Site Change?

Your right Dawnely, the majority of the problems are coming from that crowd. Thus, it is imperitive that there is a site to educate those fools and try to curb the problem before it gets any worse. The ones posting that this site is not "game-oriented" enough or what have you, generally fit into two classes.

1.) The ones who actually do know their sh** and are too proud and mighty to educate those that need it

Or

2.) "Cyber-doggers" who talk a big talk on the net and cant back it up in real life. All I can say to those folks are......dont be suprised when (as simms so correctly put it) bumping those gumms gets you in trouble!

 

If you think that all "game\true pitbulls" will except who their owners except and will not bite anyone, you are sadly mistaken. You say "People are buying these dogs and no nothing about the breed." Let me ask you this, is it the people who are buying them or the people who are selling them to those types of people? I think you're passing judgement on the wrong bunch, the ones who knew better from the beginning should be who you're pointing fingers at, not some ignorant know-nothing. If it wasn't for the responsible owners of the other "pit bull" type breeds, the APBT would have already died off in the last few years. The owners and breeders of the "game\true pitbulls" are too afraid to stand up for their breed in fear of them going to prison and their dogs being destroyed like everyone elses. So you say that we should go along with those people and ignore the problem? I seriously doubt another Internet "game dog" haven for law enforcement and animal activists will ever come out of this site. There is already way too many accusations and suspicions flying around about this site already, no need to give them what they want. I can't believe that people want to turn this into a federally owned and operated site, it doesn't make any sense to me, but I guess whatever floats your boat.

 

All I ask for is that the knowledgable ones keep sharing what you know with us "newbies" or "still a newbie but not as much as I used to be"s. It's greatly appreciated.

 

The phrase, "Punish the deed, not the breed.", has left out something very important. PUNISH THE BAD BREEDERS!

 

i am just here to learn...

 

And that, my friend, is a wonderful thing.

 

Don't know if this is possible but why not make private threads?
You would have to be part of a group to actually see what it says. Make it password protected so only specific people could post on the thread. This would keep a positive outlook for the breed but let others talk about whatever they want. Even so, you wouldn't want to put names on the thread if your talking about proven dogs of today but it would allow those who want to talk about specific things be able to discuss what they want and nobody getting upset.

 

exactly!
there are NO "safe" places on the internet, end of story.
