This is not the topic you might think. I was courious to know how it was that in the last 4 months or so, there were so many active members posting on the site here. How did you find Rockclimbing.com? Last Nov. I was playing around on the computer and jsut typed in Rockclimbing.com and guess where I came too...been hooked ever since. Glad to see everyone here

Mr. Fiend introduced me and now I'm addicted. Customer referal is often the greatest marketing tool in many businesses. If every member got one friend to join this, place would be jammed full o' climbers.

kriso9tails...i could not agree with you more...I pretty much figured most of us were courious at one time and jsut typed it in and viola! we are here and now junkies:) I would agree...jsut one friend per active member= lots o' climbers:) This just means that since all of us at one time just typed it in and found it...many others are doing the same and we should all strive to make this...let's all take a deep breath..."the most traveled website on teh net"...exhale Maybe a pipe dream...lets try:) [ This Message was edited by: russman on 2001-07-20 06:28 ]

I found this using www.google.com as well. Which I believe to be one of the best search engines out there. It has become my new climbing magazine. If I'm bored i just type climbing, or rock climbing into google and read for days.

It was simple for me. I started climbing only a few months ago. I sat down at the computer one day and and curiously typed in ROCKCLIMBING.COM. I was imediately brought here and its been hard to leave ever since.

I just figured rockclimbing.com was a site. Typed it in and liked what I found... I think the lack of posters is due to the fact many climbers go into hibernation for the winter.

WELL, I, Graniteboy, was out soloing "Bird on a Wire" in Jtree. I had Just Topped Out, and I was performing my Soloing Top Out Ritual....when Up in the SKY was a BRIGHT NEON GREEN LIGHT...coming from a Spaceship. They were VISITORS!!!! They landed. They took me HOSTAGE. They Implanted a big Metal HOOB-A-JUBE up my B*tt. And ever since then, I keep Hearing in my HEAD; "R-o-c-k-c-l-i-m-b-i-n-g dot C-O-M. R-o-c-k-c-l-i-m-b-i-n-g dot C-O-M. R-o-c-k-c-l-i-m-b-i-n-g dot C-O-M." and sometimes I hear: I love ta singa, about the moona and the Juna and the springa....

Found the site while looking for info on where to climb in the Hampton Roads Area. Love the site and am still looking for a partner or some "rockrats" to hook up with.

I'm one of the lucky few who just typed in rockclimbing.com and in an instant the best site ever appeared before my eyes. It was like I was dreaming or something. So many people with the same over-achieving intellect as myself, I couldn't believe it. It was like I had been wandering around cold and alone in search of something...but what??? And then, with a few simple key-strokes, it appeared...I had found what I was looking for, I was home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry it always makes me cry, I'm a little sentimental ya know!
