Quoteedit: we need a ruling!
Even with a ruling the damage is done. Respect for some people involved is gone. Certain rules were agreed upon, some people chose to ignore them for the sake of "winning." I can't respect those kinds of people and i'm sure a lot of other people agree. No matter what HH decides, people will be upset. There still hasn't been a list of particpants provided, but just because craig is an airspeed member shouldn't mean jackshit as far as the agreed upon rules go.

honestly i think the people who are taking it to seriously are the ones who insist they be able to 'recognize a screen name' for anyone to participate as a 'DZ.com member'.
This website has become an amazing source of information for skydivers world wide. Not everyone of them feels the need to publicly participate in the forums, but have still read, learned from, laughed at, or otherwise used the resources (articles, email, pms, classifieds, galleries etc...which btw includes the forums) to become better, safer skydivers.
They found it useful enough to take the time to create an account (and if you surf the net actively, how many websites do you really bother to create accounts on??) and register their presence. I have met, chatted with (online and off) bought equipment from, and given rides to many members who have no posts in the forums, that means to me they are not forum members, they are still DZ.com members.
If you wanted to have a RW forum record, CRW forum record, or an Instructor forum record etc, I clearly wouldnt qualify as i've never posted there but have still read a good bit of each. but i think that point of having a 'DZ.com record' should be bigger than just the forums... to me that means registered member. btw I'm not on an attempt either as i'm not current enough in skydiving or bellyflying atm really, but isnt the point of big way dives like this to be inclusion not exclusion?
..but i'm not HH, so i guess really, as always its his house.

Agreed!! I remember a few years ago when me & Kris pulled off the dzcom record attempt after a few jumps. We got tired of all the crap.
BULLSHIT! your the biggest complainer here about it. Everyone else is cool with it in a jovial manner. Your last post says it all. Again, leave the drama at home and bring your ass on the next record attempt. You have to walk the walk before you can talk the talk
and be able to fly your slot...on your belly.
BTW: on the rules, one only has to be registered on DZ.com. No # ofposts are required

Did anyone actually READ the posts in that thread link that Cora provided. What about THIS? The DZ.commers in Eloy WERE respecting the rules.
As Sunny said, the damage has been done. Sangrio can make a final ruling, but not everybody is going to agree with it. Just let it be. I think we understand your point by now.
I'm so funny I crack my head open!

Quote*** Certain rules were agreed upon.
no they were not, they were questioned several times in the initial thread, I made the same argument there that a member is someone who has registered before the record. Posts shouldnt matter at all....

So... is there a separate record for most DZ.commers to biff into the main landing area at Eloy during said record attempts?

I had not thought about the fact that you can of course visit the website without loging on.
