As the title suggests, is it me or is the site losing its impetus.
Yes I know there has been a lot of infighting in recent months, resulting in banns being imposed and some members have decided not to contribute. But hells bells, despite the weather, my impression is, the site is losing its vitality.
What do the rest of you think?
I don't think that the recent infighting has done the forum any favours at all.
I love Barbel fishing but I certainly don't want to have to read about all the politics and infighting that has been going on in the BS lately. If I wanted to read this I would look on the BS web page not on a site like Fishing Magic.
There has also been a lot more squabbling between other anglers on here too, it seems that whenever a good thread appears on here it eventually reverts to someone having a slanging match which is very off putting.
Whatever happened to the old Fishing Magic where you could have healthy debates and read good fishing reports and ask for or give friendly advice and read all types of good articles about our sport etc. etc.?
And as for slanging off the new editor, Cliff is fairly new to the job so give him a chance. If he makes the odd decision that you don't like then give him a break, none of us are always perfect and surely you can give constructive criticism without trying to assassinate him surely?
If you love the sport as much as I do then you want a friendly positive forum, not a squabbling excuse for a forum that it seems to be turning into.
We have some great anglers on here who make some great contributions but this number seems to be slowly dwindling through all this infighting I fear.
Perhaps we should have a new section where anglers with a gripe or anglers who want to moan amongst themselves could squabble to their hearts content and leave the fishing to the people who prefer to talk about fishing LOL.
