Has anyone noticed that you can read these threads without being logged in as a user? However, the ADC network threads can not be read, unless you are logged into the forum.

Does anyone see the downside?

I brought it up a while ago and LT didn't even believe me.

How can you expect someone to join when they can't even access the site to see if it's something they want to join?

I guess he has enough members.

True.

However, what is the disadvantage for tman?

I'm not sure I see a disadvantage for t-man. You?

For example, go to google and type:

Anyone use catheters

Here this one is better...google:

paul winkelmann catheter

Googled Paul Winnkleman ballerina:

Utah Dance Artist - Guest Faculty - Paul Winkelman

Its a catch 22 for every site such as this and ADC-N. You can make arguments both ways. The Register people side, if people want to see it bad enough, they can join, if they are too lazy to not join then they probably shouldnt have the info anyways. The No Register side, you lure people in to join by letting you see certain, if not all, sections of the forum.

One could post links to tman threads on other sites with a different audience.

I just had to see Googled Paul Winkelman Ballerina myself

Guest Instructor - Ballroom Camp

Paul Winkelman is a two time United States National American Style Ballroom Dance Champion, five time member of the United States Formation Championship Ballroom Team, United States Theatre Arts Champion, and Director/Choreographer of many United States National Pre-teen, Junior and Youth Ballroom Formation Teams, Choreographer for the team that represented the United States at the British Formation Championships, which placed first at this event. He does choreography for numerous school and private studio through out the United States.

Paul Winkelman Ballerina

Give it a week and WE just hammered the words " Paul Winkleman ballerina". Trapperman will become the #1 site for Paul Winkleman ballerina Info.

Paul you may want to consider getting your Tutu ready and Happy New Year!!

My advice to paul, change name on trapperman to anything other than ballerina.

And dont post links on the ballroom dancing forum.

You guys may not be aware but one of the absolute worst liberals in the D.C. area is also named Paul Winkelmann. I'd rather be known as a ballerina.

More than enough members ?
Hardly !


As founder and co-owner of The ADC Network, I can tell you that members concerns are indeed, my concern !
I care about what people think and am always striving to find ways to improve and add to the site.
That said, contribution from members, just like on here, is critical, for without that, what would anyone have to read ?
Or learn from? Or share ?
I can't read anyones mind...but, I can read !
I can listen.
I do have a phone...and a PM box.
(Is your message in there?)
If there's a problem getting on my site, it should be addressed to me.
I can tell though, there certainly doesn't appear to be.
Dandj animal control from Maine, contacted me on facebook, went directly to my site, signed up and posted things within minutes.
Why would I think it should be any harder for anyone else ?
Now true, you can't read what members write UNLESS you are a member.
Too many times people, and I mean the WRONG people, pry into what we do.
I want to keep that from happening as much as possible.
Still, I invite trappers to join. My site is NOT a fur trappers site.
It is for working professionals...or people who express in doing so.
We have trappers from across the globe, which networking trappers was always my intention.
I don't censor people either...
except for the guy who says "I don't seem to care."
Yeah, he needs to be quiet, because that simply is not true !

LT GREY
Animal Damage Network !

LT - It would be nice to get more discussion going.

If we google Paul Winkelmann ballerina, it is number 2. The nice part about ADC Network....this isn't a concern.

Well, listen, it's Monday 7:10 pm EST and I'm on here...
What's on your mind ?

Actually, I posted about the situation and you replied.

"Now true, you can't read what members write UNLESS you are a member."

How would someone know if the site is one they would like to join if they can't access it? Seeing a page that says "Error: you must log in to access this forum" is not what I'd call accessing the site.

Yes, and I stand behind my decision to not give all OUR valuable information to just anyone, for FREE !

Why should we ?

Why should I, or you, or anyone who has worked hard and pay their dues, give all their hard earned information to just anyone...for nothing ?

Now if you're a member, and you contribute, I learn from you, and you learn,(hopefully) from me as we share ideas, methods and other valuable information.

Should be share this with anyone ? What if they are our customers ?
We'll be out of a job...
Do we want to give our secrets to the public ?

Nah, I get payed $2,500.00 to train people at a professional level...

Tell you another thing, members who sign up and never show back up, I'll soon erase them...

Can't argue with that...

Couldn't understand why anyone did in the first place...
