[quote Tin-Can]OK here is a question about posts.
Do Private message to some one count as a post?[/quote]
No, PM's do not count, only post made on the forums, all forums.
Some members do not like posting on the open forums, that is one of the reasons the Premium(P) board was created. Since the rise of Facebook fishing forums, BFT has been in a decline, it's
we face losing this once great forum because we have so many lurkers that add nothing to this forum but view it daily but contribute nothing. That is one of the reason for the Premium board where member don't pay a thing but a little of their time in the form of making a few post to contribute to it. Everyone that wants access to the P board agrees to that rule before they can have access but then some members decide not to follow that rule when they find out we actually enforce a rule on that board. The P board isn't for everyone and that is fine but it does serve a purpose, even if not everyone agrees with it. BFT makes its money not by people viewing the post here but by people posting here. Advertisers pay to advertise here based on the number of post made and that number is way down. BFT is almost 20 years old now and it takes upkeep, in the form of tech folks fixing problems but it also takes coders to write new code when new things comes along, which happens more and more often now days. This entire reply was not directed at you Forest but members just needed to know what was going on and I think that was the reason this thread was started. One other thing, anyone that has lost access to the P board, for not posting can request access again after 1 years, if they have been posting on the Main Utah board(this board), during that time.
