State forums for members only.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Might even set a minimum post count before viewing is allowed also, otherwise someone will just register to read them anyway, and never post. Sometimes a few posts gets some talk going and opens them up to participate more than they initally thought.

I agree the site is being used and not contributed to by alot of people. I have stopped posting reports or pics because of the 200 views and 5 posts. I talk to alot of people on the lake that say the saw the reports on this site, but when I ask there name on the site they say they aren't members. This is frustrating!

Whatever, but I don't see the need for it. If ya don't wanna share your fishing report, don't post it on the net! If you don't want to share the particulars in your report, just ask folks to PM you for any info you would care to share. There's quite a few folks on crappie.com who like to help others and ask nothing in return.
I think it's pretty simple, if you don't want to share or help others, don't post. Lot's of folks just read the forums to enjoy other folks success, not to steal their fishing spots.

I'm not in favor of this idea. Seems like a way of trying to create an elite class. I thought the idea of this forum was to share information, so why not share with everyone. Just because you are not a member is no reason to withhold information. Just my 2 cents worth.

great idea

neutral.

i am in !!!!!!!!!

[South65]

I'm also in. The reports are better here in ms because the keepers are being caught. Back during the summer everyone was tite lipped due to lack of keepers. No tellin how many times I've been to a local lake or somewhere else and someone calls me out and when I ask their name they say they haven't joined because they don't post they lurk. Great idea Ed. Keep em coming.

I'm all for sharing info with other folks. I'm NOT in favor of sharing with folks that don't want to participate and share in return. Go for it, Ed.
