Off Topics as of late.....

Ragnarok Forge · January 23, 2011, 05:27:00 PM

Terry and the other mods very generously let us into their back yard ( Trad Gang ) to chat, compare, and share trad hunting topics. I have had posts pulled, never asked why and frankly don't need to know why. When I am in another mans back yard, I follow his rules.

I love this site and like how it does not devolve into screaming, ranting, flaming, etc.... It is the exact opposite of a lot of other sites I no longer visit.

I say good work to the moderators. Thanks for your hard work in what I am sure is often a frustrating and thankless task.

I for one am very appreciative of the way Terry and the mods run this site. I visit here frequently just to read all the new posts and wonder how they can keep it in check with all the visitors here. If the rules were not enforced to keep us in line I would not enjoy my time here.

Lately, with the wave of new people coming to Trad Gang, I feel there needs to be a review of what Trad Gang is about.........

Think you are alone?....Think we play favorites?..here's a few folks that have had their posts edited or pulled....

Ron LaClair, Dean Torges, Gene Wensel, Barry Wensel, Biggie Hoffman, Charlie Lamb, and Don Thomas just to name a few....So, if you've had a post removed or edited, your in good company.

Yeah glad there's standards in here... I better check myself when I post, just so I can insure I am not associated with those fella's

No rules, no control, = Chaos.

thanks Terry Rob and the other admins. Great job and wonderful site. I am proud and thankful to be a member and to know the folks in here. God bless you all, Steve

Thanks for the reminder!!! Indeed it is a special place

I find myself proof reading a post before I click on "post" more than ever before. There is something about typing what you want to say instead of it coming out of our mouth's--at times there is a definite dis-connect.

January 23, 2011, 09:04:00 PM

Got it! The list is a great idea.....maybe an occasional update would be helpful.

Honestly, I don't remember running into anything on the list recently. Guess I my fixation on the Hill Virus would explain that..

thank you admin tough job somtimes but you sure make it worth it for the rest of us

GrayRhino · January 23, 2011, 09:23:00 PM

I didn't see any of the posts that were removed....but that in itself is a testimony to the hard work done by the moderators behind the scenes that keep tradgang such an awesome place.

Good on you, and thanks!

Nice job! Much appreciated. Thanks

Well done and explained.

Your forum, your rules but with a group of like minded individuals like TradGang, wouldn't it make sense to have a sub-forum for off-topic stuff like that? Seriously, some times its useful and beneficial to get the opinions of people you like and trust on topics that are only slightly related or maybe aren't related at all.

For instance, *years* ago, I started a thread about deer calls. Granted that thread could apply to topics other than trad archery, but many of us here hunt deer and deal with the complexities of getting deer "tradbow close". That topic can be useful and interesting to some of the folks around this campfire.

The others that you mentioned - I can see people here wanting to discuss those topics with each other. Why not - is there a big deal? If there were an off-topic sub forum for this sort of thing, people could chat, you could be bothered less from a policing perspective, and the other forums here could remain uncluttered.

What's the downside?
