Im trying my best to be neutral on the new site. I even signed up myself. I really hate to say this, but as time goes on, its lookin more and more like a PMS knockoff.
Several threads have asspatters from PMS sayin how glad they are to see the names and layout of the new site. Some of the topics could be copied and pasted from PMS.
One other observation. I see some names that have cursed PMS at different points in the past that are relishing the new board right along with the ole PMS gang. It appears that some folks dont like it unless they are too getting their assess patted. LMAO
I hope Im wrong. It would be great if this would workout. Jury is still out on a national organization. Have to see how its received and what its goals will be.
JRB, Im sorry Im skeptical. I do wish you the best of luck. Just stating a few things that I see and hope Im wrong.

Well Andy,I am seeing some of the same things you are. I am posting on the board, and not having any problems. I do not plan to join the National organization at this time. I have a personal problem with the manner in which all of the call makers praise the work of their competitor's. The main reason that I feel this way is because there is no way anyone could know whether or not a beautiful looking photo of a call is actually a call that SOUNDS as good as it looks. A pretty call does not always a good predator call make. That is the gosh awful truth of the matter. Being honest does not make me very popular on various boards, but I don't know how to be any other way.

Interesting observations. I tend to agree with most of what you guys have said. The boards are dragging, so they are posting to be posting.
Someone needs to get the boards headed in a direction that will promote membership participation. At present the guys running the place all came from pms and don't know of any other way to run a bulletin board. Subjects on the board currently are very limited. Do I need to mention that if this board is for friends to get together it is doomed from the start. pms is running on new members and this new board is running on old friends, neither will last in the long term
It will take some new ideas for them to overcome the stink of pms. I just don't see that in the stars.

Where's the milk of human kindness, people? Be charitable toward the new toy, if for a single reason, and I don't need to spell it out, now do I?
I'm contributing myself, and have seen some of what is being talked about, but (I think) the main reason is because of the clientele? It's all so familiar...sorta like a carbon copy of PMS.
Well, what do you expect? Before RF fuked it up, it was a sucessful formula. That's what we need to monitor. Is PMS bleeding to death? Somehow, I have managed to avoid the site. Are they allowed to even mention the new board or is it still the bunker mentality, deleting everything they view as threatening?
Good hunting. LB

A search for NPHA on PM gives no results. Looks like its not being discussed.

Most guys on ********* ******* dont even know about the new site, and Im sure the powers that be on ********* ******* will keep it cloaked as long as they can?
Maybe some one could do a good deed and start a thread over there : )

PM wasn't all bad in the beginning. Most of us liked something about it before it started to be a high 5, +1, attaboy sales venue. The new site is okay for now and I agree, the boards are slow so people are posting just to be posting. The only other thing to do is start a war of some kind like hunting with AR's or something??? ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Given time things will shake out, I'm interested in just who all joins up. I see some are still posting on both boards for now. Ought to be a law against that.
For now I'm not joining the NPHA, if they want my dues they need to show me what I can get for them and who's pockets they are going into.

Im glad Im not the only one seeing this. There is just nothing new or exciting. Just another PMS. The only difference I see is the all star cast, at least several of them, for moderators. Other than that.....
I still dont understand why Randy or Jason or Steve or somebody dont step to the plate and put up a sticky and lay out the whats, wheres and whys of the organization. The cloak and dagger shit does nothing positive.
Also, Randys "checkmate" avatar does speak volumes. At least to me it looks like a direct in your face shot at PMS, or the toad, or both.

Raandy is the best feature about that board, and I don't blame him at all, if he means what Andy thinks he means, with the avitar.
But hey, the big news is that he's coming to the campout, so you can bring up your concerns. Not to put him on the witness stand or anything like that, but you know, you can probably have a friendly and frank, man to man discusion about plans, hopes and dreams. You probably don't want to miss this one.
Good hunting. LB

Yeah, I met Randy at your campout a couple years ago. He is a good man. No doubt about that.
I dont really know why Im so intrigued by this. It just has my curiousity for some reason? I despise PMS, always have. I guess I wasnt around for its glory years. Just a bunch of dipshits since I have been around. At least mainly dipshits, I guess a few of the good guys hung out there.
Got an EMG today on my arm. Which sucked, I hate being shocked. Scheduled for rotator surgery on Sept 29th. Soon as thats healed just a little, will schedule to have the two discs in my neck fixed. Then I will know more about campout plans.

