Why they left???

[lxt]

Well, if you read through some of the threads here its no wonder some of the site veterans are gone for good, everything has turned into an off topic display of nothing to do with tree work!

Murphy actually made a good point when he said what pro would seriously wanna post on a site that shows such behavior or something like that?..........treevet is gone, OD not around much, some of the older guys like masterblaster gone, Fireman not here & many others that had a lot of knowledge & input.

I admit I get caught up in the banter.......but its at an all time high lately! some on here post just to post & their posts make no sense, others have an excuse for anything they do even if its wrong, its like a bunch of school girl drama..........one says he`s done, one posts felling videos claiming to be the best, one now is battling with his neighbor over a log & some of the other posts are just so ridiculous that when anyone chimes in, me included its in hopes that the poster will go away!!!! My god what happened here.................ive seen talk of riding wood & other strange feats claimed as a joke that just have no place here & would surely in the real tree world have the crew whoopin ya for fun!!!

It seems this place has just turned into a who can be-little the other guy better than how they just got be-littled........I am no better..........just wondering where it will all go from here?

The regular crowd took a big hit for sure within the last year or so. I think people got their own stuff going on mostly... and well, there is those two pain in the ass mother####ers, that I won't mention by name.. and at least one leg of the jacklegs is biting his tongue (for now), so I'll shut up.

I miss prentice around the site, that dude seemed like a real treeguy (funny as hell too), and sure knew his ####! A real shame that was, he was one of my favorites.

I think there's an ebb and flow to it, though I've only been around a few years, it seems every winter there's a lot more bickering and bull####ting, well...because it's winter. lol To much blame to be placed all around to single out a few bad apples, but I don't mind the banter. Some places are far too sterile and though I like talking treework, sometimes it's good to just shoot the #### with your buddies. And there's still good threads here, you just gotta open up more than the watchadoo thread and murphs vid threads. Lol. There's been a few threads recently that I learned from, bought a new hardhat based on advice in the hardhat thread, learned the new husky topper might be pretty nice and coming soon, bucket recall thread is invaluable, lotsa information out there, you just have to pay attention and not get wrapped up in disputes if you don't want to. For the most part I wouldn't change much about this place with the exception of bringing back some of the guys LXPEE mentioned.

I was just reading the latest issue of psychology today. Good article about getting to the heart of an arguement in there. You think yer tough? Ok, try admitting yer not perfect, admit to being wrong, apologize for something. Go ahead tough guys, I dare ya.
Anyway, Blakes, when I first saw you wildly hammering my 26 through a tree trunk I was a little nervous. I hope you got some finesse now.
And yeah TreeCo, I piss everybody off. No ointment on the ego here and I don't dole it out just to be friends with someone I really don't even know. Fact is no one knows nobody or nothing much less themselves. Like Prentice, we all only hope, yearn and even die to be something proudly definitive and we hope so bad we sometimes kill ourselves in the process. I tried to tell him, I am sure I could have done better but he was so much wanting to be a Treeman it consumed him, ate away his ego til he died like Elvis. Truth is, he wasn't a Treeman ( there is no such thing as it stands anyway) he was just a man and for him, for you, for us, well, I suppose that just was not good enough.

And wasn't the thing that got freddie mercury the fact that he was a pole smoker? I'm just saying that that might not have been the best choice of quotes..

 

[superjunior]

I'm new here so this is the only way I know it..

 

[Nailsbeats]

I can't say anything nice here so I'll leave it at that.

 

[Nailsbeats]

OK, I have something. Banter between treeguys can usually be tolerated by all, because there is a mutual respect to some extent. It's banter and BS by outsiders that haven't earned respect that tends to drive guys over the edge. If forum natural selection doesn't cull these folks, thing get out of balance. Which is probably the concensus at this point.

Good material, people, and topics aren't dead, were're just on the ass end of the cycle, I hope..................or I'm otta here, lol.

It was not written by Freddie.

It was a very poor choice of quotes. Just twisted banter if you ask me.

Hey Daneth.....don't feel like the lone stranger.


Something has happened to me, I can't doubt it anymore. Came as an illness does, not like an ordinary certainty, not like anything evident. It came cunningly, little by little, I felt a little strange, a little put out, that's all. Once established it never moved, it stayed quiet, and I was able to persuade myself that nothing was the matter with me, that it was a false storm. And now, it's blossoming.











Jean-Paul Sartre, 'Nausea'.

No lie there... well unless its to yourself.

Its all twisted banter. Your lucky to be alive.

Some people are here For The Aggravation that they bring to others. I see a lot of post that belong in Arborist 101. Sometimes when I know I have nothing nice to say I just say this:

Forum: Commercial Tree Care and Climbing
This Forum is for experienced tree climbers. Ask beginner or new to the business questions in the Arborist 101 Forum.


I really don't know how much more clear you can make that statement.

 

[Toddppm]

I don't mind most of the extratreeanous stuff, it's more entertaining than Arborists news or Arboriculture + Urban Forestry. Some funny guys in here could be writers, Tree Wars ,but you're already in it. GTF:eek2:

 

[lxt]

Yeah reading the journal from ISA is a put ya to sleep read in deed.........I just wondered why most of the ole guys left, they can be found over at the TB every now & then, I havent seen Tom Dunlap here in ages......just seems like the old crowd jumped over???




LXT..........

 

[2treeornot2tree]

Its fun sometimes to read all the banter back and forth. After all tree guys are a pretty rough crowd.

 

[Toddppm]

Too good for this place or no sense of humor? A few left because they got quoted without consent in TCI magazine, really? posting on a public forum but got bent out of shape because they weren't asked or compensated for their original thoughts here, that's some funny ####. Can't get that kind of stuff just anywhere on the internets.

 

[lxt]

Traced it back to when TreeManDan signed on, this place went in the ####ter.

Del you been around for awhile.........it was like all of a sudden when many said c ya wasnt it? I just find it strange that they all went elsewhere or are doing their own thing.......I miss some of them guys/gals ......Funny cause if people wanted to see felling Vids/Pics, Master Blaster had some good ones!!! dam those were the good ole days......Oooops almost showed a sign of feelings there!

You foul yeasty cod pieces see what ya have done! LOL I guess its all good & change is gonna happen.
