New Design on the other forum

[Oliver1329]

Has anyone seen the new design on the other forum? I check it ever so often to look at Norm fly tying posts and I had no idea where to look because of the new design. I personally hate it and I saw that @Stonedfish hated it too

One more nail in the coffin for me.

The photo above the logo is a spin rod?

Speaks for itself…

What a buncha clowns. That’s almost as good as when WDFW had that photo of an unclipped steelhead held out of water on the cover of the regs.

I saw that too and I was like "huh?"

 

[cole_p]

Looks like shit over there haha

WTF! Simply amazing they'd be that clueless and tone deaf...or perhaps not.

I still have a thread on the front page.

The software in my old iPad won't open their site. Yet again in the last year I can't access 2 local news stations any more.

Not the least bit surprised. You're seeing why I was immediately inspired to make our new home. I've seen how they operate before, and knew it wouldn't jive with our community.

Only thing good anymore about that site is the classifieds section

From a design point, it's clean and okay. The logo with the spinning rod is hilarious though! I mean the site is named "WA Fly Fishing".. even if you don't fish, you could search for a better logo image! That's just lazy and shows they don't care much.. for me, I've been checking in on WFF.com periodically but just posting here as most of the guys I know well are here or will be here eventually!

Anyway, cheers to WFF.com of the past, Scoones and getting all this stuff started 20 years ago!! And thanks to Evan, Josh and Billy for getting this site up and running! And to me for... nevermind..

Bill

 

[Doublebluff]

That is really, really funny.

Another reason to thank Evan for standing this new watering hole up so fast...so thank you, Evan, once again!

It was time to delete some bookmarks anyway. Boink!

I'm digging the "What type of shit ya tyin' yo" thread

 

[dflett68]

a couple of rich quotes from one of their recent 2021 regulatory filings:

"We focus on hyper-specific subjects that engender strong affinity from online communities of enthusiasts, super fans, experts, pros, hobbyists and armchair
analysts."

but we don't sweat pointless details like a homepage image matching the name on the forum, that's for hobbyists...we are pros.

"Independent Communities
We also face competition from a number of smaller, independent communities. Most of these communities are
maintained as a part-time effort by an enthusiast founder with limited resources. These communities typically started
as part of their founder’s personal interests and may not have the technical and operational capabilities found in our
communities. The founders of these communities often lack the operational savviness and relationships with
advertisers to efficiently monetize their audiences. Our communities provide a better user experience and regular
software updates, in addition to better moderation and quality control. As such, we do not view independent
communities as a significant competitive threat"

or, we just buy them

VS never filed any reporting specific to WWF, which surely means it fell below any cost threshold which would trigger an internal or external reporting requirement.
