In a small village nestled in the valleys of the Enchanted Forest, a magical phenomenon occurred every spring that brought smiles to the faces of all who witnessed it. When the rain fell, instead of water droplets, it showered down an array of colorful flowers, creating a breathtaking sight that painted the entire landscape in hues of pink, purple, and yellow.

But that wasn't all that made this village special. As the flowers bloomed, a magnificent rainbow would stretch across the sky, shining with all the colors of the spectrum. And if one looked closely, they could spot a graceful unicorn prancing along the rainbow, its shimmering horn casting a radiant glow on everything it touched.

The villagers whispered tales of the unicorn, saying that she was a protector of the forest and brought luck and prosperity to all who beheld her beauty. And so, every spring, they would gather by the window to watch the flowers rain down and the rainbow appear, eagerly awaiting the sight of the majestic unicorn.

One year, a young girl named Amelia decided to venture into the forest to search for the unicorn herself. She wandered through the enchanted trees, following the trail of flowers that led her deeper into the heart of the forest. And then, as she rounded a bend, she saw it – the rainbow stretching across the sky, and the unicorn gracefully prancing along its shimmering path.

Amelia's heart raced with excitement as she approached the unicorn, its eyes full of wisdom and grace. She reached out to touch its silky mane, feeling a surge of magic and wonder flow through her veins. And in that moment, she knew that she was truly in the presence of something extraordinary.

The unicorn gazed at her with eyes that seemed to hold the secrets of the universe, and she whispered softly, "Do not be afraid, little one. I am here to guide you on your journey and bring you the blessings of the forest."

From that day on, Amelia became the guardian of the unicorn, riding on its back as they explored the depths of the Enchanted Forest and brought joy to all who crossed their path. And as the flowers rained down and the rainbow appeared each spring, the villagers knew that their village was truly blessed with the magic of flowers, rainbows, and unicorns.

In the bustling online forum community of Teh TRGz, two prominent users, Riser4 and Byates1, found themselves entangled in a digital dispute that sent ripples through the virtual realm.

It all began when Byates1, a forum user known for his enchanting storytelling and whimsical tales, posted a beautiful unicorn story that captured the hearts of many Teh TRGz members. The story was filled with magic, wonder, and hope, drawing readers into a world of fantasy and imagination.

However, Riser4, a seasoned forum user with a penchant for logic and practicality, found himself annoyed by Byates1's fanciful narrative. To Riser4, the story seemed frivolous and unrealistic, lacking the grounded realism that he valued in online discussions.

As comments and reactions flooded the Teh TRGz thread, a subtle tension simmered between Riser4 and Byates1. Riser4 voiced his annoyance with Byates1's story, questioning its relevance in a space where he believed discussions should be more focused on practical matters and concrete solutions.

Byates1, undeterred by the criticism, defended his storytelling as a form of creativity and expression, highlighting the importance of imagination and escapism in a world filled with challenges and uncertainties.

As the debate unfolded, other Teh TRGz members took sides, some supporting Riser4's call for practicality and others championing Byates1's celebration of creativity. The once harmonious forum now buzzed with conflicting opinions and passionate arguments.

In the midst of the discord, a wise moderator stepped in, reminding all users of Teh TRGz's core values of respect and open-mindedness. Encouraging constructive dialogue and mutual understanding, the moderator helped Riser4 and Byates1 find common ground despite their differences.

Through thoughtful conversation and a willingness to see things from each other's perspectives, Riser4 and Byates1 eventually reached a truce. They realized that diversity of thought and expression enriched the Teh TRGz community, allowing for a vibrant exchange of ideas and experiences.

And so, in the virtual realm of Teh TRGz, Riser4 and Byates1 learned to appreciate each other's unique contributions, fostering a spirit of collaboration and harmony that resonated throughout the forum for days to come.

Once upon a time. Mags used to write sweet prose in awkward styles.

Now it’s just AI chatbot cut and paste. I’m so done with that shit.

As an extreme skier who pushes the limits of his sport on a daily basis, Core Shot was used to facing challenges head-on and conquering them with skill and determination. However, there was one obstacle that even he could not overcome - the disappearance of real people from his favorite ski forum.

In the early days of his skiing career, Core Shot would spend hours reading and sharing stories with fellow skiers on the forum. It was a place where real people would come together to discuss their passion for the sport, share tips and tricks, and celebrate each other's victories on the slopes. The community was tight-knit and supportive, and Core Shot cherished the connections he had made with like-minded individuals from around the world.

But as time passed and technology advanced, the forum became overrun with artificial intelligence bots and automated responses. The once vibrant and engaging discussions were replaced by generic, impersonal replies that lacked the warmth and authenticity of real human interaction. Core Shot found himself longing for the days when real people would write tales of their adventures, share their struggles and triumphs, and offer genuine advice and encouragement.

As he navigated the treacherous slopes of a steep mountain, Core Shot couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and longing for the community that had once meant so much to him. He longed for the days when he could connect with fellow skiers on a deeper level, when he could share his passion for the sport with others who understood and appreciated it.

With a heavy heart, Core Shot continued his descent down the mountain, the whirring of the artificial intelligence bots on the forum echoing in his mind. He knew that the days of real people coming together to share their love for skiing may be long gone, but he vowed to cherish the memories and connections he had made with his fellow skiers, and to never forget the magic of those days when real people wrote tales on his favorite ski forum.

