My personal view is that things have slowed down quite a lot the last couple of years. There were a couple of members who usually posted quite regularly but they seem to have left or they are not active. I was trying to get some info from Admin on Sealine Clothing since the Sealine clothing range has also gone missing in action.
HAHA..occasionally emps pops into drop an advert..maybe he just has bot running now
Enigma is still around but must be fishing his brains out then, lucky bugger.
Someone cleans up after the spam squad pull in? I Like the civility of the place, I think we all have figured the place sorta runs itself..occasionally with someone picking up the cheques and paying the bills as its still online and the advertisers chop and change still.

I see many of the members asking and reflecting about the "good (or bad?) old days" joined the last few years. It is true that many of the so-called trouble makers have left the site and many of the old toppies have either moved on (literally) or simply got tired about some of the negative comments made when members post photo's of catches. I also visit the site less frequently.
But I must admit that I sometimes really miss those days. Admin admittedly frequently had to call us to order and some members were frequently suspended for up to a month at a time for transgressing the rules of the site.
But they came back every time and if you search back for info on any subject you will most probably see that the stuff with substance dates back to those days. Even this Lounge area was so busy that one had to page back several pages to read posts that were posted only hours before.
We had raffles and competitions on this site, with members trying to outbid each other, all for some or other good cause.
Sealiners were proud to wear the blue Sealine colours and when you meet a stranger on the beach, the first question you ask him, is his Sealine name. We were THE angling forum on the internet and anglers frequently referred back to the site for information on any angling related issue. Members were rewarded for their contributions to the contents and value of the site and when members were "promoted" in member status, everyone were quick to congratulate them.
But those days are long gone. The members who made it interesting to visit the site have left and most of the original Admin members also left. Some (two that I know of) even created their own sites.
Um...I'm rambling....I know, but sometimes one gets nostalgic about the good ol' days. Sigh...

Kaspaas,,,,Many a true word spoken, I for one could possibly be a 10 year-member,and I fondly recall the early-days... Like you mention,time waits for no man,and many other platforms have been generated. I would like to think that Sealine played a role in all and every other platform in South-Africa(many will deny it of course).
Be that as it may,in the archives(unfortunately some have been lost)is still a wealth of information,and anyone who don't believeme, I dare you to type in any fishing,or casting etc-related search-word in the search block.(comes with a warning ,hehehe).
En so loop die uurglas leeg.....
