Are these forums dead?

[mojofilter]

It looks like there was a ton of activity on here at one time, but not much going on now

what gives?

[bulldog]

A number of factors...

Foremost, the economy - glad that its slowly getting better!
Second, the physical departure of some great guys who loved fish - some moved, one died.
Third, the growth of IEMAS - this site was the starting point for that club's creation, but they eventually created their own page
There's probably other factors too.  E.g., I've got kids now which takes up my spare time.

I'm keeping the site live at cost to myself so that its info remains a resource for others.  And with the hopes that a new crop of heroes will begin to use the forum for the good of all.   

Feel free to start a revival!!

[mojofilter]

That's unfortunate!

I will do what I can to help the revival
