Whoa... I am shocked and saddened to hear this. I've met a lot of great people and shared and learned a lot with the community over the years. I'm really sorry to see it go. I think I was one of the early crew that abandoned Spearboard to come here (and I was the OP on the #2 thread on all of Spearboard at the time - LOL). I will confess that I came here today after many months of not visiting because I wanted to see if anyone was talking about a certain fish taken here in SB yesterday. (Still haven't checked as I saw this thread and immediately wanted to pile on). Guilty Dam and Chris, THANK ..read more

Not sure how many more days we have left here at spearingforum, but thanks to EVERYONE who helped grow it! From the recipes, to stories, to gear review or just shooting the shidt, it's been a great ride. For those of you who asked whats next? I'm trying to relearn the programming from my last forum, it was the precursor to spearingforum maybe ten or fifteen years ago and I'll run it and see how it goes. For those of you who were on there before, it's going to be the same rules as previously. The address is: https://spearfishing.forumotion.com/ Some things you should know: 1. The forum is li ..read more

The cost is not really the issue, the issue is lack of response or perceived use. We can tell that people are still breezing the forum by visit numbers but the posts have been steadily dropping. I took a look at spearboard and it's crickets there too and they don't censor spots or even stop drama when it used to come up. It's too hard to compete with instant gratification from facebook, instagram etc. It's a problem everywhere. I have some ..read more

Dam and Chris, Thanks so much for hosting this forum. I’ve learned a ton here. I also connected with someone who is now a friend, and for that I’m super grateful. The reality is that I don’t post because I really don’t have much to contribute… I barely get to dive these days and when I do it’s in someone else’s back yard. Plus, I’m no expert… so I usually feel like anything I have to say would be Thank You for all of your hard work and dive safe!

Well, other forums still work. We are having intense discussions on chassesousmarine.com on reel line and pully brands jajajaja. You may have to learn french or spanish though lol. Spearboard is all ours now I guess. It's still running. I can't believe we'll have to go back there. Statistics: Posted by rene — Wed May 17, 2023 2:44 pm ..read more

The best bet is to join one of the local clubs in your area. Once this forum dies out I might resurrect my old forum, but that forum will be limited to 100 people and has automatic filtering to keep out lurkers. The way I had it before, if you didn't post up at least x amount of words (ie a story, helping out answering other questions, congratulating people on their fish etc) it automatically weeded you out after 30 days. Some guys thought ..read more
