You know it's not a competition Neal! There's plenty of room for another Va Hunting website and I haven't seen a mass exodus from VaSportsman...Just people using both.

I think a lot of the animosity is because there hasn't been a lot of discussion Alex, and if Neal hadn't commented I wouldn't either. But since he did, I will say that for a while there were a lot of unhappy people there. A few left and more were following. To their credit, Neal and Tug realized it and changed a few things. For some it was too little too late but I'm comfortable there as are others. That doesn't mean that I'm married to it. This is a fine place too and a good alternate to VaSportsman for those that just don't want to go there. Just like gun owners, hunters have enough to fight about between ourselves without the push pull between websites. I suspect both sites will continue to grow and contribute to the sport.

Peter, good post. Probably going to be my last post here but I wanted to put it out there and clear the air.
This is not a competition and I really dont care that CHK and crew are trying to re-birth the website. Good on them. The only gripe I have that I found disrespectful is the fact that this was being done behind our back.
Tug and I were members of the ORIGINAL VADeer website and me, Tug, and wttail were the moderators. I tried buying the website when the previous owner abandoned it but he wanted $5,000 for it. Unfortunately I didn't have that kind of money laying around and the website wasn't worth anything but I did offer $500 and was declined.
We stayed on that site for another year but as mods we couldn't do anything but delete posts and that kind of stuff. We couldn't create new directories, move posts, or anything else and we wanted to expand which is where VASportsmen came from... Not to mention that you couldn't mention anything about dog hunting on the forum and a lot of words such as "Buckiesfavoritelegalhorizontalshoulderfiredboltshootingdevice" were bleeped out because the owner didn't like them.
Anyways, that is why I find it disrespectful that someone(who I thought was a friend) who wasn't part of the original vadeer staff has come in and started to re-birth it behind our backs and is using our website to pull members over. I have nothing against anyone who wants to come post here. I wish CHK and crew luck and if the website does grow, I hope he doesn't have the headaches we did. The only advice I can give is that you can't keep everyone happy, its impossible.
That is where we went wrong... trying to keep everyone happy.
