RE: We're losin' em'
 

You let me know what you think when you have been here for about 8 or 9 years and then your buddies leave.

I have been around these boards almost since startup, just like a lot of the ones that are leaving, whether it is forced or voluntary. Like it was said, you become family. When David lost his wife, we all felt saddened. We all pitched in and did a great thing for David. I can't say that I have seen that on any other board that I freuent.

Another big loss that you are not mentioning...Len. That guy has more knowledge of archery in his thumb than I do my entire body!

speaking up and out and making a huge stink is the ONLY way to change things. If HNI moderaters are overstepping their bounds etc, contact the founder of HNI, send emails and PM's and don't let it rest.

if those guys are gone for a valid reason thats one thing, if the reasons aren't valid, thats another.

everyone who posts here MAKE this board. Without you, the subscriber, Hunting.net would ge no sponsors, and if they aint making money, they'll shut things down in a hurry

JMHO

Buster, I agree 100% when you say e-mailing and PMing the founder. Go to the one that can do something, if in fact something needs to be done (CYA statement ;)) Constant threads of negativity do not help ..

Let it go folks. Yes, ya'll are right, especially w/ the family thing...VERY true. It always amazed me that friends can be made in this capacity, but it's true......

But the smart move right now is to let it rest. Let it go. It'll all be fine, I promise.

I've only been on this forum for about a year and a half. I learned pretty early on that there are some folks who seem to go out of their way to get things going. I believethey know who they are.People like thisare EVERYWHERE so when I encounter one onhereor anywhere else I simply avoidthem, not run from them.
I enjoy this sitebig time! Yes,it bothers me to see long standing membersdecide to leave orbe forced to leave for whatever reason. I'm sure there's things going on that I'm not aware of, but I do know they are out of my control. With this said, all I can do is keep enjoying this site with a bunch of guys and galsthat love to bowhunt and not let the negativity get in the way. Life's too short!!:)

GMMAT isnt posting anymore? darn.. what a shame[8D]

RE: We're losin' em'
 

Did any one really get Axed? Or is it a "self imposed" ban from HNI?

Thanks, Bo

RE: We're losin' em'
 

Some people were actually banned after repeated warnings, yes.

Several are are just taking a break, and a small handful have just decided to leave.
