or is the CAG forum like being back in high school?

It's like dealing with a bunch of 16 year old girls.

lol....thats why I don't go there!

blame the moderator.

weak.

There are always 2 sides to every story

not this one, the head mod over there is a tool.

I thought you meant about the Kernel/Herkel matter.

Lmao. Piss off, you wanker.

Actually Mike, it was a lot worse before I was there. Sadly, there is a small but vocal contingent over there who like to argue, piss, moan, make each other look bad, etc, etc...

It's basically like the OT section here on TFF only less mature. Lmao.

I didnt mean anything in particular...just reading that forum anymore is a chore. No matter what is posted it turns into some spat over something totally insignificant.

Nah, Bret's just taunting me lol. Kernal/Herkel is on going and always will be lol. Sadly Herkel has extra pull cause he's an admin.

not anymore, he resigned yesterday and now supposedly Kernel used Herkel's ACP access and gave out BOD info, supposedly

Heh, there's very little "supposedly" about that lol. We're been discussing it for a while now.

What's funny is I have no idea what the heck you guys are talking about and the forum still irritates me! LMAO

ditto

dude, it is good stuff. Straight up drama.

I haven't been to cag in awhile. It's way to slow over there, not like this place is A rocket ship or anything either.

I avoid CAG unless there is a specific thread that is recommended to me. My membership has expired and I do not expect to renew. If I decide I just HAVE to fish the ATC next year I may renew for that.

To each their own but I agree with Scott Evil. Good Stuff over there.

Often I view the jacka$$ stuff the same way you guys view the CAG stuff. Hay you guys can draw the younger crowd with the jackassery and CAG can draw the grumpy old men and brits. LOL

It's just politics within an orginization. This too will pass. I'm supporting CAG for the long haul. It's getting better, just a few bad apples.

The grumpy old men are in CAG? Heck, I've been reading the wrong message board! What is a CAG anyhow, Carp Anglers Guild?

close..Group

Scott......You got that right.........The other side will soon be revealed I am sure......Then the real drama will begin!!!

Yes you certainly have Justin

Keep in mind, the CAG Forum is not all that CAG is about. There are fish-ins, national events, and a quarterly magazine. You hear about the Austin Team Championship, the First Fishing Folly, and the CAGI(Carp Anglers Group Invitational)- These are CAG events that have brought Texas Carpers together. They offer a chance for Carp Anglers to come together for "In-Person" fellowship and, if you choose, a little Jack@$$ery.

Go to the CAG Forum. There is a lot to learn there. The Good far outweighs the bad- There's just a small vocal group that likes to ruffle feathers- You'll soon learn who they are and what their agenda is. Skip the threads that don't interest you- I did before I was a Mod; I would just look for threads about techniques or reports that sounded interesting- I rarely stuck my nose in the carpolitical threads.

If you have any CAG questions, feel free to PM me.

Then if you want the real answers...Pm me!!!!

Just so were clear. I have NO problem with CAG as an organization and think it is a great thing! I was just commenting on some of the garbage that goes on over there. It seems that 60% of the time I go into a thread to read about someone's catch it turns into some "jerry springer" event.

Anyway....I just didn't want people to think I was bashing CAG or anything like that.

well, the threads where people question other people's weight of their fish are going to happen. Some people have [censored] for scales and they aren't accurate over 15# but not sure if worth busting their balls publicly is the answer, keep it in pm's so only the mods and admin can see , lmao.

CAG is not bad. You can learn a lot of stuff over there. Like Scott said. Im to old for all of that Jack@$$ery lol. I did that stuff in highschool and in my 20's lol.

Thank you for your help, Karl- You are a real sweetie!

Chad

Your welcome honey!!!!

its not that people question weights, you post anything and you get attacked for fun. worthless. post about bait, tactics, beer doesn't matter, one of those bad apples will attack you

I only joined CAG for the discounts... And I am yet to make a post in the CAG forums.

I get enough drama in my life as it is... For the time being a moderate amount of "jacka$$ery" is what I need!

I like the info and the magazine but I rarely post on there.
Like Guahpo I also have more than enough drama in my life.

Surely the carping carpers stand out on that forum. A long time ago I posted about catching a good size carp on a minnow and the thread went on for months with zero related comment. If this is only 60% now then the improvement is outstanding.
