Because of guys like you and I.
This is the beginners social site. Over there is for advanced climbers and egomaniacs that just want to exchange ideas and other dumb stuff.

If you looked at the member list of TB and AS you'd see a large overlap. Oh, and a Dun-lap too Back about 8-9 years ago I started on the ISA page. Since then I've followed the arbo discussions on many forums. Each has its merits and shortcomings. Is AS better than TB? How would you measure that? Volume or activity level? Silly...
Why the competitiveness and snide remarks about other sites? Aren't we all in this to have fun? It seems pretty provincial to start spraying on other sites.

i think that the world is big enough for 2 top arbo boards; and at that thought, mebbe that is anemic for what it could be. i think that it is best that both boards remain vital ports of exchange, and that does take folks keeping both alive by using them.
i think it is best to try to be better to make a differance, rather than put somehting else down, just to make it seem like there is a differance. i think TB purposefully has a different flavor, all persons being welcome, but more tree focussed i think, less other stuff.
i think Mike walked on board with these same people at ISA without problem, but is just being polite including himself as a begginner, cuz MB would have never made it
!
It does seem that the last time this board came up over thar negatively like this, it was in referance to people being put down etc. And people were there at TB partially cuz they din't have to put up with that, yet here we are...
Climbing champ Mark Chisolm is partners in TB so probably seeks to develop his own board etc. quite fairly. And does enough by leading the pack, giving promise and openness to what we might possibly do/reach for. It is the other partner Tom; that lays all borders aside; brings life saving info for climbers, trees and the like to anyone that will listen, even forsaking his own for everyone else to go where the volume is. i've often thought that is above and beyond what most would do. But, then i guess there is always something positive going on, so why bother looking at that..........
Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr something like that!
:alien: :alien:
edit: Ya know i came in here before to congratulate and Thank Mark for leading the pack, expanding the science, being our racecar to set other things by; all the experiments he has prolly done to be better, that have trickled out and down to us. But somehow got sidetracked by a different force. Thanx Mark!
i also take notice that in Murphy gets Published Thread ; a certain negative personality of putting others down is noted by another organization in this same narrow field.

This site is a lot about blowing dust off after a long day doing. A lot of stupid side remarks which at time make ya smile. It's OK.
And this site has a very hard time being exploitory and supportive of extended thought.
TB, is to dry, NO side remarks even when they would of value in keeping a discussion going. My personal feeling is that it is something about authority on that site. No one would ever speak from their gut, especial to Mark C.
Just my thoughts, love em all,:angel:

Bring Mark on over here! I convert him to the TH!
I'd rather talk to Beranek, though.

Jerry Beranak-famous tree guy. I think he knows something about rigging. He appeared on some Stihl posters (wearing clothes so you may not have been looking at those posters).
