    If that email, as has been shown, came into my inbox I wouldn't think twice. If, as suggested by others it went into spam, I would be highly skeptical and my first thought would be that the security of the site had been compromised and I would certainly never click on the link.

    Now... Would I have come on here and declared it a scam? Probably not. But to come on here and ask if this is legitimate seems logical to me. I certainly wouldn't go to the site I believe was compromised so going to a similar site with many shared members asking seems very reasonable.

    Fuzzybiscuit - Jeff is doing just fine. He has been since he left here.


    Gatehouse - it was not a "spam of the inactive members list"
    What it was was an email to all registered members asking for their input.

    I'm a member here and there. Those of you that got the email from Dan must have signed up and provided an email address. So put it behind you and move on, keep moving on.

    I was just wondering what the topic for the mass email to all (mostly inactive) members was about. Mostly out of curiosity, since the thread that was started with a very reasonable and legitimate question was responded to quite dramatically.

    Mostly I was curious due to the response. But it’s been a few hours and I don’t actually care about the reason for the spam anymore.

    I received the email, but knew exactly what it was about. A laid back forum with a great group of folks with a lot of knowledge. I quite enjoy sharing my ongoings over there .

    I logged in yesterday morning, but since then I can't get back on. The TNOF website won't work for me. Hopefully it comes back online again soon so I can check it out. They must of gotten a big uptick in traffic after the mass email and bogged the forum down

    Yes they did and it was fascinating to watch. They were defending Big Shit's like a sow Grizz defends her cubs.

    However my experience was that it wasn't a friendlier a forum and that's why I stopped going there years ago. It also sucked when they changed it to True North because a lot of the great classic informative posts were moved or deleted
