Mattm said it better than I could have. However, I can understand how yuo feel ("but nothing went wrong...there were no arguments"). But if we let it go, and it DID turn into a slug-fest, then people would be saying "why didn't you lock it up... didn't you see it coming?". So, we're in between a rock and a hard place. As LBH said, it's nothing against you nor your statements/beliefs. It's more of a matter of maintaining the peace around here. It's much easier to pre-empt a blow up rather than try to clean up the mess and hurt feelings afterwards.

Sounds like my schedule, except I don't work at UPS, and it's a business trip to the Columbia River instead of Cali. Hey...waaait a minute! YOU GET TO FISH?!! Joking aside, this is an all-voluteer corp, including myself. Any money "made" goes into operational costs (You can thank our sponsors for the new server). That said, the mod squad does a tremendous job here keeping things running smoothly. RW was being modest - they do A LOT! Without their hard efforts, I wouldn't be able to do what I do. It's as simple as that. Our schedules are not pre-defined; they're random on purpose. No telling WHEN we'll be here. Bottom line: We love this site, have a passion for it and the sport of bass fishing, and that's why we do what we do. P.S. I wasn't joking about the fishing part. :-?

They used to advertise here, and then the owner went delinquent on his payments to me. He never repaid his debt despite numerous promises and excuses. 'nuff said.

I noticed one day you just deleted your profile, without explanation. Left me scratching my head. Never got the impression you were trying to "promote" yourself, else you would have had to deal with me. That's no joke. I took your video posts as something in your life that you were sharing with us. Kinda like the "family" we are. Sorry to hear 1 anonymous e-mail pushed you away from us. Would have rather you brought this to the attention of myself or one of the mods instead.

Sounds like you had an awesome event! I'm certain the kids had a fantastic time. Way to go!

Pull the cowling off, then pull the hose off that attaches to the speedo. Shoot about 90psi of compressed air into it. Caution! Make sure nobody is within "line-of-site", as that wad of junk comes firing out at good clip!

Change the ping rate on one of them so they're not the same. That's step #1, and usually clears up most issues.

I'm going to guess they "upgraded" your browswer to IE7. If so, it's possible your security levels may be too high. IE7 default security settings are notoriously high. So high, it can block the login cookie set by this forum, so you can't login. To resolve: 1. Go to Tools/Internet options 2. Click the "security" tab 3. Then click "trusted sites" 4. Now set bassresource.com as a trusted site, and "ok" your way out. Should solve it.

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words and recognition. Russ only knows about half of the stuff did, but no need to get into the details. I really don't realize how big and complicated the site really is until I do a server move like this! Still have a little clean-up left to do, but the bulk of the work is completed. Again, thanks for the kudos, and thanks for being patient while I got things squared away. Glenn

Since the forums were down for a week, I have extended your end date by 7 days. This includes BOTH the forums AND the rest of the site, for those that are advertising throughout the site. Just my way of doing business.

It's a Mafia term, know what I'm sayin'. I tink ya doo.

Here's how to change it: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1185512887

If you're seeing "new" colors (i.e. a lot of blue), see this thread: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1185512887

Yes, it's the same login password you use to log into the forums.

Howdy folks, One small by-product of the move was that some of you have had your preferences reset to the default state. This is why you may be seeing a blue forum, rather than the tan one. It's easy to fix, however. 1. Click the "Profile" button up near the top. 2. Click the "modify" button, and enter your password. 3. Now click the "options" tab 4. Near the bottom of the screen, find the "Which template would you like to use" option, and select "BassResource" from the pulldown menu. 5. VERY IMPORTANT! Click the "Change profile" button. That's it!

Ok folks, I know I had enough of the slow site issues. Well, this new server is super-charged compared to the old one. I know it's screamin' fast for me now! Hope it is for you too. Gone are the slow days!! Enjoy!

Please give a warm welcome to one of our newest advertisers, Megastrike, Cavitron, and Evolution Jigs! While at ICAST, I had the pleasure of meeting Bobby Uhrig, president of Megastrike. He's a great guy with a wacky sense of humor (laughed my butt off!). I had the opportunity to look at these baits up close and personal, and let me tell ya folks, this is prime stuff! The Evolution jig is truly innovative in many ways, so much so it won an ICAST award last year. Now they're introducing a finesse line! Great stuff you just have to check out! For your reference, here is a complete list of BassResource.com advertisers.

I moved the entire site over to a brand spankin' new server. It was a major, major move that involved many intertwined parts, and some HUGE files. It's a ton of work to make it happen. Not trying to toot my own horn, but I've spent probably 80 - 100 hours in last 6 days working on it. Now.... I'M GOING FISHING!!

I want to give a big welcome to one of our newest advertisers, Triangle Sport! They are the makers of the Cyclone Linewinders - automatic line loaders designed for spooling up reels fast. They make both portable and permanent mounted models. Check them out! For your reference, here is a complete list of BassResource.com advertisers.

We're back in business again, folks! Whew! What a LOOOONG week! Everything should be up and running fine now, but let me know if you see anything odd. Thank you for your patience. Glad to be back!

Thank you for the well-written and informative post, Bluebonnet. Understand we do see a number of folks who try to hype up a company, only to discover they're connected to them in some fashion. When they're upfront about it, it's one thing, but when they try to decieve everyone, that ruins the credibility of that company. Thanks again for understanding. And welcome aboard!

It's as open as I allow it. I expect you to be respectful of others. So cool your jets there. We suspect you're associated in some form or another with them. It's best you confess your affiliation and be open about it. You don't want me to find out you're holding back. That would be bad.

temporarily, that is. (ok, take a deep breath!) I'm about to move the site over to a brand new server and host provider. This should alleviate the slowness issues we've been living with, and also give more capabilities to build upon. The bad news? The move will force me to shut down the forums, and the site may be inaccessible at times during the move. Hopefully the interruption will be minimal, but there's always that chance.. that guy named "Murphy" will intervene. IF that happens, rest assured I'll be working diligently to get everything back up and working pronto. Again, my intent is to do this with minimal disruption. I should be making the move within the next few days. Thanks in advance for your patience. Glenn

Ah... no. You guys are already pushing the boundaries pretty far, and that image is over the edge. Keep it clean and respectable guys. And remember, turnaround is fair play. So if the ladies start posting beefcake shots.... :

Hi folks, If you want to exchange links via PM, that's fine. But please do not post them here, as that site has had numerous issues with predators, privacy, etc, and we have a large number of underage members here. In fact, those links will be rendered inoperable if you post them here. Thanks for understanding!
