Whats new in the world of slinging.org?  I've not been on the forum for a long while and figured I'd come see how things are going.

I three had a break and came back.

Joe Meadmaker is now benign overlord.

Curious Aardvark sadly died.

I don't know if its cause or effect but it is quite quiet here and the worldwide slinging group on facebook has recently shot up to 10,000 members.

Good to have you back.

😁👍

My outlook on life is Aristotalean; on seeing an Acorn I see a potential oak tree rather than Plato's view that it is a failed copy.

Yeah, we sadly lost CA almost 2 years ago.  Rat Man and myself were bumped up to admins.

There isn't much participation from older members anymore.  A lot of the current traffic on the forum is from newer members (which is great to see).  We have some fantastic new sling maker!

To spread slinging information out a little more on the forum we have a couple new boards, which you may have already seen.  Instructional and tutorial stuff can now be found in the Sling Academy board: https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?board=SlingAcademy.  And it's not very active, but we have a board for social media stuff: https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?board=Podcast.  The social media board is actually a repurposed board that was dedicated to a sling podcast (called Catch This) that a couple members (Kick and NooneOfConsequence) did for a while.  It's not going any longer, but everything is linked there and still worth listening to if you're interested.

In the Sport and Competition board, the Pumpkin Challenge (https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1726534229) for this year is now open.  No entries yet.  I was hoping to do mine before going to Internationals in Ibiza, but it will have to wait until I get back.

That's the stuff that came to mind at the moment.  Smiley

  The only other thing I can think of is that we no longer discuss politics and religion here.  With the current situation being what it is and everyone so polarized such discussions just keep getting out of hand. So at least until things calm down and return to semi-normal the ban will remain.  Many of us miss such conversations so hopefully it won't be forever. 
    It's good to see you back, nwmanitou.
