Less commercial builder spam, they have the sponsors section, stay there. No offense but I always thought that the plug building thread as a place to learn and share both knowledge and pics of what one has accomplished by visiting and joining in by just guys/girls doing it for the enjoyment not profit. There is nothing wrong with profiting but the sponsors area is made for that. No spam thank you mam.
I would also like to see an archive page that you could go to not only for the written (typed) word but members pics of pluggage specifically. That would be nice. You know all pics by Numbskull or tagger or Chumbucket in one place in a collection, no words just pics.

Why even try.........

that wood be pretty to see, but on the flip side it would also give the up and coming comm. builder a fine place to see styles ,colors,types, sizes of plugs..OH! I like that one , maybe I'll add it to my new line.As well as getting pm's wanting to buy them ,,, |

I'm a hobbiest when it comes to building plugs but have to say that there will always be those that take advantage of a good thing no matter what and we should not punish all those others willing to learn
because of a few unscrupules people.Keep the info comming cause i still need help.I'm just like Tagger i'll be ready to sell plugs in the year 2017 till then i need to pick all of your brains.  Ohh and Tagger if ya ever need a partner  LMAF |

How about ... "Plug of the Month".... Has to be a pic posted that month and Poll voting to pic a winner . At the end of the year there should be 12 entrys for" Plug of the Year ". Again Poll voting so public is involved and the winner wins a prize . Prize could be a plug builders dream box ,, contents would be like lips,eyes,weights,hooks, equal to a certain amount like $100.00 or they could just take the 100... Or all 12 entrys could be auctioned off and winner takes all .. If you don't want in but still want to post just state your plug is not an entry .. This would get the pics and forum rolling .. not to mention bragging rights ..

a sub section
where certain plugs are to be traded individually ....
that would generate some interest.  |

Sorry Karl Fahhrvral, I likey  - regardless of how OTW handles their POM, perhaps here, a poll where people could vote once per month would be a way to go and fair. I don't think it would be spam at all. We'd need some rules too. Must be member for 6 months (stop some drivebys)? Commercial or not can be discussed? Win once your out for entering for 6 months, Lots of good ideas could be done on this...
Of course, I would need to validate plug winners... |

I don't think we need to drive off the commerical guys. These guys add a lot of quality and experience to the site. Their input has helped me a lot and I enjoy seeing what they are working on. Guys like Scott, Mac, Bernzy, Don, and Ryan obviously love plugs. If you love plugs and are willing to help others, you should feel welcome here.

And in between these two is the balance that we want to find regarding "commercial" builders

Sportyguy - I don't know you and I'm not sure how on the level you are. What I do know is that there is a swarm of, well, uncertainty around your status here, and some of that is based on your, uhh, history on the "other" site. What I don't want to see is you using these boards to spam for personal gain. What I think some of the member builders that have been here for a while may feel is that you are trying to shortcut much of the builders learning curve. You haven't been building plugs that long, right?
Someone want to PM me the Sportsters link?
Thanks.... |

well if the shoe fits .... ..
ok boys and girls, from now on everyone please speak the truth |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

More plugs, less  Those who don't get the message   Its a sure way to drive folks away from a cool site.
To some extent, I agree with Flaptail. Seeing some of the one off stuff that commercal guys do   no problem with that. Everyone enjoys some plug porn and these guys can do some good stuff  The "look what I just made and will be selling next week  " should stay on the sponser forum.
Some good ideas from some of the gang that are being addressed, so I'll
