On this forum I am not selling anything, I am not buying anything (except very likely to book the hunt in the future). So, in that respect, I am safe.
I try to be polite. Not to pick up the fight, that is not the reason for me to be here.
So, on this two accounts I have a good chance not to be banned.
This forum is the only public platform known to me that provides direct PUBLIC communication between the clients and outfitters - sponsors. From those communications, I have learnt a lot. Especially from negative reports, which are not too often. but still here
I dont know any other similar internet platform that provides similar service, so this forum is unique.
So, generally, this forum is very good system, sponsors to advertise, and clients to look around. It is commercial, yes, but what pays it stays.
Good feedback and public communication vets the sponsors, and keeps their reputation. And besides the advertising there is a good portion of sharing the information and knowledge (for free).
There are few forum members whose posts I enjoy reading daily, and I am grateful they are willing to share information.
I could not think of any better system on internet.
Jerome has done really good job to our common benefit.
I also agree with Red Leg and Brickburn in their previous posts.
