I have been back to the other site- just to see what is up, and it is dead- the quality of posts was also greatly affected by the turn of events that lead us all here. All I can say is that I hope the hullaboo dies down soon- starting to remind me of the OJ Simpson case. We're here to discuss snow and ice, and rib on each other of course!! but most of all we're here to help one another out with any questions or problems that might arise!

Just my $.02

Hope it doesn't get me banned!!!

(Sorry- couldn't resist- now on to more important stuff!!)

[Honest Mike]

Cardoctor, yea I have to agree with you there, you did stop typing in caps lock, but Im unsure which is more annoying, the caps lock or the 5 inches worth of blank space between your reply and your name! :D Im just messin with ya pal, glad to have ya here!! Mike :argue

[KenP]

Rumor has it the larger the space between post and name, the smaller the, well you know!!!!!:omg

[sno-mover]

Havent posted on the other side since I singed up here. I went back to search an old thread, when times were good:D

[flatbed]

it's been nice not seeing post's vanish into thin air.......or being bomebarded with blizzard photos............put the B.S. deflector on the shelf....ya don't need it here.............

[campi]

been back to old site just to see whats going on?? not much, I think 90% of the know how people are here !! its a good thing , dont need to go back again, this is BEST SITE !!! i think every one here will agree!!! thanks Campi !!!!!;) ;)

[scl]

With the busy summer, I didn't get back to the "old Site" until 2 weeks ago! Whata shock. Thanks to a couple of folks I ended up here. Thanks Guys. It is chilly over there!

Welcome Home! Pull up a chair & relax. ;) :nod4

[Mick]

Think of it like an education. You've finished with grade school. Now it's on to high school and college. Pretty soon you'll be ready for an advanced degree.

[Snowboy]

Is there going to be something like ******** happening. Maybe Lawn Care contractors.com :confused: I am sure there will be questions about lawn care in the summer and i dont think those of us who have switched from PS want to go ******** or ? :canada

[EZSnow]

At least the people who 'thought' they were experts at PS, can now say their piece. Even though they can't even drive, much less plow snow- they have valuable, experience-based information to provide. Now that those of us who have run BOTH the plow AND the truck (vs just running the controller while daddy drives!) aren't there to hold them back, they can share their wealth of knowledge!

(here's to ya, parrot!!):drinkup ...wait- you can't do that either!!

[BRL]

Snowboy,
There are, & have been many alternate message board options for the Green Industry for years. There were only 3 dedicated to just snow up until a few weeks ago, and now there are 5 or so.

[windmill]

Yeah but none so good as the format and comeraderie found on this site. I would love to be a part of this type of site in the lawncare area.

[Chuck Smith]

For the green side of things, check out:

(alphabetical order, no favorites)

www.GroundTradesXchange.com

www.LawnCafe.com

www.LawnForums.com

These sites were started by the original Moderators and Members of another well know lawn care forum site....

And yes, I know two of them have snow forums....

~Chuck

[Pelican]

I frequent all three of those sites, there are a good group of guys at each one.

[Chuck Smith]

I forgot to mention one thing..... I don't allow guests here. If you don't register, you can't read any of the Forums, in fact, you don't even see a Forum list. So chances are, any guests you do see, are registering :D

If not they are staring at the log on screen.....

I don't need a search engine to bring my site to a crawl while 30 spiders are indexing pages of the Forum......

I do just fine with the search engines now, and always have. I know "other" sites that pay for rankings. I am ranked high because I have the info people are looking for.

Not bragging, just stating fact.

~Chuck

[windmill]

Weeelllll I'll believe it only because it's you, but I'm thinking a little "I'm not worthy" smilie would have clinched it.;)

Chuck, I tried to log on from the firehouse computer today, but it wouldn't accept my info and wanted me to register. Does an adjustment need to be made?

[W-n-K Landscaping]

Pelican-
Do you have a firewall running on your computer? It might be blocking the cookies that are required to browse the site. Or it might be blocking almost everything but certain sites that have been granted permission also. Just a couple of things to check.

Which Department are you with? I have 13 years now with the West Monroe Vol. FD. I also have about 12 years with our local ambulance corps in the next town over.

Bill

[Pelican]

Coming up on 25 years, Lagrange Volunteer Fire. Have served as Lieut., Capt. and presently as President.

I did the rescue thing for 5 years, but got burned out pretty quick with some bad calls. Still an Ambulance driver.

