For what it's worth, I think Mick and Bubba are both totally sound guys, having met both a couple of times. However Mick, you do have a habit of stirring on forums, and I don't seem to remember you ever making a useful contribution to any thread on UKB.
In addition I'd quite willingly supply this site with many bouldering images, topos and maps......but at the moment UKB is just a forum. It needs to get its shit together.
No, it was more a reference to when somebody who either doesn't use a "real" name or is not a registered user posts something that the rest of the forum is uncomfortable with, there follows a whole slew of "why don't you post using your real name, coward" or "why no profile", etc. This may have changed of course, I've not read your forums regularly for a while now.
You're perfectly welcome here Alan, I was just giving my perception of why that particular question didn't get answered. I may not be correct in that view, but it was the impression I got.
See my kind offer above....when Bubba was looking for ways to fund this site. In addition I'd quite willingly supply this site with many bouldering images, topos and maps......but at the moment UKB is just a forum. It needs to get its shit together.
Woodwell were great tonight. I was out with the big mister of Lakeland bouldering....I now have several more Font 7a projects to get my 44 year old bones up and I'm looking forward to every minute of this fine climbing experience.
I'm just grateful that he bothers with this site at all.

Mick UKB doesn't 'need' to do anything
Subjective....but this is certainly a popular thread. Look at all the bouldering lumineries popping their heads above the parapet and waiving their little bouldering brushes (Lapis and M-16).
And anyway, surely diversity is a good thing. If UKB and UKC weren't so different, there wouldn't be any point in having 2 separate sites.

Exactly. They both have their merits, as well as what could be percieved to be faults. I doubt there is any such thing as a perfect forum, not least because what constitutes perfect will be different for pretty much every individual user.
