Sorry people, I wanted to get a post up explaining what was happening in conjunction with the forum being pulled but what with the time differences it didn't happen.

 

The Bull Breeds forum has gone for a few reasons but mainly because in the current climate, there's not much that we can post about hunting wise on there, which was echoed by there not being much posting of hunting exploits. It used to be quite a lively forum pre-ban but those days have gone. As a stand alone bull breeds forum it was ok but I had to police quite a few posts that discussed things there had no place on a hunting forum and some things that would be of great interest to Butcher and his cronies.

 

At the end of the day, this is a hunting forum and the bull breeds section was becoming an indulgence as there was precious little about hunting on there lately. Rather than let it limp on, I felt it was better to knock it on the head. I've almost done this a few times in the recent past, with people squabbling and accusations flying around, but I thought I'd give it a couple of weeks etc but it's time to go now.

 

As you can see Staffman is getting a forum up so no doubt you folk will be welcomed there and you can post away all you like. Staffman has experience in forums so I'm sure he'll put on a good spread for you.

 

For those who hunt with the dogs, you are more than welcome to post in the terrier section on here.

 

All that's left is for me to thank everyone who has contributed over the years. It was the first port of call not just for me but for a lot of others for a while. It was a good little forum in its day.

 

Thanks

:victory:

Andy, no offence intended (genuinely) but the moderators (Stabs in this case) do the moderating voluntarily, the way it was going it would have been taking more and more time up, and as the lucky git is in Australia then I'm sure he has got plenty of better things to do!

 

Just my opinion.

 

Those that said it was an excellent section in the past were spot on, it was, and big thanks to Stabs for looking after it while it lasted.

 

JonniM, what on earth are you going to look at when you're up at 4am now? Or shouldn't I ask?! :angel:

:icon_eek: wow bummer !.....as has already been said it was a good section....its the nature of bull breeds to attract controversy so there will always be some whether that be in real life or on an internet forum.....but i guess in real life you can just put the phone down or say bxxxxxs.......on here i suppose it needs moderating for everyones benefit and it must be full time work so understandable nobody would want to do it....however,many thanks to Stabs and co for doing their best and best of luck in future exploits.. :thumbs: Edited by gnasher16
