That's exactly right .Sad to see ya go.
But I can understand why, and it's not because of the ads.

You should reconsider. Stick around for awhile longer. After yesterday's debacle, I even picked up a new friend. Dave Omak decided to "follow" me. Not sure whether to be flattered or creeped out!This is my last post on SMF.
I no longer feel welcomed after the ad overload debacle that resulted in name calling and shaming members into paid membership. I don't mind the odd member classless remarks , but veteran/respect members resort to the same attitude and mods appear to tolerate, even validate it, until things get out of control.
Other than the last few days I truly enjoyed my 8 year membership, awesome advice and support, great conversations and good humour . I tried to give back as much as I was given. If I haven't succeeded I apologize.
All the best and keep on smokin'.
I tried to hold back on the first complaining thread but I cant hold back any longer.Drama. Good god.
So a couple members of the site decided to kick up the dust, now the whole forum is in trouble? That’s rich.
Can’t cough up 15 bucks to pitch in, but want a red solo cup to get a drink. The door swings both ways, in and out. This forum and its membership is the best on the webs. Want to leave? Good luck, no reason to spread poison here. See ya.
This isn't an airport no need to announce your departure. Buh BYE...This is my last post on SMF.

You can't fix stupid or stop haters from hating Chris, but you are right!I hope your not trying to turn this site into a battle of the premies vs. the scabs. This comment was totally uncalled for.
Chris
I will miss you greatly.This is my last post on SMF...Other than the last few days I truly enjoyed my 8 year membership, awesome advice and support, great conversations and good humour...
Afraid I can't agree with you re: mass exodus. We might lose a few members, but that's all. IMO, the VAST majority of members will still be here, simply because this is the best forum out there.And this my friend I believe will be the beginning of a mass exodus...
Certainly wish you would reconsider as I loved reading your post's ...
Absolutely right. There's no such thing as a free lunch. I know this because I've been looking for one for the last 73 years and still haven't managed to find one. LOL.The freedom thing was nothing more than a response concerning the moderators letting words be said. The way I have it figured, anything worth having is worth paying for either with a fee or aggravation. Wishing all here well and the best.
Completely agreed and I am gladly paying for my membership. Great site, wonderful people and a lot of knowledge!VAST majority of members will still be here, simply because this is the best forum out there.
Make sure to pop in with some fishing updates!! I always enjoy them and live vicariously through you l.My postings on SMF will taper off significantly the rest of June and thru about August. Summer fishing season is in full swing and we have yet to do repairs on the houseboat in Venice from hurricane Ida. I will be spending a lot of time down there and away from internet service. So my annual summer hiatus will likely be longer than usual.....just in case y'all wonder what happened to me.......
