known to read private messages over there) or possibly via email. Darin is insanely jealous over members going to other forums though, I was permanently banned for sending somebody a link to another saw forum via PM.

    Ahh, so now the fog is beginning to lift. :|: I figured something was up for us to have such a big wave of newcomers all within a day or two. This forum isn't as well publicized as the others and it usually takes a bit more determination for folks to find us here. Glad you all found us; and...

    Ok so why is this forum better than arborist site ?

    The get togethers have been outstanding. It's weird because we all know each other so well, yet we've never met and may not recognize each other at first. I think most forums take on many of the personality traits of the administrators. Butch has always treated everybody with respect as long...

    Well it sounds like you're in the right place. Try out one of the bar stools and see if it's comfortable. :drink:

    Ok so why is this forum better than arborist site ?

    7-8 years ago it wasn't like that. Heck, almost all of the original members here used to hang out at AS years ago. I was one of the slow ones, one day I looked around the commercial tree care forum and said to myself "Where is everybody?" and realized that almost everybody with anything...

    Oh, we have plenty of fluff. This isn't a classroom, more like the neighborhood bar where the tree guys hang out and talk chit. :D

    Ok so why is this forum better than arborist site ?

    Excellent point, Justin. And let's not forget about Treebuzz and the role they fill in the online spectrum. I find TB to be geared more toward the trainer/student mentality as well as the climbing competition folks. We have many members here who participate there as well. Some of them might be...

    Ok so why is this forum better than arborist site ?

    Well we sure wouldn't want most of those kids running around here, getting underfoot and tearing up everything they touch. :what: I'm glad they are there. We don't all like the same things and we don't all need to participate in the same forums. People will migrate to the places where they are...
