I have heard several people express the opinion that this forum is drawing readership off the BASE Board at BLiNC.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

 

If anything this forum leads to the more technical aspects of BASE at Blinc.

I do mean this site are more skydive/newbie freindly.

Talking on Blink could be a bit rude for newbies,who dont want to look total stupied.Hopefuly it will change,afther Micks hard job to get the new site up.WE(users of Blink should rember to help Mick a bit more,and tell him what to change.As he says he does it for us..Sure there will be a bit problems in the start,im sure it will be perfect by time.

I do belive that BASE zone at dz.com is agreat thing for newbies/skydivers who are at the step to deside to do it or not.But Blink will still be the place were tecnical Qs will be answered by most BASE jumpers,and therefor you migth get more info..

I still read both .

I read both as well.

I think Blinc is just alittle slower right now since it's the off-season for many BASE jumpers. Around here, you have more activity because of skydiver curiosity.

Just my $0.02

This coming from mostly a lurker, rather than poster, on either of the websites, I don't think there is an issue with one site taking the other's readers. Or,if there is an issue, then so what?

We live in the age of information, and we want it as fast and as easy as we can get it. There is more than enough room on this WWW. for more than one BASE informational site.

I personally find this board more aesthetically appealing. Does that mean I don't ever visit Blinc? No. Because the answers to the more technical questions I'm looking for usually are posted over on that board. And then, it's usually from searching the archives.
Not that there isn't any qualified jumpers here on this one. It's just that this one is probably more set up for the curious skydiver. Which there is nothing wrong with that because we all started out as a curious skydiver. or at least I was one.
Oh yea Hookitt, I still skydive also. Always will too. But that's another thread......

Nice Avitar... <== spelling?

Thanks....

Just another pretty Tx sunset.

Thanks

Your expensive private education is showing. Good thing I'm just a dumb kid from public school.

All other things being equal, I'm sure my avitar would be as cool as yours.

Speaking of Avatar's....ok this has nothing to do with avatars..

The new canopy slider down 3 second delay just simply PARKS it self on opening.

:)

Speaking of expensive private school education, there's no apostrophe in "avatars".

Thanks... that was d-dog with the expensive private schooling. I still put an "e" in potatoe as well. :)

Hardly fair to mock Hookitt's grammar, when I was the one mocking your expensive schooling.

There is if one is discussing an Avatar's ass. . .

..best suggestion yet

I've been skydiving 15 years, in 2002 my goal to cave BASE was decided.../ think after 40-50 BASE jumps, I might feel comfortable reading and posting on BASE Board.
In the meanwhile feel I have got good advice here,
along with info from BASE jumpers I skydive with.

Speaking of correcting the punctuation of others, that period should be inside the quote marks.

I'm sorry, it's just that I never get to post in this forum.

I never heard of BLiNC, until I became a DZ.com user. I tend to think that a lot of people (myself included) would have missed a lot of valuable data if this cool forum didn't exist.

Just a greenhorn skydiver's take on things.
