SnowJapan

Please take part! Just a few questions about whether you use certain functionality of the Forums or not. Thank you!

That is easily fixed - and has been. How's that? Other comments from other people? ( If you don't comment and let us know, don't complain later one! )

How about this then, positioned as a "Sub-forum" within Snow Talk. Comments most welcome, we will try to respond to what people think is best!

Thank you for all these comments. Quote: I mean you could have pages and pages of just "snow" "Japan" on here and then what? Domokun may know more than me on this as I am not that technical myself, but I do not think that would be particularly beneficial (and some people might take it too literally!) Those words are mentioned on here a lot as it is. Search engines have been known to actually penalise people going over the top with keywords, though I'm not sure how that would apply to a forum. Apart from what Domokun mentions in his post, one thing that does potentially r

No photo, but this morning there was no sign of snow anywhere around the telephone. Hopefully by Monday that will be very different.

I'm afraid we're going to have to disappoint yet again. At the moment the settings are that a thread becomes "hot" if either of these conditions is satisfied: 50 replies 1000 page views. We can easily change those numbers if something is more appropriate. Other ideas are unfortunately not going to come anywhere near the top of our "things to do" list

I was just kidding, honest! (But please do be kind to us, just to make us smile)

We get flagged when someone has posted a certain amount and change it manually. If for some reason we don't change it over, if people ask us we will invariably turn them on. Yes CB it was to avoid spammers and advertisers who just wanted easy access to all the members of these Forums. We're protecting everyone you see. We try to not let those kind of people spoil things for everyone but unfortunately it is the only way to get around that particular problem.

If you know of any good Trip Reports from previous seasons, please do let us know and we will move them over to the new forum section. Thanks

We have started new section of the Forums called "Trip Report Archive". Basically, any Trip Reports that are posted in the main "Snow Talk" forum area will be moved over into this new "Trip Report Archives" area of the Forums. (We'll do that, no need to worry about moving them yourselves). So, please post your Trip Reports initially in the Snow Talk section of the Forums, here: http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/postlist/Board/1/page/1 Thanks

OK a bit of a change. Due to public demand we have decided to make this section of the Forums as a "Trip Report Archive". After a few weeks, Trip Reports posted in the main Snow Talk forum area will be moved over into this area of the Forums. So, please post your reports initially in the Snow Talk section of the Forums, here: http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/postlist/Board/1/page/1 Thanks

It is something we can set and is dependent on the number of replies and/or the number of views for a topic. Lets playing game. What do you think the conditions are at the moment?

Why wouldn't it? Done.

Me and SJ1 plan to maybe be up there this weekend, going in SJ1's car, but we were planning to be there quite a bit before 9:30

Hmmm not sure but probably about 2000 yen I would guess to Mitsumata, more for Tashiro. If you could find someone to share with.... What time would it be? We might be able to take you this weekend..

Tubby Beaver - yes it is. 1 day is 4000 yen and that is ok for all areas of Kagura. If you want Naeba as well, pay 5000 yen and you can ride the lot on one ticket. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/spotlight/mount-naeba.html

Sigh. Look, we are simply not getting into an in-depth debate on this. Re-read what I wrote. Re-read the guidelines. In response to your comments, samurai: Quote: no advertising on SJ? No.... and I did not say that. Please re-read my words. I said there is no advertising on these Forums. If you look, you will notice that there is no advertising allowed on these forums - either paid for advertising or people blatantly trying to sell something. If you do see anything that you think is 'advertising', tell us about it via PM and we will look into it and it will

Mantas, it seems you have misunderstood. I was responding to ug -- I was not telling Rag-Doll that he cannot contact another member. Nowhere did I say or even imply that Rag-Doll was trying to "sell" or did I ask him to not contact this member. We do not allow advertising and sales on the Forums or via PMs. We never have done. What is complicated about that?

Quote: Are we allowed to solicit sales on here now? ug - no you most certainly are not allowed to.... not on the forums nor in PM messages.

Welcome to the new "Trip Reports" section of the Forums, the place to post your snow trip reports. The same general guidelines for the Forums in general apply here. In case you haven't read them or want to take another look here they are: http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/postlist/Board/12/page/1 (The only thing we would like to add is that we do of course realise some people will have their own blogs elsewhere on the web, but please remember that the Trip Reports forums are for reports posted on here, not to post links to reports elsewhere). You can post phot

Well this isn't a Snow TR and this part of the Forums is called "General Travel & Trip Reports - Japan", so I think it is best suited to be here, don't you think?

We're looking into this and may well adjust the way the averages are calculated to further remove the effect of some jokers voting "100%" all the time.... thanks tsondaboy!

At the moment no. We can of course adjust this in the future if we feel it is a good idea. At the moment we just monitor any obviously strange voting patterns.
