      I agree with Jaytrek, especially since 9/11 still fails on a weekend next year. Also, I think a flag-flying weekend will add unneeded pressure to cover all 48 peaks on both days. I don’t think flying flags on 37 peaks one day and 42 peaks the next is as special as flying flags on all 48 peaks on 9/11…

      Also, is it possible that this year was so successful, without any media coverage, because it was held on 9/11?

      Finally, can we agree that 9/17/2005 is too far removed from 9/11 to really make sense? If so, I feel the only democratic way to resolve this is to poll it out.

        Personally, I feel the emphasis should be placed on when it makes the most sense to hold the memorial itself, not how it will affect the post-event gathering. I also feel that flying flags on two days may be difficult to coordinate. I think we should keep it simple and have one special day for it. Just my opinion…

            Is Sunday, September 11, 2005 a possibility?

              I think this may be it:

                In retrospect, I feel many of you are probably right. Advertisements on this site could change the character of it and the event. We are considering what the best approach is in terms of the site’s expenses.

                  I’m still surprised that some of the local papers didn’t do a post-event write-up anyway…

                    Uploaded a favicon.ico file to the Web server so folks that bookmark the site will have a flag icon associated with the bookmark and in their address bar.

                      So you’ve estimated $205.65 to support the site for one year? If site traffic remains high, I don’t think you’ll have much of a problem attaining that through the Google AdSense program. In time, they will do a pretty good job of serving related advertisements. Perhaps we can all agree to scan the Google Ads during each visit and click on one of the “sponsors” from time to time. I could put them in the blue left border under “Let Freedom Ring…” and try to make it as unintrusive as possible.

                      However, your offer of Web space and an Email address to site donators is interesting. If you could get 10 people to donate 20 bucks for that, you’re set. I think that’s a pretty good deal, but just watch the disk space and bandwith used. You don’t want to increase operational costs.

                      I think either approach is reasonable, but I voted for ads as it’s easiest to implement and administer.

                          What are “hits”? Page hits or file hits? A better indicator of traffic is page hits, or better yet is the number of unique visitors.

                            Congrats Ped! Nice job on the hike. I felt pretty sick last week with a 104*F fever (still not sure what caused that) and I came close to bagging the whole thing. I then thought of what you’ve been through the past seven months and it really inspired me to suck it up and go. Fortunately by Saturday I felt pretty good aside from a mild headache. Just wanted to tell you that…

                                FYI – I’ve changed the permissions on the albums to allow any forum member to add photos to existing albums. If you have photos for an album that already exists, feel free to add them to the appropriate peak album. This will let us keep all pics for each peak in one location. Any new nested peak albums that are created will automatically inherit this new permissions approach.

                                  I believe that we looked at ski areas this year and found they wanted $500 for a room rental to start, then pay as you go for food, beer, wine. or ask for so much per head for a sit down dinner.

                                  This information is all here.

                                  Isn’t there a ski club in Bartlett?
