Kiene's Forum will be shut down permanently on April 1, 2019

[Langenbeck]

Bill: How about the guy who made this decision come on the Board and explain his rationale. Right now he is pissing off lots of loyal customers.

[BumpBailey]

This makes me think. What came first, the shop or the site? Of course I know that answer, now. But, for me, the site came first. I never would've learned of the shop, bought fly tying material nor would I have taken a spey casting lesson from Andy.

I hope this is a knee jerk decision and the person in charge realizes he might be cutting off his nose to spite his face.

Starting April 1 guys. Relax, the forum is part of their online store. They’d have to totally revamp the website. Happy April fools day.

[Gregg Machel]

I'm afraid this isn't an April Fools Day joke. Just a coincidence. I talked to Bill today and we are working on something to keep the board alive. More to come soon. And hello to everyone who I used to know here, I've been gone a long time.

[Cutthroat]

I haven't read all of the 8 forum pages about this decision, but I'll be really sorry to see the forum go. I have been a member for two or three years. I have learned a lot and I have contributed. I have never joined Facebook, nor do I intend to. Thanks for the great service you have provided.

Hello to you too Gregg. It has been a long time buddy.

Best news I’ve heard in days Bill! I hope you realize the depth and scope of your contributions to our local fly fishing community. I think you may have had a more substantial impact than you realize. This board has been a real benefit to our community; I know I’ve sure benefited a lot! Looking forward to the new version ��
