kristian 9 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Got to be honest it's the for sale section that the most slagging off goes on! but you need a for sale section to help likeminded people to get the dog they want. As was said earlier if theres dogs for sale in the dog section and you have no interest in buying it then say nothing! problem solved some really good genuine people on here Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scent 509 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) no shit matt, but don't you think the dog men contribute alot to the site? Nope. you just said tou consider yourself a dog man .....but you previously daid dog men dont contribute to the site ,so your sayin you dont contribute to the site :wacko: Edited September 22, 2009 by scent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 160 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 no shit matt, but don't you think the dog men contribute alot to the site? Nope. How do you define a 'dog man' anyway? Someone who keeps a dog? A MAN? Or something else? I consider myself a 'dogman' purely because I cannot imagine living without a dog; but then, I don't feel the need to measure my cock against the next man, so does that matter? This whole 'dogman' is god issue is the whole problem for me. Look at the forum; the whole forum, and where are the most problems? In the dog sections. Look at the 'For Sale' Section. Is there a lot of bitching in the 'scopes, etc' and miscellaneous sections? No. But then, look at the 'dogs for sale' bit, and watch the fur fly............ It's just my opinion (and I know just how little that is worth), but this could be a happier place without the dog sections. That doesn't mean that dogs, and hound work aren't important; just that THL can't seem to control the shite that occurs within those topics. Now watch this thread hit 4 pages!

Guest traceyg Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 All you guys have to do is follow the rules . What is written on the top of the for Sale section . There is selling a litter of pups and taking the piss and lot of dog sellers on this site Just take the piss. Its not fair on the dogs and the genuine dog people This site isn't somewhere dogs should be re homed and a fast buck is to be made .New members selling dogs,members just using the site as a free advertising site will be removed . Dont turn this thread in to another slanging match or it will be locked Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds to me like you want people to try and argue with you. In case you haven't noticed Lurcher, terriers and all the dog sections are some of the largest on the site. If you take away those all you have is shooting and fishing, which all have many other forums, it's the dog sections that make THL so good, and if it bothers you so much why go in to them?

Matt 160 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Just to clarify: a meeting or medium for an exchange of views That is the OED definition of a forum. I'm not suggesting that the dog sections are bad, nor am I suggesting that they aren't important, just that they cause the most problems on THL. I'll ask a question, which, possibly, only the site admin can answer, but here goes; Which section caused this forum to be closed down a short while ago? I think I know the answer, but I'll leave it for you, the members to think about. I've made my own situation clear; I keep working dogs. I work dogs. I enjoy discussing dogs, their merits and their habits, but I do think (and again, I'll stress this is just an opinion) the 'dog' sections of this forum seem to attract the wrong sort of member..........
