Some thoughts on S-B.com

[chris L]

this is my first time here . seems like a nice place maybe i will sit back , put up my feet order a joint ( new law working ) and sit back and watch the festivities .


FB is a joke . lots of internet hero's and braggarts . smart phones too have killed fishing . don't forget them ! even though a majority have them . I'm a network engineer for a major university ( that's what they tell us to say ) and i still have a flip phone . Best part of meetings is when I place my pad , pen and flip phone on the conference table . The looks are the funniest ever . I laugh at them . Everyone else has their laptop , tablet or 2 and smart phone .

Oh well I find it funny .
ok back to just sitting and watching and having a good smoke .

Oh yeah i came here to say something ........... Hello

See, our conversation brought one of the true originals out of the woodwork. When I first started here, I used to find my landlord (of my restaurant) on my recent calls . I thought I was calling him in my sleep. I really did not like him. I pretty much like everybody, so that's a strong sentiment from me. I was about to confront him for messing with my phone and then realized that he and Chris share the same name. Yup, it was me calling chrisL. The restaurant turned me into a real vindictive bastard. Chris has always done his best to help minimize my vindictiveness. I'm still a bastard.

I agree. Names I've never seen or maybe seen once have posted here. SO.....
You "lurkers" need to be more vocal so we know you are out there.

Think about this:

The more traffic John came verify, the more advertisers he can get to buy space on the site and thus, the better chance of the site surviving. The guy doesn't make any money here as it is.

OK, later, I'm goin' fishing. I'll see Clammer someplace.

There must be a dozen of these exact threads "what has happened to S-B" "Where's everyone gone"
The downfall of this once primarily (and for the most part) surf-casting website is the general attitude of the regular posters. It's marshal law/majority rules, plus the constant barrage of people bitching about any pic of a dead bass. Even when someone posts that they had a great time catching and releasing schoolies, the very next post is about how they should be "taking it easy on the little guys"...
The only ones left are the old guys who come here every day, the people who come here to argue in the political forum and the dooms day moratorium preppers ready to pounce on any wrongdoing/ spotburning/ photoshopping/ etc..



People who don't like Facebook either don't understand it, think big brother is out to get them or have simply allowed too many arseholes in their friends list.
Facebook is how you make it, That's the allure. Hell even some guys I'm friends with in real life I have to un-follow because of their constant political/gun-rights/anti-Obama/anti-government BS.

That is pretty much my feelings also. The only other thing I would add is that it seems like if you don't personally know people here, you're not going to get welcomed in. I've been lucky that I know some of the folks here as I met them fishing or at events over the years.
