Good To Know Minimum Post Requirements

I felt like that also when I first joined the forum, but found that becoming more active (even in those forums where I share little interest) has been beneficial to increasing my skills and knowledge in those areas where I DO have interest. A member I met in a shrimping forum (I had no interest in shrimping at the time) ended up showing me some great fishing spots... interaction is invaluable.

 

I understand your points. I am just saying that I am more active during the shrimping season. I plan on going to the RR bridge soon and will gladly share reports of my anticipated success (I wish) or probable failure LOL.

 

The exceptional aspect of our club is that it's not just about "what you receive" or "your needs", but what your able to contribute to the other members. While it's nice to log on to find out what's running or biting, it's also important for members to share other experiences and interests (whether good or skunked,lol). The forum offers a wide menu of topics that allow us to share in areas that are just not about "hot spots". It's really a very small price to pay to be involved with the wealth of resources at just the "click of your fingers". I see by your profile photo that you also have an interest in "convict shrimp", you'll find many other here do also. Look foward to reading some of your posts in some of our other areas (music, history, bloopers, etc.). Best of luck and many full pulls your way.

 

This right here says it all. While I did feel the rules were somewhat restrictive when I first started "surfing" the forums, I understand them fully now. If I had been allowed to just surf and glean info and not forced to get active, I probably would have done just that. And I would have missed out on so much.

Forums/Interwebs/Social sites these days can so easily become a clique of mud-slinging, quick-to-take-and-give-offense d-bags or just plain dead and dusty. The fact that this place ain't either of those is kind of boggling to me when I look around the web.

Thank you Nautical Gator, don't know how you've done it but keep up the good work.

 

This is a great way to keep an active forum! Keep up the good work.

 

Success!!! Think posotively!!!

 

Agree, not easy maintaining a busy sight like this!

 

Heres a thought to the admin. Perhaps a certain number of meaningful post and a nominal admin fee just to prove your a regular whether you posting or not. Would grandfather you in...just a thought. That would show a commitment which is what you really want. I know of several forums that handled this way and it worked well.

 

Thats awesome on the paid for option if i read that right.

Ill pm you this afternoon when i get off this trip this a.m.

 

is there a minimum amount of reporting I need to do per month.

 

I think the answer to your question can be found here Baccarac.
Minimum Post Requirements
Right after #4.

 

You better tell me exactly where you catch EVERY fish / shrimp or else I will kick you !!!!

 

that's funny good stuff

 

The real value of this club is the sharing of techniques, seasonal fishing/shrimping patterns, and networking with other fishing/shrimping addicts!

 

It isn't five reports, it is five posts. Many can only get out a couple times a month and, as long as total posts is five or more you remain an active member.

 

Hey Sam where do I sign up for the yearly paid membership?
