    A buddy of mine at my local archery club has been talking up another Internet site. I don't want to list it for bad publicity. Let's just say it rhymes with W W W.smARCHERYsTALK.COM

    I constantly here about how knowledgeable and helpful everyone is on the site. Earlier this week I decided to give it a shot and made an account.

    Within a few days I realized that all they do is bash each other (which I hate), no one can agree on anything, they have a ton of spam bots posting useless crap, NOTHING was helpful, the site was esthetically ugly, and it was overwhelmed with useless categories.

    That's when I felt like Van Wilder (for those of you that have seen the movie)...

    "You've been going to school here for seven years."

    "I like here..." Van Wilder

    Meaning, I don't want to be anywhere else.

    Has anyone else ventured to any other sites recently just to get a taste? Could it be this site is just that awesome and decimates all other sites? I don't get on much so I'm actually asking...

    I randomly post on HNI, Ohio Sportsman, AT, Firehouse, IMDB and Footballs Future.

    But none of those website even come close to BH.com

    And here is why:

    HuntingNet = 131,000 members
    ArcheryTalk = 151,000 members
    OhioSportsman = 7000 members
    BH.com = 2,535 members

    Our core group of guys are also a very good group. Rarely do we get into heated arguments and i doubt Justin has had to ban anybody besides spammers yet.

    I regularly visit HNI and Archerytalk. I even post from time to time, but this is my home.

    I was an HNI guy since 2005, but the constant bickering over the smallest thing really just made me quit posting on a regular basis. In September I stumbled onto this site, and saw a lot of familiar names.

    I still visit HNI sometimes, (Illinois Buck Hunter), but I don't do much posting there anymore.

    That's why I gave up HNI. Haven't even been there in months.
