The Forum Business
#1
Long and hard i have thought, do i keep this thing running?

The Answer YES! 113
The reason lies right out into other peoples thoughts and willingness to share. Writing about thing you have seen or done can be easy, writing about things you care about and are willing to share maybe not so much. Place's and spots that are your so called "Honey Hole". Now getting others to share info on what they have used or where they have been is a difficult thing to do.

Now having hundreds and/or thousands of people reading and know can suck. However us as individuals don't always need to give that exact location but lead others into a good direction is more the key. With out traffic and new post what do we have to read? so please post Questions, Reviews, tips and tricks and even memories of the outdoors etc...
Idea
So what does it take to run a forum, one patients and two guts. Oh and that little thing called money! The internet is a great FREE place until you host a website, pay programers, advertise and put on contest or events. With that noted, now back to the first part information and timing. It is truly hard to promote and talk to people and get them on the site as well stay.

I have shared pretty much my life to the world through OFB outddors, same with a few members. My reward is that some have gained knowledge and others have moved on to either love / hate the site or new ventures. Either way i look at the positives i have learned as well as the trials and tribulations.

Anyone that thinks with no money you can start a forum and make it big, well i wish you luck. Anyone that thinks they can ride for free and call their self a prostaff, well you better start posting and being professional. Lurking on sites is great but not posting kills sites. The other part is the advertising aspect. Yep get people to pay or sponsor things. Now we are talking big promises and reputations. Yes all this rides on the person behind the scenes.

We have many sponsors and contributors associated with OFB outdoors, to all we thank you. I have let the contest go for several months and need to start on some new ones. so if you are reading this and made it this far, give us your feed back.

Thank you,
Team OFB outdoors.

I agree there is a lot going on behind the scenes and we thank the man that's doing it all you know who you are. We all want to be apart of this site. It's a great thing to know some of you and even have fished or shot guns or gone off-roading with one another. We all need to do our part to make the ofb family grow. Hopefully the 2015 year will bring prosperous changes. And remember... Buzzed driving IS drunk driving!
men and fish are alike. we both get in trouble when we open our mouths.

I honestly have NO idea what goes on behind the scenes, or who does it, but I do appreciate the site, And try to promote it to others as well. I can't make them post, but I do cuz I like to blab.

Mikey, I still want to get what we talked about moving. No money in it, but beneficial to young ones, or even adults alike. It would likely get some more movement on the site for sure!

We will just keep grinding away and doing what we do! Hopefully 2015 will be better than 2014, bluefin still being caught at the banks, and things will catch. I plan to try to fish more and post more this coming year. Things look positive
