Super User bilgerat Posted February 27, 2011 Super User Posted February 27, 2011 ...got in and blitzed TT's forums ? Seriously, that kind of sucks for them to have two years worth of forum data vaporize into the atmosphere like that. Was it an intentional thing or just a major meltdown ? Quote
Super User Root beer Posted February 27, 2011 Super User Posted February 27, 2011 Glenn was eliminating the competition. All is fair in love and war. ;D ;D Quote
CFFF 1.5 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Sounds like TT should have had a better backup solution. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted February 27, 2011 BassResource.com Administrator Posted February 27, 2011 Cal? The competition? No, not at all. If anything, our sites complement each other. I've met Cal several times and consider him a buddy. I wouldn't wish this on him at all. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 27, 2011 Super User Posted February 27, 2011 Who or what is TT? tackle tour. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted February 27, 2011 Super User Posted February 27, 2011 Ouch. Thats a major bummer. I wasn't the biggest fan of the TT forums, but there was still a bunch of good info there. Glenn, make sure you back up your backups that are backing up the backed up backups.... Quote
Fat-G Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 I really like the TT forums. It blows what happened. There are some INSANE people on that forum. Like insane. People spend $500 on a Steez, then spend another $500 getting it tricked out. Crazy! But, it's just like people that deck out their truck, collect guns, cigars, or play golf alot. Just another hobby. I did notice it started to make me want to paint reels and stuff of that nature, but then I took a step back and realized that was beyond "fishing" and somewhat took the fun out of it. I found I would be so focused on the "perfect" rod or reel I wouldn't think like my little bass mind normally does, which catches a whole lot more fish. Heck, I want to get a Dobyns DX744, but when I "take a step back" and look at it from the perspective of "I just fish ponds, and I'm 17" it seems ridiculous. I caught my PB on a $70 combo. I doubt a ~$500 combo would catch me any more fish, even though it would be 3 ounces lighter and a lot more sensitive. -rant- Quote

I've been on there a while now, but I rarely post. I prefer to search through the old posts to get the info I want. Now that the old posts are gone, I'll probably spend far less time there. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted February 28, 2011 Super User Posted February 28, 2011 Lots of guys on TT fish. Including myself. Sucks that this happened to them. I'm sure the content will be rebuilt in no time. Quote
