Not to high jack this tread and this has been mentioned on another thread but,John you've created a great site,this site has a solid group of guys that I've fished,partied,worked for/with and had a ton of laughs thanks for the good times



Thanks John.
Well said. I spend more time fishing with people from this site than I spend hanging out with friends who aren't on the site. I've met lots of people I now consider good friends through this site.

I think part of what has changed, besides all the other social media sites people are now on, is the lack of new members who regularly contribute. Maybe it's the perception that we're not very welcoming or it's too clique for them? I don't know, but when I joined way back when, I was a lurker for a long time. Then I realized that there were a lot of good discussions that welcomed differing opinions without it getting too nasty. That made it easier for me to jump in and contribute.

That being said, I really only come on the site to look at Kate Upton pictures anyways.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
