Who is welcome here?
 

This was posted inthe earlier thread on who is allowed by a moderator who is now and administrator.



The general deer hunting forum has about 10% of the posts that the "bowhunting" forum has. I've been reading posts here in the bowhunting forum that apply to deer hunting because the other forum is so slow. I'm not sure how aging a deer is a special skill that only bowhunters should know and why it belongs in the bowhunting forum. Same with european mounting, looking for land, etc..

If the general deer hunting forum is looked on as a gun hunting forum, why isn't it renamed?

i'll give it 5 minutes before it is gone:D

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

I want a fawn forum!!!

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

HERE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE!!!!!!!!!

MOVED: What.....

Euro Mount Help..... 4 pages and running strong!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

What are you getting at? I agree with him that all those are atleast somewhat bowhunting related.

No one is holding you at gun point on these forums, if yall dont like the way it is ran then....

JNTURK

Ask to become a MOD;)
In the scheme of life does it really matter? Are you going to loose sleep? Are children not going to get food?

I am member at MS forum and have threads deleted and moved all the time. They are very strict. I don't care, one's here that have been moved, I don't care;)

I simple just skip over threads, is it really that hard[&:]

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

Sorry but a type of mount for animals we kill bowhunting is a little more relevant than a brand of batteries.

try again if looking for a GREAT EXAMPLE!!!!!!...

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

It just seems to me that the deer hunting forum is a step child.

I really like the take quality photos thread but it is only for bow hunters. I feel like I was one of the ones that helped get the "New Contest" started with some of my comments on that thread but I couldn't submit any photos in the contest because I am one of those dreaded gun hunters who is obviously less fit than a bow hunter. :eek:

The deer hunting gun contest was a joke this year with no help from any moderators in posting stickies and helping out other than deleting some of the original posts by the person running the contest.

I can accept it if the gun hunters are step children, but don't pretend, just change the name of that forum to gun hunter slobs or something like that and we will deal with it. To have a forum for deer hunting when there are more topics on the subject in the bowhunting forum than the deer hunting forum seems wrong to me.

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

I honestly don't care if my posts get moved. Sometimes I forget the rules and they do get moved, not upset.. It's just the rules and sometimes my posts are borderline so they stay, I really don't see anything wrong with posting any hunting topic on here, or any related topic. But, the mods can move em if they want, that's their job.

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

Worry about something that is actually important in life would ya.

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

Well
Make a post in deer forum for quality pictures, PM a mod and ask that it be a stickey;)

That is what I would do!!

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

A forum is not made up of topics......It's made up of members! It's the members that keep the bowhunting forum alive and interesting.

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

Yep JNTURK, the euro mount thread is mine and I killed that buck with my bow back in November 1987 while home from college onthe Thanksgiving break.....you were three.;)

I wanted to see what other BOW hunters do with their euro mounts.I don't care if it gets moved tothe deer hunting forum or the taxi forum. I've had my threads moved before...I'm a big boy, I can take it.:D

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

I'm # 1thats right #1 whooooooooo I feel so special.:)




The rest of you loser's are just gonna have to try harder............................................ .................................................. ..at bow hunting

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

i feel mis-understood....i am not here to bash mods, nor am i taking this time out of my day to complain of the wonderful job HNI personal have done with this site or there selection of MODS.....

i am not the most active on this site (like everyday users ) but i do use this site a lot for knowledge in the bowhunting world and this current set up is great....maybe just the times i have been on and seen topics moved from non-everyday members in relation to everyday members (that were off the topic of "bowhunting") seemed very heavily weighed towards non-everyday members. in the big picture of every day use maybe the balance is perfect and items are moved in fairness (however i don't feel that is the case). what ever way you look at it i fight this issue because i too once was a non-everyday member and could still be considered out of the "click"....which is fine..no problem, but for new members who want to be accepted into the site and learn a lot having their topics moved or not answered because they are new, etc. i don't feel is right nor fair....everyday is different some days i am sure you just don't want to answer the same question you answered two days ago that is now on page 3 of the forum....fine and dandy i fully understand, but moving them in greater numbers then of members in the "click" i don't feel is right nore fair.........if you want a prime example look at bulletholebailey (sorry if spelling is wrong)....i was here when he first started out and he would could rude comments on his posts as member thought he was a prangster and used multiple names and just wanted to increse his number of "stars" but now he is fully accepted and has done VERY well this year in archery hunting ... mostly thanks to many of the persons on this site....

i am simply asking to make it fair!!!! plain an simple.....

