Welcome to LEU fishont - glad have to ya

Very nice man - thanks for sharing

Welcome to LEU fawnslayer.

No not for the time being simply because the content flow from LOU would be too high. I wouldn’t want to fill the entire LEU classifieds with LOU stuff. This is one way street for now to help generate additional traffic to LEU

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Really appreciate this. I will work on merging the fishing reports forum into a single one over the weekend (unless you have any objections). I also wanted to share a new feature I worked on last night.... starting yesterday, all new posts in the LEU classifieds will automatically be shared with the LOU audience as well. Here is a screen shot of what it will look like on LOU: This should help with a little cross-traffic and extra promotion of the items posted for sale here. There is nothing extra you have you do, just post to LEU and it will show on LOU. The posts shown on LOU are locked, this means no replies will be made on there. It will just show a link to the LEU listing where people can view full post and respond on LEU. This way you don't have to worry about managing multiple posts in different locations. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks again - Chad

That's correct guys - I run both sites. LEU was designed and based entirely off the template of LOU so things should be very similar in all aspects. If there is something specific, let me know and I can look into more for us. Thanks again everyone! Chad

Thank you for the feedback guys - this is great for me to hear. Keep in mind that LOU was started in 2003 and took 15 years to build to what it is today. If you want to compare apples to apples, LOU had 300 members in it's 2nd year. LEU is in it's second year now and we are already at 2,594 members! Now that number of members is small when compared with LOU today at 20,000+ members but keep in mind the site is young and starting a forum from scratch is just about the hardest task one can take on in this day in the facebook-age. I like what we got going here and I will be excited to see where the site stands 5, 10 and 15 years from now... you guys will be able to then say, I was a member of LEU back when it only was only a year or two old I'd like to hear more of your thoughts about COMBINING the fishing reports of warm and cold water species to just be one single forum for all reports. Would that be a better approach? Let me hear your thoughts.. Thanks again guys! Chad
