Oldrubline,

There are forums at the bottom of the main page for the individual states, however they dont see much use unfortunately.

As long as it's easy to use and I'm still a member.

I think what ever happens it will be thanks to terry & rob so it will be great    

Would like to see bigger "buttons" (;i.e. "log on" , "forum home"'"search" etc)., and page numbers.

They are small when using a desk top computer, they are TINY when using my 5"x7" tablet screen.

Wish you could delete a post you made yourself.

Wish classifieds were no cost.

Thanks riser....all can be consider but free classifieds...we will NEVER go down that road again...and if you were in  charge of it you wouldn't either....life is too short to deal with scammers!!!

We are neck deep into this....things are in the works....Rob will make an update post soon I'm sure as to what's going to take place and when.  

I have a few bows in the classifieds for sale to try and offset some of the costs of this huge upgrade and mover over as well as a NEW server we are going to have to move to.

Wheeew....what a project!!!

I can't wait for this.

Thanks, Terry and Rob, for all your hard work on this matter!

We've been pouring over this all day.... hopefully Rob will have an update only if the test conversion came through without too many problems.

Man this test run sure has been running I think it's been 4 days now ...I'll be getting with Rob later this morning to see kind of where we're at .....again we hope to have this done before hunting season gets in full gear

I have no news as of early this morning on how the 2nd conversion went.  As soon as I hear something it will get posted on this thread.

In the meanwhile, please think about this ....

Trad Gang is dedicated to the promotion and preservation of traditional bowhunting. No Trad Gang member is ever asked or told that a fee is required to participate in the conversations, to both share and absorb all things within the periphery of traditional bowhunting.

We instituted a fee to access the Trad Gang Classifieds for the primary reason of putting a stop to the constant scamming and hustling we all had to deal with on a near weekly basis. It was either that or there'd be no Trad Gang Classifieds. We don't have those problems any more.

Money from sponsors or contributing members is used to offset our website and forum and domains and servers cost. It's not cheap. We partner with a premier host server organization that takes pride in quality of service, allows us our own immediate access to our servers and domains, is available to us 24x7 for support, and actually speaks the English language. This is a far cry from a cheap ineffective bottom-of-the-barrel hosting service like Go-Daddy. It goes beyond just hardware as we hire people to maintain, support, and care for our systems 24x7, write code as need be, and take care of accounting and bookkeeping. As a result, we have an excellent online track record with almost zero down time. This is to keep the Trad Gang house in good shape and always ready for your posting and archival reading. This is more than necessary for our upcoming conversion migration, where we'll need three servers instead of two. Quality computing, technicians, and internet horsepower ain't cheap.

Terry and I, and the other great Trad Gang folks that are behind the scenes keeping the site going have other lives. Trad Gang isn't all we do in life - we have jobs, families, outside obligations and distractions. We do make Trad Gang a priority, but that can go only so far. Please have patience as we do our best in an instant gratification world.

Again, keep foremost in mind that when you use Trad Gang, you use it for FREE. We make it available at no charge, no service fee, nada. That's the way it should be and the way it will be. Period. Whether or not you wish to contribute to our efforts has absolutely no bearing on your use of Trad Gang. We understand. Trad Gang is your cyber camp, your community, your friends. Don't get more better'n that, I'd think. That's all that matters. Terry and I will do whatever we need to do to keep the Trad Gang campfire burning 'til we croak and can hopefully hand it over to a qualified next generation.

Everyone does a great job and we appreciate it!!

Yes, I agree with the above.  Thank You!

Alex

Direct photos would be helpful. I can't figure out photo bucket for the life of me. Thanks for looking forward.

We will have direct photos and direct videos
