[davidsr (David S Riley)]

Very interesting.
We have all been saddened by the passing of David Walker. Looking at the above statistics you can see what a major contribution he made to the Foum.
May he rest in peace.

[Adam_Trahan]

Really interesting statistics.

It tells a lot about its members.

It also tells about the site.

I’m going to miss David. He was the only reason I kept coming back at one point.

I want to see a lot more tenkara, Japanese influences here. Let’s see if that happens now.

[Scott_T (scott)]

I guess I spend a fair amount of time reading here. Not so much posting.

And of course @dwalker was going to be #1 in replies and likes. As the saying goes “we are diminished”

Looking forward to a vibrant 2021.

[Adam_Trahan]

@davidsr

Looking at the above statistics you can see what a major contribution he made to the Foum.

No kidding.

I am here for tenkara.

Not fishing in the sea chit chat. I fish in the ocean, nothing against it.

I really hope the moderation focuses on tenkara.

That’s why I spend the little time that I do here.

Tenkara

Thank you.

[Scott_T (scott)]

@Adam_Trahan You know, you could start your own Tenkara forum, if this one becomes too annoying

[Adam_Trahan]

I already have and it’s a really cool place. Filled with Japanese tenkara anglers, and with experts from all over.

[Jason_Seaward]

Cool. Best of luck with your forum Adam and conversing with experts that talk about tenkara-related things that you find of value.

[Adam_Trahan]

Thanks.

It’s not about me. I create these places only if I feel there is a need.

I’m not a big fan of managing them, I think it’s best if they manage themselves. I try hard not to create an echo chamber. The best experiences are 360, forums of diversity.

This one is on FB, it’s called “Honryu Tenkara”

I may plug one in to tenkara-fisher at some point in the future if this forum goes south.

[Scott_T (scott)]

I was going to ask if you revived the forum section on tenkara-fisher, then read you just started a FB page.

Who knows, might even be worthwhile logging in to FB to see what’s happening there.

[Adam_Trahan]

Jason Seaward just joined.

Go ahead and join, I’ll approve your membership.

No problem.

It’s not about me, it’s about mainstream tenkara.

I hope to continue to support this forum. Out of respect to how it was started.

…and for David.

[Jason_Seaward]

Lol, thanks Adam. Looking forward to reading through the posts and ideas.

[Adam_Trahan]

Hopefully you will find something you like or that works for you.
