This is just sad



I heard a couple of people were unable to access the latest Above the Crowd one day after the damn thing was emailed to subscribers. I checked my link and I can't get it either.

I know that the above technical error has nothing to do with the blog tearing pieces off Above the Crowd in a recent thread, particularly as to the uses to which Barb MacDonald is putting it. I know this because I've been soundly lectured about thinking anybody would react to a blog - and they have a point. Nobody who knew their business would run around reacting to shit from some blogger. The internet is full of critics, gossip and unflattering assertions and 99/100 times the target carries on with their own message, as that's what you're supposed to do if you know what you're doing in the first place.

I'll just go with the idea that one day after Skate Canada sent it out, there are subscribers who can't see it via the link Skate Canada sent, demonstrating that Skate Canada is as wizardly and professional on the tech end as they are on the content.

    They took down the page with the newsletter?
    LOL

    Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. It's just a weird one-time mistake.
    Uh-huh. I'm not buying it. IMO it's a reaction to this blog.

    Maybe they're re-sizing the photos so people can actually see them. I can't believe that during HPC Barb tweeted a "very cool" "scrum" photo that could be enlarged even though there was absolutely nothing of interest in it, but when it comes to skate pics it's saved for the newsletter where we get semi-thumbnails of groups of skaters.

    Between that and the "nothing to see here" Backstage Pass at Skatebuzz it's like all SC wanted to market was the "scrum".

    I don't see any changes after a quick glance....maybe it was a tech error...or maybe they were again responding to this blog lol!!!

    Also classic that they included "hey did you know our Mike Slipchuk came in 9th at the Olympics 20 year ago?!?!? how incredibly interesting is that?"
