Am i missing something or is the Anything else dept. gone ???
-
OMG IT IS!!!!!!
-
where'd it go? ???
-
It's still there. You guy's just can't see it. After repeated warnings, some people can take a Thread on butterfly's and find a threat or conspiracy by the Government or Gays or Immigrants. Just stay tuned it's getting an overhaul.
-
Its a conspiracy the mods are after us. Dont tell them anything. Stock up on food and ammunition ;D
-
;D ;D
-
aww hell what did I miss this time? i hope it wasn't as bad as all that Eddie :-\
-
Just call it the "snowball effect".
-
sounds more like an avalanch :o
-
People need to quit wearing their Feelings on their Shirtsleeves..man are We all becomming a bunch of Girliemen..Gawd.... :-X
-
Thought it was just me, it told me the forum was gone or I was not allowed access.
I think the Mods ARE the conspiracy!!! ;D
Swamp
-
So it was there, and then it wasn't. Sorta like the mother ship some guy from Montana, told me was coming back for him someday. Oh, and when it does the rest of us are really in big trouble.
-

Done ;D, Don't forget the coffee.
I kind of figured this would happen. People take stuff way too seriously. I'm finding that if you see something you don't agree with, just ignore it. You're not going to change anybody's mind and you won't get yourself in any trouble.
-
PA is getting to be just a big soap opera anymore with people crying and whining all the time. Maybe the Mods should start a new section
on this forum and post all the threads that got ''outta hand'' so we can all read what happened ::) With title's like:
The worst moment's in PA forum's history
Grown men just wanna cry
Angry fingers and keyboards don't mix
That hurt my feelings
and the list goes on, so stay tuned... >:D
-
well here i thought maybe i was just loosing it ;D
-
Look on the bright side, we might get some bows built while we are not playing days of our lives. I know I am looking forward to reading about bows and working on bows for a change. ;D
-
well does anyone know when it'll be back up? i need to post adb's finished western diamondback pen before bedtime. us kids need our beauty sleep :'(
and if i don't get my sleep i get cranky.... >:D
-
...just put it under 'primitive skills' One of the Mods will move it if necessary when it comes back up. That's what I would do... :) :)
-
That's what I would do too. Or PM the person you are trading and Showcasing your trade goods or Email. This kind of stuff should have been done on The Trade Blanket.
-
What happened? guess I am out of the loop. Hope you guys get it overhauled quickly, I like reading the posts in that section.

If folks would just stay on topic and like others have said if you don't agree ,just agree to disagree
it would be fine,but some[a few] just can't seem to do that.I have oppions like everyone else
but usually keep them to myself,I know I ant going to change anyones mind.That is exactly why I don't allow Politic and religion around my camp fire.You find thing you really don't want to know
about folks and you sure ant going to change there minds.Live and let live,if you don't agree
just ignore it and move on.That's what I do or delete it. >:D ;) and please alto it is allowed
[for now] to have other topics,that is what Anything else was for try to keep it related to archery,
bows;arrows,tanning ,game taken as much as possible.It's hard for me to believe that most topics that get out of hand the person that started it don't know what is going to happen. :) I can tell
from the opening comets where it is going to wind up. :) Stop you winning,Life is good but sometimes you have to work at it to make it so. I usually don't get involved in this much but that's my 2 cents worth. You know what they say you get what you pay for. ;) ;D

More than that there's a few who like to "flirt" with the rules and post unacceptable comments, you guys know who you are. They are the ones who are primarily responsible for the need for change
We've been letting some people get away with far too much and that is going to change. If you guys want to remain as members then you better shape up or you are going to get shipped out
-
I'm glad to see the harder line, I think things have already recently improved to an extent. There are a million places to stir the pot on the internet, don't know why it needs to be done here.
-
Seems like lately every thread there no matter how it starts winds up being hijacked into political territory by halfway down the first page.
-
I'm sure I played my part in this and I apologize :) Hard for me to keep my opinions to myself sometimes as well but Pappy's right. Sometimes its best if we just just keep it to ourselves.
I like the anything else section because its a good place to interact with the other members on different topics. Kinda like a campfire section where we can discuss random topics within our community. I learn more about the people on the board in this section than any other. Most people I've met on P.A. are great. Only about 2 that have bugged me a bit but I can still tolerate them just fine ;D
-
Dang, Eddie!.....You mean the Government is conspiring to import gay butterflies ? :o Does that mean our national honey production is threatened? I'm going to go out and stock up now before the shelves are empty! :o Hey, was that a piece of sky that just fell? ::)

