Hmmmm. You berate JBR for being negative, yet you offered nothing positive and lots of negatives in your first post. I respectfully suggest you take your advice to "try to think more positive and see 'the cup half full' and good things will happen" in regards to this new format and try to make the NCFFB more of the type of BB you seem to want. You can ask fly fishing questions, post fly fishing suggestions or tips, or make a post on a fly fishing issue that is important to you. Or, you can submit an article on any fishing subject you would like for the front page.
If you have constructive criticism of the current format, we are always ready to listen and try to implement changes to make it easier for folks. However, just complaining about it doesn't do much good, and it makes those who have worked very hard to keep this bulletin board going (free of charge and advertisements) feel like they have wasted their efforts.
I am looking forward to your future contributions.
