intro post

[sixbeforelunch]

Welcome! :)

Like it says in the community profile, this is intended to be a place for climbers to hang out and chat. I won't bore you by repeating the community profile information here, so if you didn't get a chance to read over the community rules, please do so.

Just a few other things related to getting this comm off the ground.

Your friendly neighborhood mod is a boulderer and gym climber pretty much exclusively. I'd like this community to be open to all sorts of climbers and to that end, I'd like to get a top rope climber or lead climber or outdoor climber to co-mod the community with me, so that the mod staff has a diversity of experience. If you're interested, comment here or send me a PM.

Also, I'm thinking of starting up a weekly post of climbing glee where we can all celebrate any accomplishments of the past week. Thoughts? Preferred day of the week to post our glee?

And that should be it. Go forth and post!

Woot!!!

Yay, people came! :)

[cofax7]

coolness! Love the name!

(Damn, I need my icons...)

[sixbeforelunch]

Welcome! And thank you. :)

Whee! I've been out of the climbing habit for an embarrasingly long time, but have been looking for some incentive to get back to it. ^_^

[sixbeforelunch]

Hopefully we'll start getting pic and vid spams soon. I find climbing videos always put me in the mood to climb. :)

I'm so taking that as an invitation, you know *g*.

Ooh! Came here by poking around Dreamwidth a little (mainly to assure myself that's it's okay to take my time, as I'm not missing out on anything yet, but looks like I was wrong :) ). Love the comm idea and I'm definitely looking forward to having fun here (commenting, for the time being, but still).

[sixbeforelunch]

Welcome! Hey, commenting is good too. And we're only two and a half weeks away from open beta. *bounces*

So poking through LJ and DW does lead to happiness - a climbing community that isn't overrun with spam, abandoned, or full of people who sneer at each other! Brilliant! :D

...er, which is to say, rock on, in the sincerest way possible. Will be popping in to comment here and there - I'm poor right now and desperately missing the climbing rush, so I suppose climbing squee is the next best thing.

[sixbeforelunch]

Welcome! Yes, I am hoping to make this an actually happy, upbeat place for climbers to hang out. All of the other comms I found were full of elitism and that is so not why I climb.

Yes, join us in our squee. Hopefully you'll be able to hit the rocks/gym again soon. :)

Query: is it set so that anyone can edit tags? I tried adding a "videos" tag to the linkspam, but it didn't work -- wanted to check with you before I reported it as a bug.

Just to clarify, there may be a setting thing that says only the mod can create new tags, so you may need to change that if you want members to be able to tag too.

[sixbeforelunch]

My fault. It should be updated now so that all members can add tags.

[rydra_wong]

Yup, all good now!

[rydra_wong]

Also, hey, can I drop a post in dw_community_promo? Or would you like to?

[sixbeforelunch]

You're so much better about promoting this community than I am. *g*

Yes, feel free to promote it anywhere you want. :)
