Is S-B.com losing popularity???

[luds]

I don't think so. This site has always been streaky. I'm hiding out so I don't spew to much negativity. This weather bummed me out.

John, sounds like SB has some correlation to the stock market... you might be able to make a buck on this

Been wonderin what happened to you.
You refilled the nearly empty gas tank here with your great post a few weeks ago, then disappeared.....at least you put up a fish though.....


People come, people go.
Definately lacking "new blood". been good to see a few new names posting and chatting.

I monitor all the sites, mostly only post here, and the thing I have always appreciated about this site:
1- it isn't convoluted with questions about "what rod/ what reel" questions over and over. There aren't 10 pages of drivle to sort through to every post within 10 minutes.
2- it isn't split up into a million different little board sections. less to weed through.
3- its more local than say NJ, MD, etc...
4- we talk about other things than just fishing/ catching/ "spot burning"
5- we don't crucify people with 10 pages of hate responses to posts.(well, most of the time)
6- we have a wide range of people, from people new to fishin, to people that slam supa cows all the time (Kenny) that are all willing to openly contribute.
7 - easy to navigate
8- most are pretty thick skinned, so you can bust chops with people
9- we have a striper cup team
10- John is wicked cool.
(just had to make up the last 2 with something so my list could be 10 items long.

I have been posting a lot more since I got this crappy job. Helps pass the time. USed to not be able to spend as much time on here as I get to now.

In my six+ years since joining I have not noticed the site losing popularity. Despite my low post-count I still visit just about every day, in season or not. Of course my job has me in front of this puter enough of the day to freely slip in and out of here.

I have met and fished with several of you guys and appreciate the knowledge gained for everything S-B.

Shi ttt... here comes the boss... gotta go...

Hey! I'm a new guy that posts a bit and is really enjoying the site. I absolutely hate facebook and twitter etc. I just want to hear/learn/post about fishing. This site works for me because it is helpful and friendly(to a point!) which is how it should be- I'm a grumpy, sarcastic, evil guy and I can appreciate the same in others but I enjoy that this site is more about building a community of like minded people, keeping the sport going, informing everyone about issues that effect our sport AND just goofin' around and ribbin' each other. It's a good mix. I also like that there are get-togethers in the real world based on meeting on this site. Since I missed the last one, I suggest we try a few more(maybe one in RI before it gets too cold to hang out in a parking lot drinkin' beer and shootin' the s#*t. (is it ever too cold for that?!) Or maybe a meet the new guys at a local watering hole night... My goal in life is to be an olde-thyme surfcaster sharpie-salt, a throwback to a more civilized era and I feel that I'm on my way with the help of this site!(if I can keep the cursing to myself.) Cheers and keep up the good work John, et al!
