Thanks Java,

I've now registered, Not many on there at the moment but looks like it's in it's infancy, Be good too get this going because i reckon there's a need for something like this in the East Midlands area.
All the best.

Maybe they're happy enough with the discussions on here Java. Unless you're offering something FM isn't.

Im sure FM members are more than happy with the discusions on here Graham, After all FM is a top site and one that i wouldn't be without, It's the first site i go on after turning my pc on.
The East Midlands site isn't offering something FM isn't apart from it's aims are for specialist anglers based in the East Midlands too have a natter and a few discussions regarding the area.
I reckon theres room for this forum, the East Midlands is a big area with some fantastic fishing within, All in all if people like whats in the forum i hope you have a look in now and again, being very new it's barely off the ground yet, whether it gets off the ground or not is down too whos interested in being a part of hopefully a friendly bunch of East Midland anglers sharing a tale or two.
If it dont work we tried, If it does i hope folks enjoy it for what it is.

Regards,
Steve.

Thanks Richard,
It might take awhile to get going if indeed it does but thankyou for your support thus far it's very encouraging.
A few things in the pipeline so keep on looking in mate, One chap in particular is a unsung hero who's been an absolute diamond since we started, Thanks mate!!

Thanks Monk,

There is absolutely nothing wrong with FM mate and has i stated earlier it's the first site i log onto, Yes i agree there is too many angling sites on the net, I only go on FM and one other single species site that has any interest for me on a regular basis, the other sites are too much the "same" theme but without the quality of FM.
The site we've tried to get going has too be honest took us by surprise in positive responses, None of us who started it up are top anglers and im absolutely certain no-one would of heard of us before so we're definately not trying too impress anyone with our fishing skills, One thing we have in common though we are very serious about our fishing, we do no harm too the fish we catch or annoy other anglers, we leave no rubbish behind us, help others if indeed we can and all agree the need for an open East Midlands specialist forum for local anglers too have a chat.
Hopefully no harm in that Monk?

Why are you shouting Richard? If this topic upset FM members, some-one would have reported it, and then it would have been deleted by Graham(site owner) who has seen fit to allow this thread to run, even though it is advertising a rival(as some people may see it) forum.

Thanks Monk,
I dont think we need to promote FM because im absolutely sure a good proportion of our 37 odd members already go in he're anyway;-)
I will however post a our "friends" thread up in time.
I would like to thank Graham for allowing this thread to go on and with hindsight before any thread went up we should of asked Graham if he would allow it on FM, For that i appologise to Graham and will e-mail him in due course.
Cheers guys,
Steve.

It might just be me I don't know.
But for somebody to come on here advertiseing what could be a rival site is more than a bit cheeky, in fact it is down right rude. And as far as I am concerned unacceptable. But that has nothing to do with me.

You can flower it up with all kinds of appologies and excuses, it just isn't on as far as I am concerned.

Okay, I come from a different generation where loyalties counted for something.
Put another way, if I had a website advertiseing landscaping and the like, and then somebody jumped on saying come and have a look at my site, I don't think I'd be too happy after plowing money and time into what was my site. Why should anybody use this site as a springboard for their own business?

Just my thoughts folks, and I'm sticking to em.

Hi Baz!

Points taken, Ive not come on he're to make enemies so if people feel has strongly has you Baz can the powers that be take the thread off?
Ive absolutely no problem with that at all.
End of the day Baz i work fulltime have a family and have tried this in my sparetime too try and promote a helpfull forum for fellow anglers, If i was taking buisness off anyone i wouldn't even entertain it.
Somehow i dont think this new forum is gonna effect FM's popularity, Blimey we've only got 37 members, Hardly a threat?
Regards,
Steve.

p.s. Baz stop looking in on something you feel so upset about!!;-)

p.p.s Your not the one that rated the site as a complete waste of your life are you?!