guess if we gotta stock up on ammo, i might as well order that 500 of bamboo and a couple hundred more turkey feathers..
-
I already got a whole lotta 22lr that will do it.

Dana, your response above reminds me of a guy I used to work with......
he would get the boss all fired up over something then ask him "ya still love me ??" ;D
-
Pappy, I for one am happy to engage folks in discusions about politics and religion. I end conversations quickly though, if it becomes derogatory or disrespectful. If it dissolves to that point why continue?

Just be happy to do it somewhere else. ;)
-
I was afraid it was because I posted a picture of a cross bow and a thank you to orcbow for his build along!! :)
-
Lowell, not unless the Crossbow was a religious symbol. ;)
Glen, look what Dana stirs all day.
-
wow you guys got issues. i remember when dana and i were running things this stuff never happened. >:D

Now whose the trouble maker :o :P
-
I guess the thing to do is to read the initial post, read all the posts after that, go back and read the initial post again and then post your comments. If the comments get highjacked reading the initial post again before posting will hopefully keep the thread on track.
If the powers that be do not want discussion about non related to archery stuff then they should not reinstall Anything Else. I will miss that " setting around the fire" element though. Semper Fi,
-
Grunt, we do want the "sitting around the fire discussion" if it can just stay away from politics and religion. Somehow it seems someone can post a possum recipe and it winds up being a three-page argument about gun control in Kyrgyzkstan or how the DNR has failed in its possum management stategy because of the secret liberal conspiricy agenda or how public schools are in league with PETA to promote interspecies marriage. ;D
-
Just had a great idea, a section just for politics and religion, the moderators can ignore it, and dana can be in charge!!! =)
-
Lol jamie ;D. Seriously not a bad idea though! Don't go to that section if you have thin skin and it would all be contained in one area outside of archery related stuff...
-
And then it bleeds over into other forum sections and starts flame wars, like some other forums I could name. I've been guilty of posting political comments in Anything Else myself and that was wrong. I think it's the lack of a Politics-N-Religion forum that keeps this site so great. I support the no politics-no religion policy.
-
Great one Hillbilly... I think this should be todays "phrase that pays" ;D
the DNR has failed in its possum management stategy
-
wow you guys got issues. i remember when dana and i were running things this stuff never happened. >:D
It must have been bad, that is why you couldn't hack it any more and ran away screaming like a little girl. ;D

I'm just being honest here. I have a hard time understanding where the line is drawn. I see its mentioned about religious discussion. Say someone is talking about a bow or item being "good medicine" is that considered religion? Or is is it references to "mother nature" These are both highly religious I agree but hardly offensive. Im just not sure what you are referring to. Is it mentioning God or prayer? These are pretty much the same comparison but also hardly offensive. So if we cant mention religious things then we need to define religion itself to make it clear. In my opinion your Religion is simply what you believe in. If you dont believe in religion then thats your religion. If you believe in whatever theory it may be then that is your religion. This guideline makes it pretty hard to avoid discussions that contain religious beliefs. I think the rules should simply state DONT ARGUE ;D

Jesse, we recognize a difference in spiritual and religious. A good example is prayer requests are spiritual because you can choose to prey to whatever God, Being, Power, Creator, or whatever you choose. Good Medicine is often thought of as a Pagan idea. But when someone says Good Medicine, you could interpret that as good karma, atmosphere, aura, fate, feeling, kismet, power, vibrations. DON'T ARGUE can be interpreted differently. Some people call it debate while others call it just plain rude. The truth of the matter is that some topics will always end in fights, so they are better left out. We are thinking long and hard on how to address this issue to allow for comunity discussion while keeping the peace.

