The way AZ and I worked out Inuk access was the link from the Inuk forum granted Inuk level access. I can point it wherever but you'd have to ask him how it worked. I guess proof of Inuk status would be a PM from one.


I believe I know how to make this work. I'll get it set up and let you know where to point it.

FWIW - I tried a point system in the early days of the PDB. That was a huge mistake. Bogus entries overwhelmed the honest and thoughtful ones. It was a huge disappointment to me.


That is too bad. So far mine is working, but I don't have very many users, either. All of the people on the site are "honest and thoughtful" - I've been semi-dreading the day when I have to watch and make sure everyone still is.

I'm really sorry about that. I was in the Quetico when it went down and fixed it when I got back today. I won't say "I hope it didn't cause any inconvenience" since I know it caused a lot of inconvenience for many people. I hope you'll forgive the lapse.

Not a big problem considering 5 or 10 years ago it was unheard of. You probably could recruit here for helpers if that would work.

It's a very friendly site so thank you.  Well organized and easy to find ratings and info.  The rates don't seem prohibitive, but appropriate.  Maybe there is a way to have a one time, limited to one year special guest status for people who were members of PCD.  Just a thought to help folks migrate to the new site.

The PCD and its ratings will always be free. I am not going to charge for someone else's work Smiley I am still working on the inukshuk ratings and getting you access to them. Right now you can see your own inukshuk ratings, but no one else can. I will provide a link here in the future (on the inukshuk board) that will give you access to those ratings, similar to what Azalea did in the past.

I looked on the inukshuk board and could not find any link to the advanced ratings.  And it looks like this discussion has gone quiet.  It's been a few years since I used the PCD so I frankly don't recall what is missing from the non inukshuk ratings.  Are all the campsites still there and just the 5 star ratings missing?

If that's all it is, I am OK, as long as i know what I am missing.
Thanks

Believe it or not, yes, I am still working on getting QJers access to the Inukshuk ratings. Whenever I start working on it, I always seem to get interrupted by something else...

I think you are correct that the 5-star ratings are missing but the campsites are still there.

Don't sweat it.

Dots are good. Stars are to be avoided sometimes. Comments are in the eye of the beholder.

In the past, I remember adding one or two this is not a campsite anymore type labels. Stars have always been paddler dependent.

Last I looked, there were still unmarked campsites (no one could miss) to be thankful for. There was one point marked a few years ago that I aimed for and it looked good to me but I wasn't up for the LNT thing since it wasn't a campsite anymore so I moved on. The next 4-5 star dot I aimed for would rank e for emergency.

I wouldn't know how many stars to give the site I eventually camped at. It was memorable.
