this post is a little tongue-in-cheek, but not totally.

We owners and staff are very happy with the crowd on Rokslide. I get feedback all the time from people who will only post on Rokslide as they like the crowd, feel welcome, don't get bashed if they post a picture of a two-point, new people/questions always welcome, plus all the great sponsors giving away gear and all the other good things you members bring to the Rok. Thanks everyone.

However, as we've grown, like any company, you attract your haters and we see a few more popping up here. Some are even commissioned haters from other people who hate us. You can "feel" their agenda in the first few lines of their posts; “passive-aggressive” tendencies I think a counselor would call it.

Ryan Avery watches the site pretty close and lots of members PM us if something is amiss. As Ryan, Aron, Darin, and I are super busy outside of Rokslide, plus the hundreds of combined hours per month we put in Rokslide, we don’t have time to fiddle fart with high-maintenance people. So Ryan just bans them. Has actually banned a lot more as of late. He’s probably even axed some people who shouldn’t be, but if they are on the line of PIA, he just hits the kill button. We simply don’t have time for the drama. We want to play with the nice kids.

So thanks to Ryan, you’ve saved us lots of time. And warning to the few (actually very few) people who appear to approach PIA, Ryan will ban you just in the interest of saving me time (Thanks man!)

The rest of you great members, carry on. You’re what makes it all worth it.

Rokslide is the best hunting forum on the net.

Thank you Ryan, Robby, Aron and Darin for the hard work you put into it.

and thank you all for being great members, helping each other

dotman, Axe Man might be a good handle for him. I like it.

Yeah, good work guys. I quit spending so much time in in another forums due to drama. Started out with lots of good info exchange and then everyone got so darn catty. I like it here, for sure. Keep giving them drama queens the ol' heave-ho!!

Thank you guys Robby Aron Darin and Ryan for keeping rokslide free of petty bs. This is the only forum that I am on. It has so much great info and I don't have a lot of time to surf so just depend on rokslide for help. Only did face book so I could enter contests.

This is what I envision Ryan as every time he bans someone...

Although I'm not very active in posting, this is the only forum I have ever payed attention to or joined. I've learned a lot and have gotten great ideas from this site. I appreciate the hard work the staff has put into this and the quality of posts I have read.

I can tell you from personal experience that Ryan is a class act, if he & the others feel the need to ban it's for a good reason, he's welcome in our camp anytime!

Mike,
that pic is accurate except Ryan's skirt isn't plaid, it has little flowers

I don't think that the owners and staff get enough recognition for the time and effort they put in, so that we can enjoy this great site for free. Thanks guys, we appreciate it.

If you have to ban a few trouble makers, so the site runs smoothly, so be it. We will miss you littlebuf......

Society needs to be a little more like this - cause problems, you're out!
