Thoughts And Comments On Forum Expansion

[Danoinark]

Attention Trav:

I presume once this is over you are going to go to each of the forum's where you spammed that announcement of the hot topic thread and delete them? That destroys the continuity of that particular forum where there are other topics being discussed. That's bad man.

Sorry Dano, it is no worse than inviting an anthill to a picnic. I think it is a raw deal to be forced to be part of an expansion that is forced upon the members. To move the forums and expect a following to a far less intimate setting is monopoly. Maybe Phil will sell his URL to the members. I am sure we will dig deep to keep this as is. I look at it this way, If the forums are going to be moved, the continuity is already disturbed.

For the love of Pete Trav....chill ! If it's your blog pages you're trippin'about copy them to a disk or whatever. You are spamming the whole site and freaking people out Dude.

If you are lobbying a potential takeover, and plan to be in charge of things in the future you need to ease up on the extremism.

I started reading this site a couple months ago. This is one of two sites that I visit for my fly fishing/fishing fix.

The other site, I’ll not mention its name, is very informative, friendly and helpful. My only grip about it is that most of the people on it are far away from me and are reporting on waters I would like to visit someday. Idaho, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, Colorado….. You get the idea. It is specifically fly fishing. I learned to tie flies from that site. I have participated in fly swaps there. I am currently building a fly rod for a rod swap. I will always visit that site, because I have gotten to know most of the regulars and am very comfortable talking on the site.

That being said, I really like this site for its local flavor. It reports on places that I will fish in the near future, not the someday. I haven’t gotten to know as many people here yet, but I haven’t been here as long, and I plan on remedying that.

Phil will have his reasons for updating/changing HIS site. And it is his site. He built it. He runs it. We are just the people that hang around and drink the coffee, so to speak. Without us there wouldn’t be a reason for the site. But it is still Phil’s baby.

I really like Ozark Angler. I don’t mind the hunting and other sections when I run out of fishing stuff to read about. But mostly I read the fishing/fly fishing sections, especially the stuff about the local rivers and creeks.

I suggest a wait and see attitude, Phil will update us with his reasons for the changes. I don’t think it will necessarily be a bad thing, BUT it might not necessarily be a good thing either.

There is no need to fly off the handle until Phil has stated what the changes will be and what his reasoning is.

My 2% of a dollar, for what its worth.

Your killing the threads Trav! If you love the forums so much, quit spamming every single thread please.

[Trav]

I will not chill. Phil stated he was moving the forum and that is what he has in mind. The threads might as well be dead and it isn't because of my doing.

I am trying to hang onto them by letting everyone know what is going on!!

And I intend to delete them if you don't

[Trav]

Let it be known!

"The man" is going to punish my rights to free speech!!

Shut me up and then what? You will have a bunch of sheep!

If I disappear fellas....YOU WILL KNOW WHY!

I am only standing up for the masses that have already expressed their opinions!

DON'T TAZE ME BRO!

Trav, for all your "Dawson's Creekishness" and over-reaction, that last post was HILARIOUS. You are a crazy cook bro. You're like a ratings HOG for this site.
