The funniest part is that you don't even realize what a dumbass you are.
That's funny, after reading this post I was thinking the same about you.
If you are truly friends why not call each other?
We do call each other. What does that have to do with anything?
Seems to me that being friends you would know each others fishing spots/styles, etc.
What are you trying to say here? Again, what does this have to do with anything?
Thats basically like going to a bar and bitching because somebody else is playing on you and your buddies pool table.
I don't see the parallel between this and what Doug said in his post. WTF are you trying to say?
Or did you all bomb in, fork up some feeshing sites, and then bail to be elitests?
I've read this several times and have no clue as to what you are trying to say here either.
Did the private board people(and I gag while saying that) create the NCFFB when it was still jeff's chico deal? Funny cause in those days there were only about 5-10 people and it took a week to get a dozen posts.
Again, what does this have to do with anything and what's the point you are trying to make? Your whole post is a convoluted mess. If you have a point you want to make perhaps you could try again?

A true trout bum is one who has commitments and responsibilities but won't give in. He doesn't run away to escape them, he just ignores them and goes fishing.......

I don't understand 18 Years, 2 Months ago
|

Doug, everyone on this board who atually knows you knows that you're a stand-up guy. I don't understand the need to explain anything about your board to anyone. However, I, and probably many other folks, appreciate your doing so.
I have a vivid imagination  and I'm certain your board could never live up to they way I imagine it to be, given its members. I could be wrong about that though.
Nevertheless, I will disregard your explaination and keep my ignorant and absurd ideas of what goes on at your board if you don't mind. |

"Rivers course through my dreams, rivers cold and fast, rivers well-known and rivers nameless, rivers that seem like ribbons of blue water twisting through wide valleys, narrow rivers folded in layers of darkening shadow, rivers that have eroded down deep in a mountain's belly, sculpted the land, peeled back the planet's history exposing the texture of time itself."
— Harry Middleton (Rivers of Memory)
"Each night as I haul myself onto the back of county garbage truck no. 2, there is a familiar wind, some thread of moonglow or starlight, a splatter of dark rain on my skin, something that stirs my memory, and again, if even for a brief moment, I am on some mountain river, some stretch of bright water, full of possibilities, including the possibility of trout, perhaps one that, when hooked, will haul me in and out of time, in and out of life's mysterious and frightening, wondrous and incomprehensible continuum, even to the edges of the universe." -- Harry Middleton

So according to your way of thinking, folks who have similar interests shouldn't use efficient methods to communicate among themselves...ever hear of a organization...say a fly fishing club, a labor union, or professional organization having a private member's bulletin board? I belong to at least eight organizations (including two flyfishing clubs) who have a member's only (private) area/section available through the internet for communication...isn't an exchange of information the reason the the internet was originally established...what's wrong with that?
Sheesh,
Paul

Been awhile since I paid a lot of attention to this board. Wrecked my shoulder and put down the flyrod for awhile. Don't claim to know much about this pissing match. I think some of the posters are a bit premature in shoveling dirt on NCFFB's grave. I too remember when I first stumbled on the Chico site and watched as Greg took this place into a whole new world. Many folks have come and gone. The board has changed and will continue to evolve. There is no finite number of fly fishers. Newbies will come in and a new culture will form. If other boards spin off this one so be it. Hope to see some of you at the bash....Dave Kirby

