oxcowboy Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) It is a shame that people have to think so much into a simple heads up post. I love going to epps each year. we have been known to catch a few z's in the parking lot just waiting for them to open. We never buy much but its been part of our yearly trip since I started going many years ago. Wish I could attend the sale.

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 LOL! Why are people so grumpy lately? Maybe OFC needs to get out fishing a little more, and spend a little less time at the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archie_james_c Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Yes, that's a little weird. If I were to mention "Come on down to the 'Taste Of Italy' fest this weekend for some great food, I wouldnbt say anythinhg because im not a dipstick with no life...i'd say "thank you for the heads up" and move along if I wasn't interested. You need to join Bill The Bass Fisherman in the game of "getting a life"...i'D HATE TO SEE THE GOSSEP YOU GUYS SPREAD ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

pikehunter Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) Give it a break guys. Christ if a guy can't pass on info like this then OFC is really getting petty. This is exactly the reason I don't pass on the deals I see every once in a while when there is a clearout at work. I have seen some impressive deals that some members would appreciate but I just zip it up and say nothing because of the narrow minded thinking around here by a few members. Thank you for the news on Epps, even though it will not do me any good as I have to work and will be nowhere close to the area. Here's something that will make somebody drool. We let a brand new 9x7 slightly dented garage door go yesterday for a hundred bucks! I mention that only so I can see you squirm!

wormdunker Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Thanx for the info at Elwood Epps. When I was a youngster my father always stopped to browse while on our way further north. Unfortunately I won't be in the area. Bills you r losing 8 - 1!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Well it's understandable that Bill the Bass Man is upset, you have to take into account that bass anglers have a shorter fishing season(not open yet) and therefore a higher level of frustration, often trying to relieve themselves by taking stabs at others when they should be giving themselves the rapid handshake. If you read the OP thread, it sure looks like an add and if you were a bit trigger happy then BtBM fires off a whereas in good taste, should have just hit the "wake up a mod" button, and had them look at it.

BillsTheBassMan Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Hmmmm, I wonder what's worse. 1 guy saying don't advertise in the area where we're not supposed to advertise or 9 guys taking their "moral" high road and trying to flame him for it. I guess we should just tell all the tackle shops to advertise in general discussion, so we'll have to wade through 100 ads whenever we're looking to talk about actual fishing. I love how you respond to threads like this more than threads about actual fishing. It kind of shows where your heads are at I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how you respond to threads like this more than threads about actual fishing. It kind of shows where your heads are at I guess. If the OWNER of a tackle shop used this page to advertise his products it would be considered SPAM and is against the rules of the forum, but when a member informs us that Joe Schmucks Tackle Store is having a sale, or whatever, that's a whole nuther thing and is just an FYI for the rest of us and is perfectly with-in the rules. It's something that we've done around here for many years and is normally helpful to the members who are looking to save a few $$$$. One of the problems we have around here is too many folks deciding on their own what's right and what's wrong with a post and then taking it on themselves to tell others what to do. If someone thinks there's a problem with a post, inform the moderators thru the appropriate channels and let them deal with it the way they want.

I was a little harsh with the initial response. There's definitely a difference between a customer and a tackle shop owner announcing these things, I just thought there was already a forum for such announcements.

BillM Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) This forum is going downhill fast. Now a guy can't even post up a sales event at a local tackleshop to hopefully save a few people here some $$$? The rubes should just shut up and say thank you or say nothing at all.

Guest Johnny Bass Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Thanks for the heads up. They must be doing something right. They bought out Pete's place down the street too. Bill made a mistake, he was called for it, he apologized, and that should be the end of that. I think its the moderators that should determine what is spam and what is not.
