I've only added skydivers to my friend list. I've gotten messages from some whuffos and i deny them my friendship cause they're just not cool enough for me.

I meant to laugh at that, too.

Very interesting insight.

I was looking around what I could on MySpace and found some things I'd like to be a part of...like my buddies up at Snoho that I haven't seen in forever. I want to know what they're up to! I want to see pics of their fun hikes and jumps and dogs and friends and stuff like that...I can't visit due to distance, time, and injuries...so I want to keep up with everyone and pitch in an occassional 'Hi! I saw your pic of hiking! That looked like fun!'. Stuff like that.

I'm not one of those kind of people that's concerned at all about that 'my friends' list or whatever that is, I just want to keep up with some people I'm in distance from.
If I don't have 900,000 people on there to make me feel popular I'm not too worried. -Mebbe that's why they won't let me in.

It's a conspiracy.

See Bobbi's thread "Katie and Brooke" for my theory on this matter

You are guilty by association. I have ruined it for you

My myspace.com profile has been useful in finding a number of new gay skydivers who's interested in attending Rainbow Boogie 2006.

I believe it added about 5 additional registrations, from previously unknown skydivers who weren't members of dropzone.com. Apparently, there are skydivers who are members of myspace, who aren't members of dropzone.com!

There are skydivers that are not members of DZ.COM?

I was being polite and circumventing that statement.

Yes! My day is a success.

But did you use a form of circumnavigation to do so - if not - then no - you still have work to do to complete your day.

Amazingly enough, yes.

Some of these people are on Solo or A license status, so it's not entirely surprising.

Stii - there seems to be a definate lack in communication at some dropzones - how are these students supposed to get correct information about every aspect of skydiving wihout the proper tools to work with?

dropzone.com is a proper tool for students?

My instructors told me otherwise!

My instructors asked me to stay away from here until I went on solo status except if I wanted to look at the pretty pictures

My day was a success b/c I successfully used the word in a sentence.

Anywho, something about the word "circumvent" just doesn't sound fair to me

I don't like it. I will choose to use "elude" in its place from now on. I like "elude". It has a nice sound to it. Rolls of the tongue. E-luuudde

MySpace is just a tool. I wish people would stop putting so much drama onto it, like it was some sort of social phenomenon. Yes a lot of people on it are shallow, insecure morons. But guess what? Most people are shallow insecure morons at some point in their life. Who cares?

Myspace actually works pretty well for skydivers, to keep in touch with other jumpers at DZs, find new jumpers in your area and so on. And the drama, clicks, attention whoring, etc on dz.com isn't any better either.

That was funny. And, I disagree

But, I've been there, said that, and moved on now

I used to be totally against myspace, until my boyfriend signed me up and a group of friends that I haven't talked to since high school found me. Now I think It can be a good thing as long as you don't take it to seriously. I usually only add people I know in person or that I have met on here, but I will make an exception for other skydivers because in our small world there's a good chance I might meet them someday.

That's how I feel about DZ.com. When it first started, it was a small handful of us, most of whom had just started jumping and back in those days, actually talked a lot more about skydiving

Most of us knew each other personally, but those that didn't we soon met. Even now that it's grown so much, I feel the same way and am excited I have plans to meet up with several of "my favorites"
