The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Remember when all the long-time members of the board participated,
I haven't noticed many of the old time folks (I use that in a respectful way) chiming in encouragement and props for positive posts lately, or making any of their own.

The "Long Time Members' seem to be participating as much as everyone else. Here you go again blaming certain folks for the lack of participation around here. Nobody is posting much anymore, not just certain people. This place got turned on it's head and it threw everyone for a loop. Posting dropped off immediately and there just isn't much to respond to these days.


How many recent fishing reports have just disappeared down the list because either no one reads them or everyone just takes the information without thought of giving something back. Oh, I forgot, you've all paid your dues and now everybody owes you. I call BS!

Are you suggesting that the "Long Time Posters" are taking information and not giving anything back? The LURKERS are the one's taking info and not giving anything back. You're way off base, the long time posters have given plenty back. I have no idea what you mean by the everyone owes you line. I'm calling BS....

But they sure are quick to fire back at the posters they don't like, and then complain when posts that everyone thinks SUCK (negatively) get deleted. CENSORSHIP!

They? You're saying all the long time posters are doing this? Posts that everyone thinks sucks? Did you ask everyone or decide on your own what everyone else thinks sucks???

I wonder why they don't join in and add to the POSITIVE side of the equation, and the crap postings will fall to the bottom and not get so loud that they have to be deleted, instead of complaining about the lack of positive content?

I'm not following you here. Your post seems to be suggesting that the long time posters are responsible for everything negative around here and now your saying that they are also the one's complaining about the negative stuff??? BTW, nothing HAS to be deleted. You have a heavy delete finger. You should let the others decide what needs to be deleted. You should also get rid of that stupid ass thread locking button. I've seen that used on other boards and there is a progression that happens with that feature. It won't be long and you'll be using it to lock threads after you've thrown your final comments in. I'm sure you'll say it won't happen but I've seen it progress to that everywhere I've seen that feature used. That's not a moderating tool, it's a censoring tool.


If you don't like the way the board has been going, take it back!

From whom I wonder?
