Hey all. i have logged onto the forum for the first time in quite a while and all is looking very abandoned! where has everybody gone?! the forum should be the heart and soul of the club. especially for part timers like me who only shoots the wednesday sessions therefore only seeing certain members at competitions! (thats you Ian!)
i know everyone's busy with there own things but we really should start using the forum more. im gonna leave a message on this thread as often as i can. if there are any wonderers who actually still visit the forum leave a message and we will resurrect the beast yet!

Im fine thanks.... the shooting was going ok while I had the time, but for the last month or 2 I just havent been able to keep it up. Hopefully will get back down the range a bit more now though I have no idea how it could be unloved... some ppl have no soul

i'm here
usually try and post as often as i can
think the forum hasn't really been taken to by the novices of the year and to an extent last year. though i have noticed recently that there have been more facebook wall posts than there were in the past

and then there were three! facefook sucks. its sucking the life out of little forums around the globe and then when everybody is hooked its gonna start charging you to use it! if you dont pay then they will use your photo's which are now officially their property against you!!
its good to hear from you Andy. i do believe you have a dual with Chris? good luck with that!
well we now have three! people, carry on posting!

I'm still here. I'd love the forum to restart a little bit. Sadly, as Andy says, the Facebook group gets more traffic. But I never remember to read the walls of the groups I'm in. Personal opinion, the forum is way better as a medium for discussion than the Facebook group (which is still useful for notifying people of things that are happening)

cool. we are growing. thats very true forge. i dont know why but the forum feels a lot more personal than the facebook group. its like this forum is here specifically for us archers whereas facebook is like an all seeing all feeling omnipresent thing for all types of people.
anyway, how you doing forge? what are you upto these days? ive not seen you for quite a while!

Yeah, it's been forever since I've shot. I keep meaning to come back, but something always seems to get in the way. I'm still doing the old PhD thing, but getting increasingly frustrated and wondering about the future a bit more

Also, if this keeps up, the thread title may soon be inappropriate, which has brightened up my day some.
Any chance those of you at the sessions could let the novices know that the forum exists, and encourage them to sign up. I'd really like to see it live again.

Thats why ive started posting again. the forum needs to be brought back to life again. not going bad so far. ill try and drum up some interest next wednesday. we should have something like a quiz thread to bring in the masses. im glad to hear youre still going strong with the phd, hope everything levels out for you. let me know if you want to shoot out of session times, i can meet you down at the range sometime.

Well, I'm hoping to get back to shooting wednesday sessions at some time soon (provided stuff doesn't keep getting in the way), so I'll hopefully see you there at some point.
