Too bad taxidermy.net forums aren't put together in the same way this board is, I mean it would be a lot harder for people to start fights and be posting as somebody else. I still visit taxi.net because there's a wealth of info on there, but I get sick of the fights and disrespect for other people. what do u all think

And I've commented on there about it was a great site but antiquated. And received a bunch of childish remarks. Sad, but expected from that group. It needs to be moderated and updated. It is really nice to be able to post pics here and see other people's pics. In addition to seeing what everyone has mounted I would like to see a "How to section", that way we can post pictures on different methods (casting, painting, etc..)
Kerby...

Good question wondered that myself kerby ! It wont be that long before there are lots of people here. Ive been on taxi net sense it started And I like these type forums better.

Whats nice too is if you have pictures you can post them. If someone sells bunk stuff, you can give them smite or bad karma. So if you have real stinkers here, then you can at least know who they are. Also, this is easier to read. I think MIKE should set up an archives though. I go to taxi for info too, but its alot more fun here. When I have the time, I browse through. Also, I dont have to sift through irrelevent name calling. When I came here, there was only about 43 people. now there is 70 or more. Slowly growing, but I think it is getting a bit popular. We should all give a big thanks to Mike for doing what everyone else wished we could do!! LOL

I agree this format is easier to read and topics getting the most attention stay the current topics, however I see a false sense of "we know who you are because you have to register and you get out of line you're gone". Anyone with "internet know how", will know to simply open another free email account with hotmail, gmail, or yahoo and re-register again and no one will know it's you. Also the registration is automated and there isn't someone activating each and every account all that can really be done is to monitor who's registered so far. Don't get me wrong it's some control as compared to none on taxi.net. I do like the ability to post pictures too, and having moderators is nice too, with the exception of moderators who delete post only because they (as an individual) don't agree with someone or have an axe to grind. I'm curious Michael, how are the forums backed up? Does Proboards allow you do that? Also, what happens if Probaords either starts charging or stops hosting this as a free service?

I also agree. While im still a big fan of taxinet this format is a lot easier. And theres not as much baby games on this site. We are supposted to be professional but the way some act on taxinet it would make one wonder.

This site is awesome and sometime down the road will be huge. The greatest thing to me so far is not being told to go click on the orange search button...my lord that got so annoying. This is much better though

I agree that this site can really grow and be really good, I enjoy it a lot, no orange button and not having all the negativity that taxi.net has, just seems a lot more friendly, especially for beginners.
