Is SB.com fading away???

I also have noticed that the site has been slow. i think it may be the time of year. I'm still posting as much as ever but I don't see a lot of the guys that I use to, here. maybe it is a sign of the times. Facebook certainly has siphoned off a lot of the picture posting.

All of the above. Facebook, fishing, get togethers, getting people on the same page, ny access to the site has been less than I'd like.

How do we turn it around?

Good question John. Not sure. I don't think it's anything you did or the site failed to do. It may be just a sign of the time. If you look at the other site they get a ton of traffic but it pure muck.

Stuff like:
My bail snaps shut of my 704, why. What pound line should I use?.Stuff thats been answered a million time. Maybe the younger guys just are not gravitating here. I don't know the reason.
It does seem the social aspect of fishing is disappearing. Guys I use to fish with are loaded down with family and financial responsibilities. Even my nephew hasn't wet a line with me in 2 months. Just to busy with work, kids, etc.
Perhaps it will change over the winter

Personally I'd like to see more people joining fishing clubs and ACTUALLY meeting other people with the same interests.

The clubs have suffered due to the internet sites (so they say), now the sites are suffering due to FB? I don't' get it.

Nothing better than getting out of the house for an evening, going to a club and shaking hands with fellow fisherman/women. Small talk, have a beer or a coffee. Listen to knowledgeable fishermen.

Just my 0.02....
