That is, for as long as I can! I've got nothing but respect and appreciation for what you Moderators/Administrators do to provide this Forum. As an administrator for the entire Oregon National Guards network, I can sympathize with the things you have to put up with.
With twenty something thousand members, sheeeesh, you guys ROCK!! :thumbsup:
Me too !!!!!!! :campfire: :archer: :archer2:

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Very nice Killy.

What's not to enjoy!
What are we suppose to do? How can this guy destroy the site? Is that even possible? Is there something we should be looking out for? I don't get it, but I'm tecnically challenged.
Great job! :campfire:
Killy the only thing I like better than flames are sharp pointy objects...lol Thank you "Lady"!
God bless,Mudd
I need this site. I love this place Kinda like my favorite place to hunt only I'm hunting for something else. :campfire:
Thank you to everyone who makes it possible. Mods and members. :archer:
I second the "need" part. Without it, I'd be too old to hunt before I learned anything useful.
Thank you! :clapper: :clapper: :archer2:
This is one of the greatest sites on the web
Without this sight I wouldn't know what to do at 2 in the morning. A big THANKS to all involved.

No....he can't do any such a thing....WHY?
Because this site is not about ONE person...or TWO people....or a handful of people....its about the sport/lifestyle of Trad Bowhunting.
It's not about one person.....so one person can't destroy it. Some folks don't realize that. Its been proven in the past, and will be proven once again. The truth will prevail.
Thanks for the comments guys n gals.
:thumbsup:
You guys do a wonderful job and don't get thanked enough.
I read your original post Terry and all I can say is that in the short time I've been here I call it home.
I am greatful indeed for what is made available to me here and have made many friends here that I look forward to sharing a campfire with someday.
Let him bring it we have strength in numbers.

:clapper: Great big thanks!!!
i got an easton 2117 with a buzz cut broadhead for any one that wants to "destroy" this thing of ours but be careful it comes out sharp side first thank you tradgangers and administrators for all that you do to keep the best archery forum on the web just that
:clapper: :goldtooth: :biglaugh:
Thank you all for every ounce of Trad knowledge you provide. Also Thank You to Terry for allowing us to have a place like this to call home. :campfire:
When I read your post about him leaving it almost sounded like you were concerned about him being able to do it. I just couldn't imagine how he could. I was just wondering if there was something we could do to discourage him.
Stopping this site would be like trying to stop an ocean wave from coming into shore. Ain't gonna happen.
A great site, keep up the good work guys. :thumbsup:
I find it very refreshing to see accountability in action! If I get out of line, I would hope someone would "tune me up".
:knothead:
Thanks for having a great site for me to enjoy!

We all slip up every now and then, when it becomes a habit a moderate will step up and let ya know. Keep it up and they give you the boot. It keeps eveyone honest and this place feeling like a family.
Still the best site on the internet.
Did Mudd just call me a four-letter word? :confused: :saywhat:
Not quite sure whats going on but I'm not going anywhere and if for one minute I thought this site was, well I'd have to get everyones address and come vist you all personnely. And you all don't want that cause I eat alot and snore. Seriosley though this site is great and I appreciate all that the mods do to keep it that way and the folks who know how to present themselves

I am sure he ment it with the best of intentions.
Terry like I told you earlier thanks for what you have put together and the team that keeps it going. I am very greatful to be able to join and proud to be a part of it.
It's all good boys and girls ... still the best site on the net .
Man! I got so shook I had to go back and see what I called you Killy....
I guess I could say I'm sorry but for calling you a "Lady"? But......Heck no!...lol
I know under that rough exterior of a great example of an extreme bow-huntresses' persona lives and beats the heart of a sweet "Lady" who can get the mail delivered on time and in great condition too!
God bless,Mudd
Great job, Thanks a lot!!
Hear, hear!
With that hat I can see where someone might think you are a bit weird, but communist? :knothead:
Thanks for sorting through the mess every day so we can enjoy this site.
Gregg. :archer2:
Did I miss something? I am a bit lost.
Terry and the administrators. THANKS for all you do. It is really appreciated. Sorry for the BS you guys have to put up with at times. I read one of his posts the other night and was lost and had no idea what was going on. With your explanation, now I understand.
THANKS
To Terry & the mods, thank you for everything you do. The fact is you all have a "thankless" job- I feel we've all become spoiled by having such a great website available to us devoted strictly to traditional archery. I imagine you only hear from some folks when there is a problem- server down, this joker with the bad attitude, etc. I personally should be more aware of the excellent job you all do & says thanks more often.
Wish I could shake all your hands in person- maybe some day. Until then, thanks.
This site and it's admin staff RULE! Thanks guys! :notworthy: :campfire:
The courtesy and good taste of Trad Gang members is remarkable. It stand out like a bright campfire on a dark night.
I'm sure you guys deal with "putting out fires " on a daily basis.
You can't please everyone all the time, some people none of the time .
Keep doing what you are doing, you don't have 20,000 + members because you are doing something wrong .
:campfire:
Thanks Guys.....nice morning welcome from the gang! :campfire:
Great site! great job! :campfire:
Its a crazy world out there, I forget about it when Im enjoying my coffee on here each morning.
To accomplish his stated goal, he would have his hands more full than you guys do - whether he was trying to do it one person at a time, or in big, mortar pothole-sized blasts. The guy must be a meglomaniac. Terry, I'm not so sure I would be as kind as to not mention his name - but I'm sure you made the right decision, as he doesn't even deserve that much notice. Just enjoy the good results/respones. As someone else said, you can't please all the folks, all the time, be satisfied with most of the folks, most of the time - it's really quite a record, you know.
Thanks Terry, Rob and all the other mods. Silly behaviour is one thing but rudeness, malice and aggressive stuff is not part of tradgang, at least I never saw it tolerated and I hope I never will.

This is a great site for both members and sponsors Keep up the great work Admin and Mods :clapper:
Greeting to all the great guys I meet here everyday,thanks to the mods for make this possible.
This is the ONE site I come to everyday...! If I turn on my machine I will be at the Tradgang that day...
Thanks to Terry and all who make it possible.
From someone who had to deal with the public for 37 years at work, there are some real nut cases out there, and evidently one of them slipped through the cracks here. You mods and admin guys did what needed to be done. Good on ya!
This is a great site, and you guys keep it that way. Thanks to you all! :thumbsup:
No need for malice. No need for hatefulness. No need for nonsense. Ya'll do a good job. :thumbsup:
Thank you to Terry and all the mods !! :campfire: a wonderful place to pull up a stump,sip a cup of joe and enjoy traditional archery and bowhunting values with some 20000 plus friends! You guys are the best!!
It baffles me that someone would be upset that a post telling of unethical behavior would be moderated. They are not a true hunter and it is best they are gone, great job! :clapper:
Another thanks for a great site!!
Most likely He/She isn't a real hunter. Wanting and will to take any game in the way. Now if this was My site I would have posted the names for all to see and call that person's State WildLife office and tell them when He/She posted. Give then all the Info I had on them..
Other then being ethical in the woods We as hunters should be ethical on the streets. I mean, if You saw someone poach, Would you call the cops? If You saw someone drinking a beer and walking in the woods with a fire arm, Would You call the cops? So why not call then if someone is talking about poaching game on here.
It might be this person was full of it with their post, But why take a chance... The game We hunt needs more respect from Us then we give them. We are their watchers, Their friend, Their yeng for Their yang.
As for Me... Email their name so I can keep a eye out for them. If they try to email me I'll be sending that email to the local Police office and to their local Police if I found out where their from.
It takes a huge amount of effort to set a tone and keep a site like this as welcoming and civil as it is. A huge hats off to all the moderators and the moderator in chief. It is lousy to be at the receiving end of a an immature rant and reaction. Know that I and every one who enjoys this site truly appreciate the time and sweat you put into keeping a bunch of rough woodsmen in line.
Thank You for a well managed site. Shane
Keep it up Terry, et al.
Although I don't always agree with what you do (usually when it involves messing with my posts) I certainly respect what you do. This here site is yours and it is ours. Do whatever needs to be done to keep it civil, sane, and a great place to visit.

"How sweet it is". Congratulations and keep up the good work. :clapper:
Thanks to all! :campfire: :cool:
After doing some research, I get it now. Thanks mods for keeping this site better than the rest.
been on this site for like 3 years i think and 4000 members earlier and they've said it all this site it top notch quality
I have grown to love this site...for the info, fellowship and pride taken to host such a site and to manage it they way you do.
How can we help, or prepare ourselves to block this threat>
I like the place...it's stable; and the topics generally stay on course.
That's due to a wonderful combination of respectful members (for the most part) and effective moderation. I think I'll stay. :campfire:
S.
There's no place I would rather be.
WOW, I was lost for a bit there, doing chores and attending my afternoon class I was like whaaa, lol.
I have never, and probably will never be a moderator of anything, WAY too much work, lol. So I am ever more grateful for the folks that DO have the patience to deal with problems when they arise. I've been on sites where the mods have no patience and there solution is to just kick off anyone that crosses them the wrong way.
Here that is not the case, it seems that some serious buttons have to be pushed in order to be kicked off . . . so for that I applaud you guys! Thanks for not only keeping things under control but doing so in a fair and just way!
:campfire: :campfire:
ttt
I want to Thank Terry and all the mods that keep this site a place I want to be. No problems with jerks. Keep it civil you here, if not your gone. If you miss what that person had to say, go to any of the other sites and he will probaly still be there speading his crap.
Keep up the good work, this is the only site I hold any faith in, the other I watch just to see who they are feeding on today.
Yeppers...thanks guys!! :archer2:
