Is ncffb officially down?

[Fly Guy Dave]

I was there earlier today, so this is a relatively recent development.

It was OK yesterday morning, now there is a message now about exceeding bandwidth.

[JohnS]

I don't know how the NCFFB could exceed bandwidth........hardly anyone ever posts there. I wonder if the migration of the keeper of the board east is the cause. In its heyday, it was the place to be.

"In its heyday, it was the place to be."

You can say that again. At one time it was the coolest board I'd come across, and I still mine the archives for info. The format shift was what killed it, at least in my opinion.

[Sammy]

I agree with KJE. Change in format killed it. Simplicity was key

It will always hold a special place in my internet heart. First place I looked into when i began fly fishing. A 50 comment thread was a daily occurance, with attitude.

My brother Stan and I had a great time pullin' legs over there. The "Ask Sarge" thread was a hoot & the various characters were a riot. I be missin' it!!

Sgt Diaz was a great source of information on the NCFFB about river closings and incleased levels of the toxic substance, dihydo-oxide.

KJE and Sammy are right. The format change of the website destroyed it, IMO. It was too difficult to follow threads and the activity level dropped off almost instantly.

Isn't it funny how one change like that can so quickly suck the life out of something so dynamic?

When it ain't broke...

They had some fantastic fish outs...............wish I could have made some of them.