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

So if there is no new posts in the deer hunting forum and there are several new post about general deer hunting in the bowhunting forum am I welcome to post on them as a gun hunter? What about starting a new post on general deer hunting in the bowhunting forum if I am a gun hunter?

It seems that bowhunters are able to post new threads in the deer hunting forum asking about general deer hunting (which is thought of as a gun hunting forum by the admins), but the reverse would not be true?

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

again mis-understood..i was just using it as an example...you are more of a regular...YES and thus for some reason your post staid...while the other post got moved...maybe an accident...i don't know other then looking at the facts...yes you probably did shoot the deer with a bow (great deer by the way), but is he not going to use the trail cam to get pictures of deer he is going to bowhunt????

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

heck....what I'd have done was ask everbody how they liked their cudde's...

THEN.....ask them about the best batteries;)

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

My wife would like a Rack Forum.

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

Wow ..... Sorry Rob!! Didn't mean to open a can o' worms .....



Thanks for locking my thread ..... AGAIN![:-];):D

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

You're going to get general deer questions askedin BOTH forums by their regular members. I think they do this because over time they have gotten to know some of the members and value their opinions. Posting a general question on a forum you don't visit and don't know the folks, you can't be sure the information your getting is reliable or accurate..make sense?

I will post a general question here because this is where I hang out and I know the folks here (for the most part). If I hung out on theother forum more I'd ask it there.

I say, if it's obvious, then move it, if it's not, what the hell is the harm??

Seems kinda "nit picky" to me.

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

This is a pointless thread!!!!!!!!:(

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

Way to go. The "Popcorn Preacher" strikes again!:D

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

nothing at all...i would and have posted general comments here too..this is where i usually hang out as well.

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

Smells like Cabin Fever.

I <3 the off season.

:eek:

Not to like... suck up or anything... but the mods and administrators who run HNI do a pretty damn good job at keeping this place running smoothly.It isn't our place to question why they do the things they do. They're in their positions for a reason and we should be thanking them rather than nit-picking and questioning every little thing theydo [or don't do.] Just my opinion...

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

i don't think it is...from an owners stand point i would want to know this information..the only way to grow a business is to get new members..if there was something, possibley, discouraging new members it is something i would want to know....

again not saying it is or isn't because i don't have the numbers or are on the back side of the software to look at the numbers...but from a members stand point it appears that way to me.

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

BAM!! Hit the nail on the head...or uh hit the head with your hand...?:eek:

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [:-][:-][:-][:-]

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

I don't know what tell you guys. The forums aren't perfect. They've been added to here and there and there's really no way to make them both specific and all encompassing.

The deer forum isn't just gun hunting, but this forum isn't just deer hunting with a bow. Some posts get moved, some don't. Many that don't get moved are just over-looked or borderline on/off topic. Sometimes posts get left just because people are having fun with it and it seems harmless enough.

I think you're being a little too sensitive if you think there is a bunch of cronyism behind what gets moved or deleted. (a little, maybe...)

[:-]

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

npaden, your not missing much, its the same thing over, and over and over and over again until it makes no sense so a new thread is started so the same thing can be talked about over and over and over again! Some of Quicksilvers threads are starting to make sense![8D]:D:D:D

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

i very well may be....but, my intent was just to bring it to your attention and i have done that...after that it is up to you to make those decisions...

josh

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

If it weren't for the "Whats he score" post I would never come here. [:-][:-][:-];)


And of course the next line is always " I Know and will post it later"........ I live for them.:eek:

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

You forgot about the "I never said that" lines!!!!;)[&:] Like I said you aren't missing much! Give it a few months THEN it gets pretty funny in here!!!!:D:D:D

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

i have made post on here that were not totally bow hunting some that were non bow hunting
but i feel that alot of the people who know what there talking about stay here

i for one usually stay in the forum and feel it gets me the best and quickest answer

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

What I don't get after reading a lot of the threads on here is, well, why are the most pointless threads the ones with the most activity?[&:] I posted a fairly long scouting thread with pictures hoping to get some insight, and it just got itself bumped right down the line under posts that were extremely random:D Oh well, such is life. Mods, you're doing just fine in my book...it's the internet, we'll all survive regardless of how this place is run.

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

Hey....I think I'll start one of them.....maybe........

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

Look Dan you need to quit wasting time posting this BS and get out and hunt some sheds. :D

I do like those pics,even if they aren't about bow hunting.;)

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

When is the Big Rack forum going to start?

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

I'm game... haha, if only my fiance could see this post:eek:

RE: Who is welcome here?
 

Wish I had the time!!!!

But hey, I carry my bow when I shed hunt. [:-]
