pmak Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Stewy & Donna, so sad to hear the news but at the same time, really happy for the both of you as I can imagine the release from the burden of managing and supporting what must be the largest online community of anglers in Australia. The community you managed to foster and grow is unprecedented and may never ever be repeated ever again. Kudos to the moderators over the years who helped as well as the many people at the forefront and in the background who made the site genuine and a place we can all come together to share our love for fishing and the great outdoors. My kids are now taller than me and don't fish as much any more but they still remember the Botany Bay social! As a family, we are eternally grateful and feel privileged to have been part of Fishraider and wish the both of you all the best in the years ahead ....

fragmeister Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Thanks Donna and Stewie for providing this resource for as long as you did. I can only imagine how much effort was required to keep it going and it must be very hard for you both to make this decision particularly as you know how much it has meant to the members. I hope the new found free time gives you both more opportunity to enjoy time together. All the best to you both and the many moderators and members who have made this site by far the best fishing forum around. Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellcorner Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 That will teach me from jumping the gun! I was reading other posts, and realised what I did, but it is great news that this site will remain open! I enjoy seeing people catching fish, learning and mastering new skills, achieving PB's and how people mentor others. Here's to looking forward to being part of it all, one way or another.

jeffb5.8 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Maybe this thread should be closed, since it has been saved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragmeister Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Not a bad idea... I think some readers still get alarmed when they see this for the first time... Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
