...and say thanks.. Thanks for all of yall.. Without great members, this would be just a waste of electricity..
This site started as more or less a phone conversation between two friends... Two guys who had been on forums a while, seen people come and go, watched members express some of the same likes and dislikes.. Many of us have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly on forums across the net. Unknowingly before this all started, each of you played a huge role in the operating philosophy that is now TOO... Not just on one site, but across the net we saw an atmosphere where members were being jammed into conformity, hobbled, and moderated.. Why? Simply put, money.. Advertisers and sponsors don't like to have an ad somewhere there might be an off colored joke, a venting member, or somebody dropped the dreaded F-bomb. They want you to buy their product, but by the way, check your personality at the door... We'll, we simply got sick of it.. MEMBERS are the single most important part to a forum, and it's the members you better listen to. Because without them, a site isn't anything but a blog with an owner posting content.
We set out with a simple philosophy... A virtual deer camp.. A place where members can come to talk about hunting, fishing, complain about their women, and sometimes tell an off color joke. After all, what's a deer camp if you have to mind your Ps and Qs. We don't moderate what people say or do short of porn in the public forum, . But hey, if that's your thing.. We'll hell, we have a private forum for that too.. Just ask to join it...
Never did I think it would take off as well as it has. Most forums this time of year are slowing down as seasonal hunting members post less, In February we saw a slight lull.. But March is off to a bang.. You guys are heading into the turn after Deer and before turkey season at full throttle. While I have no doubts things will slow down some in the coming months, there isn't any real sign of it yet. To me, this can only mean one thing. Everyone must be doing something right..
So to all of you Toozers... Thanks... To our Social Media Admins whose volunteer task it is to promote the site, great job! But first and foremost, Thank you membership! Without you guys posting content. This wouldn't be a hill of beans.. I'm no forum guru. I knew nothing about this forum software or web hosting before we started out. I've personally put thousands of hours into making this a place you guys might like.. There have been some bumps in the road, some up time issues, and some bugs.. But don't worry, we'll get them worked out, i just ask for a little patience. And to that also, you guys have been awesome..
Once again THANKS!
