I always have to scratch my head when a member blatently breaks rule #5 ("No discussion or challenge to our editing policy are allowed within the forums.&quot by starting a thread about how they don't see where any rules were broken in another thread that was edited, moved, or deleted.

Some things never cease to amaze me. <img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

When I first started hitting this site it was full of info and some good stories. Theres still alot of that that I look at and reply to every once in awhile. I might post a topic too. I was hitting regular and just started again cuz my hunting seasons almost over. I like this site and the people, but Ive been noticing some stuff on here that doesnt belong or relates to the forum, which is cool cuz everyone wants to post or learn or whatever. where not here to fight with each other!! u can get that in chat rooms. were hear to talk about success,and archery. I think some of us need to go spend a day in the woods and take a deep breath and think about this sport and why we love it. In fact im going now.. cant get enuff. Just thought id post my opinion.

I started coming to this site about 3 years now. I've seen this forum go through many changes and frankly I miss what it was when I first came. I get feedback all the time and I usually try to do what is best for the forum and/or the majority.

Years ago we had few forums, now we have many so you should be able to find the correct forum for your thread. If it isn't bowhunting, don't put it in bowhunting. The Hunting/Politic forum gets as heated as anyone needs so don't do it in bowhunting. OFFSEASON is a blanket forum for anything that doesn't fit into any other forum.

This is a family forum in my opinion. I see anyone from our seniors to our 12 year olds and females of the same age. Everyone should keep that in mind while posting.....the person you may attack for lack of knowledge or a misdemeanor might be a 12 year old young lady looking for the right answer....

I like a debate as well as anyone....and if our senior members remember the begining...right Maytom, NY Hunter...lol, we've all come full circle but personal attacks can be done off the forum.

I moderate with these two questions in my mind....<font color=red>Is this bowhunting related?</font id=red> and <font color=red>If I had a 12 year old daughter, would I want her to read and learn by this post?</font id=red> The second I sometimes overlook because I don't have a child, but I used to be one. The first takes priority.

Like MDB mentioned, we can't please everyone and sometimes I/we will make a wrong decision...we're human but I feel we have the best forum on the web today...I'd like to see it continue. Many friends have been formed here, many get togethers happen, hunting opportunities have come and I've witnessed sharing, prayers, and money sent to those in need. Let's get back to the old forum and talk bowhunting.......all else is irrelevant.
