    Soooooo out of curiosity.

    Let me preface this by saying I don't intend for this post to turn into a finger pointing contest......

    For whatever reason I was "needing" to read some old post today (about Theron) those of you who were here will know what I am talking about, and I read through my post on the subject and that led me to realize how close a bunch of folks this used to be. Now let me say I will be the first to admit that I haven't done my part in maintaining many of the friendships I had made here, but I wonder how the entire core group ended up at odds....to the point where many of us don't speak at all. I could go on and on in detail about what brought me to this question but I'd rather not. Just throwing it out there as a whole......Seems strange b/c there are many good people on this board.

    What say you??

    I have not been on here long, but I love talking fishing with anyone. I have met some great people on here and I wish I knew y'all were on Gaston last weekend. I was there from Thursday till Sunday. Always look forward to meeting people. Hope to meet some more of you guys on the water.

    Hey, Mike....

    Still here, mostly in the Champ forum. Have not been on the water in 4 years...Joyce's mom needs 24/7 care, so she can't get away. I am a bit cautious about going alone...getting old, don'tchaknow! I keep the boat water-ready, tho....

    As said above, many of the folks can be found on Facebook.

    Trick, there was a big falling out in the core group awhile back. I wasn't involved (imagine that!) but I've spoken to several people and heard a couple different sides to it. Al banned a few people over it all. A few others just left. I still just lurk around and hope for an inviting post to hijack. I was talking with some people on my FB page, but decided I was tired of all the adds, spam, and political BS so I deleted that. Still get the occasional PM on here. Nothing like what it once was!!!

    MCherry spoke to me on the Chick. He yelled at me and said this dock is his and told me to keep moving. But he did speak.

    For me Facebook has really taken over for details on local tournaments or just general chit chat. I am out of the loop when it comes to people being banned or people having beefs with others or why. If I remember right, Al removes personal attack posts immediately. Congrats on your win Mike. It's been a rough couple of years for me but I will rise above the ashes like you!

    It's official, Trickworm does not like me, ducks me all the time, and never calls me, heck Scooter even talks to me regular but oh no, not trickworm. HEHE

    And for the record, I was driving to a tournament sometime last year when we had our last phone call ... But I called you first!

    Congrats on your win!

    I think a little bit of the split came via Facebook but also when the two BBC pages were separated that may have caused the chatter traffic to diminish. I think there was much more happening on the pages when VA and NC were combined. This is the first time I have been on this page in a long time. But I do still recognize a lot of the names. I'm not sure I know about the falling out part. Is that what stopped the VA Rallies?

    Va rallies were not stopped because of the "falling out". That situation occurred more with the folks further north. The VA rallies weren't stopped, per se...they just never had any serious volunteers to cover all the work Greg and Sandra had done for us....So there haven't been any VA rallies since.
