Kendall-- You may make some inroads with the crowd here if you learn a little more about the hobby.
This will help you with the lingo and what happens on the stone:

the real Pate has left the site.
Word is that he is here when he wants to be and he is busy getting outside and raising his daughter.

Two thoughts...
1. If this image from Big Mike a few pages back is what you have... Oh Feck! You have not a clue and neither do your designers/programers/partners/investors.
2. As someone who did lead the charge for a new social network, went live with an international base of users, received some decent traction and solid investment, I must say... I would never do it again. The book has been written and there is no need for another chapter.
EDIT: Oh yes, while on the subject... while Valley Giants have their place, there is nothing like a #00.

WyoRockMan,
You made my day already by posting that safety meeting with Robin Tunney of The Mentalist. She's one of California's Sweethearts. And it's an interesting (smirk) piece of filming. Liked the whippers (wanna see that again?).
Kinda like a morgue this morning. Hope it stays that way.

Our platform is for people to create more engaging one-on-one relationships based upon similar activities, passions and interests.
 why?
Unlike any other company making innovations in social networking, our platform was conceived one-hundred percent with diehard hobbyist in mind and will change the way hobbyists interact online.
with one-hundred percent diehard hobbyist in mind? Can anyone say oxymoron?
to help explain our platform and so that you can see that this is something new and highly unique.
I read someone had stated that a new chapter was not needed…. So what really makes your "new" anything great, meaningful or even moderately fun? Like I hear from the republicons I know you can't give specifics and at this point much like the republicon rhetoric I don't need to hear more specifics to know that its not worth my time.
The only problem is, our platform is designed for all hobbies, and we currently can only focus our budget towards the most receptive hobby communities.
More than one problem exists here. You keep thinking of climbing as a hobby. Ask PTPP if what he does on the wall is his hobby? I can't imagine dying while doing their hobby. But then again I'm not a man of the world type like others on this site.
My strongest reason for approaching this forum, though, involves the forum owner and a potential partnership beyond a simple sponsorship of which we are confident will be well received.
Hey I have this great idea for people to talk to each other on a forum and I will try talk to the owner of another place where people share to see if I can get some money for my great idea. Either that or try to drag people over to my great idea instead of the owners well established forum. Not sure what the why answer is. If you can do something better then open up your site, do you community hobbyist advertising and see what the results are, otherwise you shouting on a mountaintop and its between you and the wind.
So if the forum owner will contact me we can discuss the matter further.
Werner said it best.. ghay
Eventually, one way or the other, many people in the climbing community will discover our company. But in the social space, the tone is often set by the earliest adopters, and we know that the forum community is the most upstanding and most knowledgeable kind of user
Sounds like the beginnings of a delusion… Hey, can I vote to have on who should go first? Fattard, blueraggs, TGagT, LOB, JEllezariano, and others
automatically dismissed
Done!!!
We want to be completely above board in our actions here
Fail. I WANT to be above board, I just can't right now.

It's threads like this that really make me miss Pate.
That screen shot that Big Mike put up, that showed the theme of the site based on "He used this: _" "To do this: _" just begs for some nuns.

OMG!
This thread is definately going to be included in my future book "1001 Funniest Taco Threads of all time"!
(CMac, just FYI, all proceeds from 1001FTTOAT will be going to the ASCA.)
Kendall, best of luck with your new company. If you are lucky and right, the model will be successful with some user groups of "hobbyists". There's certainly an abundance of choices.
But I STILL cannot figure out EXACTLY what you are trying to ascertain from US?

Good to hear you are going to take some more time off cosmic. Gotta let that wing heal up so you're not on the injury reserve all the time. ;)
