Yeah Centaur....

Hub Bub?....some are going off more like Ape Sh.t.


If you were to see the folks that are loudest, most belligerent, and obscene, and being escorted to the door, you would see they only use the classifieds...that's why all the hub bub is about.  That's why its all happened in the last 24 hours.....they never saw any of the posts about it over the last two months.

We've even had people thinking we were going to charge for the whole site.....and one person asked if we were shutting the site down.

I remember inviting GUEST for FREE to many a hunting camp...They got to hunt, eat, sleep and enjoy the evening fire and fellowship...

Yet not ONE....not ONE....EVER complained about the $10 a day donation to the corn fee.

[Terry Green]

Sorry Mitch...I just GOTTA post this one....

Terry,

Man alive,

Keep up the good work Terry.....  I'm going to wait till the "Rush" is over for you guys, for my Contributor status change....

I'll get you two beers, one to drink and one to cry in... LOL...

I will HAPPILY pay the fee, and I would pay twice that if need be.  I am very new here on Tradgang, and would like to remind those concerned with paying a fee that the knowledge and fellowship available here on this site is absolutely priceless....and it is still coming, for free.  This is also a good time to convey my sincerest thanks to the moderators who give their time and knowledge so graciously.  I will be joining, if for no other reason to show support for traditional archery.

When 2013 is up and my contributor status for 2013 is over I will contribute for 2014.  Paying for 2014 now is how the NRA or AARP work.  See you in 2014.

Welcome Jake......you'll pick up some great friends on this site!

[macbow]

I've contribute the last few years. Mostly due to all the knowledge I've picked up on the bowyers bench.
Keep up the good work Terry.
I remember when you started up TG and the reasons and you've held true all the way.

...The archer within is never still, enjoying the flight of an arrow or an ethical kill

I spend countless hours practicing form so in a moments notice it will be my norm

I think of the woods and the beauty it holds as I loose an arrow in a stump of old

To often I shoot alone, so I'm grateful for a place that feels like home

The stories we share and experience we gain creates friends in a place that would otherwise be few

So thank you all for what you share because when you add to our forum you show that you care

I wish you the best with your archery delight and may you always enjoy an arrow in flight...

[khall1]

I'm fairly new as well to the trad. archery so I don't post many comments because i'm still learning, but love to read and learn from people on this site with experience. So I'll be happy to contribute.

I only have to add that, I would think that 2013 contributing members would get the rest of the year access to the classifieds. After all they paid 2013 with no strings attached, just curious?

[Ron Vought]

Not a contributing member just yet but will be here soon. For a living I do manage a very large  network from a capacity perspective and I would imagine that costs to keep this site going is more than anyone could realize. The fee that Terry is charging is probably not enough when you also factor in time.

Thanks for keeping this site going Terry!

Thanks,
Ron

Al,....don't know if you know or not...but I usually start the next year for those that contribute in November just something I started doing ....

The reason I started early is so it would be set up by November.  So, early has been my track record the last few years.  Also, I didn't want to try and do all this during the rut, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Also, we will do the same thing same time next year....same time.

Lets see.... clean, wholesome, amazingly educational, extremely entertaining....and last but not least, a bargain.  And you only pay if you want to play on the classifieds. Still the best site on the internet. Thanks

Thank you Rob & Terry...Payment sent

[lone hunter]

I don't have any problem paying the money, kind of consider it a finders fee, but I do have a question. If I send in the money now am I only a contributer for the rest of 2013 and then I send in $30 more for 2014 after the first of the year? Is this a Jan.1 to Dec 31 deal? Or, is it a year from when ever I send in the money? Terry mentioned November so maybe a Nov.to Nov?
Sorry, just want to get it clear in my feeble mind what is expected of me. Good Hunting, Mike

[Terry Green]

No...We are now making contributors 2014...and that will run till next year when we start over.

Thanks.

BTW...can you tell me where I said Feb...I need to correct that if I typoed somewhere.

[tomsm44]

Just curious.  I'm kicking around becoming an associate sponsor next year.  Will this automatically make me a contributing member, or will that be a separate membership if I decide I want access to the contributed classifieds?

Thanks for an awesome site.

I'm happy to contribute.  I learn a ton more here than I could from any $30/year magazine subscription.
