There was never any ban. I checked on this too. I watched the alerts come through the system last night. I checked at that time, and saw no banning. None of the 3 accounts that were tagged together by the system are banned.

Not sure why a PM wasn't sent to someone about this, there were a lot of us online until quite late last night. It certainly could have been looked into at that time. We are always more than happy to help out where we can. :)

gee you can;t get enough jollies attacking the non paid members now you want to discredit a paying premium member..wow too funny..!!...yep you paid guys are sure creating valuable content..

thank you M-8
I believe him, he has been nothing but straight since I have been a member here. He has been thanked 684 times, his knowledge will be missed, but maybe (everybody hates Chris) can fill in and share all his knowledge on sledding.

thank you fred, and your right..honor is something I live by..its not a word in a dictionary..cheers
And he didn't get a certified video testimonial from his friend whose IP he used either. Give it a rest KSH...why would he lie about it? There's nothing to gain either way...it's the internet:rolleyes:
thank you Hundo..and you are right..I have nothing to gain...
Dear Mike:

So far as I know...

Your SnoWest Account "Aksnowrider" is NOT banned.

BUT

It IS possible that your Internet Protocol Address IS or WAS on the banned list.

Allow me to explain, if you will.

The SnoWest system tracks all inbound IP addresses and matched them up to the User Name that logs in. This is done in an automatic fashion and builds up a huge lookup table in the database.

When a member gets their account BANNED, ALL associated IPs with that account are BANNED as well. Its not a perfect system, but that is how vBulliten is created.

Last night, you will recall, that in the chat box I asked if you were over at Live Alaska's house?

Why did I ask this, because the system threw an alert that AKSNOWRIDER was a possible alter account for Live Alaska.

Why would it do that?
Because it appeared that your user account was now attached to his known IP address.

So, whats my point in all this.

It is possible that YOUR IP is/was listed as associated with some other account that has been BANNED.

Rather that painting me as some horrible big bad boogie man, why not just send me a PM and ask?

If you would be so kind as to give me your home IP, I will run a search and see if it is listed in any of the banned accounts, and remove it for you.

Right now, I do see another associated account to your's, ULTRARIDER. But I am guessing that is just another bud, just like Live Alaska.


thank you for checking on it Christopher..at no time did I think you personally was involved..but the snowest server did deny me access, which it shouldnt have..I have 1 account registered with snowest..zero alters....snowest is no longer my home..I dont like the treatment here..if you dont wish to refund my money and delete my personal post on here that is fine..leave my account as is and I will stop in once in a while to say hi to friends...thank you...
If that is not a strait answer....................... I don't know what is!!!

Good on you Christopher :beer;

and you are right phantom..it is nice of christopher to come on here and explain what happened...but it doesnt change what happened..my addy should have never been tagged as a alter..since I am the only account from this addy..period..ever...I wish all of you a better future and forum ...good luck..mike

1st to Christopher and catwoman... if aksnowrider is showing that he is banned, and cannot log on to this site, just how is he supposed to send you a pm??? Yes, I did log on from my home using his username and password to try and determine wether it was his ip add that was banned, or his user name. Obviously I did log on with his user. That is how we figured out that it was the ip address.

As for Mike's honesty and integrety, you folks have not met Mike. This man is as straight up as they get. That is most likely why his son that is soon to graduate high school has chosen to go into the Marines. Time for all this drama and name calling to end folks. And Chris, I hope you can figure out the malfunction that unabled Mike to log on here.

In a situation like this, where a member is BANNED from accessing their account, they can always use the CONTACT US option listed all over the site.

That will send a conventional e-mail directly to my desk.

Phantom is Glenn.
And he happens to be a really nice guy.
Someone who is concerned with the well being of SnoWest who puts in lots of hours and wants to see this place continue to evolve and move forward with less drama.

Glenn has reached that point in his membership where he is just tired of hearing the same old complaints over and over and over again and has decided to stand up and try to do something about it.

I don't think he is trying to be annoying about it, but just frustrated with the behavior of some of our members.

As are alot of us, but there still is the proper method to go about stating the way you feel and not get in someones face. We all should take the time to think about what we say before we post, and not let our frustrations and emotions get the best, or worst of us. And this isn't specifically directed at Glenn, but for all members paid or not paid.

As some members are frustrated with you and the other admin of the site. Let them have their voice, I think they deserve it. Just sayin
Were you not here last October/November?

Everything being said now is just a repeat of what was hashed out back then.

For the record, I don't care how SW decides to run its site. I don't object to any of the changes. And hope it works out

Im not going to pay just for the fact that I think traffic is going to drop off to where its not even worth coming to this site for what you are looking for.

But if you or glen or SW have a problem with people 'rehashing' already answered questions. I would suggest you either a) ban anyone that does, so you dont have to deal with it or b) learn to deal with it and try to be sensible when answering them. If that is just posting a link to where the question has already been answered or where a problem has been hashed then so be it. But calling them whiners and such comments isnt going to help the cause in calming them down. In fact it will make it worse. I believe the the problems have gotten out of hand over the last few months for this very reason. As much as you or any mod or admin associated with SW wants to be 'just one of the guys' on here, they never will be. They have to act professional and refrain from calling names or else problems will keep getting worse and it will give a black eye to SW as a whole.

So if I go to your business and want you to change the way you run it and you say... NO Thanks..this is the way I want to run MY business.

I then continue to poke and prod you...stand at your front door. Tell your customers to go down the street to another business....this business(your business) will fail cause they wont listen to me.....I then haggle the customers that stay...and I get my buddys to help me do this.. day in and through out the night, week after week etc....your saying this is all just working things out? I don't know where you live but I can tell you, I would be escorted off your property and possible thrown in jail!

I voice my opinion and give back what I have been getting..it is not fair to the members that are staying and want to make this site better.

If you are not staying cause you don't like what SW is turned into...OK..it is YOUR choice to do that..just like it is my choice to stay. Don't keep on and on and on telling me why you are leaving...but are still hear trying to work things out?????:face-icon-small-dis

Lessons learned... and I have done what I thought was right by asking and pointing out facts...I will admit that I have been in there face and I have fought this on there level and that I have crossed lines...some have gotten apologetic PMs and I have edited my posts to the request of others.

To you that find me annoying...I am sorry...I am working on being a duck and letting the water roll off my back:)

Now with that said..I have made my choice and I will defend my honor and the honor of SW and it's MODS..these guys/gal put up with way moar than you will ever know :D

Christopher,

In no way am I trying to inflame the situation here at all, just to simply point out that when you're "BANNED", you can't even get on the page that contains the "CONTACT US" option. Not sure if you knew this.

i totally understand you on allot of points there has been allot of bad stuff happen that was not called for but allot that was.i have had a successful business for many years & the one thing i know for sure is the customers that made my business what it is today always get asked when i change something because they made me what iam so without them i have nothing.long time return customer are worth 10 times what a new customer is & with the way thing have gone, so have allot of long time customers gone & thats not good for business.i think some of the trouble makes would leave for good if you did what they ask if this helps,just delete all there post & there account so sw cant use there info & account # to show they have more peps here than they do i why leave when your still being counted for.:face-icon-small-dis
