Yeah, I'm with Greg on this one... I'm here for the guns, not the tits. I mean, the thread didn't bother me, but it's disappearance doesn't have me in tears either. I know you guys want 'one stop shopping', but the internet is a vast place with something for everyone... Google is your friend gents.

Your fired, thank you drive thru.

You cant delete the most popular thread ever on The Hide and just Mr. Nice guy out of it!

There needs to be some consequences & repercussions!...

This thread was on my list of things to check every day. I will be sad for its loss. I know that it did not contribute to the shooting content of the site, but it was still a wonderful thread.

Re: Motivation Pics????

The Motivational Pic thread sustained me through a deployment, and became my daily source for humor for over 4 years. Like it or not, it was the most viewed thread on SH, and in my opinion for good reason.

The tasteless jokes (the kid with no arms was way over the fucking like, btw), and endless reposts of soft-core porn were tiresome, but that's the price you pay for relatively unfiltered humor. If you didn't like something, you just moved on.

In all, it was a perfect blend of crude and adult humor appreciated by shooters and Mil/LEO types, and the thread's views and duration prove this out. If another similar thread surfaces, I'll do what I can to contribute.
 
Re: Motivation Pics????

i usually cant stand moderators, but mike is a good dude.he didnt know me from jack crap at a precision rifle class and went out of his way to help me out and ive seen him give alot of shooters good advice/techniques.

so mike your still a good guy to me.im sure the motivational bs will be getting tons of new posts added daily and it needed refreshing anyway.besides that being a mods gotta suck for the most part listening to all the whineing, i def wouldnt wanna do it,i know its necessary kinda like a janitor is necessary.
 
Re: Motivation Pics????

Rob,
Not lookin for a fight here but it was a great comic releif for a lot of people. I enjoy reading posts in every section of this site and comment when I think I have something to add. There is endless posts to read on this site. Some are full of excellent information and some are just entertainment, kind of one stop shopping. The recently deceased post was one of the most entertaining on the entire world wide web and will be missed. Condolences to Shankster for your loss...is there a res-erection in the wind?
 
Re: Motivation Pics????

Plenty of places on the Internet for comic relief. You have only been here 2 years and don't know what the site was so you can't know what has been and beIng lost by posters and posts like that and others.

Re: Motivation Pics????

I absolutely love this site and is where I spend probably 70%+ of my time online. It has had a profound impact on my development as a shooter over the past three years by helping me with reloading, shooting techniques, and trouble-shooting issues. There is no way in hell I'd be able to shoot as well as I do now (still got a ways to go too!) without the information here. Sure there are a number off bullshit threads, trolls, and meaningless crap I have to wade through to find true reviews, but to me it is worth that extra effort.

Also the number of industry leaders and/or representatives that are members here has always impressed me. USO, Schmidt & Bender, Spuhr, Seekins, NF, and the myriad of 'smiths and vendors. This site has provided access to each of these companies where I could get questions answered and/or issues resolved. As said above, thanks to this site (and the excellent customer service and patience) average Joes have access to insane amounts of knowledge.

While there may be some things that could be improved, this site as it is has helped thousands of people including myself better our equipment, abilities, and knowledge.

Re: Motivation Pics????

With a screw up of this magnitude you have to give Mike credit for admitting it, that goes to show just what kind of guy he is.

While I enjoyed the thread I also realize the amount of attention it required to moderate it. The thread was always good for a laugh and always one of my first stops.

We all know you hated it Rob but let's face it, it was a draw and site hits are what bring advertisers and dollars to the Hide. I don't need new load data or advice on something every day but can always use a laugh, smile, and even some of the original intent, motivation, on a daily basis.

As for Mike I hope he does not go away becasue of this. Good Mods are hard to find and the Hide has some of the best Mike included and yes even you Rob.

Lets face it shit happens and none of us are perfect.

Exactly. If someone had not posted an inappropriate item, the accident would never have happened.

Good on Mike for his admission... IMHO he'es representative of a great group of Moderators here. They are what makes this place not only informational, but fun.

Re: Motivation Pics????

As a few others have said, I too don't miss it. Which brings me to the thoughts of:

"How much was Mike paid, and/or what was he offered, for his efforts of helping clean the site, to get it back to what it was intended to be to begin with?"

I'm just saying.

And that I'd give a 'kick' when the hat got passed around to me, too.

Re: Motivation Pics????

Maggie's Drawers has been part of this site since the beginning, the fact the Motivational Pix Thread was the second most popular next to the girlfriend thread says a lot to me,

that people liked it, sometimes the small mindless distraction are the most helpful, especially when someone is having a not so good day.

The nice thing about the site is, you have choices, you can choose to look elsewhere as we do not force you view something you don't want.
