I have never done this before on the forum, but I have to get this off my chest. I have been punched and kicked over and over again just recently. Most of it comes from Facebook and my dealing there just a little from the forum.
I don't mean I have actually been punched and kicked, but figuratively online. It is true when you have something that works others want to tear it down. They want what you have and if they don't know how to play nice the do what they can to make you look bad.
9 years everyone 9 years of hard work and dedication has kept this site running and growing. Have I done everything right (NO) of course not I have made mistakes? I have always owned up to my mistakes and done the best I can to make this a great comfortable place for all to be. We have now moved into 2 new areas tournaments and sales, we are excited about this, but in the same token has been an area of growing pains. There will some minor changes to the tournament series coming one is the all members must have a minimum of 50 posts. No more Facebook only members, please know this is not directed at all just need to make sure people are members of the forum and understand truly what we are doing. The other is sales, while we have had some great success there have been some unexpected thorns that were not expected.
This is all part of success, hard work and getting punched, and kicked is just part of the process. Like I said I have not done this before and I promise to not do this again but sometimes you just need to vent. This won't end anytime soon and I am sure it will get tougher as we grow more. We just need to remember when you are doing things right some people will do whatever they can to pull it all apart. Thanks for reading this I am done with this rant and thank you all for being apart of the forum you all make it what it is.
