Title: "about UKB"
Post by: ukb on August 24, 2010, 12:06:55 pm: We need an "about UKB" page. Probably. Any suggestions on the wording ...? "Dire at every level" can be assumed.

About UKB? It's a ~~site~~ forum. About bouldering. In the UK.

Who's denizens are very knowledgeable about training, injuries, foreign bouldering/routing destinations, photography, IT, McDonalds, Linux.....etc. etc. :P

Post by: shark on August 24, 2010, 04:15:46 pm: Isnt it the first tab someone new to a site would click on to understand the what it was about.

Perhaps a haiku from SAChris, Dave, Lagers, Houdini and Dense would suffice.

"you dick"

Post by: ukb on October 07, 2010, 11:41:41 am: ... all that insight now distilled into a proper "about" page (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/page,page2139.html).
