Man, If I had a nickel for every time I saw, "I miss the old forum".
It aint got nothin to do with the economy. Its what happens to forums as they grow. Forums always develop "cliques", one of these cliques is inherently "in power" as they are privately owned. More cliques more problems, lol. Sponsor number grow, cliques form allegiances and things get really nasty when the cash is involved, or god forbid a prostaff position is involved. Then we will see the "hes hateful, and lives a hateful existence" comments to demean and degrade the cliques enemy as if tearing someone else down makes them better.
Seen it so many times on so many forums over the last decade of the internet era, its funny to me now, reminds me of high school.
And of course bein rather outspoken, and a bit of a fighter, I like callin BS on BS, this NEVER goes well with the cliques.

Can't argue with you because I just haven't been on other forums. I wouldn't be so quick to call bs though as with everything, there usually are many factors involved and economy has to play into it...how much is the question.
Concerning the title to this thread, this young feller lives on a lake and gets out as much or more than anyone. So it begs to ask if being spoiled is reason...not an excuse, just a reason. just sayin.

Another thought about Johnny and you can take it for what it's worth since I don't know him personally.
As I recall there were some folks that gave him a real bad time about his abilities as a bowfisher. Seems to me the kid did pretty darn good back a few years ago and has continued to improve...yes you might expect that living on a lake but none the less, the hard time people gave him may have been reason for some of his attitude. It would hack any one of us off to be called something less than what we've become...yes?
That said, if the attitude was/is there before all the razing and banning, he, like all of us needs to be responsible for his/our actions and a good bit of maturing is needed...ok Johnny!?
I miss the winter time pictures of the fur had kid.

I work for the Iowa Sportsman and our website forum is huge with about 17,000 members. You wouldnt believe the pissin matches that go on. I actually think BFC is quite tame with lots of good guys and gals and good discussion and I love it. You are right tho, any forum that has been established for a while will naturally have the good, the bad and the ugly discussions. One of our sub-forums on the Iowa Sportsman website is called the battlefront. If a discussion gets out of hand, the moderators move it there. Some of the threads are absolutely hilarious to read and sad at the same time since I know that kids also look at them.

No kids have been on for awhile and can't handle someone telling them there wrong, they have read stuff for years and know how by reading it , we learned by experience cause we didn't have the net. And try to save them some time because the stuff they say or do won't work sometimes... Then they want to say what have you done or who do you think you are. Grow up and listen cause we might know something . When they hit 25 it will hit them.. I can't wait to say happy 25 th birthday..
