one time i arrowed a robo deer off a side road. i packed that stupid thing into
my truck before Fish and game knew what was happening. now i place it on the front end of the property.. see if idiots shoot at it. the irony …

Pandabear was not the one I was talking to. She was a veterinarian (I think) in TX or OK, young, conservative woman. I tried to persuade her to move to MT and marry a rancher and invite us to keep elk from ravaging their haystacks.

That would be Randi I think.

 

[longbow51]

That would be Randi I think.

That's right! Is she still around?

Nope. Gone like the other pals Europe came here with.

Well, this is an election year and I think those former untraceable members were most active four years back. I’m not saying everyone who shows up this year should be treated as a Russian bot. But the social media bot Communistfuckery is real, a new form of psychological manipulation. So I’ll trust, but verify.

Pics or it didn't happen...

Honestly, I don't care what the answer to this thread actually is, but can we just agree to vote him off the island already?

Your observation is correct. It is a continual assault from overseas, most of which now use VPN services to try disguise, but our software is part of a larger group of forums and social media that reports known bots and spammers. So, when they show up, with a known IP, from a problematic VPN, with a commonly formatted email address, and a few other key identifiers, the systems sorts them for manual approval.

My default is to just decline their registration. I am sure a few well-intended people get declined as part of that default position, but it is better than having to clean up the mess created when one of them get through.

Thus, we have blocked all places other than the US or Canada. There is some exceptions for those who were here before we installed the "Iron Curtain." And their response is to use US-based VPNs, most of which are their proprietary VPNs, making it easier for software to identify.

Anyone wanna own a forum? Only cost you $1,050 per month for hosting and software, and as many hours as you want to invest.

Will you take a cashiers check?

@Big Fin, I really appreciate you grandfathering in those of us who were already registered with a known VPN. I’ve been stationed overseas for the past 3.5 years and am very grateful to have had access to this forum to feel connected to hunting when I couldn’t go anymore like I’d been used to.

If you’d let us do a pay wall, it wouldn’t cost you that much a month!

I saw some of y’all talking like you think @Bill Christy is not bot since he put up his intro thread. I’m holding out until he replies here. If you can use ChatGPT to generate thread content, surely you can click the “mentioned you” link to land here.

 

[VAspeedgoat]

Not trying to hijak the thread, but I kept wondering. Was Europe real? If not I fell hook line and sinker but I felt like Randi, Panda and Europe were legit.

I mean if it seems to good to be true, it usually is.
