I realize its a mighty big chore to monitor this site. Even with help.

I suspect this site is not realising its earning potential. Is there any advertising? I see MTP but not much else. Good for us members, maybe not for the bottom line. I certainly don't want that to hange. I also suspect that Facebook trapping groups are getting members that this site would otherwise get. The Alaska TA has a FB group and it is very popular and gaining new members everyday. The day will certainly come when change will come to this site. I don't see how it will be anything but for the worse. Thank you for your service, Paul! We have more advertisers than you think. Here's a list of those with banners. This doesn't include the magazines that have banners. There's also a waiting list of those who wish to advertise, but there's not any other forums active enough to charge advertising fees for...

Paul - thank you for this website which does preserve much information. I would expect an offer of less than $4,000. Plus a statement that the valuation was difficult due to nothing similar.
Now to an important suggestion. Antis cut and paste from this website. This provides their best ammunition about trapping. I would like to see this website appear close and require a membership code to enter. Then no antis could have open access.
Best wishes!

Paul, if I am wrong please correct me. From what I see this site is here to promote and show the benefits of trapping. I don't think there are enough zeroes to get Paul to sell. My bet is when he is ready he will pass the torch. This isn't butt kissing, I just call it the way I see it. My next post might be asking about how warm that delete button is.

I'm not interested in the money, and when it comes time for me hand this over to someone else, it will have to be the right person, or it will be terminated.

A lot of groups and organizations are using FB as a forum instead of using websites. No to minimal cost and not much maintenance etc. With all the issues with the social media they do provide excellent and low to no cost options for individuals and organizations.

Gotta say, Boss, you've been tolerant of me and let me dodge a bullet or two, but I have noticed your iron-fisted rule. It's not hard to tell this is your baby and you'll protect her. I admire that.

Maybe they are an aquisition arm of Peta. Buy this site and then shut it down. A la Canada Goose. Good point. I'm sure they would like to shut this site down.

I didn't get a response, so I reckon it doesn't really matter. No way was I going to sell, just curious about what an offer would look like. In the past when I've been asked to sell, I'd tell them they don't have enough money. That was before they had a chance to make an offer. If you didn't get a response it may be that since they are probably familiar with the site, they saw all the scepticism by many of us. That could have scared them off if they weren't legit.
