There are plenty of other places for you to go and get your information.
I am not kidding.
...but none as good or as friendly as Smallstreams :DOriginally Posted by adam
All right, we all love Smallstreams, but don't be a brown-noser!
NOBODY that was here is on the brink, yet. That said, part of being a member in a community is contributing to that community. I will be sending an email to all zero and single post users in a few days. They will have a chance to contribute. I do this on all communities I run or have run. Everyone has something to contribute.
This is meant to be a quality, personal flyfishing community. As Adam has posted elsewhere, smallstreams is/was arguably the first true flyfishing community. I've created or been a part of many, most of the old ones. Heck, who else here remembers when VFS was (sadly) bought by FFM or when westfly was a tight knit community of less than a hundred people? How about when Clark's was actually Clark Davis'?
When Adam says not fishers, he meant SPAMMERS. They are not interested in fishing, but peddling their viruses, smut and prescription links. He did not mean people who are here because of interest or to learn.
Those spammers can do real harm to the community. The last iteration of smallstreams was shut down for close to a year, actually, because of trying to repair the damage caused by the bots and spam peddlers.
Thus, I will do whatever is necessary to keep this place and its ideals safe, and the community alive and in good health. I will prune as necessary, with prudence, but also without remorse or need of explanation with the good of the site in mind.
