What happened to GBPVR?

[nitrogen_widget]

Way too many people around here are up for the first annual Fatman_do's "Your life is better than mine award."

At least they qualified. :mad:

I think to be honest the fact that this thread appears to have degenerated into a holiday photograph jamboree, sums up all that is good about gbpvr and the community of people on here who both use and support it.

It really is a community with a very very high regard for other peoples difficulties no matter whether they are new users or like myself have used gbpvr for quite a while.

any requests for help are taken both seriously and politely, I dont think I have ever seen a rtfm reply or this is English speaking forum buddy type of answer.

I suspect that most of the users posting on here are older than perhaps other forums attract and that may be one of the reasons for the much better behaviour in general.

Overtime there has been a few postings similar to the original correspondents missive, but they have been few and far between and perhaps the original poster simply was more used to the hardcore bitching you get elsewhere

just my tuppence worth

once again thanks to Sub and you all for an excellent peice of software and a group of people who although I doubt I'll ever actually meet any of you, I do count as "friends".

Funnily enough, I have sometimes thought the same thing. Sorta like Slashdot vs. Digg.

I think the closest thing to rtfm i've seen was the many links to the software recorder plug-in when people ask about a non-hardware encoder card.

If you ever get the urge to visit Stockholm, feel free to pm me. I'll buy you a beer (that goes for many of you guys )

That's not Texas...Arizona? Colorado? New Mexico?

The bottom pic looks like the gorge leading into the Grand Canyon.

The first picture is looking down on Red River, NM.

The second is the Gorge Bridge NW of Taos, NM.

That camping spot is in located in Wells Gray Provincial Park on Azu[r]e Lake. Wells Gray is located in the interior of British Columbia.

Just asked you to confirm this identity in PM

Looked REALLY familiar, I canoed that whole distance a few times, as a kid and then again 20 yrs later.

Well Gray/ interior B.C contain some of the best places I've been, and I count that on the global scale. I did grow up in the Pacific NW though, so perhaps somewhat biased.

However, note the steep sides to the lake, and the definite LACK of beaches. Not a good thing if the weather is getting bad, which does happen- and quickly. Amazing how hard you can paddle (and for how long) when you _have to_

Thanks for the photos, brings back nice memories.

...here's my favorite holliday photos from Sweeden last year (thought I'd keep up the canoe theme too...). Any of you guys that live there can consider yourself extremely lucky

When you live in the north of Sweden now, you will have sunset all day.

*smile* summer can be wonderful here

Winter can be terrible here
