Lot of people on here still with 20 odd years of posting behind them.. which is good to see.

Most are probably to old to get there heads around Insta or Tiktok or any other forms of social media the kids use these days...

Though I do use Insta and Facebook for a Carpy chat from time to time. I find the forums far less clutted. To much noise on the Socials at times. We all know what we're on here for. It's a shame some more won't join us..Maybe a recriutment drive is in order

Maybe Karl’s can Send some branded CF tops or pin badges (if any left) to some sponsored anglers for them to promote the site

How very dare you

More a case of we dont give a sheet what others are doing, and are happy in our own little world without any need or want of adulation from others, or giving it to 'today's stars/ tomorrows has beens'.

But if you like social media good on you, enjoy, each to their own

I've been here a while too.

I think I do have some little enamel badges left, happy to send some out to long suffering members...if the price of the stamp is covered (they're so flipping expensive nowadays and I already run the site at a financial loss to myself each month )

With care, the pin part on the back of the enamel can be prized off, you then just get a nice flat metal Carp with can be glued onto stuff (I used to have one on my monitor bevel in ye olde days)

The dumbing down of humanity you mean?

Instagram = Look at the pretty photo's, because you can't spell four letter words.

TikTok = Watch the retarded videos that last no longer that 10 seconds, because you can't spell four letter words & you also now have the attention span of a snail.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
