Climbville seems like the perfect name on which to build a community of people who are active in some aspect of climbing.

Communities are popular. They are hard to start, but once developed can last for a long time and grow to astonishing size.

Replacing Facebook Groups

Facebook groups can be great places and I have learned a lot from the ones I take part in.

They also have some serious issues.

1. You don’t own the group. If Facebook detects a real or imagined infraction, all your work can vanish without a trace.
2. Search is weak and posts age off quickly. The same questions get asked and answered over and over until posters burn out repeating the same thing over and over.
3. Some people refuse to use Facebook over privacy concerns.

Climbville could be your ticket to freedom from Facebook groups

Climbville was first registered in 2020.
