Please use this thread to voice your comments in SUPPORT of the Ice Shanty Free Online Trny. It appears as though this will be the last year for it which would be a real shame. A moment of your time and a few words may keep this event alive. This free Online Event is a great way to compete for a few prizes for young and old, as well as allow many IS Sponsors to get a little more recognition for their products and sites.

We need to get our members to actively voice your opinion on this matter !! If enough people want it to stay and speak up then perhaps we can save it for years to come. There are thousands of members which mean that we need hundreds of responses to show that the members do care about the ONLINE Trny. Win or Lose it has been a big part of the Shanty and many thanks to those that run it, participate in it, and sponsor it. I did my part ...now its your turn to SPEAK UP!!

I would like to thanks Lonewolf for hosting this annual tournament. It is a shame to see it go

This is only my first year doing the tourney, but I'm very hopeful that it continues after this year. I've been hitting the hardwater for many years, but only got into doing my local IS derby last year, and now doing that one and this one as well.

LoneWolf, it sounds like you've done a wonderful job with this derby for the past decade. I really hope that someone is able to pick up where you're leaving off. Either way, thanks for what you've provided to those of us that have been / are involved.

Does another mod have to take it over? or can a regular member?

I have followed this tourney for 4 years, and Lonewolf has done an excellent job, and I hope someone is able to take it over, and continue the tradition once he steps down.

This is a great tourny. i would hate to see it go, i have participated for the last 2 years.

walleymaster96 · « **Reply #7 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 04:19 PM »

this is my second year in the tourney and would love to see it go on longer

TinyTim · « **Reply #8 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 05:38 PM »

The tourney is always a lot of fun. I'm sure someone will take it over.

I do the IFOY on the Maine board, but if they would have me, I'd keep this tourny going too.

Lets face it, in the winter months we all get bored..
This tourney is something positive to look forward to. Helps beat the hibernation and with more competition gets me out longer and fishing harder then i normally would have..
Hard water fishing is a whole new game then soft water fishing, i think i am enjoying it more and more every year.
Every year i think the community of members is growing and i would hate to stop or slow such a great thing we share together by shutting down the tourney!

-Big high fives to Lonewolf and the many sponsers and people behind the scenes that help with the tourney, it obviously takes a fair amount of time and organization etc to keep it going..

-I think we can make this hardwater tourney the largest ever in the years to come!
-Hopefully if enuf people beg then Lonewolf will continue doing a great job, or someone else will take up the work/responsibility!!

I would like it to stay!!!!!!! Someone needs to step up and take the wheel......

AJ Flag · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 19, 2012, 06:21 AM »

Just so it's clear what is the exact reason that it would be lost? Just that Lonewolf is going to run it anymore, or is there another reason that would stop it form taking place?

This tournament is a very positive aspect of iceshanty. Lone wolf has done an excellent job running it and I hate to see him let it go. We all understand though that this must take up a big part of your time being in charge of everything, so thank you for sacrificing your time for our enjoyment. I hate to see this be the last year and hopefully some one will take over the reins and continue the tradition. Thank you again lone wolf

i have done it for 3 years never entered anything. i think it is a great turny and lonewolf and crew have done a great job of running it. it would be a shame to lose it. Thanks again Lonewolf

icemantwo · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 21, 2012, 11:38 AM »

The online tourney is great and I hope it continues to run for many years

SL Victoria · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 23, 2012, 06:41 AM »

I hope some how the tourney is saved, it has been fun so far. I have just entered for the first time this year and my little brother wants to enter next year.

numinous · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 23, 2012, 09:02 PM »

I am willing to help. Perhaps we can get enough people who want to be involved in the organization and logistics to keep it going. Whaddya ya say IS?

My thoughts ^^^^^

Dtaylor8 · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 24, 2012, 07:35 PM »

I can help in some way, would love to keep it going. I haven't done it here yet as I am a new member but definitely would next year and would even donate some prizes.

Raquettedacker · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 24, 2012, 07:56 PM »

It has nothing with donating prizes... LoneWolf has some great sponsors... He has spent countless hours running this.. The thing is the time it takes to do it.... It would take a MOD to run it and Mods have enough time spent reading posts let alone going through all the entries in the tourney... I'm not a computer geek like he is,

. (just kidding) but if I was I would love to keep it going... we will see what happens... Don't wright it off... Maybe a few MODs can collaborate and run it next year??

TinyTim · « **Reply #27 on:** Feb 24, 2012, 08:21 PM »

Great idea! I'd love to be involved with keeping it going, but I'm not very good at the getting sponsor stuff.

Not a Mod, but I would love to be one. I am on here a lot and would love to help out with tournament next year, or anything for that matter.
