Hey Jim,

You asked for it so here is my 2 cents. I DO NOT want to pay for some BS video to play while I am surfing the discussion board. I am not for sure how everyone else feels however I come to fishin.com to see what the discussions are about and to find answers or input to questions I personally have ( i.e. the jack plate issue). I do not know what the monetary direction that you and Peter have decided to go in with fishin.com but if it was to come down to everytime I log onto fishin.com I am getting pop ups wanting mne to purchase something or some video just automatically starting I will start finding other ways to get my information. Please do not take this wrong as I love coming to this site just the way it is. Thanks and thats my 2 cents worth.

I don't know how to make a pop-up. I just know how to get rid of them.

Marty, there would be no popups, there would be no videos on the board.. this would be an OPTIONAL service. You could post YOUR videos of your fishing trips and we would tag them with ads from tackle dealers etc.. They pay you do not..
We could also produce video's for you to use on the water for things like Float and Fly, Various knots etc.. that you could view while on the water to learn a new technique or way to fish a bait.
OR we could provide podcasts of Audio or Video and require ONLY THOSE ITEMS to have a Membership to download.
We are not changing the board, but we do need to create revenue streams. Failure to do so would be stupid as far as business is concerned.
We are trying to find things that you guys might be interested in, like the radio show I have posted the link to.
