I wasn't around in the SB.com "glory days", but I can tell you, that as a 33 year old fishing nut, this site has been a god send! People like Nightfighter, Tysdad, slipknot, piemma and proff m, spincognito...etc have all gone out of their way to give me advice I believe I can't find anywhere else, at least not without being made to feel stupid for asking new guy questions. So, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. Yes I have facebook, but it isn't as much fun getting 56 "likes" on striped bass pictures when the questions are "is that a shark?", or "nice cod". The people here understand, and even though there's little pissing contests every now and then, this has been the most inviting site I've had the privilege to find. So don't go anywhere anytime soon guys, I have lots more questions, pictures to post to make piemma bust on, and people to invite to fish with.

Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. ~Paul Schullery
There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process. ~Paul O'Neil, 1965

I think, it's a little of everything above...there's only so ,many ways to say things with out beating it to death.. this web site is busier than alot of them, even though most of the members fish and reside in new England, take a look over on NE sportsman... I think the salt water section hasn't seen a post since April...Stripers 247 is all but dead,.. everything in life is cyclical... I feel internet web sites are not exempt to that...

I still stop by, usually first thing in the morning and then at the end of the day. If work ever blocks this type of forum I would be here less
IDK, some of the really good conent of years past has dwindled, the "how to's" and with some many folks paranoid about access and spots, the "where to's" have disappeared all together.
How to get it back? How about a forum titled "This Week's Best (or worst) Experience". Personally, what I enjoy most these days (since I already know it all and where to fish  ) is the detailed stories that are sometimes posted that capture the fishing/catching experiences that we encounter. A fish pic is cool, but how you fooled her and under what conditions is what really interests me.

Maybe a thread where you can post a pic, and a little description on how you enticed her to eat your hook. Fish porn is always good in my opinion, regardless of how big.
