Is S-B.com losing popularity???

wait, you can't catch oceanic white tips from shore?

I'm pretty sure I fit in the previously identified category of argumentative dummies from NJ with lousy attitudes, but that really isn't the reason I joined here. I immediately liked the ease of navigating the forums, I like the knowledge and humor imparted here, many of the contacts I've made, and I like that the site overall is well managed and not overwhelming. I mostly lurk here and am on all day, every day I'm at work. It's like a form of therapy being able to step away during the day.

I come to this site because John doesn't give out infractions

to be honest, I suck at fishing, no forum will help me there. What I do like here is different mentality of people. Its almost like a clubhouse, friendly ribbing with a lot of respectful conversations. Some forums are so vicious ,you feel they would criticize Mother Teresa if she came back from the grave.
Is popularity down? Possibly. I don’t think we are looking at this the right way though
Originally every striper nut joined the forums, it was a way to converse, to bull%$%$%$%$ and talk fish. But that was a LOT of people. Now people drop off and are replaced by fresh faces. I don’t think there will ever be enough new fresh faces to make the same type of impact initial surge has created.
I like coming here, its like coming home after dealing with strangers.....plus not too many Yankee fans helps

Frankly I am not a fan of face book or any of the social stuff, I find that much to distracting and unnecessary to broadcast my every thought to every friend and friend of friends...it's silly. My kids are into it but I find it a waste of time .

I like sites like this because it is focused.

Jimbo its not that they think all Jersey-ites are argumentative and dumb.....just some! Besides.....they have domestic dummies like myself here so really no need to get any out of state help in that regard!!!

johnr define a major ?

having beer here a long time..... and quite addicted

i have found that S-B has had a detrimental affect
on how often i fish....due to living thru other's (vicariously) fishing
adventures instead of making my own...on the one hand....

but it increased my learning of ART which was fun for awhile
but i have largely abandoned that in the last year or so

Yet, i have learned a great deal about plug making and continue
to learn saltwater concepts which i have yet to put into practice.

S-B for me has become my facebook over time because the cast
of characters many of whom i have met continue to entertain me.
