Teh TRGz—last bastion of the good internet?

I remember thinking Usenet was tits.

It was. But required a bit too much nerdery for most.

If you add in questionable home improvement advice and whatever Leroy posts does it sort of even out to zero?

Still $37 in the black.

better all buy more Tin Cup Wisky, Yeti products and Mammut airbags or else kaput

When I was in Jackson this year I saw the the TGR store and went in with one specific purpose.

There were no robes.

t’werent none at that popup shop neither… startin’ ta think them robes may​ be vaporware.

They were front and center in the Breck outpost window last year (ask Fred, he'll confirm).

What about used car buying advice?

Gear Swap and a endless supply of PBR skis helped me buy my first timeshare.

More actual real people may start moving back to bastions like TGR forums:

That was worthwhile - it's probably not really anything you weren't aware of but worth thinking about.

the pocket meat Ted Talks really sold me on this place

My wife brought her young coworker over this week to have me look at her car and then spent much of the time both picking on me and praising me for my forum activity. “Oh don’t worry, he is a weirdo that likes forums and will figure out how to fix this”. It’s a Jeep with a leak… better head to the wrenching thread.

I certainly appreciate this place. I have been able to bring both my best and worst self. I have had both friendly advice and the once in awhile needed kick in the nuts and being told to get over myself.

Also, where do I need to read up on the robes?

[ötzi]

Never mind the robes, it's all about the wands.

The writing is on the wall for everyone. You have Wall Street essentially telling anyone who is listening that AI is taking over. Maybe that is over hyped right now, but it's the future trajectory.

Forums like TGR were the social media at the onset of the 2000's. We know what has happened since and now we're starting to see a glimpse in to the future.

When will people allow AI to scrub data from their social media and start to use it for AI behavior learning? ANSWER = it's already happening
When will it be too late to change any policy related to AI? When will society just give in and accept everything?

Holy buzzkill.

Lol, get that guy a branded robe.

Lol

Within destruction is greater than without

ETA, really like how the site randomly reloads itself now.

Bathrobes aside, and outside of the few bitcoin millionaires we have, does a forum full of post menopausal divorced men with depression issues and $10K in retirement savings really appeal to advertisers?
And let's not forget the Canadians, they're only equivalent to 0.74 of a US consumer.

I tell my children this all the time. Go outside and leave your phone at home. Navigate the real world with your brain.

Not bad, not bad.

As a travelling Mag, this place has been better than AAA Triptik printouts.

Or Harvest Hosts, but I leave you some of my harvest.

I thank each and every one of you for a flat parking spot and extension cord!

[Timberridge]

Not bad, not bad.

Cheers mate! Hope all is well up there.

Gary, just be glad you're not Mexican. They're only 0.06 of a US consumer.

I always wondered, the fake snow that H-wood uses must be something that dissolves later if you hit it with water? Can't be something too hard to remove?

[stuckathuntermtn]

IDK if any of you have ever been on video game forums (like for bug reporting and support and stuff. Complicated PC games/sims with whole coding libraries, not Madden or Halo). Anyway, they have the worst mods in the world. Real mega Karens. I think they forget who works for who. And it shows a real fucked up sense of priorities when a company has a buggy product, but 2 full-time employees deleting posts and banning people that could otherwise be doing QA or any other stuff to bring the product up to anywhere near a 2024 level of polish. And god forbid someone swears on a forum about a game where you drop bombs on people's heads. Karen's are immune to irony.

@ TR: No all the snow's still right where they put it. Proust once asked, "Ou sont les neiges d'antan?" and the answer is, scattered around Hollywood like litter. That shit lasts forever, like luggage.

Geez, I figured they'd have come up with some environmentally friendly snow since "White Christmas."

[ötzi]

I was kidding, I just wanted to be the first person in TGR history to use a Proust quote, in French. I threw the little Eddy Murphy twist in at the end for lagniappe.

Hey, at least it’s not asbestos anymore!
