What is counter productive is complaining about the lack of post while doing nothing to improve the situation. Reminds me of my kid staring at the fridge and saying there's nothing to eat.Quote:

The ones still here I hope are here for some good discussions about outdoor related topics free from the fear of being bashed.Quote:

I guess I look at it differently then you, based upon my little knowledge if nobody was to post there isn't much of a site, but hey what do I know, the admins know all. Maybe just maybe the admins should listen a slight bit to the people that make the site actually interesting. But hey what do I know.

If you want to make this forum lively don't worry about who else is contribution. Ask yourself "Am I giving as good as a want?"
I can't find a quote but when you chase away good people your site goes down hill, the site is less then 10% of what it was and you can slice it and dice it anyway you want but fact are facts and I highly doubt anyone on here but you and maybe one other will disagree with me.
Kinda like a small company who is rude to all their customers and then wonders why the get no business.
I have been on here much longer then you have and have heavily contributed over the years when you disregard your customers things go down hill fast. I really think the admins have gone blind or they are trying purposely to kill the site.
