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....

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.

Simplify.......

Chris....it's not about HAVING a hottie thread....that doesnt bother me and I try to be understanding to the fact that its a "guy thing" but does some of the conetent bother me? Sometimes....

My point was more making an example of whats to be expected from moderating and the point that no one will (or can be) the perfect moderator!
