Things seem to have gotten out of hand here with people cutting in on others threads or starting threads of their own, aggressively attacking members or those in charge.  This is disturbing to many and we have decided that it will stop, one way or another.  Here is what will happen to those that start in with that type of behavior. 

1: The thread or post is removed and you get a warning. 

2: If you continue with your attacks you will be banned from this site for a predetermined amount of time after which you can come back or not, your choice. 

3: If you still continue then the ban will be permanent.

This is exactly what I detest about clubs, chatrooms, and the like. It never fails, people insist on getting personal rather than just exchanging ideas, photos, and advice concerning primitive archery. What exactly is it anyway, lack of social life? Too much time on their hands? If more of their idle chat time were spent reading, listening, and actually producing bows and arrows it would be better for all of us. Let me remind everyone reading this, the  practice of primitive archery has been resurected for a very short period of time. Now it is in full swing, thanks to a select few. Thanks to books and computers we all have an oportunity to produce fine weapons with very little trial and error. Does this make us experts or masters? No. The majority of us are novices and apprentices, including me. We are not trekkies, we are archers, hunters, and bowyers. This is only the second comment I've ever posted. I listen and learn from the real master craftsmen. Thanks Marc for posting this subject, and thanks to all of you out there who truly want to share and learn.

One of the things that I have always liked about the primitive archery forums I frequent is the friendly and supportive atmosphere. If it isn't like that I don't go there!

Even if we don't always agree about everything, here we do this for fun so why not disagree in a friendly way? The vast majority of people who are into primitive archery are decent folk and PA is a good example of that generous and basically respectfull approach. I hope PA stays that way.

Same here. I haven't been around much in a while. It's a shame some people have let go of the great atmosphere this board has always had.

I support this completely, Marc.

Wow,  what have i missed???  i havnt been reading as much on the bow making section becuase i have been concentraiting on other things.. like the knapping and arrows section...

  but i have allways read and have recieved all positive responsives on this site...  that is why i love this site more than myspace or you tube...  i cant imagine anybody being rude or anything like that... most of the people on here are an edicate class of gentleman with great sportsmanship and hospitality towards the knowledge that they are soo willing to share.... 
  and i enjoy reading and learning on this site... it is a wonderful place to absorb sooo much knowledge and in the short time i have known of this place i have learned sooo much and have met through msg and have come aquanted with a better class of people that i cherish as a friends and mentours...  i couldnt imagine anybody wanting to mess that up...

  my 2 cents...

Mark,
What a great idea. ! Glad to see it. last time I was here and posted about some Philipino bows everyone thought I was trying to sell stuff" I was not trying to sell anything just trying to share some cool pictures of a Philipino bow here and holy smoke people were asking me to leave , All kinds of unecissary junk.  What a mess. Very glad to see it, Hope these rules apply to everyone High and Low.  Its about time to see this rule. pat on the ole back marc. I have been attacked pretty harshly here a few times.
