    You're not wrong, Peakbagger. The way this system works is that it pools together many sources over the collection of sites this group operates, among other sources. There are "known" spammer domains and IPs that are filtered on that alone. Then, new members will get a score, based on several...

    Must be a new Moderator in town.

    Hi All, You are getting a taste of the reasons (pro or con) for referral memberships, and for human moderation. The former was a contributor to the lack of new blood. Other things in my life are filling up the time I used to have for care and feeding of VFTT... hence my resigning. What I...

    Must be a new Moderator in town.

    After careful consideration of the options available, and several attempts to find someone who could run it as a "favor" to the community, I opted to transfer it to an entity that specializes in operating and promoting forums. The only remaining option was for it to fade into oblivion. There...

    Winter parking updates ?

    For the Twins and/or Galehead, there is always Beaver Brook along route 3 - out and back is roughly 16 miles and 4500' (depending on your recording device(s) and service(s)). Tim

    How long has VFTT been in existence?

    The wayback machine (web.archive.org) first crawled viewsfromthetop.com on November 30, 2001. The result that comes back mentions a previous site hosted at Lexicomm and has Darren's copyright as early as 1994. Tim

    Extremely slow forum load ?

    Keep in mind that we are on shared infrastructure these days, with traffic being under 10% of the peak. There will be times where that infrastructure is being used heavily by our "roommates". August 2005 = 8118 vs August 2022 = 539 Tim

    Reckless Hikers Pay "Penalty"

    I have to repeat this almost every time the subject comes up. Remember that... Negligence when hiking is covered for costs incurred if a rescue is needed providing the rescued party has a hikesafe or other F&G card (license, boat registration, etc.) - there is no fine. Recklessness when...

    Questions for the SAR folks

    I have taken Gryffin (a golden retriever) on bushwhacks and he has exactly retraced our steps out using only his nose. Even if we find a herd path that might a better exit, he still insists on retracing. I find it comical that he can dig a buried cheez-it out from 6" of snow in winter. The...

    How to manage WMNF
