WILF 46,875 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I have said before, I think the site has too many sections......if it had a maximum of about 3 (hunting, fishing, general) then I reckon more people would read and join in with a wider range of things........as it stands, it's too spread out IMHO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ideation 8,216 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Its an issue really. We are on a discussion site, to discuss something which is illegal, and so discussing it is forbidden or at least very foolish. Other than the above, most folk would rather argue than have a constructive discussion, or tell an articulate story. But there are the odd gems. If those of us who did a bit and had a half decent ability to string a sentence together, started posting things, maybe the tide would turn? Or maybe not. One of the biggest frustrations is something hunting related with get three replies. And something about homosexual, islamic, gypsies will get three hundred. . . . . 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morton 5,368 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 It seems like every day I come on here there is less and less hunting talk and an obsession to talk about God and gypsies ....... Gypsies tarmacked gods drive,robbed is ailing mother and sold jesus his donkey. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to see an experiment where everything in Any way related to hunting or fishing got posted in the general section for a week, I bet you would have lads who wouldn't ordinarly post on some of those sections crawling out the woodwork and contributing right, left and centre. There's gun dog lads who may never look at the lurcher or terrier section who may offer up a different slant on a range of subjects, people who have never trapped anything reading and asking about snares and setting or fenn traps and making tunnels. You would have coarse fishermen reading about sea angling and non fisherman seeing it all as well......stalkers seeing dog work and vice versa. I bet you wouldn't see another topic about Islam or travellers or Jesus !! Let's call it a smorgasbord !! Lol 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,121 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 In all fairness Socks its people like you who should be starting more hunting related topics as you have far more experience and understanding than many of us........sometimes people make idiots of themselves by discussing topics they clearly dont have much knowledge/experience of where they would be better off just reading.....i dont comment much on hunting for that reason but it doesnt mean to say i dont read those topics with massive interest.....it just needs folk like yourself to get more of them going. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bet you would have some good input on dog conditioning though mate, also when people talk about Bull Xs you could have decent input on bull breeding.......everyone has something to contribute, maybe they just dont know it until they have read a few replies 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,763 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) The only threads worth posting are controversial ones, otherwise it just doesn't stimulate any debate. I'm not pretending I do shit loads or am anything other than average but I try to get out and do a bit and enjoy a variety or sport at that. These threads are ten a penny though. Other than a few nice pictures I have nothing to contribute. Edited August 2, 2015 by Born Hunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only definate in field sports is that you are always learning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not always learning, I've learnt it all now that's why I like playing in the "general talk" section so much these days 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
