MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Let’s also mention the majority of new members are millennials that want an experience and instant gratification when they go on the ice, they don’t want to just sit there all day and put the time in, it needs to be instant success
it's not about when you were born it's about how you were raised.i was born in 85 so technically a millennial, but I was raised by my grandparents, so I wasn't raised like one. But that aside Most people in life are selfish and rude. I've worked in automotive customer service my whole adult life and people are just nasty...even some of the ones who fish.
I've met a lot of old dudes on the ice and asked them where they're from, how they heard about the spot, etc. And most of the time they aren't local and heard about it on Facebook. I really don't think its an age thing at all. Post a trophy fish with location online and I'll bet you its not just young guys there the next day.
This old dude's never been on face book.. and never will be.
....if someone doesnt like it here, the door isnt locked from the inside.
I guess ultimately that's the answer to the question "what happened to the forum?".
If you start posting on facebook I stop fishin with ya Joe... ok, maybe not but you know what I mean lol...
Lets look at it from a different angle....see new sponsors? Yup bunch of them. Why would a business pay ad money on a dying site? There's still enough traction here for it to be profitable and the number of sponsors show that. I agree with what was posted earlier, there may not be enough instant gratification material to win over new users but that depends on what types of users you are trying to attract. I know more people who fish that never and will never touch social media. They have a home here.

Good points. Would also like to add that this site has to have the biggest and most collectively experienced group of die hard ice warriors in North America, and probably the entire planet. Not everyone is here trying to look for quick and easy info on the latest hot spots.
Everyone thinks they have The Spot and are so worried it will be burnt. Additionally try asking for help about ice conditions you’ll get lectured about how you need to drive to check spots on your own and burn your own gas. somethings been lost. Kind of thought that was the point of the site to share information and help each other out
Yes!stop the entitlement mentality.find your own spots and become a better fisherman for the effort.
Additionally you could always try something different and help a fellow human being it feels great.
You guys couldn’t have made my point any better. Where’s the brotherhood. Have no sense of entitlement personally just always looking to help a fellow fisherman.
Really..brotherhood.. you mean the clown and flying monkey show that shows up with a half a dozen guys,parks in front of people's houses, blocks entrances, peppers the area 6' from you, leaves dead fish on the ice and mounds of trash everywhere.. Oh THAT brotherhood^^like ..
