    It is no longer on the home page at the top when you come to visit.
    Why would someone go and change that so it is not there 2 weeks before the event.
    yet there still macna info on the home page yet that was a month ago?
    just my thought if you want a event to be a success you should leave that info Front & Center no your home page.

    You know there is ONE person who maintains this web page for FREE right? Not only that, it's all done completely on a VOLUNTEER basis.
    We should all be grateful to JB for giving us such an awesome resource.  I can guarantee you 100% that without him this club wouldn't even exist and you would have know where to *****.
    Chill.

    There will be a new one soon. I am just too tired today. And again thanks for bringing it up. I didn't notice the old one expired, but it needed an update anyway.

    I didn't read the OP as a complaint either, but the discussion was the push I needed to sign up. I'm somewhat shy, so I've been a guest for quite a while quietly visitng the site almost daily. I've really come to like this website and this discussion has provided insight into how committed some of the GIRS volunteers are. I think this site is a great place. Thanks JB for making this possible, and thanks to all of the active members whose posts set up a great atmosphere. The content is always fresh, insightful, and appreciated.

    Now I do feel I will defend my actions here.
    First Wow more responses that I ever get on any of my other posts, even when I ask a questions looking for information, post pics of my tank, fish, ect., or looking for people to buy stuff with me.
    I do feel I was calm, I went WHY! as in a state of shock that, that happened. Not like some of you are interpreting it like WHY the F*** did that happen.
    Keith you may keep my panties. Please be careful of what you say or you may get banned from this site or another yet again. Then you will have to change your name to come back yet again. Yes I will still get stuff from you and your friend you help advertise for. Last week I went up to Maquoketa and got 2 carpet aneminies (this word is not in my spell check) from him 1 pink and 1 blue both look great and are doing well.
    Generally I like plus one but not this time.
    I do know that this site is run by volunteers (I have been and will be) as are many other dedicated to a certain interest. Be it fresh water fish, biking or running clubs and groups, and geocaching all thing I do participate in. As for free yes there is no pay per say, I also understand when in the position of getting donations, food, samples, shirts, and other goodies will say. Some people at the top will have the chance to keep somethings for them self (NOT saying JB has ever done that or any one this site). I have seen it happen first hand with others.
    JB I do know running a web site can be a lot of work I did one for 2 1/2 years for a little over 100 people. It was for a nascar pool twice a week I would up date weekly points season points and answer any question asked on the open forum in it.
    You are welcomed that was what I was pointing out that it was gone from the front page, not as a complaint. Glad to see we got a new member out of this.

    Brian as far as the part in your post that says As for free yes there is no pay per say, I also understand when in the position of getting donations, food, samples, shirts, and other goodies will say. Some people at the top will have the chance to keep somethings for them self. I really do not think that happens. For example I have collected a good amount of raffle items as it stands along with some other things that basically cost the club money for this fall fest. Everything is documented and accounted for and will be at fall fest without me or anyone else keeping anything. what we do as the board is thankless for the most part, and the biggest reward we get is in knowing we were able to do something great for everyone else.I really take offense that you think me or any one else on the board would hold stuff back from the club.

    Mike, you left this off my statement "(NOT saying JB has ever done that or any one this site)."
    I missed placing the word "from" while typing, it goes between one and this in the statement above.
    I am not not naming names from in the past at other type of clubs but I know it happens.
    I have seen it and have had stuff given to me.

    For the record, I wasn't offended. I'm not the only person that can post articles on the home page. Any officer can do it and sometimes they need a reminder of that... /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    I've been on a mini-sabbatical for the last couple of months as I focused on a new job and recovered from all of the work prior to and during MACNA, but I shall return!
