One of the reasons I am so frustrated (not anyone\'s fault here) is that I recently was on another forum where I found that the so called \"administrator\" was once a month deleting off the old posts to make room for the new ones.  Yes, that\'s right, he DELETED them.

His reasoning was that everybody had read the \"NEWS\" already so why keep it, those old posts were just cluttered up the website anyway and took up room.

When I suggested implementing a database driven bulletin board / forum which used space more efficiently and keep the forum posts for people to search through to able to learn from, he told me to stop spamming him.   He didn\'t need somebody telling him how to run that club\'s site, everything he had was perfectly good for what they wanted.

I apologize if I come across pushy.  When I see sites that could use improvement and I am tied to them in through my interests, I can\'t help but suggest ways to help.  I spend 75% of my waking hours in front of a computer.  I\'m always looking for ways to drop that back a few percentage points whenever I can by automation and installations of newer and better tools.

I\'ve already have started my pen expansions from 3 flight pens to 12.  I\'m adding Blue, Buff, and Black Gold this year to my existing lineup of Black, White, and Silver.  I\'m here to stay.

Glad to hear that Wes, and we are really glad to have you.
Please understand that some of us who have been around this breed for up to 30 years, as I have, have seen countless folks full of enthusiasm burn out after a year or two.   For that reason one of the main criteria we use in awarding the annual \"Breeder of the Year Award\" is longevity.   We have yet to award that plaque to anyone who has been with us less than 10 years, though that could change in the near future.
There is nothing wrong with any of your ideas, and we are happy to have your input, so don\'t give up.   But don\'t be surprised if it takes a year or two to implement some of your suggestions.    Thanks so much for your generous offer.
