Help me with a Decision! Please Read

I'm still here, and would use you if needed. We met briefly when I was on your dove lease some years ago. You seemed like a good guy and clearly have many here that echo that sentiment. I just haven't had the need, and have never actually had a mortgage.

I do think there are a lot of people that lurk and rarely post. It seems like the big archery days of the early 2000s has petered out quite a bit, and clearly the big technological/design gains are behind us. This is still a great forum ( my favorite by far, and the only one I look at daily ) but it seems like forum visits in general are down. Seems like most people just want to see a quick video of someone else doing stuff rather than learn and do it themselves. Or maybe I'm just getting old. Don't know.

I am still here. Lurk way more than post. I usually only post when I feel I have something relevant (Imo) to say.

We’ve spoke a few times and would definitely be my first call if needed. I’m not sure how much a sponsorship is, but 752 clicks as of this post has gotta be worth something.

In light of this thread, I’m surprised to see how many are not “supporting” members of the site. I find it a low cost entertainment for me annually.

If I was buying I would use you. Not buying anytime soon but would definitely keep it in the TBH family if and when I do.

Your mesquite work are my favorite mounts and my family is endeared to you after your generosity towards my sons FFA birds.
I am more guilty than most of reading and not posting, I’ve always loved TBH and should do more to keep it active.
We’re lucky to have you here and I wouldn’t hesitate to use your services.

Need your input and response, please.

I’ve been a TBH sponsor (your mortgage lender) for several years. Started that after being an active member since 2001. Overall, it’s been a fantastic investment. From 2019 – 2021 I closed loans for well over 100 of you guys. Crazy times, for sure!

Since the site shift last year, we all know usership is way down. So now I’m at a crossroad of deciding whether to continue. I’m hoping responses on this thread will justify the sponsorship.

Please reply here – I’m looking for the numbers. Lurkers? Jump out of hiding for a minute and let me know you’re still out there!

EDIT AFTER SEVERAL REPLIES BELOW - making this decision has nothing to do with a lack of loans in general. That's a 100% product of the market-driven downturn in all mortgage volume over the last two years - no relation to TBH. I'm trying to determine how many people are still on here and reading threads compared to a few years ago.

Thanks!
Trey

I agree, gotta be worth something right?

[dgilbert]

Not what it cost to be a sponsor vs return on being a sponsor? Sorry not much help. Don’t see me buying anymore property and what I did buy I pay cash.

I know the forum has lost interest, don’t see much regarding bow hunting related threads, just BS threads from the same people.

I'm still hanging around and as others have said if I was looking I'd holler at you

I hit TBH everyday pretty much every day. But I don't always post. I don't even have a compound anymore and sadly the trad forum is on life support, so I frequent the Leather Wall a lot more.

[Paycheck]

I can say I am on here more than ever. Life has slowed down a little.

[bpa556]

I’m around as well. I don’t post much unless I feel my input may be useful to someone. I enjoy perusing the joint.

I don’t know what sponsorship costs, but I’ve been a supporting member since I joined. Though I don’t post all that much, I like to think my money helps out in some small way.

I’m still here.

Trey, we talked/emailed other day. I'll have more questions this week on the refinance. I hope you stay!
