According to Sandflea

[shaggy]

March 1, the end is coming, armageddon will arrive! And I haven't even tried the AVET yet :mad:

So Matt, what's up? Any info, or do I have to go undercover, and torture some people around the boards to get answers?

Have Jeep will travel :D

[Thrifty Angler]

it wouldn't occur til April 1st. :rolleyes:

Anything goes on that date.:eek:

[sand flea]

Hehehe. No, it's no April Fool's joke...it's real. :D

[Talapia]

OK, what did I miss?

Forget it, I just saw the banner on the left...
any guesses?

new site name perhaps?

[hokieboy]

Im thinking it might turn to a subscription only site...

No more freeloaders :(

[Talapia]

Doubt it. That's just your inner guilt
your feeling...:D :D :D

[Pauky]

I'd bet a face lift to the site is forthcoming.

[AL_N_VB]

Heard Hat80 finally completed his sex change....

:D :D :D

[fyremanjef]

Well My guess is that it is a supporter thing.

When I noticed the End is coming blurb, I also saw the "subscribe and boost yor account".

Hmm, a fully pay site. Will there be a special section for the "gifted ones" or those in "the cool kids club"?

OR

the site is being bought by myspace.com :)

OR

new federal laws will prohibit posting of pictures with out a signed affidavit attesting that a person is over 18 years of age. Oops wrong website :D :rolleyes:

[shaggy]

Nah, figure sites need hits, so usually, well at least would figure, 100% pay site wouldn't work to his advantage, but then could if the membership fees rose. Then again, with a 100% fee based site, some of us would, well maybe :rolleyes: , be willing to share a bit more info, not like exact locations, but when and what fish are hitting.

Other than that, maybe he sold site to PETA :--| or it is becoming a porn site, made a tidy profit, is skipping out of B'more, and heading to fishing heaven.

Jeff...I'm a little offended by that remark.....I had to ride tha short bus.

[Newsjeff]

Heard Hat80 finally completed his sex change....
That's wrong. Plain wrong. Why ya hatin' so much?:p

[AL_N_VB]

oh .....tha ole' sumbeech will get me back....:D :D :D ..........


NJ- ya feelin any better?

[Shooter]

Jeff...I'm a little offended by that remark.....I had to ride tha short bus.
Thats cause your nutten but a short little chit and sleeping behind the dumpster at the Holiday Inn Express doesn't count either.
Maybe Matt has figured out a way Paid supporters will catch more fish this year or maybe Supports will get Hooter gals to come sit in their laps to work the keyboards or even better yet is we will get to have a Pick on NS4D day :D Ohh wait we do that anyway :p

[RedskinFan228]

Sandfle well that is just not right posting that banner. You know we are about to go stir crazy what with no fish around. Just look at the topics we have been forced to comment on. Then you post that and make us wait and wait and wait. Sheesh it better be good and include some free stuff LMAO.........any hints or clues come on help us out here........almost feels like christmas.......or a prostrate exam :--| not sure which

[fisherkid]

that's how I feel about it. But the change from subscribe to support seems to indicate it will be a pay only site. I personnaly feel that alot of info comes from the non-payment types but if they can they should pay. I would think a site where people can't see what there is until they pay would limit how many would join. if it's a site that you can only post if you pay that's entirely diffrent.
thats all under the assumption it's a payment limmited site

[the rhondel]

I'm hoping Matt is finally making his move to the Eastern Shore...............btw,I liked Clyde better when he/she was Claudia.His next change could only be to neutral(which he probably is now anyway :p )....the R

[Pauky]

I really doubt it's becoming a pay only site. There are just those that just wont pay. I'd guess that more than half of the viewers would suddenly be cut off and just not come any more. If that happened then I can't see businesses, like The Bait Shack, pay for advertising; why would they foot all that monthly money for so much less viewers? The P&S readership averages would plummet from 500,000 page views and 20,000 unique visitors per month.

And, with a sudden drop in participants to chat with and input to read, I'd be reluctant to cough up my supporter dues, along with others, because I’d have to spend time elsewhere. I guess it would be a slow death for P&S.

I’m betting a dozen blood worms that it’s a whole make over of the site.

