Forum still popular?

[BDL1969]

Well said 700

Yep..forum is the way to go. Learnt probably a lifetime worth of information in the short time I’ve been here.

Best thing about pier rats Is when Kirk posts the report. Other than that there’s way way too much BS..ppl posting pics of fish caught in other countries, on rigs 90 miles out, and
tons of ads and politics..maybe I am missing something somewhere. But I am thankful for the forum!

Yes, the club is small but distinguished... Lol

Count me as a proud member of the non-FB club...

[Haywire]

There are still non-Facebook users? LOL.

What's Facebook? I don't have time for such nonsense.

Thanks Pier#r. Good to know the site is still doing well. Got hooked on it about 6-7 years ago during our first trip to the Gulf. Looking forward to a return trip to the area and Pier.

About the same with me. Slim turned me on to the forum about the same time. I know my wife is tired of 2 or 3 times a day 365 days a year hearing what's going on at the pier!

My wife says I'm "ADDICTED"! I know I get agitated when it goes a day without a report. I use every function of the forum to try to learn from the masters. I hope one day soon I will be able to come back down and put some names with some faces. If nothing else maybe I could sit down and eat one of those amazing recipes I have seen from Mr. Relleno.

Dang Bill, you really have to watch your background when you shoot deer, don't you?

Those are the city deer, coming to munch on all the new flowers, before going to lay down for the day, not my hunting grounds like this

This little fella was looking for something to munch on before his daytime nap

Those are the city deer, ...

Kind of ironic how crowded some cities are with deer. I used to go to a driving range in Baltimore where there would be as many as 50 deer munching away at the weeds just out of range of a good drive. The critters were starving like the ones at Oak Mountain. Lots of car accidents.

My neighbor hoards feral cats -- just thinking out loud.

This quote from Pier#er in the very first response to the question says it all.....

”Here though, we don't usually have to weed through politics, namecalling, etc.”

I am an unapologetic lurker,...and echo the sentiments of several others who have posted,...I look forward to ending my day, every day mind you, with looking at the reports and posts here. And Mr. Haywire?,...yes,...what exactly is facebook? Haha.
Truth be told, I do have an account, but don’t look for my “profile”, there isn’t any.
No pictures, no timeline, no nothing. I joined only to look at one single group created for a childhood friend who died too young. Other than that I have no use for the facebook mentality, which is “miles wide, half inch deep”.

I love this forum, and forums in general. You get more depth, and better expressions of what’s on folks minds. Maybe it’s the format that encourages and draws to it better writers but for my time I’d rather read a hundred of Haywire’s hilarious, thoughtful, and inventive nuggets than a thousand facebook snarky quips....that for some reason I don’t ever seem to get anyway, so no loss there eh?

So,..yes, the forum is the one for me. But what do I know right? I’m the guy who when the last physical printed newspaper is delivered,...it’ll be into my box. Luddite?,...proudly so.
Thanks for the reports guys.
Working on a plan to be a part time resident in the next few years.
We’ll see.
