And I'll be the first to say there is a LOT on that thread that is a waste of bandwidth. But there are a couple of thoughts here. First, I wouldn't be surprised if DZ earns a penny or two from the heavy traffic. You see those ads at the top of the page? (*light bulb comes on*) Second, it's not ALL junk. It actually houses a massive amount of research done on the crime. How much? Well, if you converted all 1000+ pages into a PDF at 8.5x11 page size, the document would be about 17,000 pages long. Imagine that as 35 separate stacks of 500 printed pages on a big table. That's a LOT of information, and it's historic. The DB Cooper Caper remains the only unsolved skyjacking in US history and was named by the History Channel as the sixth-biggest unsolved crime of the 20th century. And out of the all the places that this massive research effort could have landed...it ended up at Dropzone. DZ has become well-known, even among non-skydivers because of it. Right. That's why i suggested that Cooper gets its own forum. It would allow an easier breakdown of various arguments and ideas into different threads. It would also help free up H&T to more important discussions. Specifically stuff like the Scary Stories thread and just about any story related by Twardo. ...this one time in band camp, ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
