Many members automatically get an email update whenever they get a private message.
Is it time to send out a mass private message to all members?

Good idea, John. Who knows how to do it?

I've been checking every couple days and was surprised when the home page loaded up on my computer.
Thanks to all that had a hand in bringing PA back. RickB

I dunno? Kinda like how the mass messaging was done for Bow Of The Month?

Maybe call Don Berg and see if he will help. :o ;D

That's setting the bar pretty low, Sleek! ha ha Thanks, you guys, for bringing it back. Tried a couple other forums during the break and nowhere else is quite the same.

Hey I showed Sleek how to do that. He is working on a lot right now and will send something out or I can if he needs me to. I know how to do it.

just checked and on top of sending a PM to all users the software allows to send a newsletter (simple email)
I think it could be worth the shot

Hey, that's great!

This is such great news!! I sadly rarely visit the forum anymore as my curiosity has led me down other rabbit holes, but archery is still a huge part of my daily life and the knowledge I gained through this forum will stay with me for a long time. A huge thank you to Sleek for taking on this responsibility and for all other users and supporters who continue to make this place the heart and soul of primitive archery knowledge and learning in the modern era. I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Getting the email that my account was accepted onto the website was a really pleasant surprise.
Was going on an internet manhunt for all of my later father's posts on any arrowhead site I could find, and it seemed like I just missed the mark on this forum that seemed to be dysfunctional. Now I can see his posts, Thank you!!! :OK
Hope that the forum can regain its popularity and community again. (=) :G

Great to meet you all again, thanks sleek!!

Wow! Your comment gos right to the heart of why people took up the task of reviving this forum. We just could not stand by and see the archives lost. I mean, we all wanted access to posts made by friends and ourselves....but this....THIS!
BobbiJo, I am deeply moved that you've now got access to your father's posts and can experience some of the fellowship he shared with us. May I ask who your father was?
-
I am so glad to see the return of the forum.
I don't know how ya did it but Thanks Kevin for making this happen. :OK
-
I'll try to list some of the things that PA needs in my opinion. Feel free to comment and extend.
1- Setting up a PA donation page
2- forum direct access to primitivearcher.com domain if former commercial activities are dead.
Probably a redirect would be a good option for those who access via bookmarks
3- get rid of all "the end is near" posts. they make me anxious (lol)
4- change the "link in post" post policy to allow direct links to other informative sites with no commercial intents.
Referring to external information sources without a link was often a pain in the...
5- pinning a thread for forum's suggestions, issues reports...

.... and btw from now on osage has to wait
SLEEK IS THE KING !!!

Thank you Kevin for bringing it back. I have not been on in a while due to not being secure and for one reason or another it would make my phone crash. This forum has done a lot for me not only in my ability but I've met some of my best friends that about 8 of us still text basically every day. Some of it's archery related most of it's just friends sharing friend stuff. Hope it can come back and be easier to post and secure. If there's any sort of a yearly subscription I would be glad to participate as I don't go on any other social media and really enjoy seeing what other people are up to and sharing mine. Looking forward to the changes!

Sleek, you are THE MAN! thanks for getting the forum back up. I appreciate everyone who played a part in getting the forum back up. im excited to see the changes made here on the forum. I hope we see the forum come back in popularity, especially with this second chance.
-
I have been member for years but not been actively posting although I have been reading it regularly, and when I first heard the magazine was closing down and the forum as well I was really sad as this has always been the most relabel source of help and information.
Many thanks Sleek that have solved the future for this forum, I am greatful :OK
-
Really glad this site is back.
I don't post much, but I enjoy coming here and reading, it feels so much like home.
-
I forgot to say thank you to those who brought this back to life.

Is the forum still linked to the Primitive Archer magazine?
If it is not, can we please reinstate Bow of the Month as a competition open to all?
I feel this will help encourage and retain interest in the forum.

No, for now the magazine is non operational. Bow of the month will come back as soon as I learn how to change the banner image on top of the site. The BOM winner will have his bow displayed there and hopefully hyperlinked to the build thread. That's the plan anyway. Anyone's help who knows how to do that would be greatly rewarded with a plethora of thank yous!

Great that the forum is back! However, one of my friends has been unable to register because they haven’t received a confirmation message from the administrator. Additionally, I have sent a couple of private messages to the administrator about this, but I haven’t received any response. So, is it possible to register on the forum? Right now, it seems impossible.
-
Send me a pm with his email address, and his name that he registered with. I will approve him. I apologize for the delay.

Thank you! Pm sent.
