OTC started a good thread. I think we have just one Troll left now and when a Troll resorts to using Biblical references, you know they are down and out desperate. Most any Biblical statement can be twisted to evil by a sneaky serpent in the grass Troll and refuted by most all rational eyes open Human.
In Romans 12: 20, St Paul says, 'if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads. So is it shun or feed?
Life is Good! and dang this modern invention of A/C is nice. Anyone out there hit the woods lately? Spider webs are becoming rampant! Pro Tip… I tie strap two tall sticks on either side of the four wheeler front rack and that keeps em from getting in your face.
OTC,you have hit the nail on the head with this thread.
I have been around a long time use to post frequently, but over the last couple of years I’ve been reading and man there is some BS going on.
I only post when I feel I can contribute.
All the folks on here that I have met over the years have been genuine and overall good people.
When Bonzo did the oyster roast for the members of this site,we all had a good time. Maybe that’s what is needed now. IDk.
Not enough of us made it to the meeting today, it was postponed until tomorrow at 1300.
Labor Day, Families, Other Obligations,who knows.
One thing is for sure, I don’t know how many answers I will get, but I plan on bringing the very things mentioned in this thread to the attention of all in attendance tomorrow.
We haven’t had a Owner/Admin/Staff meeting all at once since I signed on. It should be an eye opener.
Keep your fingers crossed guys, and don’t let the likes of RBF and the slurp crew spin it any other way than reality. It’s all he’s done of late.
Gonna laugh when EF’er gets fired tomorrow… He’ll deny and lie about it not happening as usual… EF’er has already been demoted once, and is currently on a PIP…
Honest to God, my right hand on the Holiest of Books,I don’t think I have ever seen one guthooked so bad, and then gaffed in the face and thrown in the igloo slurry over a week ago still flop around and gasp for air.
I’ve seen mudders last a week in a semi dry bait bucket, but nothing like this.
Stuff like that gives me wood, just so you know. I’m literally bouncing up and down in my chair LOL’ing.
EF’er is venting because he got dominated again as usual by RBF… Sounds like he is humping his mutt pup Shunkey in his favorite chair to relieve his pent up aggression over the embarrassment suffered…
Y’alll know cleaning up the act in the most active forums on this sight (political and Off topic) is not going to bring back the glory of the actual meat and potatoes of a fishing sight. Just look at the activity on all fishing threads. The sight has jumped the shark and with all the social media avenues to follow and the fact this sight is a pain in the butt to use… you have about a 10% chance of being able to start a new thread, everything is slow, and posting pics is do able, but a pain. Getting rid of Trolls and the use of a moderator will help, but it’s gonna need a lot more. Also take a look at the hunting section, used to be one of my favorites… Dead.
Why would anyone wanting to share some beautiful pics of a productive day on this sight with the difficulty level only to be trolled? Even the Cooking section has been overrun. Our Offshore section is Only the most determined to “show off” are doing it currently, instead of those that used to do it to promote friendship, knowledge, and build relationships. imo.
Was out Sunday in the Broad and got a couple pics of Tarpon breaking the surface in a Huge school of bait, and then the dolphin came in. I don’t tarpon fish, but I know a few that do, I was gonna share the location for anyone wanting to give it a try. I tried to make a thread to share such a neat scene… wasn’t happening… so I gave up. I’m assuming this is the biggest downfall to this sight. Never cast a line, but had a fantastic day on the water and sand bar, wasted a bunch of hot dog buns on the seagulls.
Yes, Fred, CF is all but gone for the reasons cited.
There has been too much damage done by the trolls,
uncaring owners and the staff’s clumsy attempts to right
the ship.

In my opinion its easy to see the degradation of this site. I have been on her a long time and used to look forward to signing on, seeing some fish caught, learning a new recipe or just regular sportsmen enjoying each others tales. Now its just a bunch of keyboard heroes constantly bashing each other.
When you have a fishing site that has hunting, boating, shrimping, cooking, and trading forum and the Political forum is the most active… we have failed as sportsmen. I for one hope something is done to restore this site.

I think it’s too late Striker, after the meeting today I am pretty sure this place is in hospice. More on that in another thread later tonight after I do a little more investigating…then I can tell everyone what I now know. It’s not good.
But first, for what it’s worth I wanted to explain my “clumsy attempt to right this ship” to you mr. Sternline and mr. striker, as I too had high hopes at one time. But those times are all but gone, you can thank the likes of RBF for that. Not him alone, but primarily him alon
I don’t see any reason for any insults Personal or group. It hurts everyone here by ruining the site. As I have said before I have said some things that I regret, and I agree to pay attention to the good and the bad and follow the pathway that will help grow this site .
Please read: do not respond to the political forums trouble makers that spew filth and sewage with their name calling and constant insults. It feeds their sickness and harms this site as EF and others have noted Please maintain the shun
I have to disagree with ya EF. Looks like we both dislike how RBF has been left unchecked. And there is the answer. It is not the RBF’S of this sight or anyone like myself that can not stand idly ignoring someone bullying others or out right spewing garbage and lies. The blame falls fully on the new ownership and lack of moderators. If you have an online sight you may as well be prepared for and dispatch the RBF’s, then screen new sign on names looking for aliases to continue the Trolling.
Even husband and wife argue, does anyone think we all will agree with each other? Of Course not, and that’s a good thing IMO. When you have a person post a nice pic of a fish or outing and some jack leg has azzhat comments, let the moderators remove them. Got to have more than one to keep things unbiased.
EF-
I apologize for my “clumsy” comment. I thought the “Staff” were the owners
and you were a moderator. Your attempts to preserve CF are worthy of high praise.
My bad, I should have known better.
