That makes two of us. I'm a refugee from the FS staff as well. I won't need to reintroduce myself to you and Gary.

Nice looking forum they got here. Marlin mag is a good looking magazine as well.

Notice Gary is here too.

Hey Ron. Very sad state of affairs at FS.

Disheartening is the word that comes to mind. I know it is for me at least but I imagine others as well.

But hey...

There loss could be someone else's gain. -cough-me-cough-

Disappointing is too kind a word. FS developed the notion of on-line virtual community long before the social networks of Twitter, My Space and Face Book were even conceived. That's what put it in the market leadership position it had and why IMHO such an obscure regional brand out-distanced these formidable titles for example.

I don't know if they ever really understood what an integral part of the members lives was invested in it.

As we see in this thread people are looking for something to replace it.

I for one hope that the guys fumbling the ball with the re-development and roll out are not resigned to simply abandoning the core users to other sites and relying on the brand recognition to carry it through this catastrophe.

Hey Ron, Nice to see you here.

Gary, you hit the nail on many heads with that post. Well stated.

[Gary S. Colecchio]

Yeah, sometimes I get the muse.