It hurts like hell right now Rich. I got a feeling this whole deal is gonna get worse before it gets better.
I think I got a good doctor. He claims to be able to fix it through the scope. He claims to do everything through the scope. And with as few problems as possible. We will see I guess.
The neck is gonna be even worse they tell me.

Andy,
Naw, it will be ok. They may even screw one of those chrome halo's on your head and make ya look like an angel. I saw one of those on a guy in check out lane at Walmart yesterday. He was fishing around in his pockets like he was looking for something. He looked a little confused, so I walked over and asked if I could help. "I seem to have lost my car keys", he said. I says to him, I said--You would lose your head too if wasn't screwed on. That was wrong, I shouldn't have said that.
Lord I apologize for that-
please be with the starving pygmies down there in Africa- Amen
Good luck with your surgery Andy,
Rich

Maybe we could set up a podium, someone bring a speaker system. We can have a raffle drawing at the end for the pieces of my butt that get chewed off. Lights, camera, action.
I volunteer as keynote speaker on the merits of shooting an AR chambered in the 17HMR for "yotes" at 200 yards.

Randy has cooked for the group a couple times, hauling iced shrimp and potatos a thousand miles, all by himself. He also fixed rattlesnake and bobcat for everybody. He's a popular guy, and we're lucky to have him. As I recall, he managed to kill a few coyotes, in his spare time? He's what they call a good ol' boy.
Good hunting. LB

What I have to wonder is; Will this new board be a reflection of the NPHA or will the NPHA be a reflection of the board?? Since we seem to be getting no information regarding exactly what the NPHA stands for, I have to assume that the powers that be in the NHPA are waiting to see how the bulletin board shapes up to decide what their core belifes are.
One thing's for sure....... we're going to have some interesting conversations around the campfire at the ronde.

Damn Carl. Your gonna have a stiff neck. Sorry to hear that.
Ive had my L2-3 and L3-4 fused in my lower back. I have been told that I need L1-2 and L4-5 fused as well, but have been able to make it on epideral injections every so often so far.
I had trouble with C5-6 about three years ago. Had an EMG done and thats what it said. I had a few epiderals there and its been ok since. I think this fall I had in June just went ahead and took that one out, it is ruptured, along with C4-5. So I get to have them fused. After my rotator surgery heals.
I have had shoulder trouble too. I have bone spurs on both shoulders and it causes an inpingment of the tendon and hurts like hell. Hes going to remove the spur on the left side when he does the surgery to repair the tear. Now, I think since I have been exculsively one handed for three months or so, I have aggrivated the spur on the right side and its hurting too. I have had several steroid injections in the shoulder in the past and they work for a while. I hope he can do that to buy time. I dont want to have that spur removed for as long as I can put if off.
Good luck to you Carl. Sounds like you have some major problems going on there. Best of luck to ya. I dont know where you live, but if close enough, maybe we can play pain pill poker sometime while healing up. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Thanks Andy, I am up near Olympia Washington. pain pill poker sounds like a gas.
I have been holding off also but am losing strength in my arms and hands, lots of pain and nerve damage. hands going numb etc.
That shoulder stuff sounds bad.
I will be going in late October 2 days in hospital then 4 weeks at home with a brace, have to sleep sitting up for 2 weeks. Lucky I have 8 weeks of vacation saved up.

I hadnt been there in a week. Still kinda smells a bit like PMS. I didnt spend a ton of time, but did see this.
Some fella posted that he was sorry the staff was away at various functions in various states. NASA asked why the masses werent notified of the functions ahead of time so they could go and Randy the Cajun copied and pasted from the TOS how your not supposed to question Admins actions in public but by email, pm, mail or phone call.
Many of the names and topics continue to add to the stentch.
Dammmit I was hopin this wasnt going to be a knockoff of PMS. There are some talented guys behind the wheel, but its smelling more and more like a Frogless PMS.
