le Tourneau? Remember her?
Every meassage board has discussions about how great they used to be and whether they’re dying, kinda like old people talking about how great music used to be and how they don’t make ‘em like they used to.

With an attitude like that, you may never get to feast in The Drowned God’s Watery Halls.

Unfortunately, my wife already left me and took the kids with her. I don't even know where they live. I'm not going anywhere, Slap is my new family now.
and just like your old family, everyone in your new family hates you

Slap Pals need a guest board on Krooked at this stage to prevent the black death plague!

Is Fred Gall still alive?

Slap has been TMZified, with its constant obsessing over minute details of lame pro's personal lives, with social media being the fuel for this garbage fire.

Such is this modern life. Shouldn't SLAP (as supposed skatebawrd enthusiasts) all warm our hands collectively by the glorious light of this garbage fire? It's cold outside. Snuggle next to me.

I'm still gonna be posting in the music section years after it's been deserted, like those Japanese WWII soldiers who got stranded on an island and thought the war was still going on for decades.

A lot of the non-useless wooden toy banter threads are great and bullshit free. They could all use a lot more action though. I just waded through a ton of stuff in the books thread to find my next holiday read. A lot of good stuff in there.
-
I thought there just wasn't much going on in skateboarding, so it slowed the conversation down. It's fucking cold outside. Everyone is probably inside reading this shit instead of skating.
-
I mean you could go to r/skateboarding, and I just checked it to see what those people are up to. First post I saw was a collective agreement in the comments that mallgrabbing was perfectly ok and people should stop hating
-
Point me in the direction of another relevant skateboard message board.

its kinda scary that slap is the last remaining legit skate message board. any others are either gone, inactive, or completely kooked out like the r/skateboarding subreddit that has lots activity, but only used by normies who repost mainstream or personal instagram/youtube edits because theyre desperate for more views and karma, and actual discussion doesn't happen. despite slap's abrasiveness and numerous trolls, its still a bastion of skate related opinions and conversation and if it or something similar were not to exist skate culture as a whole would be one step closer to fully losing its self awareness and being engulfed by youtuber, social influencer and corporate style generic soullessness. many in the skate industry seem to think that slap is a bad thing because of the shit talking and peoples careers getting ended because of threads on here, but consider the negative results of a slapless future.
-
Yeah because skateboarding totally sucked before internet message boards.
youre missing the point entirely. im not suggesting things were worse off before message boards. if people who skate are frequently communicating through online outlets and many are using heavily watered down online communities (instagram, reddit, youtube comments) to talk to each other and express opinions publicly, this has an effect on peoples conversations and actions offline as well, and could result in future generation's legitimacy becoming more deluded than it has already. i think slap is a good counterculture to help keep things balanced with the abundance of new kids who's knowledge of skateboarding doesn't extend past the things they see on youtube channels like revive.
-
Better question is instagram dying? Maybe soon it will be taken over with all the swag boys that perform low skill tricks in slow mo to horrendous music. Whats after instagram? What will be the next social platform? Will we go back to facebook or will youtube turn into a more interactive platform? Time will tell.
No slap is not dying. As long as humor lives slap will live too.

You are a truly optimistic person if you think that the Slap message board can counterbalance all the kookness on youtube, not to speak about the watered down social communities you mentioned.
Anyway Slap is still a good niche to read about what other skateboarders think about this or that and maybe even to have fun in the process.
Personally I don't think Slap is dying or anything like that, indeed if you look at 2006 posts there were as many (if not more) silly threads everyday, you just have to read and search for the good ones.

dont get me wrong it definitely doesn't, its not possible for the good parts this community to outweigh the damage done by the other much larger ones, but at least it tips the scales in the right direction a little. i think the thing that really sets slap apart from it's alternatives is that criticism is more allowed here, where in the others any amount non-positivity is usually immediately dismissed as unfounded.
-
How is slap dying? Anytime there is big skate news/scandal this place is the go-to for everybody
-
Slappin aint dead, its just scared
-
nahh its just that now SOTY has been awarded theres nothing to talk about
-
It can't even.
Slap is skateboarding's Yelp in a way. Everything but Fred Gall sucks. The truck thread thrives. We share an excessive amount of personal info we probably wouldn't tell people we know in real life. Some Pals may stop posting or logging on in general,but there's a slew of newbies every day saying off* learning to say of and that's all that matters.
-
Slap been deaD foreva. The mag & message board format are ancient history but what both of those outlets embodied have staked their claim and had a Hugh Mungus impact on skateboarding. Skating is more about (Skateboarding) Fun times in (Life) genuine creativity & (Art) and certainly PROGRESSION now more than ever. And has been for years.
And it’s important to know that it was Not always quite like this. Major components of the industry changed because of the overall vision of the magazine and collective voices on this website. Fred Gall was not always universally worshipped. Even Gino had hating Pals.
But yeah, the board are dead, it’s cool. Lots of history lots of fun and again the cultural impact of SLAP and what and who it’s represented (as well BY so many heads on here) is pretty fantastic.

It truly is dying. The last bastion of public online skate discourse will eventually be Enrique Bonilla's Facebook posts on the Thrasher site.

The forum is still cool, very cool. It gets referenced all the time. But it's dead as fuck in here right now.

It’ll be alive again when Shane O Neil puts his new video. Everything seems like it’s dying at the end of the year until it’s resurrected April 21st.

You’re going to want to put a period at the end of that sentence there. I went ahead and took care of that for you.

it's certainly a different time from BB/hipster runoff/carles having it out for jamie thomas, and all the photoshop cover fun that came with that.
when i started lurking in 2006, i had the idea that many of the posters knew eachother from skating in person.
ali's exploits with exchange students were equally pressing as the 'world without pros' backlash and most people had a team banner in their signatures.
with so many people now on it would be difficult to get that community vibe back, but it probably still exists where only pals can talk to eachother.
i remember someone posted a link to 'baker has a deathwish' a few weeks early and no one at my small high school believed me when i told them baker was making a new company. slap highlights

Slap pals are now way quicker to smash that kook button, than in days past. It doesn’t take much to get that rep in the red.

All circlejerk, no bullying, no creativity, you have all lost your soul. Now it is only a proxy for instagram. You brought this upon yourselves, the gears are grinding to a halt.

I'm very happy that Slap is still alive and going strong. It's one of the only places left in all of skateboarding that holds people accountable for their shitty behavior (i.e. Nazis, woman beaters, homophobes).
Proper skate journalism that unveils truly nefarious activities from the industry does not exist. So I appreciate the Slap community for kooking shitty people out of the industry. I appreciate you all.

A 1/4 of the people I skate with are too soft for SLAP, another qtr says we suck, the third quarter lurks, I'm 4of4.
