An open letter to the Trad Gang membership

[jacobsladder]

Tradgang is like a campfire that never burns out..Always there to warm and feed the soul with traditional archery....gotta love it.

[Brad Davis]

Rob, sent PM, email wont go through.

[Hud]

Thanks for all your time and effort to make it a better forum for the traditional archer. If it is worth doing, it should be done right. Congradulations on a great job.

[elkken]

This site is the best and I certainly appreciate the people who run it and how they run it. I have had many classified transactions with some fine folks ... and as for those scammers ... BEWARE we are hunters and you will not be able to hide...

[BowHuntingFool]

Thanks brothers for all that you good folks do for us tradgangers!

[rp65]

Thanks to all who run this site! I do alot more reading than posting on here,because I'm still learning. I do post a reply if I think I can help. Keep up the good work.

Thanks to all who have a hand in running TG!

I have had only positive dealings with others here. Regardless if there were or weren't classifieds TG would still be my "home away from home!"

Thanks guys and Merry Christmas!

Well, I think you guys do a great job. I enjoy this sight and try to settle into the PowWow everyday. I must admit though, I do go through the classifieds, but only because I have a couple of bows I am looking for, not in search of a deal! I enjoy all aspects of this sight, and have used almost everylink on it from time to time. It has so much to offer, and yes I agree, the classifieds are a small part of it for those who truly want the traditional experience.
I hope you can continue to have classifieds, only because I can't find some of the things I search for any other way, but it's loss will not keep me from visiting the sight as often as possible.

Thanks for all you guys do, I appreciate it.

I would like to add my thanks to all those involved with the management of this site. I would also like to say that the classifieds are not my reason for being on this site however I have had very good luck with my only transaction there.

I enjoy the classifieds a lot....probably too much. But that does not compare to the enjoyment I have " hunting" with friends I`ve never actually seen on the pow wow or getting shooting lessons on the shooters forum or....Thanks for what you guys do.RC

I would also like to thank everyone that helps run this site. The Classifieds are a great part of this site but not all there is to it, I have made many of great deals on here and never had one problem. Everyone has been more then nice and up front about what they are selling. My first choice is here if I am in the market for something because I know I can trust most everyone on here, plus I have no reason not to. But I understand people have been scamed wich really makes it hard on everyone. I have also learned more from this site and people on this site then anywhere else. Thanks for all you guys do

[StickBowManMI]

I also want to thank you guys for making this the BEST trad site in the world. It must take an extraordinary amount of work on the part of the moderators and site developers. Thanks again to All of you.

[Ben Maher]

been on here since 2005 and bought my first thing off the classifieds last week!!![ love my bison backpack !] and that was an easy and pleasureable experience ...
to a non tech head computer illiterate guy like me , doing business with a fellow bowman from across the sea is still kinda wierd !!!

still the best site going ,. always has been .

Thank you to everyone that runs this site.  I can honestly say this is the only website on my favorites list that I would miss if something happened to it.  Keep up the good work.

I know I've found myself looking at membership numbers when dealing with people I don't know.  Doesn't effect how we work but does give you a little more caution.

I just got a scam email from Australia this morning.

I for one would like to see the scam Mike. You may PM me the link.

It's a shame when Mods and owners have to deal with jackasses. You can waste someone's money, friendship, trust, car.....but you can NEVER get back time.

A jerk wasting time from the guys that run this site is stupid...I know.

[centaur]

I have bought and sold on the classifieds, and I guess I am lucky in that all my dealings have been very up front and honest. I hate the fact that scammers are out there, but it hopefully won't be the downfall of classifieds on this site.
This is a great site, and I thoroughly enjoy perusing it on an almost daily basis. Many thanks and kudos to those with much more computer savvy than me that keep this site up and running. You guys do a great job, and the fraternity of trad hunters would be lessened if you didn't do all the work you do. We appreciate your work!

[2fletch]

In the half dozen or so sales or trade of items on Tradgang, the worst probablem I've had is someone backing out after saying "it's a deal". That's no problem as long as nothing has been shipped. Overall I have traded evenly or sold fairly and that's all I expected.

Rob, we are lucky to have guys like you, and Terry, and the rest taking on the task of monitoring this site. I have neither the time nor the skills to do this, and I have a lot of respect for those who do. Without your efforts there would be no Tradgang and that would be a great loss.

I have seen others using Tradgang for their own benefit and I have benefitted myself. I will support any rules and regulations that will keep Tradgang at it's current high level, or that will make it easier for the monitors to do their jobs.
Keep up the good work. You are doing great. Thanks.

I echo the thanks and appreciation mentioned by all here on the job Rob and others do.  It isn't easy, I know.  While I didn't join with the intent to use the site to sell equipment and as yet haven't, it has provided me the opportunity to purchase some equipment I wouldn't otherwise had access to.  I consider that a plus but ancillary to all the information available from the vast knowledge of all the members.  It eliminates the re-inventing of the wheel. Thanks to Rob and thanks to all.
