Where are the Contributors?

Sep 16th, 2009 | By putra | Category: Featured Page, News

Sorry that lately there have been no updates on this site. It is in a way because I have grown tired of being the only one updating it even if we have a list of contributors who are able to log in themselves and add content about their experiences and news. I have received lots of support from friends and strangers online and offline… but for the most part support has been of the lip service variety, and only a few individuals made the effort to contribute anything, and to those few I say thank you very much.

For all those who use the excuse that they dont have time to contribute, please consider that I also have a full time job and also have no time. Consider also the amount of time you spend uploading content onto Facebook or spend chatting during office hours.

I have found that my efforts to create a community site have found no audience of willing participants and thus I question my time and energy spent in maintaining this site when the same energy can be utilized elsewhere to greater personal benefit.

So I am sending this notice to all who wish to try their hand in maintaining this site henceforth. Perhaps someone with more energy may take over from me.

Any takers, please make yourself known. Else I will discontinue this service after some time due to lack of response.

Regards,
putra

    Hi Trickflip,

    Well in a way this place can be a forum. But a forum is only as strong as its participation. Since this is the problem here, then I dont really see any advantage changing this into a forum.

    I will keep it running for a while, but will close it down if response continues to be luke warm.

    Anyway, thanks for the encouragement.

    Regards
    putra

    I understand how you feel and really appreciate what you’ve done to the Malaysian climbing community so far. It’s been a great job.

    However, If the situation continues, instead of closing down the site, would it be better to convert it into a forum for discussion? The site is already well known as an internet portal for malaysian climbers, why not use it for something less time and effort consuming on your part?

    A forum would allow more informal and open sharing and discussion of the climbing scene by everyone as compared to having a select few maintain the site everyday.
