best skier in hakuba 5 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yes, do remember folks: Positive is something that you agree with. Be certain not to have things that are undesirable mentioned. Negative is something that you don't agree with. Mentioning things that are undesirable is very negative. If you remember those things, it'll keep you in good stead. Link to post Share on other sites

Definition of "positive" = marketing bullshit and the message as you want it to be Definition of "negative" = off message, something I don't want to have being discusssed. I am happy to discuss what's going on especially in the world media. It's not like we have a say in it anyway. I stopped looking at most of it after a few days when I saw the headline of "meltdown" one morning which clearly was not happening at the time. When I talked about the negative it was more towards some people's general attitudes to pretty much anything and not adding to the thread. For a lot of the foreign owned places we were coming to the end of the season anyway. This just brought it on a little quicker. Most of us will just wait and see what happens with the power plant before making any decisions on how to move forward for next season (or the season after if they don't contain it sooner than later).

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted March 31, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted March 31, 2011 Sorry we have perhaps been a bit distracted with a few of our own problems today and I have only just noticed this. Please take out all of the personal slanging matches in this thread and only post again in this thread if you can do that. Any post from now that continues all that in any way, including comebacks, will simply be deleted in its entirety, ok? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I just don't get it David. You point out that things are ok where you live and you get slammed for it. And it's suggested you are only doing so for marketing reasons. It seems people take this good news as a negative as it's not what they want to hear at the moment. They seem to just want to hear bad stuff out of Japan currently. Maybe they just want news that reinforces their concerns to be able to justify not coming in the near future. I don't know, I just don't get it. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted March 31, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted March 31, 2011 Did you mean someone else Go Native? All I am asking here is that people take out the personal slanging matches. You are very welcome to post in the thread as normal. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Wasn't meaning you personally point stuff out. Talking in general. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted March 31, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted March 31, 2011 I agree things can get frustrating, though we can't really do much about it other than ask for personal stuff to be dropped as I have done. I hope most reasonable people reading threads will be able to take the good from the bad, so to speak. It is certainly a strange situation we all find ourselves in. I suppose we have just all got to get on with it as lots of this is out of our control. From what we are doing point of view, I'm very glad that we got all our new major work underway before this happened and that development is continuing now as normal and will be unaffected. When things clear up a bit more and looking forward to next season we will of course be doing what we can to help and get the correct message across. We have a few ideas but that will all be a later on. For now here's hoping that this situation can clear itself up as best it can and as quickly as possible. Thinking about the subject that all of us here love, it would be a terrible shame if this had a big effect on next season. All the best to everyone affected, directly and indirectly.

M9.0 0 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi, first post here. I have had a first Japan trip to Niseko planned since December now and will be going in 2 weeks. I was shocked to see what happened of course but will still happily be going to enjoy my trip up there. Excited to read the now reports every day and can't wait to get there. Even a Mag9 doesn't scare me! Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted March 31, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted March 31, 2011 Originally Posted By: xxx How is traffic to the site holding up SJ-David, if you can say? We got some pretty huge spikes both to the Forums and the main site from Friday 11th and the following days - up to 2.5 times normal so those were really big numbers. Calmed down somewhat since then but still more than the expected rise on year-to-year months. Haven't done any analysis yet but it seems fairly clear that while the pages were getting the hits, the actual requests turned in for accommodation has dropped off since then. Things seemed to be going so well on that front in March until that day as well. Link to post Share on other sites

hhaidar 0 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 The girlfriend and I are in haneda right now about to head to Niseko.
