realskiers

Hey Lynn -- I noticed that last night, actually, as I was ambling through the forum, that the name suddenly changed.  Seemingly spontaneously.  Quite unnerving it was, too.  I had to reassure myself that I was still on the same forum, and hadn't been hijacked to some Russian hacker's lair, never to be seen again. 

Ratliff's posts still there? Check? Midwif's? Check? Gary's? Mike's? All there.....Phew!

Gandalf needs to give a guy some warning before he springs this sort of thing on us unsuspecting innocents.

As for the name, I agree with you -- no need to have Gear and Technique in the name.  Too specific.  Heck, we talk about all kinds of things here, ski related and not.  And definitely not just gear and technique.  Just "Ski Forum" is fine by me.
