I don't know how you'd come up with guidelines for using it, but it would be nice to have a spot where people could post samples of their writing and arts and crafts. There are some skilled folks here and though somewhat infrequently posted, I've really enjoyed reading the poetry, fiction, stories about people's experiences (like fishing the blizzard) or when people write about fishing legends. Think of all the "good reads" that have been posted after things people have written and shared. I also like when people post fishing related photos, be it old ones, pictures of wood carvings they've done, or like "shingle art" (that was great) or lighthouses, shipwrecks that appear, sunsets, sand dunes, Eben's glass creations, fish foodies people have plated, what have you. Any kind oif art for that matter. I wouldn't suggest plug photos since that forum is good as it is, nor pictures of fish caught because they belong in the Striper forum, but like I said, stuff that's more aesthetically pleasing to the ear and eye.

What about a carpool section. With the price of gas it might get some action, and allow fellow sb'ers to meet up. I like the raffle idea also. Gives people a chance to score some good stuff they otherwise wouldnt be able to afford with the excess cash going to the bossman.

another idea would be a section with articles writen and submitted from members.. maybe even some funny stories.
Seems we have a some authors on here maybe a place they can post a chapter to two as teasers for people to buy thier book and to give us some helpful info..

I wouldn't change a thing.It's a respectable site the way it is.Maybe add a link to Paypal so people can donate to the site if they want to.

Some sort of store/auction page. Some of the guys who have plugs and arent selling them make some of the nicest ones I have ever seen, and it would be cool if they posted them for sale or whatever on the site, and John would get a percentage to keep the site running. I know setting up a small online store is somewhat time consuming, but it is very cheap. The only problem i see is how to get the different sellers the money. Paypal prolly has a solution for that. Just a thought

When you wish upon a Gar
How about a Classifieds sectuion with the comments LOCKED OUT so that Diggleberries can not degrage posts in the proverbial rodents orface with derogatory replies to classfied Ad Posts.
How about a Monthly Giveaway of something Sportsmen related? (Ill donate a nice Codfish Zippo for the first prize)
How about a realtime chart section where you can enter your NOAA Chart number and a lighted dot will show where fish species currently are. Green dot, Mackeral , Blue Dots Bluefin, Yelow dotsFlounder, Striped Dot Stripers, etc....etc....

Walt - reply to your PM
I agree Brian - we have a good crew here with (I'm told) less than average amount of BS. What I don't want to do is make the site less community driven, but more community driven. Not change for the sake of change, just make it a bit better... |

I too must defend the moderator comments. It is a learning process and if anyone thinks you get the same from the site once "given the keys"...well let me just say its not all bubblegum and candy when your just browsing the site to make sure there are no out of control flame wars going on while you were at work all day.
When the site was new I met some of the original members but have not met many since. Often times I must read through an entire 45 post thread before coming to a conclusion as to edit or not. Why? because there are many little friendships and enemies around here. Its often hard to know if people are busting stones with their buds or seriously having a beef with each other. Quite frankly I dont know enough people here to know which is which and I am not about to start keeping a notebook on it either.
What offends one may not offend another. 50% will be upset if you delete and 50% will be upset if you dont. Those are the facts.
Maybe I should let the ax fly like so many seem to want. How do you all think it would go over if I deleted anything and everything that bothered me about a "hottie" thread? If I so much as make a move there I would be crucified by the masses......
Its impossible to get it right everytime. Sorry to dissapiont.

John.
It's pretty good the way it is.
More freedom to share info b.c you aren't selling your own gear. I think sponsors get a lot of press from the site, so the occasional link to a sale or something is a good thing, and isn't instantly banned....
I think there is a lot more childish BS other places on the web.
Lets keep it the way it is here!

I like BigFish's idea.
How about taking it one step further with incorporated podcasts or something. Have one night a month where some of the more experienced guys sit around and talk about fishing structure, certain plugs, whatever, and record it and attach it as an audio file?
Tackle reviews are good too. Plug reviews, etc.

A lot less jealousy and hate would be a good start.  How can ya share info and show your sucess if the whole crew jumps down your throat??
Some moderators with balls would help too,,,  (I'll volunteer)
I've heard one too many times mods say they should have, could have but DIDN'T... WTF good is that....??? 
Not tryin' to offend anyone..just being honest....  |
