Sh#t's Going Down on Supertopo!
« on: April 14, 2019, 07:16:49 PM »
Holy shit!

Ham-handed nimrods seem to be at large. Thousands of photos... poof. Long, long members with thousands of posts... poof.

Will the site survive? Oh the drama  :o

Thank God for Mudn'Crud!!

Click on the thread: "Please do not upload images you don't own on SuperTopo."

Started today. All photos that aren't hosted on Supertopo are gone (all of mine are gone). As far as I can tell, all of Dingus' are gone. Mouse From Merced protested and he's gone. It's a shit-show (which, in honesty, I hope settles down and is fixed).

Can’t understand removing the url tags?!?

Yeah, that might be the end it. Shame too.

Best post on the "sh#tshow" thread yet:

"How do you photograph a train wreck if you’re on it?"

I like the site and I know many, many others do too. I hope they get a handle on it.

I don't understand this part of your post and am curious what it means. Could you explain it to me in plain English?

It looks like on my TRs the image links aka urls that point to the flickr images are gone. Those links are what presents the image in line when it has tags. They did that removal by finding all the well formed  [img] “tags” and deleting those en masse. They’ll never be able to restore those.

unless they do a point in time restore, which I agree will never happen.  If you upload an image onto their server, from the user agreement, it appears they own it.  Unless I read that wrong or things changed.

I do not understand deleting links to images.  How is that copy right infringement?   Anyone have a clear understanding on this one?

On another note.  They are welcome here, lol

See my efforts focused on this site we’re well spent.

They must have been faced with a large elaphant....forcing an entire moles wracking in one go.

Now what do I do? Read a paper book?

Maybe it’s time for a new site...CAbouldering.com

yep, the rise of the microsite is real, except for the dastardly FB jack boots!


Really, the ST deletions came about because someone felt cute, and followed through...


lol

I am ok with the shutdown of political threads.  If it happens here and there due to some momentary laps of reason that is one thing.  But the taco at times has way more politics than anything else.  It has actually gotten better, there for a while it may as well have been a political site.

well the political shit going to the top is a result of people not posting real content.

So we're all implicated.

But a 'site for climbers' is not the same as a 'climbers site' so a mix of thread topics is ok. I just didn't like not being able to filter as the mood strikes.

Just got worse

I say better.  That should have happened a long time ago.  It's sad that grown people can't behave.  I'm surprised that some of the heated stuff on there has not lead to some one hunting the other party down and killing them.

Hurry you can still enjoy BULGEMELON.

Cascade Climbers went through a similar over haul years back.  Accounts modded, content deleted.  It gets less traffic but it is more of a climber site now.  Any one remember the climbing site with the topless thread. lol   It was by far their busiest thread. That is long gone but the site remains.

Just one bolt at the mantle move and bolted rap stations would be interesting.