I'll check on the firewall. I was able to log on to my own site from there though, this one gave me a problem.

[Assured Services]

Thank You Chuck!! This is a great site, and the only one for snow contracts. Keep up the excellecnt work!:D :cool: :shades

[Progrounds]

In case Chuck hasn't heard it lately, THANKS.
:) :)

[gslam88]

Are you guys talking about

everythingsnow.com??? why is jay's site banned???

And Chuck you mean there really are people out there that don't know about this site... how is that possible....

Pete

[szorno]

It's really kinda funny. I still get PMs from the other site once in a while. Like today. Apparently their usual "experts" aren't getting the job done. I actually visit about quarterly. vs here where I check in pretty much daily. Yep... my buddy Chuck has done a wunnerful thin. He done give us a place to call home. And we get access to Wyldman's brains ta boot !!
To borrow a line from a Bing Crosby song---
Let it SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET it SNOW !!!plowing! :waving

[VALLEYWIDEPA]

there is another lawn service forum that you guys were talking about. it has about 7800 members and the address is
http://www.lawnserviceforum.com/

[snowplowjay]

Hahaha you didn't get here by accident!!!

This is where you belong bud!!!

This is where the professionals roam..................

Sit back relax and enjoy...................


You have found the best of the best in the snow industry!!!

www.LawnCafe.com I happen to be the admin there, and they have a small snow forum on the site for those who want to stay on one forum, and another seprate site, but as you can see from the amount of posts I have, I visit here quite often, and hang with my homies.

Anyone real serious about snow, I direct them here.


I also visit other site like Lawnforums, and GTX.

"Are you guys talking about

Pete"

LOL - Pete, ya brought up a thread from a year ago, when we were first getting started here. Without reading back through the whole thread, Chuck doesn't want us to post links to other snow specific message boards, just like you wouldn't put your competitor's phone numbers on the sides of your trucks ;) So out of respect, most of us have not posted the links to P-site (the site that was probably the one you referred to as "banned"?),
P-cafe, et al. Sometimes they have been posted, and we left them. Ultimately Chuck understands that many of us will see & use those other sites, and encourages us to use all available tools to increase our knowledge. Last time I saw Jay's site I didn't see a message board there, so I'm pretty sure Chuck is OK with posting links to there. If he does have one, out of respect to Chuck & his efforts to provide this forum for us, we'd appreciate not posting the link, that's all.

And to answer your last question, ************* was the original & biggest of all of these forums and is where many of us came from. But Sean won't allow ANY mention of any other potential snow or lawn related message board links to be posted (the
V-Bulletin software automatically "bleeps" any mention of any of the other sites in the forums, PM's & Emails at the site). So unless members there happen to talk to other members here privately & this site gets mentioned to them, they don't know where many of the old members who no longer participate there disappeared to. So unless those members are doing any type of Google search that would bring them here, they assume we just dissapeared I guess. That's how it is possible.

szorno,
Its funny, I've recently gotten some PM's from there even though I haven't posted in around a year. Now that the season is upon us seems like some members there are seeking more detailed answers to some questions :confused: ??

[Lawngodfather]

Nov of last year, If I'd of seen the date, I wouldn't of replied......

I would never create a competing SNOW PLOW FORUM...............


This is the place I call home...

All that I want is to add to the industry with my site not take away from LetsTalkSnow.com!!!

I didn't even notice Pete's post the first time reading through the thread...............



Jay

[gslam88]

BRL,

The post mentioning Jay's site was not that of a competitors site, but that of ribbing ... We all know that Jay's site is more of a compliment to this site and by far not a competitor...

I Hope both Jay and Chuck no it just good old fashion ribbing that I usually throw out there... with the occasional bought of sanity..... maybe...

I also did not pay attention to the old post BRL... and I know about the other site.. I just don't speak of it any more... water under the bridge...

So I will say publicly that If I offended either Chuck or Jay.. I apology... as anyone who knows me, I am just a wise a## and don’t mean to offend anyone

Looking at Jay’s response … I think he took it that way also….

Pete

Haha I was actually more confused than anything Pete..............

But you know me............I have a great sense of humor.........there was no offense taken........


Jay

[BRL]

LOL I didn't know Jay's site had made it to the Official List Of Banned Sites here. Well, I also didn't know we had such a list, so I was confused too ;)
