Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2016 Yep we did it for a few years back in the beginning, but haven't done it in years. Mainly because of time. I know Will use to spend MANY hours setting up and taking pics for the contest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2016 Zip ... bite your tongue !!!There is nothing wrong with this site. We don't want or need, 1000 posts a day that no one can keep up with, or that have nothing to do with fly tying and fly fishing. We have "The Lodge" ... and "photography" ... general topic forums. I think we're good with the way this site is maintained. There are plenty of "more active" sites out there, with ignorance and insults to spare. They can have them.

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2016 FTF is still one of the more active helpful sites online these days for anything tying/fishing related. All internet forums everywhere have somewhat experienced a downward count of activity over the past 5 years but that's true for every forum out there, mainly due to facebook. FTF is still very active though and is doing well so no need to change anything at this time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