But then again, I could be dead wrong. I went fishing before thinking it’s going to be a great day and got skunked. :rolleyes:

One thing is for sure, the page views this Wednesday will spike high.

[Axon]

Heard Hat80 finally completed his sex change....

:D :D :D

All you VA boys are just jealious that the "God Father" spends more time fishing with the MD crew.

[fisherkid]

Yeah, that's a Google Maps mashup.

If you like this site, wait'll ya'll see what I've got coming for P&S. ;)

Well that just confirms what I was thinking. I'll bet he's even got chatroom capability integrated.

[HighCap56]

Must be joining Tidal Fish! :p

I'll take a screen shot of the "old guard" and will be awake to see the new site before you East Coast'ers our here in Cali! :)

We gonna have door prizes????!!! ;)

[AL_N_VB]

I heard a lil bird tell me that SF was opening a franchise of P&S bars ,along the east coast.

All P&S members will get free rounds of beers...there will be a special back room....thinkin he's callin it tha NS4D Champagne room. Matt's already asked fer Anne's #.

Heard also that tha R and Hat will have a live band @ tha B-More spot...the Ole Fogies Rythem Section.

Heard the menu would be handled by the A/C.


Dayum Matt...ur too good to us!

[Thrifty Angler]

Only pier and shore reports will be allowed. And as a result, the boating board along with it's Moderator:rolleyes: will cease to exist.

Resignation effective 2-28-2006. :) :) :) :)


OR

Flea's gonna drop the invisible mode for all members.

As a result,
the above mentioned resignation becomes effective 2-28-2006.:) :) :)

I'm all out of guesses. Those 2 just popped into my head.:D :D

What's that I hear playing in the distance?.:eek: Taps??

[fyremanjef]

I posted this in the supporter thread, but I will repost it here

What I heard is that all supporters are going to (in addition to paying for the site) everyone will have to take SandFlea fishing once a year (including bait, gas and beer).

Just what i heard....:rolleyes:

[Newsjeff]

NJ- ya feelin any better?
I'm afraid not. Back to the doctor in the morning. I think I've now got a respiratory illness. I had pneumonia last year, and I think I might have it again. Being a diabetic sure doesn't help fighting any sickness.

Thanks for asking.

Man, it's gonna take me months to get back the weight I lost.

I can't wait to see what Matt has in store for us. :D

[repair5343]

How about a hint.
Good change or bad for US.

[fyremanjef]

Me and about 15 people I know got this chest cold that is going around. Lots of coughing, sore throat, sinus etc.

[Shoebag22]

Face lift...
forum lift...
board lift...


bored lift?:p

[emanuel]

Other than that, maybe he sold site to PETA :--| or it is becoming a porn site, made a tidy profit, is skipping out of B'more, and heading to fishing heaven.

I think all the people in Florida teasing him about how warm the weather is down here finally drove him over the edge. My guess is that he won the lottery and is moving down here to get his revenge on me for all the teasing.:D

[Otter]

Googlemap-type interactive map w/ hotspots and links to reports.

Either way I think it would be a cool addition. Know what I mean?

[CrawFish]

March 1 huh? Could there be a fishing report? We could use one of those. There aren't many in our area. :p :D :)

[RuddeDogg]

Been my experience on rare occasions change is good. We shall see.

[Kajun]

the last hobby site that i was on that went "subscriber only" became a ghost town faster than you can shake a stick at...needless to say within 6 months it was opened up to everyone again....people contributing are what make a good forum..without people its a nice empty spot in cyberspace.

Bro,

Try Google Earth Community. If there isn't a forum started already, you can make one just for your own buddies and if they use Google Earth, you can email them the pins and all kinds of crazy info.

[Pauky]

Otter,

That would be a good addition. And perhaps some live video feeds on our popular spots.

[sand flea]

A few things:

1) I will turn this into a subscriber-only site about 10 minutes after hell freezes over. Never. Nada. Forget it.

2) Sorry to torture everybody. Winter's been long and boring. I had to do something with my time.

3) If you're a subscriber, you can get a look at it over on the Supporter Forum. Have fun. ;) The rest of ya'll can see it tomorrow.

[repair5343]

Well its the March 1 ,its about 8:30, 8:45 am
nothing new yet?:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
