All the negativity and rampant douschbaggery suddenly stopped and no one wonders how it was accomplished?
Well, it wasn’t No Thread Thursday nor the Shun. Ha, even ol’ OTC and Fred thought I was full of schitt and said as much. I hope you are happier now, and I say that in all honesty.
So anyway, you have your site back. If you continue to let the bulk of the conversations remain in the political arena, well, you get what you deserve. You can’t depend on Whats-his-names daughter to keep out fishing and out shooting you if this place is to last either. Just my 2 cents.
I’ve done what I can for this place, and accomplished what I came here to do. If (more likely when) they come back you now have some tools to deal with them, use them wisely. Don’t let it get out of hand again with the bullies and schitt-slingers, it’s up to each of you to sweep up every now and again, keep this place clean if you will.
Dude, your last post was 2 months ago in the Political forum and you ***** about the bulk of conversations in Politics? I think OTC and myself balance our comments all over this sight. You do realize there has never been more than a handful on the Political forum in the last couple of years, including the rabble raisers.
Just curious, what is it that you have done? What are these “tools” you refer to?
I’ll ride this sight to it’s grave, most likely. Unless you have the ability to get the owners to make it simple for an outdoorsman/woman to quickly post a pic from a phone to this sight the only members that are going to take the time to do it are those advertising something, or pushing a Youtube video. We’ve had a couple of neat hunting pics and 23 put up a good one in boats and motors. I just don’t understand what happened to all the other posts in that section. Kind of like freshwater fishing, we had some fantastic discussions and pics… All gone. Don’t be like the others blaming Politics for the decline in this sight. That’s just B.S.
“ RBF aka Shunkey, Porch Dick, John Weaver, quite frankly you are full of schitt. In my opinion you are primarily to blame for the degradation of this particular fishing website. You dilute this place with your incessant desire to be relevant by posting constantly whatever cut and paste cartoon or quip you dig up only God knows where just to be "heard". It really must be miserable where you are, if not for you then for those around you.” EF 4/27/21
Hey DF, you can only start a new thread BEFORE you post on any other thread.
If you want to post a new thread it has to be done first thing that day, also you can only put up one new one per day, it seems. Tends to let me get by like this. I was going to start a thread about it but I already replied in a topic, so I’ll try to do so tomorrow. One dumbazz way to run a site if you ask me.
And Fred, I appreciate your tenacity, OTC as well. You guys keep up the good work. And if EF got RBF banned, that’s nothing to be proud of to me. I don’t care how one aligns politically, unless you make things personal, cancel culture isn’t the answer to anything. Anyway, I digress… Y’all have a good one!

Why does everyone think I “Got RBF Banned”? Nothing could be further from the truth and just goes to show what happens when conjecture and misinformation from a few here is gobbled up like free samples of schitty food at Cosco to the rest. Not once did I ever say RBF nor any of the other soapbox curmudgeons should be banned. Now once again here I am getting a virtual finger shaken at me and more misinformation being fed by conjecture.
I came back here earlier this year because I was bored from lockdown due to the plague. My stated intent was to try my best and to do my part to somehow put this place back on the path it was on when I enjoyed coming here years ago. I never said nor did anything at all that was not in pursuit of that stated intent. Truth be told, none of you should either, but that’s not ever gonna happen.
Almost immediately I saw the way RBF and a couple other posters were not only being bad for business and standing in the way of my stated intent, but running off valuable fishermen and their information. Because of his on-line persona (for gods sake, he named himself dick head and strove to live up to it) I did a lot of things to curtail his behavior. Most of them were effective at slowing his roll, the rest of them were LOL, but those are stories for another day.
That being said, I never once advocated for them to be banned, only that their behavior should be curtailed. Prove me wrong. Go ahead, I got all day.
In the meantime let me shine a little more light on the darkness that encompasses this place anymore. A few months ago I finally got what I thought was going to be a virtual meeting with the new admin,remember I told you guys about it. The video confer
I like the people here but, the site sucks and the folks that own it should sell it to someone that gives a crap. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear that somewhat like the current administration and this country, they are trying trying to ruin this site.

Stump I took EF wrong as well, I assumed by the several comments and the “big” meeting in which things would change EF really did get RBF banned. I may have my differences, but I have never advocated for anyone to be banned. While I have a hard time ignoring things, it is what is need in many cases.
EF, ya gotta admit, you do get very vague on many posts. Now we know, you didn’t get anyone banned. Good for you. So what did you do?
On the Previous admin, you could actually have a correspondence both public and through Pm’s. Andy gave me a lot of insight to a couples piss ant internet persona and a total different look at them away from the sight. I get having an alias log in name… in my case it’s an old nickname and nothing to hide. To a few it’s used to hide everything so they can troll. IMO. No question DN, the old admin would have banned several the new admin overlooked.
I remember a thread a few years back… (searched and could not find it) where I believe Mrs. Penfish (or someone) asked why we used the names we do. Richard (dik) Beer Froth (Head).
