Wolfie, I'm on the campfire, but don't post much. Entertaining at times, but aggravating too. It's pretty much un-modded, just a free for all, especially in the "campfire" section. There's a vast amount of knowledge there, but also a vast amount of BS to go with it. The 'ask the "gunwriters' forum has some decent info, but, there again, wading through the manure pit that surrounds it is mostly a pain. There's a few guys on there that talk the talk AND walk the walk, but also a bunch that seem to live to turn every thread into a - measuring contest. Won't take long to figure out who they are.

Yeaaahhh I'm seeing that, been mainly in the gun forums , guys in the casting sub from AR really really nice long range guys seem cool, the main general forum.....egh when one of the first things somone says is " well you better have some thick skin here cuz we dont care about feelings ..yadda yadda yadda" it's like yeah I get I you think your some tough guy who can make people cry with your super tough words ,or whatever by calling me a liberal or some other genetic half insult I've heard a thousand times  like seriously I can basically play bingo with most of these guys, something something liberal somthign something democrat, something something somthing millennial, *yawn* why they can never be creative I beyond me heaver better insults from 10yr olds in call of duty lobbies . Mild irritation is about the most I get now days .got pretty bored with the tough guys in less then 15min. Decided I'd just stick to the gun and outdoor sub forums .Honestly most of these forms seem to have just become big measuring contests like you said or echo chambers idk no real point in complaining though.

I am on only one other forum. I figure that if I join more, my BS would be spread to thin

Never been on there. Visited a couple other outdoor forums, but have never been too impressed with any of the others. It's near , they got a black woman appreciation post where i was just called the old timey N word buy someone who im 90% sure is either a Aussie or a brit, so excuse me while go stir the pot a bit  I went and read the post and I think you're right that he's Australian and I think that's why he used the antiquated word that he did... I think he was trying to determine if you were an American black of African descent as opposed to a Aboriginal black of Australian descent. Australians have always referred to black-skinned people as blacks, while in America even black people referred to themselves as "ne^^os" until the 1960s. Heck, even today in America we still have the United Negro College Fund.
Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

Shame how the tone on many of these outdoor sites has changed over the years. But, I guess it's just a reflection of society as a whole. Add in the anonymity, and here we are.
Sad, really. Was a great bunch of folks on Hunt America, exchanged info, planned out of state trips, and even hunted with a few.
TMan is by far the most civil Another one that I find fairly civil and informative is https://www.hunttalk.com/ . It’s run by Randy Newberg who is similar to Boss Dobbins in that he is a down to earth person with some real principles and desire to help folks and educate. It’s mainly hunting with a western focus. Happy trapping! ScottW

The classifieds over on 24.. are very interesting and I’ve bought quite a bit of very good things, at good prices. Skies the limit on that over there.
Very hardcore opinionated people good, bad, and in between. I will say there are some really fore thinking intelligent people there, down in the sub forums in particular but again some are jerks about it and some are happy and helpful. Standard that some people act goofy in any cyber situation knowing they will never actually be toe to toe and eye to eye with those they are conversing with.
Great place to learn Wolfie glean what you can, let the fools be fools, so what? That’s life.
