Do You Want This Site To Be About Hunting Again?

[dana]

Honest question? How many are sick of certain bullies that mandate their opinions and have taken all the fun away from HBC? Do you want to see real hunting and outdoor photos again and have real hunting stories again? Do you want to actually talk hunting instead of the dribble the bullies allow? This site was taken over by a very divisive crew and a whole bunch of real good hunters packed up and left because of that. Do you long for the days before that take over? Here is what I am thinking. Time to get all those hunters that left this site back. Time to make this site great again. And time to send the bullies and the trolls packing. I have been very busy the last 3 years. I have personally taken thousands of photos on my adventures over that timeframe. And unless you have followed my IG, you probably haven't seen many of them, as I have stayed far away from so-called hunting boards. Especially ones with a lot of trolling and bullying. Now, if the mods want to heavily moderate and nuke everything I say because they happen to be personal friends with some of the bullies, i will take my photos and create my own website. I have a solid base of 12 Thousand hunters and outdoorsmen and outdoorswoman that follow my IG. Many of those would be happy to join a whole new 'positive' hunting site. As an example, how many hunteress' do you have that frequent this site? Why not many? Could it have something to do with the sexism that this site promotes? In the day and age of Me Too, I am tempted to show the authorities certain member posts from over the years and out them on a Me Too campaign. These same members are the bullies that control the division of this site. Who thinks they need to go before this site can get back to being a hunting site again? No sweat off my back what you want. I can go and play in a different sandbox. But you won't have those good hunter dialogue that used to be here because other hunters will not come back until the bullies are dealt with. What say you?

I commented last year on having the mods deleting or not allowing so many silly threads .... ie sasquatch , conspiracy theories etc as other than being funny they are disruptive ....
whats a IG ?

Sure, some of the non wilderness related threads can be silly, but I think a lot of the political threads are important, and educate a lot of people in a positive way, including myself...IMO many of the other threads such as sasquatch, as long as they're wilderness or wildlife related, are good for this site...

I like that idea. Nothing like posting something and getting bombarded with insults and arrogance. This is a hunting forum right?

All you're doing is adding to the drama. I've seen a number of really good threads lately and after years of being a member they inspired me to start one of my own (won't be as good as some members who are far better hunters than I am ). Why not just post and enjoy rather than baiting the 'bullies' and trying to dictate terms?

That'd be my take. Bit of a wave of negative right now lots to be stressed out about with the recent gb ban etc. Over time it works itself out around here for the most part.

Sooo how many members did this site loose in 2014/2015 that never came back? Status quo is not going to unify hunters as a force that will topple the NDP. This site was indeed the unifying force to topple the Liberals. The only heavy moderation back then was if you didn't follow like a sheep to the slaughter you had everything you said deleted but if you were a sheep, you could slander as many honest hunters you wanted too with zero consquence.

I'm not sure what the allocation policy has to do with this (2015) but none that I can think of, I'm sure there was a few but I didn't notice.

Dana there's a few thousand active members here and they're not all going to vote the same party as you its a given. They're not going to agree with you on every issue another given. We need to be better than needing one single party to make or break our way of life. We need to deal with whoever is in power as best we can to keep our hunting heritage as unscathed as possible. Politicizing everything and making black and white is natural and many here do it but we need to look past that and build on things like the right to hunt and fish act. And we need to continue improving our image. I think we're on the right track for the most part with a few very obvious exceptions.

Sooo you voted NDP or Green didn't ya? And you still can't admit riling up the hunters in 2015 put us in the mess we currently are in? Good to know. "He has a list and he is checking it twice. Gonna findout who is naughty or nice"
