A question

Here comes summer again.......

......and all the summer "I don't have enough to do BS posts"!

Bruce Kennedy used to really dread this time of year on the old Shade Tree Board for just this reason.

Oh, well........... :rolleyes:
 
Time for me to chime in. As a newbie to this site, I appreciate the forums. I try to follow the rules. If I screw up, and post something I shouldn't, that is what a moderator is for. I understand this concept, I have accepted that by realizing this IS a moderated forum. PERIOD! Let the administration do their jobs. They may or may not get paid a small sum to do this, that is of no concern to me. (I hope that there is enough left over to get paid something)

Seems to me, that some people are looking a gift horse in the mouth. This forum is free; if not, damn, did I get a deal. Please treat it with respect. Free things that are of any quality are few and far in between.

I am sure that the administration did discuss this and work out a deal on the advertising issue. They even say that they had done this. Even if they hadn't, nobody is forcing anyone to read this specific or any other post. Remember, almost all of us are "guests" here.

I am open to all criticism. Flame away if necessary. This is just how I see things, from my limited time here in the forums.

Also, please correct me if I am wrong, or misguided. I am not perfect, nor am I very intelligent. Just persistant.

J. Holly,

I love your sense of humor. Your joke about getting paid really cracked me up. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

We do these jobs because we love this board and what happens here.

(Either that or I'm the only one not getting paid) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Jean-Henri,
I feel that it is a shame that you do not have the courage to give your real name here. I know that you are not John-Henry because John would not sneak in here under an alias. You are someone we know alright, and you are wiser than you have been showing here as of yet. Too bad that you don't wish to offer up some posts with good hunting or shooting information. If the above post doesn't turn out to be your last, maybe you will walk a bit softly around here from now on. I hope so, because those with the ban button are poised to shut you down.
 
There's MONEY in this thing???!?!?!!????

Wellllll now, just how long has this been going on & why didn't someone tell me about it before?

Why I oughta..........

When stating some facts that may be unclear as to what is actually going on thus could be called slander! To set the record straight, we at Western Rivers have contacted Mr. Robert Cobb and advised him of our intentions of advertising on the site as well as sending him a banner ad along with our business hours, phone number, etc., and we have yet been able to successfully get our banner ad placed! We as a company expect No free ride and if anyone will notice on all of the major print predator publishings we pay a significant amount to advertise there! I kindy ask in a previous email to Mr. Cobb that he, being in the position as a moderator should maybe be a little more proessional about his role as moderator & a little less bias! We, Western Rivers would love to advertise if you will call!
 
Brian...

I told you via email that we have tried numerous times to contact you at the number you gave to us. We have left messages and have yet to be called back. As far as my professionalism... Well like I told you (also via email) I am not paid for my services here, I am not a "Advertising Sales Specialist" nor any other professional sounding label you may want to pin on me. I do this in my spare time, when I have time, on MY terms. I am not under any kind of contract, and any opinions I make about ANY product are just that, my opinion!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

If PM ever tried to stop me from stating my opinions, then that is when I turn in my moderator/PS position. If I am biased, that is MY business, not yours or anyone elses!! You say your not in for a free ride, yet you continue to spam PM with your incessant postings and attempts to keep your threads at the top of the lists. I have noticed several people make statements about that, besides Coyotebuster. It is annoying!! Personally, I don't care whether you decide to advertise here or not!! And as far as slandering your name, you are the only person who has slandered, when you said I should be more professional and less biased... And you did NOT contact me about your intentions to advertise, I contacted you!!
 
Okay, I think I am up to speed now on the topic. Mr. Robert Cobb, thank you for being honest. This allows for those of us who are new, to catch up on how things are ran around here. I applaud the way that this was handled.

As to RanUtah, I apologize for speaking a bit out of turn. After seeing a bit of what has transpired, I apologize to you.
 
Hate like Hades to wade into the middle of the flames here, but does the alleged product everyone's referring to actually exist yet?

Then there was that other alleged product (which I'll refer to as Product #1) that isn't offishully out yet and nobody seems to be able to buy...

Curiously all the spamming and hype about Product #2 (Cheaper! Better! Longest Loops in the Industry!) started happening right about when the release date for product #1 was supposed to occur...

Can't see what the heat's all about yet for all the vaporware in the air.

Meanwhile the Exclaimation Points (!!!) nearly drowned out the fun the rest of us were having hot-rodding our own e-callers.

(Hey all you Ford vs. Chivy posters: yeah, maybe mine's just a lowly Rambler American--but I ain't saying exacktly what's under that bulge in the hood. Wanna run it?)

I think that the person starting a thread like this one should at least have the balls to title it what it is instead of some bu!!$%!t title like "a question"! That leads other people to beleive that someone actually has a question worth asking and sincerely would like some advise or assistance. Why not title it "pot stirring, pissing match #734 so that the rest of us don't get sucked into it by accident.
 
Haven't we had quite enough fun bashing each others brains in with this thread? I'm sure that Jean-Henri and CoyoteBuster believe that this has turned into a series of personal attacks, a deffinate violation of the TOS agreement.
 
Brian,
I was one of those people that tried to call you to help you setup an account. All I got was a recorded message after which I left a message with my number. I called you twice, and Jason called you once aside from Robert trying to contact you.

A few days later I got an email back from you accusing us of being bias, and then saying you didn't want to advertise with us anymore. I never got a chance to even talk with you.

I believe I still have the email that you sent if you would like me to post it here....

From now on, I would appreciate any more discussion of this issue to be taken off the board and handled privately. All advertisers including GameCalls.Net are entitled to post links here that are listed in the advertisers forum. Let them handle the sales for you unless you have changed your mind about advertising through PM.

They can promote the sale of your call through their website and link privileges here.

I believe Michael is right. This thread has deteriorated into a name calling, mud slinging affair. If anyone else has something to say to each other about anything on this thread, I would suggest going to private email. It could have saved some headaches.

Time to close it.