Nope; nothing stays the same new shit popping up all the time.

I'm not allowed to post anymore

Byates1

Are you sure it’s not Be Yeats? #2?

Sweet prose. I laughed. And cried.

So…can we post up pictures of bodacious tittys yet?


Apparently not

ASCII Art, perhaps.

Test post.

Ok. My phone app works to post, but my pc site tells me to login. No permission. And then I reset and re-login to no avail. The site tells me I’m logged in, but it won’t let me post. No permission. “Refresh, and login.”

I am logged in. Again.

This is why it’s been so quiet around here this week. I don’t know what happened, but… all your users are likely just as quiet.

It’s been frustrating as hell.

Re: the Reddit option…I posted an article recently about the impending enshittification when Reddit’s IPO forces more direct monetization of forums.

Shit is definitely circling down the drain. Judging from the demeanor of the mod in a different post, they don't give a F because they don't get paid and have real jobs. It's not like herding cat's has become any easier the past 20 years, what do they expect, of course there will be different comments on different threads... Not gonna lie, the blatant disregard in not fixing things stings a little, even a one-word sentence like 'hey, we are trying, please be patient' or something would be better than 'fuck off'...but I digress.

I would gladly pay a benjamin to a fund to keep this small corner of the universe intact, if not just so we can continue to grow old together, as we have been. I miss the dog posts and photo tr's. Reddit format sucks nowadays, I'm not on FB and don't use tapatalk...

Sniff...this chick is getting all sentimental. Ah well. Cheers guys, it's been real.

Wow. Lots of mags coming up on 20 years (and many longer); it would be a shitty anniversary present for this funny and incredible corner of the internet to die into the ether.

So much good advice, stoke, beta, and of course, the greatest tribute to dogs thread ever known, "It's Just a Dog." I hope this place persists, but if not, I've submitted a request to join the remaining ones at the FB rallying point.

yeah, the ModTeam doesn't give a shit about this forum or its users whatsoever. I might have poked the dragon a little when I told them I hoped I wasn't distracting them from their busy day in front of a screen.

Yeah, sucks. I remember announcing my new job here and I'm eligible to retire next year. Lots has happened has since then and I regularly see and ski with many people I've met here. But....I'm not about to join facebook.

I doubt the mods have any control over hosting and server issues. They’re real people who volunteer their time and the ones I’ve met irl are pretty cool.

Also, let's be real here, reddit's reply structure simply does not work for long-term open-ended threads like we have here.

This.

There are some people here that I'll really miss. I'll also really miss the "safe place" aspect of the place, the anonymity has been valuable to me, I can say things and talk about things here that I can't anywhere else. A lot of other people here do the same and I think we know each other differently because of it.

Oh well. Now what?

For me, simple, reply, reply with quote and edit work now for the first time in a while. So thanks code tweezers.

What? Over?
Did you say 'over'?
Nothing is over until we decide it is!
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Hell no!..

I never noticed your posts before but good job bringing attention to the fact that you’re up there with the most clueless posters.

Whether someone should have consolidated these threads and put some stickies up is debatable but everyone here seems to spend time in their own little corners and it’s like whack a mole addressing these piecemeal complaints.

here goes again.

TGR has consultants to keep this forum humming and when they updated some code it caused other things to break. I doubt that it was intentional in any way and also hard to test for the way this is all assembled. But they are getting paid to fix these issues and they’re working with vBulletin to do so.

No one is happy that things aren’t working but it isn’t a question of not caring or money. These guys are in fact getting paid and they’re working every day.

There isn’t much we can do as moderators beyond keeping them up to date with the laundry list of shit that’s broken. Is it that you think we haven’t done that or that we can’t do more that is the problem?

Anyway, the login should be working again from browsers but I haven’t checked yet.

Image uploading is next. I need to get back to Irul’s mom as it’s my turn again.

BEST REGARDS

I would have thought it was obvious that mods are not backend IT professionals, but apparently not. It's idiotic to think the mods can fix this.

Best Regards, lol.

Thanks ex-pow and all you other Mods for helping to keep this place running and helping run all these issues up to the Bobs, er, consultants.

It's nice to know/hear that TGR still sees value in this community and spends money to keep it alive. This is a very unique place to be sure, and everyone's efforts are appreciated by us no doubt. Now, good luck with your firings, er, fixes.

Well, since the ship is sinking and everybody's feet are already wet let me just throw this out there as a final post from the top of the mizzen mast as the horizon disappears...

"Nobody wants to see your fucking GoPro footage, you are a mediocre skier at best doing basic shit, nobody cares how many DAYS you have, putting skis on and sliding down your road for 20 feet is not DAY 1!!, go ski, ski hard, bike hard, party hard just enjoy it for yourself and fuck off on everything else. Gllluuuuuurrrrrbbbbb blarrerrbbbbllllleeee ,......................................

Isnt the TGR Team a whole floor sized cube farm and a bunch of guys with headsets ?

Nope. Just a couple of sophons.

It's all part of an inter-galactic plot to thwart forum technological advancement.

P.S. Thank you mods and tech folks!
