The NJ Forum is so so. A lot of begginers on there asking for help. Most of it is nonsense though. I don't read that Ask Fish thing. Most of it is stuff I really don't care about. I'll toss my two cents in on general topics like Soft plastics or interline rods but I keep my nose out of the NJ questions. Don't want to alienate people. lol That is quite an impressive tackle shop though. That's where I get my snoopy bobbers and Zebco spincasters.
Now that Daignault guy. Bahhh... It's not so much him that bothers me, it's his forum groupies. People ask the most inane crap I have ever read. Questions that anyone that has been the least bit successful could answer. In my opinion, his forum should be used for questions about his writings. No one but him could answer those questions.
But people insist on writing in about how to fish beach structure, casting a conventional and landing a big fish in the surf. Anyone with experience in that area could answer the questions but if you do before Frank, he gets all mad and whines like a baby. Those questions belong in the Main Forum. If Frank decides to grace the thread with his presence, and put his spin on it, fine. Let's not act like he is the only one who can spot a sandbar. Other than that, Frank comes off a little conceited. If he is or not, I don't care, but if he doesn't realize his tone, he isn't too skilled in writing.
That site is so burnt. Even Bobbo doesn't post on there.
As for SOL, I do sorta miss it. A lot of good topics I would have liked to have jumped on. That last vote, I don't know about that. I would have liked a recount and I think we should have counted the pregnant chads. Those butterfly ballots can be a little tricky.
Anyways, nothing I can do about that. I wrote Tim a few emails about random stuff but no response. <shrug> If they got deleted or I know you guys had some problems with the server change I dunno. I would be interested to see what the outcome of the new vote would be.
