Forum Shutdown

[joey46]

Not this one. The long established Florida Sportsman forum will shut down today. Just an IMO but it shows me what happens when the heaviest forum traffic is in the Off Topic/Politics sections. I hope this forum continues for years to come.

We have a great group here. This is a turkey hunting, and all that is connected, site. Lets keep it positive and on point. Too bad that other groups suffer because of differences not related to the forum. Good healt and luck to everyone. Z

I agree, a great forum with an awesome group with lots of knowledge about wild turkey chasing.  It's up to all of us to keep the forum going forward... Shannon and his wife do an awesome job of overseeing this forum...

[GobbleNut]

Agree on all counts.
...And speaking for those of us that are barely tolerable, thanks to everybody for putting up with us for all these  years.

I enjoy this forum.

There is an air and presidence of decorum, and the topics of discussion generally center around hunting in some manner.  As long as I am opining about turkey hunting, I can be relatively confident that (most) discussions will remain civil, and hopefully informative.

However, I am also on other forums, in which there are sections for political discussion, and I also see value in this.  For many, there are fewer and fewer public forums to espouse their social political opinions.  Bannings on Facebook, Instigram, etc...

So while I would NOT want to see this forum change direction, and it is nice to go to some hunting/fishing forums, without falling into a political debate...  I also think it is nice to have forums in which political and social dicussions can be had and shared without the fear of being banned, or worse canceled.

I have been on and off Florida sportsman forum as long as it has been around (didn't follow the fishing forums much). I have seen some disagreements on here but I have seen some feuds on Florida sportsman that spanned years and would spill into almost every post somehow no matter the author. People posting information about wma's and waterfowl areas out of spite to other members also happened frequently

This is a far better place to be

THIS!  To keep this Forum going, we should do these 2 things and continue to SUPPORT the rules set forth by Shannon.  The rules were set forth to curtail things that Could derail the Forum.  Follow the Rules, Family Friendly with NO DRAMA or send them on their way.  Let's BAND together and make this a PRIORITY from every Member.  GREAT GROUP of individuals HERE!

The thing about this forum is the passion for turkey hunting.  I have had some disagreements about turkeys and such here and all save one poster have remained passionate, but civil. Some of the guys I have disagreed with are some of my favorite posters too.  Heck a few are on this thread.  But I never took it they disagreed with me, just with my opinion. 

Joey, was the guy on FS a bicyclist by chance?  I quit that forum a while ago due to the bickering. I frequent a saltwater fishing forum run by a friend and a lot of those guys have found it.  Seems like nice folks that have joined.  They said the FS forums were better than in years past.  I knew a lot of the guys and were friends with both sides of some that seemed to hate each other.  Weird bunch for sure. That was on the hunting side. Thought they were gonna lost their collective mind over trout and redfish limits on the fishing side.