10/4 Good luck :)

We will need it. ;)

I think that there is no single solution to this deal. Objective stuff is slippery and hard to get ahold of. I think that the moderators are going to have to do occasional maintenance just like what's happening now.
-
One of the easiest solutions, is to come on here and respect each other. It seems lately, the ones that are confrontational, argumentative, or just plain rude have not made many post on this site. And there seems to be a few that have not contributed Archery related post unless it's attacking somebody that actually builds bows or arrows. Or is a Philosophy Major , or on the Debate Team and just wants to nitpick and has probally never made a bow, arrow or anything archery related,
That means for Mod's it's not hard to spot the same people over and over, each time the thread starts down that same ol' path. I know when I go on to check on things and I'm sure the other Mod's do too, I search for certain names just to see what they are stirring up now.
If you guys would treat this site like you were at a hunting lodge sitting around the fire with 10 people you didn't know then it wouldn't be a problem. Unless your Momma didn't raise you to respect and be tolerant of other peoples' belief and feelings.
To intentionally bait and try to piss somebody off just for your self gratification is juvenile and just plain Rude.

i wanna get on eddies list and im gonna try real hard. >:D
justin,i didnt run screaming like a girl . i crawled away like a beaten dog. ;D
-
Jamie, I get real bored sitting in a Motel. >:D ;D ;)
-
maybe you guys should stop commenting on this thread... not trying to be rude but you guys are talking about threads getting jacked(although this is not about religion or politics), so maybe you should just leave it at this... but i also believe that alot of people always want to get the last word in; i think it makes them feel like they have the upper hand at whatever... JMO

So play with the Toys that Your Mama gave you............. :P

Looks like we are getting close to some final decisions on how to help this category. Hang in there everyone. it's almost sorted out and I think we are all going to be pleased with the changes. ;)
-
Holy cow, I never whent to that forum but surely it looks like someone was going nuts,.....now I wish I did brouse and read some of them threads ;D
-
Just had a great idea, a section just for politics and religion, the moderators can ignore it, and dana can be in charge!!! =)
This could be the making of a "reality show" ;D. Dana can only moderate after a few adult beverages.

Believe it or not, the majority of the members enjoy having it. It's just a few who are causing this problem, and the rest of the members shouldn't have to be punished because a handful of people have no control over their typing fingers.
-
The words "Anything Else " might be giving too much leeway to folks. How about renaming it? Maybe "The Campfire"? Or something like that. Just a thought.

Grunt, you must be psychic. ;D

I don't know if I'm psychic, maybe this winter weather is affecting all of our minds.

I just wish it was back...so I could update some of my Threads...and let People know what is going on....... :'(

I surely agree! Though likely for lesser reasons...but where else am I going to post my latest creation?

See...it wasn't really appropriate here...I just did it to serve my point (and I really proud of it and felt robbed that I couldn't share in my 'nother craft thread)

All you have to do is email a Moderator...and ask them to add the Thread to the Campfire Thread....just that Simple........ :P
-
hmmm...when I looked for "anything else" I didn't see it...and, oddly, I didn't look for anything else.
I''ll have to make this request, likely, or start a new one. We shall see. Yes. Yes we shall.
-
Makenzie, If you can remember the title or the jest of the thread one of the Admins or Mods may still be able to pull it back up and move it to "Around the Campfire".
-
Thanks! I just made a new, though. My domains have recently adjusted a bit so my old pictures won't come up any way...I'll have this one for a while so it's just as well to have a new thread instead of the old one with 4 pages of red-x's.
-
How about bringing back the ....AVATAR .....thread??
-
Done.
-
Thank You....Mr.Ed............ ;)

Good grief, every time I leave for a month some sort of drama happens and I am completely out of the loop. I guess that's a good thing, until I rehash something like eagle feathers, before I do a search and realize how insane people get. :P :P

Hey, Eddie, don't you have holes to dig? Are you down there yet? Hey, what is the route to take from 60 to get to Dade City?
