Good luck to the crowd at Perris who's planning to set the Official Dropzone.com Record today for the largest formation built with only DZ.com'ers. Thinking of you guys - be safe and may the weather-god be with you!

Aaaw damnit! Now everybody knows.... Hey skreamer, I know you're a south-a-freak-in and your English may not be so lekker.... but can you say: "multidimensional"? Safe swoops Sangiro

MS what? Hehehehe! Safe swoops Sangiro

So, a while ago I asked about vacation ideas for August. Quincy was obviously a huge consideration but in the end I decided to do a "Fire and Ice" trip. I'm packing my backpack, grabbing a tent and a sleeping bed and heading to Alaska for a week to go kayak between some ice-bergs and hike a few glaciers. From there, off to Hawaii for another week just to get some heat back into my bones, climb a volcano or two, scuba and laze in the sun. Back to San Francisco for two weeks and then head out to London. Expect some cool pictures..... enjoy Quincy, my turn will come.

Hehehehe! Temporary fix. (if it is a fix!) Started the move to the new server - it's going to be cool! Keep the faith. Safe swoops Sangiro

Zennie - you're onto something.... I've had countless requests for this exact info. I will gladly host it on Dropzone.com if you put in the leg-work to organize the effort to gather information... We may even want to consider setting up some kind of a review / comment section for people who may have dealt with some of these companies before... just a thought. It would be good to start with the base info though. Let me know how I can help... Safe swoops Sangiro

Heya all, First - to everyone who are experiencing slow page downloads, my apologies - it's not your connection, it's the site performance that sucks! The database is probably not close to "too big" yet - but then again I could be wrong. I suspect I need to do quite a bit to optimize the tables though..blah, blah blah

I'm looking for someone who knows more than I do about mySQL (that's not a lot!) If you have serious mySQL skills and have a little bit of time to help me with something I would greatly appreciate it..... Drop me an email or private message.

This is spam! Safe swoops Sangiro

I"'m working on the DZ Review script.... hope to have the reviews back again soon. Safe swoops Sangiro

One day I got bored at work (which doesn't happen often).... so I surfed the web and ended up buying a vintage parachute ad for a few bucks. Anyway, this kind of became a habit and now that I'm moving I opened all these envelopes that's been shipped to me to find out I have quite a little collection! Most of them don't fit on my small scanner bed, but a few did so I dropped them here for those of you who are bored at work as well....

Ummm...well....check the home page!

Yeeeehaaaw! Congratulations. A3? Safe swoops Sangiro

So, here's another email that I received. Hopefully this one won't set of a fire-fight like the previous one.

Heya folks, I've been watching this idea evolve for a while..... It sounds like you are now getting a critical mass together to actually pull it off.

No apology needed - but the one you tendered is gladly accepted. You did the right thing.

Ok - seems like we have some new folks around who have not heard this before so I'm going to say it again.... This is a moderated forum. The idea is to create an inviting environment where everyone, newbies and whuffos included will feel welcome to post their questions without the risk of personal attack or insult. For everyone else who wants a different vibe, there's always rec.skydiving. I will not tolerate posts on topics like child-rape. I don't care if you write a warning, a hand-full of disclaimers and pronounce to the world that it's only a joke. I don't care if you run 3 sites on free speech and is a board member of the ACLU (nothing against them). Free speech is for democracies, and this ain't no damn democracy! I've been running this site for a few years now and have long accepted that it’s impossible to please everyone. In fact, trying to please everyone is a sign of mediocrity and you only end up pissing off the good folks. So, accepting the fact that some people will not like what I do and probably leave, I have to make some choices as to whom I'd like to keep around - I opted for the people who appreciate the character of the community that we're trying to create. I will run this site with the minimum interference, but this is a moderated forum. If your posts serves no other purpose but to provoke, insult and annoy people, you are not welcome and I'll cancel your membership. (and all 120 the new ones that you register afterwards!). Dropzone.com has a specific character that I will protect, whether you end up liking me or not. Another cool thing about this not being a democracy is that I will not ask your opinion on this nor seek your approval. Read my terms of use. Also, if someone does post something that you find insulting, please refrain from doing the same. Calling that person names and making personal attacks is in principle no different from the original post itself. It defeats the purpose of the exercise. This is a great crowd. Let's have fun and keep our cool.

Sorry for being late...check the Pub now! Safe swoops Sangiro

Jason - I had no problem login in as you.... Go to the login page and try again, if it doesn't work, please email me your username and password as you're using it and I'll check it. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/login/login.cgi Safe swoops Sangiro

Good I have a crew! sinister69, Viking and mountainman. The one is under qualified... The one is drunk... The other one is dedicated as hell... ...I think we'll do just fine! Thanks guys - check you private messages in a few minutes.... Safe swoops Sangiro

...test the new forum upgrade? I need a few hands to click around the new forums and log some bugs. Conditions of employment: 1) Minimum of 100 posts on these forums. (It will help if you've been on these forums a while so you know what's an error and what not.) 2) You have to help me tonight, and be willing to spend at least 30 minutes trying it out! 3) You have to stop bugging Macaulay! (and if you're Macaulay you have to remember that "Free Speech" is for democracies...

Yeah, we know, but remember there are children in this forum! Hehehehe! Congratulations! Safe swoops Sangiro

Nope - nothing should be lost.... I hope!

Nope - this is what is generally known in computer-speak as: "a bug"

This is definitely still an option. I actually have an invite to go to Saipan as well (where I think you are) A friend who used to work with me now works at a resort on Saipan.
