In the past week or so, there was a thread on here asking our age. Based on the results of that poll, if representative, there won't be many left on here in a decade or so. The problem is we are competing with other social media platforms that don't require reading, writing, or any other thought that requires more than about 5 seconds of the viewers short attention span.

Take some time to observe a Gen X or Z's viewing habits. Non-stop scrolling through Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, etc.. They rarely pause on a particular post for more than a couple of seconds. It's sort of depressing seeing where people are headed.

Based on the above, I doubt that this Forum is of considerable monetary value. Sorry, but maybe that's a good thing.

Sell it and then start a new one-we will all come over there.

Mostof my internet time is on Trapperman. I would pay a yearly fee rather than see you sell it..

I think you mean Gen Z and Millennials. Leave us Gen Xers out of it, lol.

This would be a good business move share owners would work hard at keeping things sustainable. Not sure exactly how to move ahead with the move but I believe it would be a success.

Your comments on age were one thing that crossed my mind when I started reading the posts. The thinking that Waggler has is a business concern if I was to buy it. On the other hand, if the people had a choice to buy into the forum as of shares, than I think it would be viable venture for the Boss.

I know us Gen Xers are all well into our 40s and 50s , there are a few of the born in 82-83 youngest child with several older siblings that fall into X but even the millennials started turning 40

I don't think trapperman is competing with anything , no such space else where
it may not be the most marketable of forums for adverts but I am sure they were Low balling as well.

First off Kudos to the boss for openly discussing something of this nature with the members of his forum. It shows he really cares.

For me, Trapperman makes up 100% of my social media fix, so big changes would not be something I'd like to see. Seeing somebody like Jameson willing to step up to the plate is surely heartening but ultimately, like others have voiced, I would be happy to see Paul do whatever works best for him.

You could run trapperman like FHA...trapper owned.

I have no plans to sell. I was just curious. I have no idea what will happen to it when I croak, but until then, it will stay like it is.

Danny,the owner of the CNTA forum has just passed,he put the forum up for sale about a month before he passed,dont know if anyone has bought it yet,but it is still going.
Hope it doesnt fold.

There’s a lot that goes into creating a multiple, a large portion of my career was in M&A, buying and selling Fortune 100 companies, not uncommon to see 20x-50x multiples in that arena, even with small businesses. The higher the multiples are all driven by compelling value proposition and rapid growth. If you’re in a commodity based small business where the threshold to entry is low, ie; cleaning or landscaping business the multiple would be 5x, the business model is easily replicated.

I would not be surprised if the offer is from the government, or liberal think tank wanting to shut it down.
Too many on here are self sufficient and own alot of guns and free speech. Thats not very common anymore on any website.

This site is also a network of likeminded people across the country that could easily organize.

Jeff you hit the nail on the head I believe. My thoughts as well.

I will take one step further and say I would bet the fishing boat that the feds have been watching this site, and members for years.

We could easily organize into militia when/ if evading the profanity filter

They probably know us all by name.

Supposedly they keep track of me and others with my background in the military.

X2

I don't respond to threads about "show us your guns"

Makes sense.

Are you sure the offer wasn't from PETA or another group like that . They would benefit the most.

i dought paul would sell his and his fathers legacy for so little... remember trappers are the tightest {/} people to deal with this site is only reason i need internet !!
