Our troubles with web hosting and web site maintenance have been many and have been expensive. I'm asking for your patience as I'm going to try and save what we can and start completely over with a new and hopefully better site. I'm not sure if we are intentionally being sabotaged or if there is an anti somewhere in the picture but our pleas for help seem to fall on deaf ears with charges increasing. Please bear with us. Spread the word. It I'm guessing it will require new sign ups to start. If Paul allows I will keep you posted on here. I thank trapperman.com for the support over the years. Thank you all for your understanding.

Maybe Paul's hosting set up provider would work for you as well ? I clearly have no idea what's involved or how it works but Paul's set up is nice and when it goes down it seems to be fixed promptly.

I havent been to the site in a while but I was just poking around a bit, the platform(ColdFusion) is to quote Obi-Wan Kenobi, "that's a name I havent heard in a long, long time". I never messed with it personally but it was popular back in the day but its a dinosaur today.

Maybe I didn’t do something wrong on my end, or I said something in the past and someone’s butt hurt?
It could also be the way the site is set up. On our Canadian site, any membership application coming from an over seas IP address is automatically blocked. That’s where 99% of the fake accounts and BS come from.
I had to give the IT expert a heads up when Tatiana was wanting to get on.

Hopefully I can join this time around. I never could get my registration approved on the last site.

Nope. It is for everyone. Probably just got overlooked somehow. A technical upgrade is needed for the site, but Don Powell and his site is most surely for everyone. You do not need to be a legend to be included there.

Definitely do not have to be a legend to hang out there. I never trapped in my life. A few years ago I decided I might want to try it. They are probably still laughing at me after I asked if anyone ever heard of Russ Carman lures. They put up with me and have helped me a lot.

Most layed back everyday man site ive been on. Tech trouble has been a constant battle for a very long time.
Im sure thats why you didn't get on. Tried getting on that Canadian site of yours back some time ago and gave up also. Im sure it was something I wasn't doing right.
Don that runs the mink site is a great, kind man. Hopefully we'll all thumb-talk to each other when a new one gets going.

I’ll ask the IT expert, he’s owns the other half and basically runs the ship. He’s on here too…….JustLearning.
