WalkedUp Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 He got tired of the forum being constantly derailed by a small number of trolls, people who don’t shoot dominating shooting threads... people who don’t have dogs derailing the dog threads. He quit around Feb/March from memory, I messaged via Jacko. It was a shame to lose JDog and Jacko, the later broke the rules due to being unable to deal with the constant trolling. They were some of the few people here who posted actual content and not just promotion for their YouTube channel etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 I think we have to accept that members come and go and some stay longer than others , another one who was a regular and a first class pigeon shooter was my fellow county man ( Motty ) not only was he a master at pigeon shooting he was also a very keen wildfowler , I believe he had some personal problems but he was certainly missed when he no longer posted.

Rim Fire Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 To be honest i think if you took the off topic section out you would lose quite a few members because that's the only thread they post in they don't actually shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to realy enjoy them . Found them helpful. Don't even read the for sale stuff. I enjoy the banter from some members . And the lad from America when he posts stuff . I help run a Facebook group on a camera I use 24,000 members from all over the world , love seeing picture from different countries , I learned something a couple of years ago . Our humble little sparrow is almost world wide . How amazing is that the " wee Spuggy " is famous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kippylawkid Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Always found JDog a knowledgeable, articulate guy who is extremely generous with his time and pigeon permissions. A great contributor over many years to this site. It is a poorer place without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yates Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Sad if that is the case. Much respect that he left quietly with no fuss unlike some previous members who have made a song and dance about how ‘PW has gone down hill blah, blah and I’m leaving’. Im one mainly posts in off topic. As I have shot in over ten years I have to add to most of the other topics but really enjoy reading what my fellow PW members post as this keeps me touch with something I enjoy Edited September 28, 2022 by yates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
