All good things...
It would be a severe loss to the climbing world if all the content of this forum went bye-bye... so much of history is woven into this site.
I pray that content is at least preserved somehow...

Lots of ideas, but none of them are going to make something like a lawsuit disappear.
What I'm reading is that everything is "wait and see." - on basically the direction the lawsuit takes. These things can often take years. Lawyers are the slowest, least urgent sacks of useless in the entire professional world.
However - what I'm really waiting to see - and I'm sure I'm not the only one - is the name of who is suing him. They'll only be able to hide for so long.

I'm just reading and interpreting exactly what was posted by CMac.
That said - let me add - "after the legal issue is over".
As long as they are holding ST accountable for these supposed copyright crimes and the damage they feel it has caused them - they better be right - because the community will in return hold them accountable for the damage their lawsuit has caused if not.
This is the balance of nature and how I've always seen it play out in the long game.
All should and will be done fair and correct and transparently, not in some online speculation witch-hunt fashion.

If someone is going to do something to you, they just do it. If they threaten you it means they don't actually want to do what they're threatening. This Aaron guy isn't even the slightest bit scary looking to me. If someone posted his pictures here and you took them down, it's over and you should just ignore him.

JLP, you have been speculating from the very start about how Chris is likely to have lawsuits looming, and where they are coming from. That kind of 'witch hunt' (your word) just isn't helpful to anyone.

CMac stated openly and clearly a few weeks ago these recent actions were directly the result of a lawsuit. Nothing in my last few posts contains a shred of speculation.

Chris: Thanks much for all you have done and still do. Keep up the good work reminding all of us that there is still freedom in the hills even if it's not in the forum.

I've met lots of folks through this forum, particularly by attending Gordo's events in JT and facelifts.
It would be a shame to see this forum go the way of the dodo bird.
Chris, what can be done to save it?

It always amazed me how I could ask the most random question about beta, health issues, traveling, or anything and someone would have something to say on this forum.
One of my favorite examples was when I inherited some climbing artwork and I posted a pic of the art to try and get more information on it.
Not only did the actual artist chime in on that thread but we got a full backstory and history as well. I though that was pretty cool...
At any rate it's been fun, I've never posted so much on any other forum.
Thanks for the ride...

Lawsuits ruin everything
Yep. And even if they have zero merit, it's time and stress and lawyer fees .

Now that sound political!!! But, it is the end times.....
I got to supply some people with free wine just for the asking, which was fun. First five cheap ass respondents get a bottle of Cabernet. Send your shipping address to senormucho at gmail dot com.
