I never said people come for just the classifieds. If I did please send me the quote. I said it is very large draw to the website for new users.
Okay, fair enough. I compared it to the area most of your google searches are going to pull you to, sorry I did not add in every forum thread count such as the Trail Cam Photos, Old Hunt Contests, Videos, and Cooking.
Just for fun I went ahead and added them all up and the total thread count is an astonishing 19,914. This is including everything from Videos to old Hunt Contests. The Classifieds are sitting a little over 5800. A little simple math and you find that roughly 30% of the started threads are coming from the classifieds alone.
How can you disagree with the numbers? I never said people come just for the classifieds I said its clearly the largest draw which singularly it is all you have to do is go to the home page and look at the numbers.
That means you have to add up every single started thread from Camping, Cooking, Trail Cam photos, and old hunt contests to equate for 70% of the content.
People are looking at these classifieds like they are a bad thing and that this site is only for "wealth of information and knowledge" I hate to tell ya they classifieds proved just as much knowledge and information or they have for me at least.
Generally people quit reading before a post is finished and don't get all the information someone is stating. I have been in favor of the $15 for Red, the fact of the matter is, the classifieds make up a big part of the website.
