Fishing Community ideas. What are yours ?

I, for one, learned over time, that alot of the other "established" message boards were just that....already established. Over the past several years, I had always wanted to see another emerge, one for those of us who really dont take things so seriously, like others do. That's when Jim came along
I grew increasingly tired of peoples ego's when it came to fishing. Fishing for me is first and foremost, FUN. It is MAJOR part of my life, but I do not take it to extremes. I have communicated with people over the years who, in my opinion, make fishing UN-fun lol. My brother Donny always sarcastically said...."Everyone's a champion". HAHA.
In the minds of some people, their formulas, rules, policies, and ideas are the only "right" way to do things. I on the other hand, disagree thoroughly. I think a community starts with help from ALL angles and sides of the spectrum. The good, the great, young and old, newbies and graybeards...etc..
I just like the idea of a more relaxed atmosphere, one free of gangs, cliques, and posse's lol. I've seen people on other boards (myself included), hoarded and attacked by groups of people. All the while, the "Staff" does nothing. Never mind stop it, they dont even discourage it. Sometimes they actually even take part! To me, that is not conducive to a welcoming community. I vowed with every fiber of my being that I would not allow that to happen here.
A good community to me, starts at the bottom. Nowhere else. And I firmly believe we have a great base here. Like Jim, I still visit a few other boards. Of the several others I know about, I have boycotted one, and I refuse to even give them a hit on their site. Another one I still post on weekly because I know several people, and communicate with others, and they are great people who I wish to maintain communication with. And there is 2 others visit bi-weekly or more just to see how things are going. But for me, here is home.
I think alot of people will come by here and see how much different it is to be a member of this board, and I think they will like it. The day Stripers247 has a particular forum that members are actually afraid to go into and avoid at all costs because of fear of being attacked lol, is the day we take this board down HAHAHA :lol: And that'll never happen.
If I missed any words or mispelled anything, I apologize.....I type extremely fast, plus I am watching my Christmas Tree coral grow in the fish tank lol 8)

The Trail Blazers
It’s an area that’s very underdeveloped and has a touch
of industry holding it together the best they can. They
are somehow funding it with that little bit of industry.
The employees are for the area and they’re obviously
being taxed and the neighboring town holds a guide
service that’s not for profit for the reason that the marsh
needs to be maintained and they’re going unnoticed.
The loud guided airboat. Stop scaring the fish and the
wild life. 🙄
Now this place was breathtaking.
Plenty of panfish tight to the bank. They are large. As you
approach the bank they’ll scoot a little in deeper water,
An Oscar rod will do the trick. I spotted plenty of large mouth fry.
