Been there, done that. All it is is a pissing match between W and ASR, especially with LSU/Bama. Not worth the money.

Ah, so it's gotten worse. Definitely not worth the $6/month then. I'd rather spend that on something useful...like an abacus.

It really is funny when people think this site doesn't pay for itself.

Explain how it is so profitable maybe I need to check my bank account again. We have basically no sponsors that are still paying and use a ton of bandwidth. I recently changed hosts and considered killing the site just so you know. I decided to keep it around one more year. But hey sounds like you know more than me arm chair qb so it works until you login one day and it's gone. Thanks to those of you that are premium members without you the site would not still be here that's a fact. It was close to gone 60 days ago.

Or you could post in there and make it "worthwhile" or just consider it your contribution to the site. You guys that ***** about your six dollars we are probably better off without you anyway.

Let me say it this way the day that the premium memberships can no longer pay for the bandwidth the site will be done. That day is coming unless something changes I'm not going to keep it around for fun and throw money at it.

When you recently changed hosts, did your cost increase or decrease? I know Jeff got out of the hosting business and that is why the owner of SaltyTexan shut that site down.

hey Casey, i am sure you don't need any more responsibilities, but how bout a raffle forum in the premium section, raffle off different outdoor items for premium members to win, sell spots for a certain $ amount enough to cover item and shipping and handling costs, maybe that can help drum up new premium members, the item is not purchased till the raffle is finished, then shipped directly from vendor to winner, see photo for example from a facebook group

On one hand it would be sad to see the site go. On the other, all its become is a male version of Facebook. I have a hand full of members that pm back and forth for fishing reports. About all you see here anymore is drama and threats. When members are allowed to threaten other members or bash other members without being kicked off the site, it won't be successful. It used to be a useful resource.

Does keeping the site up have anything to do with the lack of charity donations from not having a tournament this year? I guess it doesn't make sense to have a website up and running if it doesn't bring any tax write offs with it.

This website really used to be some thing good several years back. I have met and fished with some awesome people and learned a whole lot about life down here from the people ive met. Got where I am today because of those relationships. This place has gone to **** and I constantly see posts that I'd expect on facebook. I see arguments that belong on a daytime drama show. This place has changed for the worse, and I hate to see what it's become.

As if you're losing tons of money on this thing, you woulda shut it down long ago if you were. As far as me logging on and it not working one day, I literally couldn't care less. I was a paying member and decided it wasn't worth it. Several posters above said the same thing. You always get bit?hy when premium memberships are brought up and say the same ole tired a$$ sad songs and make the same ole threats. Just pull the trigger if its that bad. Do yourself a favor.

I use to come on this site daily, was a premium member, started many threads about fishing, fishing reports bla bla bla

Was chastised (by other members ((caughguidecaugh)) for posting map images for helping out an out of towner that had never been to BL

I liked this place, but I don't need the hassle. I came here to make friends talk fishing get and give advise, and fish with others, make fishing reports, and I have. Ive used guides from this sit as well bought items from the sponsors that advertised here (guess no more sponsors as Casey has stated, Ive been gone a while)

There are members here that run others off, thus I believe is the downward spiral

I check it out once in a blue moon, to see if things have changed, Im not surprised at the decline. Unless things change, Im sure one day, SC.com will not be found

good luck. Im out

Went way up. Jeff was hosting this site as well so I had to find someone else. I was faced with the same decision as Jeff let it go or pay more. Jeff was giving me a good deal for years.
