Re: Poll votes
Next idea... (check my first idea, and please see that I am looking for a solution to save the site)
Who is the owner of the information contained on this site? I guess it belongs to Jerry.
Is this the best resource for information on lure building that has ever been compiled? Yes.
Where did all this information come from? All the members of this great site.
With out the generosity of the members and their willingness to share what they have spent hundreds of dollars and countless hours learning this site could not be possible. With out the generosity and vision of Jerry this site could not be possible.
Back to my idea...
Could Jerry get a book deal and have an editor to compile the best of the best information available on this site. A book like this would be the Custom Lure Builders Bible. There are enough people in this hobby and enough people getting into this hobby that a book like this could be a big seller. Not on the best sellers list but a great seller. I don't know if a publishing company would be willing to front the money but if they would, it could work.
I hope members don't view my ideas as me being a cheap ass and not wanting to fund the site. My ideas are my attempt to save the site. I feel that a monthly/yearly due will bring this site to an end as fast as the 2006 crash. Who wants to come to a site every day, or check in 3 or 4 times a day when there is no new post to see. we all know how boring it is around here on the weekends. There will be 12 hour clips where nobody post a thing in the hardbaits. Imagine how fun it would be if every day was like that and all we had left was the same guys getting to the point that we post "good morning" just to have a new post. That is not my idea of fun.
Back to the book. I like books. They are a constant and you have a reference that doesn't change. You know what page the information is on and that page gets a little worn. Books like this have been attempted but no one have ever be able to perfect it. Every bit of information needed to perfect this is right here. The site changes and valuable tips and ideas get lost in the thousands of pages, and everyday the page the information is on goes deeper in to the abyss.
Jerry,
Would a Business ideas to save the site thread be valuable to you. Could a thread like this be private and only open to members that ask to be involved?
Long Live TU
