Sorry to hear about your recent brushes with death, Muddy. And around the holidays makes it even harder to deal with. Man... maybe you should move to Florida!

Another year has come and gone, and what a great year it's been! Lake Fork, slow site, ICAST, server upgrades, and new forums. PHEW! It's been a busy year, with the forums seeing the largest growth ever seen! The forums are now seeing 500-1000 messages posted per day. By comparison, we had less than 300 messages posted on the old forums for the entire summer just 4 years ago! The growth is a direct result of "Everyone" here. All of you sharing your years of knowledge and being friendly to all of those that share the same love of bass fishing. I am simply blown away by how much this site has affected so many people in such a positive manner, and it's all because of you. I can only take credit for providing a place for everyone to meet. But it's nothing if folks don't participate. You all make that happen, not me. You give it heart and soul. I'm delighted this site has helped you, and honored you've stayed. So many intelligent, polite, helpful, and insightful people here....I'm humbled you've chosen this site as your "hangout". And to the mods - what a crew! I never dreamed such an amazing dream team could exist!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything you do here. You guys are phenomenal!! This site, these forums, have become far better than anything I ever imagined, and it's because of all of you here. So a heartfelt Thank You to everyone for your help making this site what it is today. Here's looking back at a great year, and looking forward to even better and great things!

And how many drinks did you have before you got the brilliant idea to try it out? I can just hear it now...

Good decision guys. Let's end this thing with a parting shot: It's stupid people who lack common sense doing dumb things that bring on stuff like this, and those people are from all walks of life, all denominations and beliefs, and all political parties. I like the comments about the spirit of the gesture, rather than the religious overtones. Those that cannot, or will not, understand that have deeper issues going on than what appears on the surface. Let's just leave it at that, and end this "dark" subject in an otherwise enjoyable time of the year. Would rather focus on family and celebration than the fools who try to ruin it.

You guys are too busy assuming 2 things: 1. That it's NOT a slot-limit lake (slot limits are very common; and you can keep smaller bass in a slot limit) 2. It's a public lake. If it's a private lake, state regs do not apply. 3. (ya, I know I said 2, but I'm the Admin, I can do that ), This is rather petty, honestly. Let's move on please.

Well, that's my point here. If you (the athiest, muslim, Hindu, etc.) want me to be tolerant of your beliefs and accept you for who you are, then you have to accept my beliefs and accept me for who I am. It's called tolerance. And it goes both ways. Getting upset and spitting out angry words does nothing to help the situation. And on that note... Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and for you Athiests out there... have a nice day!

You guys must live in some weird places. ;D j/k You never hear of that going on in my neck of the woods, which leans heavily to the left. I guess folks in my area are just more accepting and tolerant of other's beliefs, even when they may not agree with it themselves. What a novel concept!

Fixed.

Hmmm..... I find both those stories hard to believe. My BS meter is going crazy! : Not saying you guys didn't hear the stories. I'm sure you did. I just wouldn't put any credit behind them.

RSS = Really Simple Syndication. Other than that, Alpster got it right.

Ok, I can reproduce it. I'll work on it. In the mean time, use the search box in the upper right corner of the forum (by the magnifying glass). That one works.

Works for me for all those terms. Have you refreshed your browser and/or cleared your cache?

Great clip:

Suggest familarizing yourself with the Senko FAQ's at the top of this forum.

Fixed.

Pushing off the defender has been a penalty for a very long time now. I'm not saying that should go away. I'm just talking about the new "illegal contact" penalty recently implemented where the defender essentially cannot touch the receiver after he's gone 5 yards. Seems what used to be normal bumping during good, close defensive coverage is now not permissable. In NASCAR, we call "bumping" "just racing". :

Welcome aboard Jim! Glad to hear your viewpoint. The F-n-F method is something that I've very interested in learning myself. One question: is this only a cold water technique? It seems as though this could work on any day when the bite is real slow - especially when the fish are suspended. You thoughts?

Avid - actually I have seen a few go to the team I was rooting for at times. However, it feels more like vindication when they do it. It's like, "FINALLY one goes our way instead!" On another note, I think they should do away with the "illegal contact" rule regarding the 5 yard limit on recievers. It takes away from good ol fashioned football, IMHO, and has nullified many a great play this season.

I saw the game too and it was disgusting. Would love to see a game between Dallas and Pittsburgh - the refs would be in a quandry over who to favor! ;D

Thank you everyone! Very good observation. Yes, there were some performance enhancements with the upgrade, so it does run faster now.

It's always been that way. You could never change your username.

The following bugs have been resolved: Layout issues with Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, and other non-IE browsers has been fixed. The "All" link functionality, that shows all pages of a thread, has been restored. The "Away" PM message deleting all PM's has been resolved. The search function not showing complete results has been fixed. Open issues: Top nav bar not displaying correctly on select browsers. Been a long week folks! Glad to have all the major issues behind us now.
