Nick, you like stories, so here's one: In this forum, I will continue to side with the nice guys. If you come on here and act like an ass I will not only kick you off, I will pro-actively prevent you from returning to "feed your wolf", regardless of who you are and how experienced a BASE jumper you may be. As for another moderator: I care a lot more about who you are as a person, than who you are as a BASE jumper. (Sorry Jimmy, I'm sure you're a good guy but I'm not taking applications.) Anyone is free to start their own forum, I'm free to run this one the way I believe will ensure it's longevity. I'm more than happy with the way Tom is moderating this board. PS - which wolf is winning in the BASE community? (not the BASE Zone) Safe swoops Sangiro

Most of these shots were taken with a Canon 20D. On days that I have to travel light I grab a Canon Powershot S500 Digital Elph. Yeah, wanna buy a packet of 100? I'll give you a good price. Glad you guys liked the pics. Safe swoops Sangiro

You are most welcome!

Hey all, I spent most of July and August working from the UK. We took a 2 week detour via Croatia before returning to South Africa just a little over a week ago. I've never been to Croatia before so I'm dropping a few photos online. We stayed in Dubrovnik for the the bulk of our visit and used that as a base for day-trips to explore southern Dalmatia and that part of the Adriatic sea. We loved the people, smart with a good sense of humor. Add some great seafood, clear warm water and lots of sunshine and you have the recipe for a pretty good time. Dubrovnik is a beautiful proud city. In 1991 it was under siege by forces from Serbia and Montenegro, aided by the Yugoslav army. Over a period of 9 months they lobbed more than 2,000 artillery shells into the historic city, damaging more than 68% of the old buildings and roofs. Dubrovnik has rebuilt herself (with a little help from some fiends) but the shrapnel scars remain on almost every structure to remind us of the general senseless stupidity of war. We spent a few days on Korcula, and island further to the north and reported birthplace of Marco Polo. Fig and olive trees grow wild and the sunsets are awesome. All and all a we had a great time. If you have a chance to go, do so. Enjoy the photos. http://www.dropzone.com/temp/ Safe swoops Sangiro

No those posts actually do have a bearing on reality. The reality there is that it has to do with my ad server, not with Google ads. Do you have a list of those thousands of SkyRide links for me yet? Safe swoops Sangiro

Thats good. That's fine. That's correct. That's not true. Feel free to continue to whine as much as you like...or would you like some "koolaide"? Safe swoops Sangiro

It's not a problem. It's deliberate. Nigeria, Ivory Coast and India are blocked from this site. Unfortunately those 3 countries contributed more than 90% of all the spam and scams to this site. Until there's a better way to filter for this prefer to loose some visitors from there and protect the users that I do have. I understand that some "innocent" surfers may fall victim to this. The ratio of skydivers in those countries to issues I had to deal with simply doesn't make it worth my while. Sorry. Safe swoops Sangiro

I'll have a look at this. Safe swoops Sangiro

You still here? I've been spending silly amounts of time rebuilding RC.com over the past 8 plus months. If all goes well, the new site will launch at the end of September or shortly after. We haven't touched the old site. It's still running from a single machine hiding somewhere under someone's desk which is why you'll see a lot of performance issues there. This will change though. DZ.com is humming along on a cluster of 5 servers. We've already added to this and will bring RC.com onto the same infrastructure. We've developed a lot of cool new goodies for RC.com - all of which is done in a way that we can roll them back to DZ.com pretty easily afterwards. So, while I'm spending much of my time on that site you should expect some direct benefits from that development shortly after we've stabilized the new site. Those are exactly the synergies we wanted. Anyway - in testing over the last few months I've stumbled upon quite a few DZ.com members over there. Safe swoops Sangiro

Well, I unfortunately only managed to pop in at the tail-end of the event. Was good meeting those of you who were still there though. Hope to be able to drop in again in the future and meet more of you guys.
