I guess I'll get my inflation adjusted 2 cents in too.
First off, I consider one of the mods a good personal friend and fishing buddy and realize how difficult and thankless the job is, especially when engaged in other tasks like their regular employment. I also think that in general they do a good job. That said, I will admit that there have been times when I have had my posts edited or deleted and have been exasperated by the decisions made. I also will admit that I have generally appreciated many of PBH's and the wormy ones posts and contributions and have enjoyed agreeing (usually), disagreeing, or even vigorously debating them. I do hope they continue to participate here once the "time out" is served. I disagree that they haven't contributed. Some just may not like how it's said sometimes.
This is the thing about BFT though. Whether you like everything about it or can't stand what is happening here at times, it is very successful! Two other Utah fishing sites have been mentioned in this thread. One, UOTF, has fallen from a very active, vibrant site to one that is hardly relevant or worth reading anymore, except during Stream access battles in the legislature. The other, UWN, is an excellent outdoors site that has an awesome hunting section, but has really slowed down as a fishing site. It may pick up in time, but for all its warts, bad grammar, arguments (and lack thereof), virtual back slapping for 8 inch perch or cookie cutter cats, and silly threads, BFT is the undisputed champ as a successful Utah fishing site. One has to say that the mods are a big part of that and thus deserve a lot of credit. If they do something that sets wrong with you, don't let it get to ya.
It's all for fun anyway, right?
