Posted October 19, 200717 yr Dear god, I hope they get it back online soon. Why? Some examples from the substitute "forum": August 1st, 2007: "that place looks insane!! why have I not heard of this dubai before??" Sept. 16th, 2007 (by a mod, no less): "Also, no badmouthing and or hate-spewing the Freedom Tower or calling it ugly names or even constantly saying that it's ugly! I've had to tolerate this crap as well there. Anyone who does this, their posts or threads will either be closed, edited or deleted." Oct. 18th, 2007 (this is how they titled a thread announcing a new project): "New Museum Plaza in the world!!!!!!!!!!" God help us... clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram

October 19, 200717 yr The SSP forum is down because of a server upgrade. In the meantime, there's a "skyscrapersforum" forum which leaves a lot to be desired. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 19, 200717 yr Yes it does. I checked it out just to see what they had to offer, and it's horrible.
October 19, 200717 yr I go to http://www.skyscrapercity.com/ for my needs. Great forum. http://www.urbanplanet.org is awful. No posting of articles or even snippets. Conservatives or even moderates are not allowed, as you will be banned (really) or yelled down by the mods. I plugged UrbanOhio in an Ohio event and was shouted down.

So they're liberals, but don't value your freedom to speech. Interesting breed over there.
October 19, 200717 yr "I go to http://www.skyscrapercity.com/ for my needs. Great forum." Skyscrapercity began as World Skyscraper Forum, which was an offshoot of Skyscraperpage. It was another forum set up for a less North American-centric format, but became a refuge for the people banned from Skyscraperpage.com. The moderating is a little lax, and honestly the maturity level at Skyscrapercity just isn't what it should be. It's great for info on Europe and Asia though. Urbanplanet's ridiculous - some people were posting images from my site without saying where they came from. I'm okay with people doing that as long as they cite the source, so I just said "Hi folks, please cite my website since these aren't your photos". Their admin wiped out everyones' posts and said "since we don't know what photos are okay to use and what aren't, just avoid clevelandskyscrapers.com altogether". They really need to get over themselves - given the level of participation, I'd say everyone else has. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 19, 200717 yr ^ Right. The participation in Kentucky is NIL. Rural King has been very supportive, but he knows its a losing front against SkyscraperCity. While I am not the greatest fan of SSC's layout, given that there is one lump Lexington, KY thread that is many, many pages long and makes finding detailed specs. on a project hard, it's far more busier than UP. SSC does have a less mature feeling than SSP, but I haven't encountered many problems yet.
October 20, 200717 yr Post a link to the live site - I keep getting re-routed to the SSP home page. :wtf: clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 20, 200717 yr What am I doing wrong?!? That link takes me to the SSP home page, not the forum!?! clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 20, 200717 yr weird, try this...... http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/forumdisplay.php?f=39 when I click on my last post, the link properly takes me there.
October 20, 200717 yr Still no dice... well i'm going to go on a tirade on SSP making fun of you then, and you're defenseless!
