Bassresource..are You Serious?

[GTrombly]

That's not fair.

<-----

Yeah right, you know you were fist pumping after you caught that striper...

[OHIO]

Why would someone who hasn't been here in years come and say something negative about the site that they don't frequent.

Why do you care if you don't participate in the forums? Is your life that boring that you have to start arguments over the internet to have fun?

Come on dude. No one cares about your opinion if you don't even use the site.

[Glenn]

Dont mistake your ignorance with technology for a poorer layout. I post on NUMEROUS forums and by far this one is the slickest I post on. The features are great, if you choose not to use them its your prerogative. That being said, this forum > your ignorance for technology.

EDIT: @ origonalposter I may not agree with what you say but I will fight to the death for your right to say it. But be careful, a little rabbit told me they ban people who speak their opinions.

Not true. Stating your opinions is openly encouraged. Your little rabbit was banned for doing something he knows was wrong and is embarrassed to tell you about.

....Fist pumping like a Champ!

Ok lets be quite clear in what i was trying to say in the first post, im sure your all good readers right?

It was never meant to be a put-down or a negative remark toward the admin or the site itself. I was just expressing my view on the layout. Its funny how a few of people that responded have been members for a shorter ammount of time then me. Dont worry though ill ask glenn send you guys the files in the old layout and you can upload them and browse around it yourself and then tell me which alyout you liked better.

When i said "computer savvy" i wasnt trying to say the site was hard to navigate, the navbar and everyhting is well organized, and the drop down menus. I actually didnt mean comptuer savvy, i guess i shoudlve been "forum admin savvy". How many of you actually moderated or admind a forum?

@Glenn - Im curious, you said the site costs thousands of dollars a month..Whats taking all of this loot? Im just wondering. Thats a pretty lot of cash to run a forum.

@Sfritr - with all due respect, please dont use the word "outsider" you joined in april 09 sir, shouldnt be too excited

[Glenn]

There's a WHOLE lot more to this site than just the forums. All the software, dedicated servers, cluster environments, etc. add up quickly, not to mention a slew of expenses unrelated to hardware/software (like paying developers, designers, and freelance writers).

There's also a HUGE difference between moderating a forum or two, and owning/operating a site.

I'm not going to dive into all the financial details because, quite frankly, I don't owe that to anyone. But suffice to say, until you own and operate a site with the kind of traffic and complexities BassResource.com has, you're not in a position to challenge it.

Let's forget the dollar cost of getting this site up and running, and keeping it running. For the sake of argument, let's say it cost nothing.

What about the hours it takes to get a site up and running, and keeping it running. The countless hours chasing down and fixing glitches. I'd hazard a guess, and that's all it is, a guess, that at minimum wage, the hours of labor put into creating and running a web site would far exceed the dollar cost of running it.

My take is that Glenn, or anyone else for that matter that runs a web site/forum, does not need to answer to anyone, whether they make a nickel or a million dollars. It costs nothing to join and participate. No one forces anyone to be a member. There is a saying, "You get what you pay for." If someone pays nothing, and gets nothing out of it, there is nothing to complain about.

If you get two cents worth of advice or learning, you are ahead of the game.

One more thought. Seniority counts for nothing. What various members contribute, be it their first, or their thousandth post is what this forum is about. Participation, and contribution, not to mention civility, oops, I just mentioned it, are golden.

Glen,

Aside from anything else you do, have done, or will do in life, you have developed a fine legacy here...congratulations; it's well earned

...just looking at my tag, VL would be proud of you.

[skunked_again]

[Senkoman12]

just remember on here that

[Sam]

So who is that guy fishing in the lower right hand corner????

[WhiteMike1018]

lol Sam, i was thinking the same, dude looks familiar no joke

[Red]

Bottom line for me, there isn't a better place for me to get information on bass fishing. I would be here each and everyday regardless of how the site looks. Glenn and the mods have done/do an awesome job with this place.

[Gatorbassman]

So who is that guy fishing in the lower right hand corner????

He's a member.

[Dalton Tam]

He's a member.

Looks like he could be from the Louisiana bayous judging from that picture. lol He must be a good guy! ha

[hootersdoug]

Glenn, I love it, but you knew there were going to be a few differing opinions. I think the update is great!!

[LP-Fishman]

What a joke. If you cant say anything nice then dadgum; don't say nothin at all.

[bigfruits]

first let me say i love the site. second, let me say i hate how 1/4 of the page gets cut off because of four ads over here --------> that are at the top of the page. after scrolling down its just blank space.

looking at nate's posts id say there are other issues going on as well.

ill be coming back here no matter what it looks like, BTW

edit- it would be nice if when you highlighted a thread title it had the first few words of the thread instead of the date and time. just a suggestion, feel free to yell at me if you dont agree.

[Captin Obvious]

I didn't like the new features as well but I learned how to use them and I am happy now.

This site is the best bass fishing site on the web, Glenn does a hell of a job running it, and all the haters can shut up and get off the forum.

[GLADES]

The recent changes to the site have made navigation much easier.

I like the new format.

BR is clearly the best fishing site.

[detroit1]

Speak your mind, brother Mike!

[K_Mac]

What has me "shaking my head" about your post WhiteMike1018 is the negative, attacking tone. Saying you're not happy with the changes, the format, the ads, even the administration is obviously acceptable here. While your condescending attitude regarding those of us who don't possess your superior understanding of the interwebz, and your questioning of financial things you obviously know nothing about may not get you bounced, it will limit your credibility.

I've been around a long time. I consider this site an enjoyable place to come and spend time with friends-old and new, discussing things that make me happy. If it doesn't work for you that's cool. Life is too short to swim up stream.

[grampa1114]

I thought everybody vented on this last month. Isn't this horse dead yet. If you don't like the site then strike a different key...get over it...
