Title: Hey Terry....
Post by: Elksong on April 23, 2011, 09:30:00 AM
You are doing a great job. This site is the best trad. bowhunting/archery site on the web. I visit alot of the others and they can't even compare to TradGang!
I think that one of the main reason's is that you and your moderators are so involved. It shows that you guy's care about the site and the people gathering here. It has a family type atmosphere that you won't find anywhere else. Even if sometimes one of the kid's get out of line!LOL!
I have acted up a few times myself and made some smart arse remarks to you and the mods., but that is one of the great things here, you guy's ALWAYS respond and let me know what's-what.
Anyway, I saw the last post on the Ron Ollis thread and wanted you to know that you and the mods are top knotch people and are doing a better job at this web stuff than ANY OTHER site! Thank you!

I really appreaciate the fact that if a post is out of line or bickering gets started then it disappears really fast. We don't need that. Guys on this site are much more considerate than on the others, even when we do differ we remain civil. I to thank you for the great job. Much hard work for so little thanks.

Couldn't agree more!  Don't let the words of a few malcontents get you down.  Those of us that have been here a while know that you and the other mods / admin do a magnificent job.  It is important that you know that we appreciate all that you do to make this such a great site.

Yup.  I hope your were just spouting off- don't change the rules.  Only "home" site for me too. When you are a leader there will ALWAYS be people who disagree; listen to them humbly as there may be something to learn- then go on and do what you need to.

I am a newbie on this site, but I have been  involved in archery for over 40 years.  When I decided to go completely traditional, I visited several sites, but continually returned to this one.  This is the best archery site on the web, because of your RULES and the enforcement of them.  I believe that anyone that has a problem with the rules has several other sites to go to and to leave this one as it is.  I know it is usually a thankless job, but believe me there are several folks out here just like me who really appreciate the work you do - THANK YOU

Terry,
I can agree with all the folks here,(and do), tell you how great you are, etc.
I know from my own experience that sometimes it looks like there are so many alligators, that the swamp will never get drained.
Take some time, re-group, re-assess, and then come back.
I wouldn't know where to begin to do what you and the other mods do, but I do know that this site would be junk with out you, and the members who do care.
What ever your decision, know that we do appreciate you and all your efforts.
Via con Dios me amigo.
Pepper

I agree with all that been said already and i'm one that visit other site and out of all of them this is still the best.  If you need to know something Traditional it's "Trad Gang", If you need to build up your confidence and see that "you can shoot a deer with that stick" it's Trad Gang".  Thanks Terry and others.

I am fairly new on this site as well, and when I first joined I definitely came off with the wrong impression a far as some of the rules were concerned. I guess I thought it was a bit to much. Now that I've been here for awhile, I see it differently and realize why these rules are necessary. I am on a few other sites as well, but this site is far above the rest. Terry, Rob, and the rest of you mods your efforts are appreciated by me. Thanks

Hey fellow trad. Shooters. I’ve been hanging around this site for several years now and visit it aprox. 3 to 4 times a day for anywhere from 15min. To 1 hour at a time. There is nothing I dislike about the site except that some of you have more funs to buy bows then I do. Terry, you and the Mod’s do a great job of taking care of the site. Please do not let a few mess up Tradgang for the rest of us. I’m retired and need this site to kill the boredom on days I can’t hunt.

As frustrating as it is  Terry, as you know there will always be s**t birds in every  community but to give in to them means that they whipped us. What you've built here deserves much more than that. I saw Ron Ellis' adds and got s bad vibe, I feel guilty now about not questioning him directly. I vow to step up from now on and do a small part in keeping tg what it is. To all who value it you should too.

One thing I've haven't done this year yet is become a "contributor". You know, where you send in $20.00 to help out with the admin process. It'll show up in your avatar. Mine goes out this week.
Thanks, Admins, for making this site what it is, which is spelled out in the above posts.

Thank Terry, Rob, Charlie, and everyone else who make this place a high quality home for those who choose a simple stick and string for one of life's great enjoyments.  Y'all do a great service to all of us by having built and run a top notch site.  I've never seen the sharing of info and help that members here provide to old/young/experienced/newbies alike.....you fostered this and it works.....very well.

Here's mine.

This is my go-to site when accessing anything traditional archery or trad hunting. The way it's moderated is one of the main reasons why. The people on TradGang are the other main reason. Dealings with and getting to know folks like jarhead_hunter, stringstretcher, ber634, broketooth, woodcock and family, etc...and too many others to remember their handles, are plenty of reasons to keep coming back several times a day.

The way it is moderated is why this happens.
