Yeah... I know it's wrong to steal from companies, take away from the industry, etc...

But if there a rule ageist asking for hook-ups please enlighten me. I'm not pissed or going to give anyone negative karma, I'm just curious.

...And would anyone feel differently if I (hypothetically of course) asked for a Burton hookup? haha.

The original thread asked to someone with access to a form, to buy me a specific pair of pants. The thread had a black bag pulled over it's head. and was sent to Guantanamo Bay.

I know Burton makes some good stuff (ak line). I'm simply asking if people feel a little more ok with helping me screw the least ski friendly empire in the industry out of a pair of pants.

Bro- get a clue. You're asking people to risk their jobs to hook you up because you asked nicely on the internet? The reason it got deleted is because it's a joke. Get a job at a shop? Solve the money problem and the hookup problem.

I agree with the first part, but it's tough finding a job at a shop. Although I do have a job at a shop now, it was out of mere luck. People on this site have been quiet generous with their hook-ups, and although it is morally (and probably legally) wrong to 'hook' someone up, it happens. You can't expect people to not ask. I mean, why not give it a shot? If someone can get you shopform on a pair of pants, why not do it? But like I said, it is a risky situation, and that is why the thread got deleted. No need to hate on the guy.

I mean I guess if you don't mind stealing from a company that supports people passionate enough about snowsports to work in the industry? I could understand if a friend asks or some girl you wanna do asks, but not some random offering his gratitude and nothing else. No hate intended, but it is a rule that you can't ask for proforms on NS. The reasons I stated are exactly why.

Well, technically it isn't really stealing because they aren't loosing money. But I hear what you're saying.
