An open letter to the Trad Gang membership

[cacciatore]

Mod-Admin,thanks for your hard work to maintain this forum of high quality and safe.I think most of our members are very honorable person and serious sportman,if few scammers are able to enter we need to report them.The new rules on the classified forum are right and give to the member a chance more to controll those scammers.

[Shaun]

Good idea to make a few rules. You behind the scenes workers do a wonderful job. This is virtually the only site I regularly visit - first click after e-mail check.

I think Rob's use of the work "public" may give some folks the wrong idea. This is not a public service like public radio or a government office. This is a private web message site with controlled public access. Neither I nor anyone else has a "right" to use this site for selling or posting anything.

Thank you all so much for the work you do, the flack you take and the often unnoticed effort you put in to making this place so special.

THANKS!!!

[Russ H]

To all the Mods and Admin keep up the good work it is truly appreciated. I like the classifieds but they are the last thing I go to when I go to this site.(Being broke makes it easier to not look. The available wisdom here is remarkable.

thanks again
Russ

As I have always said, this is the best place on the web, bar-none. Thank You, all of you-out on the front and behind the scenes. It still amazes me the friendships I have made on this site. Some I have only spoke to over the phone and a few I have met in person.I have never met so many folks willing to do so much for someone they have never met before--Truly a testament to this site. The knowledge available here is endless and I look forward to a lifetime of consuming it! Again, thank you Terry, and Rob.

[Craig Schoneberg]

Have always enjoyed the site too, like Brad said, I don't post a lot.  I did sell a bow on the classifieds a year ago, it was nice to have that option  - will try to remove the one I have on there now since I don't meet the requirements.  Didn't know there was a problem - seems that there are always a few who ruin it for everyone.

My thanks though to those who have made this site available.

Besides all the knowledge gained, and amusement and fun I've had on this site, I've also been privledged to participate in several dozen buy/sell transactions with members and all have been Class-Acts. I now own several of my Dream Bows, which most likely would not be possible without this site that brings us together.
My hats-off to the fine people that make it happen, Thank You!

Archery and bowhunting have been my passion for the last 40 years. I didn't find this site until a year ago. This is hands down the best site on the web. Anymore I deal exclusively with other members and the awesome sponsors that support Trad Gang. With an accumulation of tackle from all my years I have used the classifieds quite a bit selling, buying and trading and all of those transactions have been positive. My hat is off to all that run this site, you should be very proud of what you have accomplished and thank you!

[sleepyhollow]

Here, Here      

[lpcjon2]

You guys do a great job! And if someone should get scammed then we can organize a Trad Scammer Bow Hunt.

[owlbait]

I look at the classifieds as a recycling center! It's too bad the scammers have warped it. I really enjoy the trading of knowledge and goodhearted sarcasm about the 'Best" whatever it may be. I appreciate the freedom to do so here that I felt was lacking at the previous site I used. Thanks for allowing us to use this great site for promoting traditional archery.

[John Kennedy]

Thanks for all the hard work,guys

[Wary Buck]

I don't know how you guys do it, but I appreciate all you do.  I have bought a Pronghorn bow from a TradGanger here and was totally pleased with the transaction.  I also have sold several items of clothing and/or collectibles to others and I would venture to say they were satisfied as well.  This place is a great gathering of like-minded souls and I appreciate it, though my time spent here is unpredictable due to work, family and hunting.  Thanks.  Bryce Lambley

[hayslope]

Certainly better to err on the safe side when it comes to classfieds.  I, for one, have no issues when you guys want to put some reasonable restrictions on who can post there.  Seems entirely appropriate.

'course, the older I get the more I want to keep everything I got......although my wife might have an entirely different view on that subject!!!

Keep up the great work and thanks.......it can't be easy!  Nothing worse than someone trying to scam folks like these members.
