WOW Life size and everything!!!!

Now thats what Im looking for!!!

Did this site turn out like I wanted.. lol.. dunno.. like most of my business plans I have no idea where its gonna wind up. For sure I started the board for business reasons, it evolved from there, till it went way beyond business.. a couple of death threats to my family and some real nasty emails, and lawsuit threats pretty much convinced me that it went way beyond business. Ask any of the mods and there are at least a dozen times where I was on the verge of pulling the plug and saying it all not worth it. Sleepless nights, and more time spent on it during the day when I should have been looking after my business. Just before we went to this new format a couple of years ago, I had had enough and told the mods that I needed some help with the brunt of the abuse as I couldn't moderate anymore... I was sick of it, especially because of a business venture that barely, and I mean barely pays for itself. We had went to pro boards cause I was loosing money bandwidth wise. I was loosing money and getting abused for the privilege. The problem is that we had built this huge and REAL community... and like family its hard and I couldn't let it go. If there is any thanks to be given.. its to all our present mods, whom I have delegated the real job of Moderating, ModQing and Banning. I just don't have the heart to do that anymore. They do all the tough work. I get to run the contests and promote stuff and have the fun job. If theres any thanks to give its them that deserve it. "Real people, real everyday lives. Real everyday". Ya I d say. sometimes way too real. Anybody whos come out to the G2G's ands met me knows that what ya see is what ya get.... sometimes.. lol.. ya get too much!! but that's me. I have got to meet ALOT of people through this board, and think Ive become a good judge of character.. I've met some winners and some losers in my book.. Ive met some people who are way better than me, and some people I thought were not, and proved me wrong. - Just like family. I consider alot of the people I've met to be real friends now, not just acquaintances. I've had some people I thought were friends turn on me over nothing. If anything this board and all its been through has made me more aware of real human nature. I guess the best way to put it is that just like family, respect has to be earned over time, which is probably why some of the oldtimers get cut a break here now and then when they say something stupid... just like family, sometimes ya gotta cut the crazy drunk uncle some slack.. cause he took ya fishing when you were a kid. So to answer your actual question "Did this site turn out like what you wanted, or did it turn out to be a friendly place for friends to visit, chat and share." What I wanted was a business venture, what I got was family. So it turned out better than I ever could have imagined.... and this is like the longest response I have ever written. (PS What I really want is for someone to ask for my autograph in front of Dave Mercer... LOL)

My heart goes out to you, I lost my mother the same way.. time heals all.

Ditto....

Very lower left hand corner

I'm working on a website for new anglers and I want to break it down into sections on what different lures there are. Ontario Freshwater type stuff. For example: These are a few example "categories" Spoons Jigs Crankbaits Topwater Plastics Spinners Spinnerbaits Any others categories you can think of?? Any thoughts???

That is the truth!!

Because people were having a problem with having to double click on the "club:" theme, we made our "driftwood" theme the default one.

LOL.. I dunno... Thanks for the kudos.
