How long has Elanor been a contributing member?

I used to use climbingmoab.com all the time, and never knew about climbingboulder.com (I know, impossible b/c Boulder is the center of the universe lol) Then 1 day I went to climbingmoab.com and it was suddenly MP.com. After double & triple checking that the URL was correct, I took some time to look at the new site, and liked it enough to finally sign up. I remember being confused a couple years later when people on the forum were discussing about how MP.com used to be climbingboulder.com. Question: Was climbingmoab.com part of climbingboulder.com, or were the 2 sites separate until the merger?

Has she ever been a contributing member? So how did MP come about, each of these sites were independent and one of you said hey lets merge together and everyone was on board? I would imagine there would be some conflicting ideas on who is in charge and if there is going to be any money involved...? Let's hear the birth story of MP :)

Myke started climbingboulder way back in the day - very late 90s when he was a CU student. I think I more or less kicked off the wave of sister sites with climbingmoab.com - it was the first to get regular contributors and traffic. My brother Peter started climbingblackhills.com, Mike Morley started climbingjtree.com, and there were a few other sites like climbingsaltlake.com, climbingdevilslake.com, climbingslo.com, etc. When Myke left Boulder and went to grad school, he put a freeze on the sites while trying to get someone to take the IP over. I started writing a new codebase since no one was stepping up, but thankfully Andy and Nick took that huge task off my hands. That is more or less the history since i've been involved.
