This is very special place for me, both for trading ideas as well as bows. The work here to maintain this site is greatly appreciated. In this Christmas season I thank you all for your hard work.

Where else do you see so many give aways, honesty in deals and above all free advice. I know without doubt that I could never be the archer I am today without this site.

I've been a member here for a long time and I really think this is a well run site. Thank you for all your time and hard work.

Thanks again guys!!

Well Guys, I joined not too long ago, but stand on the same ground as you do about this site. I really appriciate the work and effort that goes into this site. I also have used the classifieds with much success. Thanks to all the mods and admin.

You guys are doing JUST FINE. while I enjoy the classifieds, the real value I get is reading posts in the pow-wow, and finding out where the shoots are.

Lot's of knowledge can be gathered by just listening (reading)

I haven't posted much, but you would not believe the hours i have spent on here. This site is like an addiction for me. I enjoy reading all the opinion's on various subjects. Very interesting!

The classifieds are a great benefit to the site and i hope that certain people don't ruin it for the rest of us.

To everyone that helps maintain this site, I thank you for your dedication and hard work.

Happy Holidays !

It is indeed a shame that something like this has to be done. That being said, it is quite understandable, in today's day and age.

Thank-You.....for doing all that you do, to keep this site what it is.

I always list stuff here first because I'd rather a Tradgang guy get it before someone from the general public. If it doesn't sell, I can always list it on the OTHER place later.

I've sent stuff out many times before the payment has come as I consider most of you here trustworthy. The ones that cheat lie and steal have no business here to begin with. I don't envy admin trying to figure a way to pick thru us all :-(

freefeet · December 16, 2009, 08:37:00 AM

I don't think the true Tradgangers will be affected by this.

I hate scammers. Trust is one of the most valuable things any person can have and scammers destroy that with their greed and selfishness - so good riddance to the scumbags!

Shinken · December 16, 2009, 08:52:00 AM

Thanks to the moderators for all of their efforts in maintaining this site! It truly is one-of-a-kind on the internet today.

Your valuable time is most appreciated.

2010 is going to be fantastic year for Trad Gang, again, thanks to the moderators!

Shoot straight, David Camp

There will always be growth pains and the Gang is a fast grower. I think Terry and Rob held off from making the changes for as long as they could. These changes are very modest and about the least painful possible for the membership(a lot of pains for Admin though) Quite a bit is done here to protect the members and most of it is never seen by a lot of you. Please pay attention to the Hall of Shame list. A person listed there is back to their old tricks on another site. If they can't deal straight here, odds aren't good on them being straight shooters elsewhere.

Keep up the great work Mods

Bill Carlsen · December 16, 2009, 09:05:00 AM

I've been a member from almost the beginning and I think that of all the archery sites out there this is the best. You have more info and catagories where I refer people from other sites to check out.

Regarding the classifieds....I have over 50 years worth of stuff that I seem to find a periodic need to deal with. I've done business with a bunch of guys over the years both selling, trading and buying. The best and safest way I have found is to handle all money transfers via Paypal. It's fast and safe...never had a problem and they have there own internal problem solving procedures.

Thanks for a great site and I hope that your problems with the classifieds become minimal.

Bless you guys doing the dirty work of keeping the TG house clean.

Hope you have the best Christmas ever!!

frassettor · December 16, 2009, 09:25:00 AM

I appreciate it so much here that if it would cost me money to be a member here I would still be a member here!! I appreciate EVERYTHING the Mods, and Rob does here to keep Tradgang going.

Even though I only spend about 5% of my time on the classifieds, I do appreciate the classifieds. There will always be a few of those people that will cause ripples in things, and not adhear to the "rules and the code of ethics" that what makes Tradgang special.

I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE "PEOPLE" Thank you so much to the people that make Tradgang my "home away from home"!!!
