I'll chime in on a few off the top of my head:

brought you this forum

helped a bunch of people get into trad bowhunting

moved backpack technology forward
I delineated from his comment that Aron has helped the hunting community in terms of conservation etc.

I see you guys meant in terms of business.

My apologies.

OK, thanks for clarifying… then I would say most recently helping in the defeat of proposition 127.

And by default, his promotion of trad hunting IMO helped us all accept that we can get closer. Made us better hunters even if we’re not trad. I’m not just relying on my 70 yard pin to get it done.

Drama seems to surround & follow certain "celebrities" in any given industry.

At some point, rational people will start to ask why instead of immediately dismissing the events as BS.

Frank's experience mirrors other things I've heard about AS, from sources that I deeply, deeply trust.

To add something constructive to this thread. This is the way I also see things working around here.

MHG was allowed to absolutely slaughter OGDramaLlama, Delete Member, AVB and a few I am probably missing but anytime a few people/companies get brought up, threads get shutdown pretty quick.

Now do I blame Mods/RS for doing it? No, not really.
Do I think it awfully convenient that there seems to be some "protection" for certain people/companies? Yes, yes I do.
Does it effect me or my life to a level that I am going to create a thread to complain about it? Nope.

Eventually one of two things will happen. It will become so obvious that this place has fallen inline with those that pay the bills that its nauseating and I will find a new forum to call home or it wont and in 15 years, I will be the old fart still hanging around.

and everyone of these POS threads changed the tone of the site to negative (not just on the threads themselves but it bleeds out to how people get treated everywhere on here. you don't see it like we do because you're not a mod, just a consumer) That's why you remember them and they're why we watch closer now. AVB got put up when a bunch of us were out hunting ourselves or would've got taken down much sooner.

and the Elkshape thread, that one too taught us this stuff is poison to most members.

Just took a random screenshot of "what's new" posts on Rokslide in the last 60 seconds. Those are the topics we created this place for, not gossip site.

we allow members to put up 1,000s of company reviews, and as long as factual, they stay up.
I don't like what either of you are implicitly or explicitly saying about the MHG. @CorbLand: remember the Kifaru wallet drop thread?

Who?

In other news, Biden may have started a nuclear war with Russia, but this issue about some guy that hunts or whatever is the top news of the day.

so what. Frank's moved on. you should too.

this is the exact reason these threads get locked... "I heard, I think...therefore I must speak and make the world right again."

but like said on on the last page, somewhere around 97% of RS members don't care.

yawn.
