    Are we still getting new members?

    Exactly, the very few here keep this site going which generates income for a guy that screwed over members. Why the loyalty to a social forum is just mind boggling. People are holding onto this place like it's a part of thier family...lol

    I can understand it some. Hell I talked to the guys on here more than most of my family.  Lol.   But to say it's "better" now is just ridiculous.  And it could be fixed with minimal effort

    This kind of behavior from a forum owner is really quite bizarre. I am wondering if something happened to him. None of it seems logical.

    Not bizarre, he took members money and ran. That's a scumbag in my book. People and moderators have tried to reach him with no success. I don't do facebook but I wonder if someone can locate him there or on any other social media?

    A bunch tried Facebook and no response.  Including the mods.  John said he was still very active on Facebook but didn't respond to him either.  He's walked away which is his prerogative as he is the owner.  But why anyone stays out of some sort of loyalty is beyond me.   He prob just tired of it and still pulls in a little $ without doing anything so why close it.

    Haven't been on in a long time.  Always like your content @Doc. You weren't around when all this kinda fell apart. But I can give you the recap...

    - a few people including the mods here tried to contact the owner and he won't respond to them.  Which is huge disrespect to the mods here that hung on.  Why at this point to be loyal to him is beyond me and their own decision.  Only Eddie is left and he quit for 18 months as well at one point. And I can't blame him. John and Geno are basically gone and have been. 

    - a bunch of people bought some t shirts and never got shirts or their money back

    - a bunch of members that accidentally got logged out couldn't log back in and couldn't get any help to do this.  Including some long time members. 

    - a few tried to buy the place and no response. Again the owners prerogative.  

    - the website domain was about to expire and many thought it may not be renewed as there is an absentee landlord.  

    - there was zero direction here which every online system needs some oversight. It's just the way it is or it's a mess.  It became all political with most of the topics being of this nature and all just arguments.  

    - one bully and one guy posting only mass political content needed moding but it wasn't done.  Most would have stayed if this happened 

    - no new members have been able to join since 2022 except for spammers and hackers. 

    - add content got difficult to get thru

    So am opportunity came up with a person that has another site with the same content started a new site.  Within a couple of months 95% of the most regular posters moved over.  There is a reason for that.  We all enjoyed this site and how it was setup and wanted it to continue but it was falling apart. I for one hoped that it didnt close.  I still look in on some guys here including yourself, first light, Cory, etc.  

    I kept stating that the one guy that pummeled this site with political postings was a bad thing for it and that he was prob paid to do this.  I find it interesting he is now no longer posting.  And the one bully on here being unchecked was enough for most of us.  It's sad as I and many others enjoyed this site for so long.  But without some direction on an Internet site it's gonna be a mess. 

    If posting this gets me banned when the bully stops his feet I guess so be it.  Hopefully some others will come over and join the other site and would be welcomed.  It's a breath of fresh air and as I said before you can be members of both it's not a contest.  And although some talk about this site and the old days the vast majority moved on and are not worried about what happens here anymore.  Been 2 years since I signed in, prob be 2 years before I do again. Whats sad is about an hour of work by the owner and it could be what it once was.  People reaching out to others on this site to join is because they still want to interact with them and miss their content and character.  An invite is not a bash to this site it's a - hope you come over there too!.  The bully on this site that is always negative and hates everyone likes it just fine the way it is now cause he doesn't get any pushback anymore.  Silencing others is more about that person than the 95% of people that left that really didn't want to. An hour of the owners time apparently isn't worth it to fix it. Good luck folks hope the site keeps rolling on for you.  See you in a couple years.  Maybe.... Lol. 

    All you have to do is look at these two pics below of the people with the most reputation and the most content and they are all basically gone -says about everything.

    Looks like he got 1/2 his genes from that monster 4 point you had there a couple years ago.  That was a cool buck as well

    The final decision here is bailing.  Got rest of the week off except for W.  All I need is to shoot one in 70 degree temps and it doesn't go right down. Rain coming in and hopefully bigger bucks on the move tomorrow.  Going to keep my stink out of the woods today for what looks like a great day tomorrow.

    Hunt #21.  Dark -9:15.  Scrapetree.  

    Only saw a fisher cross the trail.  Left early cause too much tree surfing and direction changed and too much up the trail I'm watching.  And crazy warm.  Prob not back out til Monday as Sunday looks like a washout. But Monday looks great and I have it off. Prob am all day sit or at least most of it.

    So I will give an update full in my journal later but just wanted to update
    Hit a big ass buck shoulder last night. Dog tracked today and had good blood for a while. Dog tracker for 8-900 yards and deer never bedded. We both think he has a high chance of making it. I did 5 more miles after the tracker left. Beat but not knocked out.

    That sucks but sure sounds like he made it which is some consolation. Hope you see him again
