Well. I gotta say, sitting here waiting for it to warm up so I can go flintknap(procrastinating/feelin lazy) I decided to waste wifi and browse a bunch of hunting forums I used to get on. Went through about 4-5 different sites from predator hunting to trad bow hunting to hunting my state to hunting Texas and MAN! Every other site seems full of jerks. I'd read a topic that was interesting, something like backcountry sleeping bag choices and people would be getting so riled up and telling other people their sleeping bag choice made them incompetent hunters. Absolutely ridiculous. And the traditional archers seemed to have comments on any thread regarding compounds or crossbows or the pioneer air bow about how those guys are ruining the sport because they didn't shoot a traditional bow.
So I just wanna say thank you to all you primitive archers, bowyers, knappers, basket weavers, whatever it is you do that draws you here, for making this place so nice and peaceful to waste my frozen mornings browsing on. Now we just need everyone to start posting more topics so I can read em since it's only 11 degrees out still.
And thanks to whoever designed the layout for making it so uncluttered. I'd spend more time on another site about a planet of paleos that seems like good people too but the mobile version is jammed full of ads and you can hardly scroll through a page!
Maybe it's just that the people who still have a desire to connect with primitive ways of life are just a kinder and more understanding people. I dunno but I'd share a campfire with any of you. Unless your a lurker. Your already addicted if so and you need to just join and start showing off your projects and asking questions. This place is great ;D

Everyone today seems to be looking for a fight these days. Fortunately we have our own little oasis here on PA.
-
When you log into paleoplanet the adds all go away. Just an fyi.
-
I'll try logging out and logging back in. I did the stay logged in thing a long loonnnggg time ago and it still has em. Maybe I was grandfathered into the ads! :o haha
-
Logged out, logged back in and no ads! Thanks!
-
No worries, but dont abandon us over here!

Ya about as simple and peaceful forum as I have seen, we have our trouble from time to time but seems everyone forgives and forgets and moves on. Glad you enjoy it, I know I do. :)

Still gotta deal with jerks like me on this site, but I try to stay civil most often.

What did you call me, Brennan?!?!?

Pearlie, I think he called you a stick flingin', skin beatin' wood monger...what of it!?!? >:D. Josh

I can dig that :)

I used to be a Mod on Paleo P when it first started. Then found PA when all of the fighting was going on and been here ever since once it got cleaned up, some. Then PP turned into a Calif. thing, trying to please everybody that got their feelings hurt or wanted a Thread for their "specialty" thing. It got to be a pain to navigate for me, but Tom and I are still friends and think it's cool how the site has grown since it first started.

On the flip side I think the Primitive Archer magazine is one of the finest and most informative archery related magazine out there today. The PA forum and PA magazine walk hand in hand. Thanks to all that make the magazine and this forum an enjoyable one.

I'll second that JEB!!!

I totally agree Jon, as long they keep on top of the hats for winning BOM entrants. That is still something I'm passionate about, for some reason, the hats.
-
Intuitive site, fine folks, wealth of knowledge given freely... Me likey!
-
I'm still a closet fan or recurves made of that unspeakable material and I used to hang out in those forums a lot. I just can't do it anymore. I share lunch with the folks in this site every day and I look forward to it. The way you all keep being nice to me I may get away from the f'glass forever!
-
Glass has its place. No shame. I got one.
-
The fighting and generally nasty attitudes are the main reason I ended up here on PA. I think a HUGE reason why it's so civil here is the no religion/politics rule.
I also have a couple of glass bows, they're what got me back into shooting so I have a fondness for them.
-
OH, MY! You guys really have Glass bows? Shame, shame, shame.
-
Whatever, Eddie Bear :)
