Sticking your head in the sand wont solve the problems of MLS, Bag limits, gill-netting etc, it just removes one of the few forums where it can be talked about!

The idea to remove the forum wasn't to make the problems "Go Away", there are no doubt other forums on the net on which conservation issues can be discussed, it's just that Mike felt WSF was not the right platform to discuss them. The forum is all about Sea Angling, sharing knowledge, chatting about tactics and making friends, all the Conservation Forum did was make enemies and create opposing factions which carried on the same unchanging opposing points of view from one thread to the next, to the next etc. I can't believe some of you want that to continue to be honest!Removing a Forum as important as Conservation & Angling Politics isn't going to make the problems go away
At least somebody can readFor anyone that has not read the announcement about the removal of the conservation forum, Mike has also announced that there will from April be a conservation BLOG available. That will allow the good conservation information to be displayed without the petty bickering.
A good move I believe.
If the conservation stuff was just being binned and conservation as an issue being ignored I would agree with the negative comments some folks have made, but I think that this way the essential conservation information and discussion will still take place, but without the "noise" getting in the way of the facts.
Nice one Mike
I personally believe that today you can no more seperate sea angling from conservation issues than you can drink beer without pi55ing![]()
We are creating a better, bigger and more visited section for it, doubful that we've created a blinkered world, we are changing the format, don't cherry pick sections out of the announcement the key phrase in that announcement was "IN IT'S PRESENT FORM".Hope you Mods and Mr T have a quiet time in the blinkered world you have now created.
Read the announcement...its changing format and is been moved to the main magazine area of the site (thus a blog). Read before you post - it generally means you get the full facts and don't post something insinuating we are doing something we are notSticking your head in the sand wont solve the problems of MLS, Bag limits, gill-netting etc, it just removes one of the few forums where it can be talked about!

Hi Marcus, i see from that picture that you have a new hat?
That's why we need the delicate orange mits of the Mighty Chesilmaster to bring us back to earthsickening is it not the way this thread has gone off topic and endedd up silly?
well that is exactly why the conservation forum got the heave ho, because it was not used sensibly and people got threaghtened and all macho at the drop of a hat.
