jonezy Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) What happened to the rotary letter we used to do on this forum? There seems to be an abundance of people with either high technical knowledge, vast experience or outright brash opinions. All of these, at least in my eyes, would contribute greatly to the format which I believe was actually quite successful and, more importantly, interesting the last time we did it. Would anybody care to contribute if it was brought back into play? For anybody who doesn't know the format mentioned, it's basically a chosen subject and then the person who writes a piece nominates the next person to contribute their input on the subject matter. It also doesn't have to be entirely serious and humourous posts are more than welcomed. I'd go as far as to say they should be encouraged, personally.

nealjt Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Yes very good idea, I'd contribute, (don't expect much vast experience, technical knowledge or brash opinions though!) Would be great to get old and new to say their experience on any given subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spr1985 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Is this a vote? If so I vote yes, I think it would be an interesting read, and as I quite often say the wealth of knowledge available on the forum should be exploited [emoji12] nealjt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nealjt Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 CM I think it would be a great way for people to share thier thoughts without it becoming a slanging match. Anyone in disagreement if/when nominated would get the opportunity to give their opinion and balance the argument. It could make a great read, opposing opinions stating their sides and the readers can take the advice that they see fit. I for one think the first subject should be a double hitter, "boilies and braid" te he he :-) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonezy Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 The general rules used to be that only the nominated person can comment and they must address the original subject rather than the last post, although references were obviously acceptable. gagnaccarp and nealjt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nealjt Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Jonesy and CM I think with the suggested format and willing participants there would be a good opportunity to have fresh thought provoking content. Mods bring it back please[emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nealjt Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 To add, I think it would be fresh content, that would be clear of the clutter unhelpful disagreement and could promote side thread where specifics may be discussed. I know I would look forward to the next addition as though I was subscribed to a magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanz Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Just get one going lads, we don't need Mods to agree , they won't delete it!! We just need a few subjects to get us started, so what should the next Rotary thread be about??? and who starts it......Jonezy carpmachine and nealjt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanz Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Its not a bad idea Jonezy, i know some guys have a go at my threads but, i dont see too many people putting up subjects worth commenting on or anything at all, and it gets a bit mundane when no new subjects appear. Got to say CM , it would be very dull on here without your threads....if your not thought provoking your making me chuckle with the bickering. spr1985, nealjt and adamkitson 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigewoodcock Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Get some ideas down for the first subject on this thread. I will then start one off by picking a random name from the list of most recent posters to do the first instalment. If people can stick to the rules and only the nominated person posts, then all should be good. hutch, nealjt, adamkitson and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nealjt Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Subjects erm I'd be interested in; - Using pva - Why people fish - watercraft - fishing new waters - rig choice why, where, when I'm guessing these are pretty standard but could make interesting reads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanz Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I like Neal's idea of a side thread, I don't think we ever had one before, and had deleted posts and threats of bans A side thread would allow the agreements or disagreements, banter and bickering without ruining the original thread. nigewoodcock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigewoodcock Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Subjects erm I'd be interested in; - Using pva - Why people fish - watercraft - fishing new waters - rig choice why, where, when I'm guessing these are pretty standard but could make interesting reads We have done watercraft and fishing new waters. The rig choice one would be pretty good I reckon. yonny and nealjt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanz Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Did we not have a rig choice as well?? Not that is matters I'm sure we may have changed our opinions on all of the bottom three of Neal's list since....not even sure I can remember my responses too the ones I was nominated on...May have to have a recap!!

beanz Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Cheers Nige, I thought about asking/begging lol not to pick me first, but thought that would guarantee you picking me .....I played it well Neal or Jonezy. nealjt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nealjt Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Ha ha! I vote jonesy he started it after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonezy Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) To be honest, I think most of those topics have been done to the death on the forums anyway. How about something a bit broader like how we think carp fishing will evolve over the next decade and whether or not we'll see a similar huge growth in other sectors of fishing? What with the otter problem along side other "predators", mainly of the human kind (whether that be killing fish or the desire to turn every lake into a commercial), diminishing the sport, I think It'd be rather interesting to see different people's take on the matter. I'd like to add that I wouldn't like to start the first one, especially if it's on rigs as I only use about three.

nigewoodcock Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Go on them steve, pick one of jonseys subjects and start us off. Post it in the carp fishing area and I will stickie it. nealjt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nealjt Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Love it! Yes much better subjects, although standard carpy would be interesting as has been said there is one heck of a lot of knowledge on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonezy Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Doesn't quite work like that, mate. There's no time constraints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
