Max,
Stupid questions are ok, as long as you don't mind stupid answers to go along with them.
I'm new here myself, but I've been a long time member of a handful of forums, and finally decided to try this place out since guys on Archerytalk refer to it alot.

Ive got no problem with the questions.
Its the people who dont search first that get my flames. They want the answer handed to them, they dont want to have to do any work for it.
Its like my students in many regards. If they encounter a problem, they just want the answer without the work. I dont give it to them until they have showed me they have exhausted their efforts. It makes the answer mean something to THEM, not me. Almost 90% of the time, they find the answer without my help.
Anyway, this place has gone wayyyyyyy downhill since I joined. Hence the reason I am moving on to another archery site.

There is no other archery site like this one. We all hope you reconsider moving on.

I typically search through the postings prior to posting a question. If I find my question has already been posted and I don't feel like it was answered properly, thenI re-post. Also, I often like to get the responses from newer members.

You are correct, there is no other archery site out there quite like this one, however, it is not what it used to be.

There are threads like this on every site you go to. This site, like any other is just a place to BS about something we commonly enjoy and wish to discuss. Nothing wrong with debate and disagreement, as long as the respect for others remains and is adhered to.

I know this has little to do with the original post, Campo....but to your student mention....it got me thinking.
Good luck.

Ok Ok we've had a rough patch..Let's suck it up and move on. We still have very knowledgable people on board. We still have new members looking for a site to call home. Most of us spend a lot of time here so I guess we can sorta police our own ranks to make sure this site is all it could be and all it should be.
We can sit around whining and complaining or we can one by one, help rebuild.

You're not a thong guy, are you, GR8???
I agree. "You're an idiot" is an unintelligent man's rebuttal when he's expounded all of his factual and educated points.
Though we seldom TOTALLY agree.....MY BET is....you and I would be friends and could share camp, just fine. I, like you, enjoy a lively debate....and sometimes Ill take a position COMPLETELY opposite of where you might think I would stand.....JUST to see how it sounds from the other side.
It's debate. It's healthy.
