Poor Bonzo, you don't remember the old site, do you? This site actually ran for a year or two and you didn't even have to log in. You could put whatever username you wanted. Those were the days...

I remember the j from about 99. Yep, register a username with no e-mail.

I’m pretty new here and live far away where I don’t really post too much but would like to add to this conversation. It’s been my experience that communicating behind the keyboard we lose a lot simply because we cannot see or hear the emotions connected to the words. What one person types while smiling and laughing, another person reads as disrespect or anger. Words can be easily flipped and changed to steer towards a desired response, look at politics, the media, advertising, this is what they do for a living. I caution people from flying off the handle when they see something typed. My experience with another fishing board is that when the people get together in person it is a completely different atmosphere than what is perceived to take place online. Many of you have become good friends because of this site, however if you relied only on what was typed I doubt those relationships would’ve developed as much. Except for Penny, that girl can express through words better than most.

What does being 6’-3" and 230 have to do with handling words all day?

my guess - It makes him giggle inside knowing full well that 99% of the people wont talk to him in person like they do on the web… even the ones that say they will.

I know that no one talks to me in real life like some do on the web.

I thought it meant a smaller man couldn’t handle all the words.

I have no problems with screwing with folks and having them screw back. I have to wonder about someone when they have to resort to profanity and nasty names to get their point across. I draw the line at PM’s sent calling you a name or threatening you(yes, I got one like that). With all that being said, if the screwer and the screwee are okay with it, so be it. Like Bonzo, I have found the ignore feature to be a great way to make sure I do not accidentally read some posts I’d prefer not to.

I don’t really think things have gotten to the point where Andy needs to hire hall monitors.

I don't get my feelings hurt or feel intimidated by words is what I was going for. I don't have the little guy complex and feel like I need to threaten people over this internet forum or any other. I see so many people threaten others over stupid things being said over the interweb. I imagine all the tough talkers being 5ft 5 and 130 lb little guys. I do not think I have seen anyone threaten anyone on this site before, though.

We all know you are tough jughead and i understand what you are saying, but that is how people act toward you. He said he can handle the words. Thats different.

It was the same website with a different forum software running... Once we moved to this software, we all had to re-register. So, charlestonfishing.com was actually operational before the first registration dates listed.
