I know we are in the same state, but I don't think I could get a beer over your end with a cannon.

This isn't an airport no need to announce your departure. Buh BYE...

Been a member of too many forums that feature members like this. Late to the party, upwards of 30 meaningless posts a day, love being the center of attention, and attack anyone who doesn't share their questionable opinions. How is this contributing?

Excuse me we do expect fishing updates and pics I mean come on we can't all go fishing all the time so we need to see updates and see pics so we can at least dream of fishing.
I did get my flats boat out of the repair shop today after some mechanical and fiberglass work but the water temps are to high to catch much other than sharks on the flats around here right now

Sure...I'll post pics.

I've seen flats boats out at the rigs when the weather is calm. Here you can be in 100' of water and still see land if you fish close to the mouth of the Mississippi river. Less than 5 miles out.....

It's not . Why do the majority of members that contribute in a positive fashion and follow the guidelines have to subjected to that nonsense day in and day out ?

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.......

so long as you come on back

Some of them shrimp he gets right off the boat would be sweet.

I'm confused, I log out and don't see any ads?
What, am I one of the few that uses an adblocker?

There are a few work arounds, but if the forum software catches your blocker, the site will not work.

Just out of curiosity, I logged out and then returned to the Forum. YES, there were a few ads but NO, they didn't block my view of any posts. Nor were they at all annoying. I'm a lifetime member, but I would have no problem enjoying the Forum as an unpaid member. Now I have a quandary--I'm at a loss for words on the subject. And, being "somewhat opinionated" that doesn't happen very often.

Gary to be fair I think they have started or have corrected the problem somewhat I don't think non premier members will ever see zero ads.

And, it sounds like the users who had the biggest issues with ads were on phones or tablets. I am on a MacBook Pro 95% of the time, so even if I did not pay, I doubt the ads would render the site unusable.

Whatever they did it's working fine. As a non-preemie I see adds at the end of each post, one at the bottom of the page and a couple in the right hand margin. None of which are very intrusive. My screen does seem to jump around a little when I first open a thread to read, but that's just the adds loading and isn't a big deal. Thank you.

I’ve been on enough sites that I enjoyed, and know many of the (other) site owners/admins and how much effort (let alone $) was required keeping them up. I gladly help support those, and wouldn’t care if there were still ads or not. The content and comraderie are more than worth it.

Also, over several decades (since flame fest newsgroups like RecAudioOpinion) I’ve developed a keen ability to just scroll on and disengage when the occasional and inevitable brushfire pops up. They go out if starved for oxygen. Just a little disappointed in the (vast minority) of folks that prefer using gas cans.

I could have just scrolled over this one too, but at least can add another voice grateful for the effort and civil discourse here.
