Thanks! I appreciate that. Now I need to start posting more again to get more of the past visitors back more often if I can drag them away from facebook and other places...

Actually had a theme I found I liked better, but it had bugs I couldn't easily fix. Hope this works for everyone once they get used to it. Got a few mobile quirks to work out yet.

I like the new look Dan.  I would like to see the forum section come back to where we used to share info and ideas.  I learned a lot from a lot of good men and women on here.

I would too. It took me a long time to get the new website done. Other people's websites came first. I may have a little more time this year to start posting more again. Won't be easy getting lots of people back off the social stuff, but we can try. Many of them are still around. I hope to see some of them at the upcoming outdoor shows.

It is tough to pull them away from Facebook, but once you get regulars, they are the reason people come back.  BBC has been one of the few to actually succeed against Facebook.  My board died as my older members started passing away.  I'm not on Facebook, so you can count on me being around.

Yes, I was never as big as BBC, but it had been pretty regular around here before social media. I can probably get them to check in a little more often by posting more regularly.

Glad you're around. Everyone counts. I know others are stopping in and I remind them they can always post something. Everyone has something to say, and others are interested.

Once some regulars start posting again, things will pick up.  There are always Lurkers sitting back that just enjoy reading.  Nothing wrong with that but need people posting for there to be something to read.  I'm hoping you will be able to muster people back in to participating.

I worked on it some with members who stopped by the booth this past weekend at the Ultimate Fishing Show. Now, on to Outdoorama.
