Bassmaster Boards

I'm planning to spend a lot more time here if the discussions turn more toward fishing topics. I had over 800 posts over there, mostly bass-oriented, answering questions of the large number of new anglers wanting to learn "how to". They wiped all of that out in August without warning, with no chance to copy what amounted to a book on bass fishing. My post count there is now about 35 after a second purging in October. The INSIDER board is where most of the fishing talk happens, while the old board contains mostly chit chat. Apparently BASS is trying to make a chat board out of what was a fine club, considering all posts of little value, regularly dumped. If we can somehow get mostly fishing talk going here I believe we can get some of those folks to come here. What stimulates fishing talk the most is questions that get answers. We'd all enjoy doing that, I hope. I certainly did over there. I've taken a hard hit over loss of a lot of hard work, and having a hard time deciding how much time to spend in the future on any board. That was a huge investment of time I could have been fishing or doing lots of other things. But when I see people wanting to become better anglers stacking up with questions, I can't resist answering.
