webber Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Just wondered if this is not a duplication of what NOBS claims to do. They started out as a free organisation. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Does it matter? If they are uniting beaters and pickers up to shoots and vice versa it is all good. At least they didn't call themselves NOBs2 like a certain clone forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish PUBs every success, every extra person we get out into the field through PUBs, this forum or others has to be a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuBS Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 On another Forum someone commented that because I was personally seeking Picking Up i did not inspire confidence in the effectiveness ofPuBS - only problem was that I have found picking up through PuBS - and it didnt cost them or myself any money!! thanks for your compliments guys and gals - there is plenty of scope for everyone in cyberspace some will succeed others may not- let the users decide.

chop Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 As the intrest grows, So does the costs of hosting the website, and if it continues to grow it becomes a full time job that requires a wage. The reason NOBs started charging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuBS Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Actually noone in NOBS draws a wage and I dont believe that they claim expenses either, they do have a database and programming to pay for whereas PubS uses posts in its Forum to connect with shoots and people. i pay any bills for the website but that isnt expensive, and also for the freebies - car stickers on order next, and maybe a few lanyards for whistles etc to come soon- we have about another 30 pages available from our web host and the Forum is a FREE Forum - we have paid a small sum to stop the adverts that is all. people have generously advised us and helped to develop things but PuBS will be FREE as long as Im connected with it. Shoots are now finding vacancies and more are signng up daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuBS Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 As the season progresses we are finding that more shoots and keepers are interested in sourcing beaters and pickers up and as our members are getting around shoots more are learning of the existence of PuBS. membership is accelerating and more and more people are getting placed.
