And what hiking club is this associated with? Arent there enough Alabama forums already?

We aren't associated with any one club and there aren't any alabama specific forums to my knowledge. At least none that are current and active.
I appreciate your interest though.

I am not trying to argue with you but did you happen to notice that Alabama Hiking Trail Society has moved and is no longer maintaining the first post. If you look here
http://www.alabamatrail.com/
it tells you about the new site
and al.com is a great resource which I myself am a member of. I also know several of the people who develop for AL.com and would never do anything to jeopardize their business. I have done freelance work for them in the past.
What we are trying to create for alabama is a central hub of communications for all of the various groups and factions of hikers and backpackers that they can call their very own.
I personally hope that it does nothing more than bring people together and allow them an open, democratic medium for sharing ideas and growing our community.
Thanks Again
Matthew
Matthew, the forum looks good. There's always room for one more. Variety is good!
Matthew, and good luck with your site.
AHTS allowed one member to create their forums, that person is no longer around, therefore the fourms for AHTS have gone.
AHTS, a very active state wide group has over 500 members, 200 active members and they are found at hikealabama.org.
There is not too much acitivity on the forums that already exist, how much activity do you expect to get?

Any acitvity is appreciated, but however much traffic is needed to provide a means of communication for the hiking and backpacking communities in Alabama is ultimately our goal.
You seem to know a great deal about the backpacking/hiking culture of AL. We are grateful for all your input.
Classy response, godseye.

Ewk, to me it does.
There are a couple of forums specific to our state that MAY get 2 posts a month. To me, thats of no use. I like places that are active, like here and Solo's site...
~If you cant do it with one bullet, dont do it at all.
~Well behaved women rarely make history.
what are they?? I have never found a decent site that covers bping in Alabama
Conquest: It is not the Mountain we conquer but Ourselves
Ewk, its link is in post #4...
Thats run by Solo.
As a side note, alabamatrail.org and alabamatrail.com are 2 different sites, not related whatsoever.

Why does http://www.alabamatrail.org/ point to alabamatrail.com? If you go to the url there it actually has a link to it right on the page?
It say's and I quote"
Welcome to Hiking Alabama!The Alabama Hiking Trail Society website has moved.To get more information on the Alabama Hiking Trail Society, please visit the new site: www.alabamatrail.com

I mean it just seems that if the 2 are not related they sure do seem to be handing the baton pretty well.
This is all very confusing.
I actually coresponded with Joe from AHTS and he put a link up to AlaTrails in the links section for me. I will have to ask him about this. The last thing I want to do is step on any toes.
Matthew
I will say that is news to me... I dont check either of those sites any more due to the problems/lack of info they had before. I love the AHTS site, too bad we cant combine their site and your forums. Now that would be a good thing!

(Hate double posting...)
The alabamatrail.com site was supposed to be removed. AHTS's site is hikealabama.org Hmm, I too am putting in a call to JC and find out whats up...
