    Good luck with the folks that have something against it staying out. Most religion forums turn into a nasty place of bashing and nit picking.

    It doesn't really have to... I think we manage the balance pretty well... most of the time.

    Agreed and maybe some hog hunting treads. You can hunt them year round and like bears they'll bite back:)

    Bowhunting.com could hold a contest of some sort, then the winner could be filmed hunting and be in one of the videos. Perhaps Todd or Justin could pay a visit with them for the hunt and video the winner while hunting. I'm pretty creative so ill think of some ideas for the contest. What do you think?

    Pinned post or a 'Hall of Fame' sub forum to house key posts/recurring topics like identified earlier.

    I like the reputation points concept.

    The product/merchandise subforum is fine for vendors to post their wares, understood. Maybe a product evaluation/comparison subforum and/or website that maybe integrates into the reviews on the store might increase traffic, sales and generate additional revenue ops for the boys. Give those providing reviews 'points' toward swag for their reviews to try to boost repotation to the point where a BH.com review is a revenue generating credential. A la 'A BH.com approved product' on a vendor product might be win:win:win (reviewer, Bh.com, vendor).

    Not sure the group concept has been embraced, and creating geographic pins or groups may also generate unwanted spam. If there was a troll button to help police spam, a 'localized/geographic distribution' may have merit.

    I would love to see more competitive prices in the store on the site for products offered, but understand this is also a function of volume sold. As an example, a particular product I was looking at on bh.com can be found for less at about 2/3 of vendors listed on google' shopping list.

    A few thoughts off the top of the head.

    I’m sorry. I should have also mentioned that we could hold a contest to have 2 Lunger, and/or Vito pay a visit and film for the winner. But we don’t need a contest for that you two are welcome to join me anytime.:poke:

    We had a DIY thread for a bit, died out. Just not enough interest here for it.

    A political forum would be great. Sure would make the water cooler more enjoyable. ;)
