Is SB.com fading away???

Rob, the real problem is that with a down turn in site traffic, John will have a more difficult time getting sponsors to keep the lights on. That's why a site fades away. Here's an interesting stat: Members: 8,942, Active Members: 751

Less than 10% of the site members are active members.

I too hope the site doesn't fade away. I'd be lost. S-B.com is the only site I frequent, no FB, Twitter, etc., at all. I only access the site from work and it's up from when I get in to when I leave and though I don't even post a lot, I take in all the advice, humor, opinion, how-to, photos of people doing things I'd rather be doing in places I'd probably rather be. Few forums go unvisited. It is very much like a club. On rough days, which I seem to be having more of lately, it's also like my own private breakroom.
But if the site should fade away, would that make my S-B.com hat increase in value? I'm curious does anyone else still have one?

It's the only association where when I see an s-b sticker on a bike or a car I have no problem saying hello. Great group of guys with a lot of info. From a younger perspective. Just sayin.....

I dont go east too often due to being the best Dad I can be .

[rphud]

The point in calling him "He Who Shall Not Be Mentioned" is so that "He Who Shall Not Be Mentioned" is not mentioned....I think

[Clammer]

Chris .......take one ride east & have some fun catching tog .Its been too long for friends ><>>

theres a natural life cycle to everything... including fishing sites. lets face it, theres nothing (or virtually nothing) thats left to talk about thats really new and different. thats a part of growing older (in internet terms). I still frequent SOL, and the BST board there is a homerun if ya gotta sell something....
I think mostly because they attract new faces with little or no experience that are looking to buy gear. I do get tired of hearing about what spinning reel do I buy, or whatever....

I think some new et togethers would be great though

1. Cleanup or have the 12 or so listed sponsors update/ participate.

2. Bring back the season long tournament and the 4 leg tournament.

Have the get togethers and people will go. Folks can't get together if there isn't anything planned formally. If the chief is too busy lets get some folks who like to do this sort of planning to set up the legs, run the tourney etc. AND we can discuss this over some wings and hooters

My first interaction with anyone from this site was salt heart mentioning a gathering at weekapaugh bait and tackle. I showed up and have been heckling everyone ever since

i originally came to the site because i needed more info on how to catch fish from shore. i started tossing frozen macs with an ugly stick and drinking beer on my beach chair at night. i've come a long way but still need to learn more.

haven't seen many posts as of late about fishing technique, good plugs to try, bass behavior, new gear, etc. i learn something new every season and i'm sure most people on the site do too. i think this info may be useful to everyone.

i also consider myself to not be as seasoned as most on the site and don't initiate posts frequently unless it's a question. i lurk a lot.

Strange, that's where I'm heading.

What more? Don't confuse me.

Pure and simple, this site has HUMILITY and CHARACTER/S.

[hq2]

What it doesn't have is a------. I think that's one of the things that
wrecked Surfcaster; there were some obnoxious characters over
there that kind of messed things up. In the 10 years I've followed
this site, I've almost never seen the kind of nasty personal stuff
you see on some of the others (or maybe the moderators have
been quick to kibosh it). That's one reason it's been as good as it
has for so long. But, maybe Facebook is basically now becoming
a black hole which is pulling in all new potential posters. If so, then
this site's days are numbered. But I've sure enjoyed reading the
stuff people have put up here; informative, and often funny too.
A really good bunch of guys.

yeah I agree...maybe "clean up" and/or eliminate some of the stagnant areas like the hunting section. Good Idea at first but not much traffic....things like that. Maybe bring back the legs or at least an gathering here & there. Maybe somewhere that has a pavillion for rent, park with camping, etc.

I for one kind of miss crashing out in Weekapaug B& T parking lot in the fall with the wind cranking & rockin the truck. I swear it was always epic wind everytime I went Everyone getting together to shoot the poop and grill some grub

[Jackbass]

I will add a link to here on my FB group page. I also have a thought provoking post regarding technique I can add. Just gotta clean it up a bit.

Maybe the boss can share his vocal method for catching fish we have heard so much about

Maybe it's because of the threads I start? Facebook is for dudes that want to bang girls they went to high school with 20+ years ago. Most of which will have no chance. Or to have a bunch of friends that aren't real friends. But think they can impress their fake friends with pics of striped bass. Facebooker s can pick the corn out of my wet chit! If you haven't hung out with someone in the last 12 months or made phone contact odds are that you are not friends, never were or never will be.

Are you still a member of hermaphroditebook.com? The threads in there haven't been the same since you stopped posting.

Yes but that's a little different. FB is gayer than hermaphroditism

Posts like this don't help the site. Not even a little bit.

The circle jerk you engage in at the Cribbin' is mostly certainly "gayer" than FB

That's another place I fished only once this year. Fishing there has turned into an episode of "Sponge Bob Square Pants".
