The New Look

Well I for one like the new look going on around here! With all of the pictures that are on the top of the pages sure does make it a bit more warm and friendly, not that it ever wasn't, but just that much more! Good job guys, well done!    :campfire:

The pics are neat.. We get to see others that love the same sport. I enjoy pics with the kids getting involved. We need more young bowhunters.

Just today I was thinking about how Trad Gang has changed since 2003. Still a great site. My favorite archery site and without doubt "the" sight to be on if your a traditional bowhunter/archer. I do not seem to be able to log in here without seeing a photo of Dale and or some kind of 3Rivers banner.

Too many banners, ads, links ect,ect..  I understand this is about making money and that's fine but how much of this is too much?

I agree with jds3. All the adds just make it all confusing and way to busy! Favorite site by far so it won't keep me from coming back! Just have to get used to feeling dizzy!

While I agree that the ads do make finding gear vendors easier,and there's the money thing,it's nice not being pelted by ads everytime I come here.I'd rather look at kill pics than ads.  :thumbsup:

John....its never been 'about the money'.  The site was started to promote Trad Bowhunting in a positive light.  Well, it sort of got out of hand after a few years and got expensive and funds were needed as I didn't feel it right to spend my kids college tuition just to keep it running.  

Thankfully to those that sponsor this site....we all  can continue to enjoy it....    :campfire:

as terry has just stated, this was never ever "about making money".  

terry footed the entire cost of this site up until the point when registrations were flooding in, post counts went sky high, and we were so overloaded we not only shut down trad gang but every other website on the domain we shared.  we desperately needed our own server with unlimited file space and bandwidth.  

it was either shut down trad gang or figure a way to  have the site pay for itself while still keeping it a free and public forum.  we elected to seek help from both trad bowhunting vendors and trad gang members, and that's the sole reason we're still alive 'n' kickin'.

as of the beginning of last year we're now on our second whiz bang server - a much needed improvement since our old 2007 server couldn't handle the bandwidth required to run our saint jude's auction.  our 2008 saint jude's auction was a success due mainly to our members, but also because our new dual server environment easily handled the incredible auction bandwidth.

the new trad gang layout represents moving from an 800 width screen to a 1024 wide screen, as most computers these dayze are set for 1024 or wider resolution.  this affords us new forum real estate for more banner ads (the demand for banners was outstripping our supply!) and a bit more room for member banners.  

the top header portions of most screens has more "stuff" to see, and this is due to the increased screen width, while the header height remains just about the same!

thanx to all of you good folks for making trad gang what it is today - the largest single 101% trad bowhunting/archery forum on the web.