A few things you need to know about me:
I has been known to cure narcolepsy, just by walking into the room. My organ donation card, also lists my beard. I'm a lover, not a fighter, but I'm also a fighter, so don’t get any ideas. When it is raining, it is because I'm sad. Even my parents’ advice is insightful. If there were an interesting gland, mine would be larger than most men’s entire lower intestines. My shirts never wrinkle. I am left-handed. And right-handed. Even if I forget to put postage on my mail, it gets there. I once knew a call was a wrong number, even though the person on the other end wouldn’t admit it. You can see my charisma from space. The police often question me, just because they find me interesting. I once punched a magician. That’s right. You heard me. When I order a salad, I get the dressing right there on top of the salad, where it belongs…where there is no turning back. If a monument was built in my honor, Mt. Rushmore would close, due to poor attendance. My beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man’s entire body. My blood smells like cologne. On every continent in the world, there is a sandwich named after me. I don't believe in using oven mitts, nor potholders. My cereal never gets soggy. It sits there, staying crispy, just for me. My pillow talk is years ahead of it’s time. Respected archaeologists fight over my discarded apple cores. I have always been known to rock the casba. Birds have never defecated on my car. I never rock climb with ropes, I feel they are for pussies. I once buried a time capsule full of things that haven’t happened yet. I have been pronounced dead 7 times…make that 8. My bear hugs are actually hugs I give to bears. I can’t be bought, but my beard clippings have been know to show up on ebay. I have never lost a sock. If I disagree with you, it is because you are wrong. My reputation expands faster than the universe. I once had an awkward moment, just to see what it felt like. I live vicariously through myself. Happy Hour is the hour after everyone from happy hour has left. I sleep with a night light, not because I'm afraid of the dark but the dark is afraid of me. I hold a doctorate in originality in which I teach at Harvard where no one ever passes. When I go skydiving Peregrine Falcons always trail behind me. The President of a country once took a bullet for me on a failed attempt. When I look in the mirror there's never a reflection because I am only 1 of a kind. I can defeat anyone in a game of chess without making any moves. It is rumored that James Bond movies are my real life biography. I once gave an autograph in sign language. I didn’t just taste fear… I ordered seconds of it. Restaurants offer me my usual table, even if I've never been there. Stray dogs obey my commands. The Spanish Civil War was started by two women fighting over me. Waiters Tip me. After hearing me play guitar, Hendrix decided life was not worth living. In Pamplona, the bulls run with me. I traveled to the edge of the world…and proved the world was flat. I once fought myself…and won. I took the McChicken off the dollar menu. It has been said that I beat 2 pac and biggie in a rap battle…thats why they killed each other. My tan never goes away. I painted my house with my beard. After seeing me dance…Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest. I blow a .000…after putting down a case. I went skinny dipping…with my clothes on. Hookers ask me how much? I am so elusive, I can escape anything, even black holes. When a camera points at me, it never goes out of focus. I can strangle you with a cordless phone. I went to Mars, and that is why there is no life there. When I do a pushup, I'm not lifting myself up, I'm pushing the Earth down. I don't read books, I stare them down until they give me the information I need. There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures I allow to live. It takes me 20 minutes to watch 60 Minutes. I am The Most Interesting Man In The World.

SLO,
Give the fellow a chance, listen to what he has to say...
The funniest part is that you don't even realize what a dumbass you are.
 It seems like he can't argue the facts so he makes it personal.
So your solution is to create a new website? Sweet jeevus. If you are truly friends why not call each other? Seems to me that being friends you would know each others fishing spots/styles, etc.
Thats basically like going to a bar and bitching because somebody else is playing on you and your buddies pool table. Or did you all bomb in, fork up some feeshing sites, and then bail to be elitests?
 Now, because he can't argue the facts, he offers meaningless trivial points and tries to deflect the debate into a tangent, ie: going to a bar with a pool table.
Get a life and go fishing. If you take this stuff that seriously then you have lost sight of what fishing(all types) is all about.
 Finally, since he can't argue the facts he attempts to elevate his position and make it equal with yours, ie: let's just go fishing
See, he's got all the answers. 
Petri Heil Slo,
Paul |

Thilly me! I guess I should have read it slowly to match his mental capacity. Although, I did type my reply slowly so he could keep up. I'll schedule a labodomy to level the playing field. Thank's for bringing that to my attention Paul. I've been so poor lately I've had trouble paying attention.

Jeez Bjorn, don't be a spoilsport. Let the fun continue. As you and others have said in past years, "if you're not interested, or don't like it, don't read it."
I must say that doug went out of his way to be civil and explain what his board is all about. What's instructive is to witness those who seem to be threated by it. I think some true colors are appearing.
Peace,
El Rey

I didn't have any intentions of placing blame on anyone until I saw Scott's post. It looked like he may have been suggesting that Doug had something to do with things spilling over from his board and I just wanted to set the record straight on the subject. You brought up Doug's board first and when Dawn responded it lead to the exchange between her and Doug that ended up sucking in several other folks. So yeah, now that you mention it, it was your fault.
