Just read this over there.
http://www.kayakfishingstuff.com/commun ... hp?t=76372"Due to the economic downturn, we have had no alternative but to close the store portion of KFS. We appreciate all of your support over the years and will appreciate and really need your support during this difficult time.
The forums, articles, blog, resources, and media sections will still be available for all to use and enjoy.
Looking forward to seeing all of you back on the water (after it thaws of course)"
There are a few measures we will need to take at least in the short-term in order to keep the forums alive. We ask for your patience, acceptance, and understanding in order for everyone to continue enjoying the community we've built together.
1) You may see a few more ads (I really mean just a few more. We promise no punch the monkey ads).
2) We will be setting up a banner that links to a website where you can show your support by purchasing KFS gear (shirts, hats, etc).
3) We will set up a donation link.
4) We will provide an opportunity for forum sponsorships.
5) We are also considering a paid area that will have premium content for those who really want to be in the know (We will need your positive feedback and not your criticism on the details of this).
Right now we can not speak to issues and/or items from the store but rest assured you are not ignored.
Please try to remember that with the store closing, many people lost what was dear to them as well. We ask that you respect Pat's wishes to be patient, positive, and supportive.
Again, the website is not going anywhere as long as we have your support. The only one that can kill this is the community itself.
Sincerely,
Pat and the Website Staff
