I've been tossing this around for a long time based on a lot of what I've been reading in here regarding some of you folks using Facebook.
Many have tried to get me to sign up for all different kinds of reasons. But I never have mainly because I dont have the time to hang there, and the last thing I feel like doing seriously, is being found by some ex school mate after 25 years and explaining my life to them and every other one that comes along. wtf? :laf:
And I surely aint joining looking for anyone.
But what if there was a Facebook for us as predator hunters?
- A place made up of people with the same interests as us.
- A Facebook environment without all the horse shit that comes with face book.
- A place where anyone into calling coyotes, hunting predators, can go and not deal with the animosity and bans that are associated with the forums.
- Like face book, a place to catch up with your peers, or do some advertising, or show off your pictures to all
All the different predator hunting boards on the net today, and all the new ones popping up, plus all the new clubs, associations...are for the biggest part spawned from the animosity created on the different boards, or with the people who run them.
What if you really like a certain guys call making ability, but you cant get to the forum he hangs on because you been banned for some reason or another? What if he cant go to the board you hang on because his peers will ban him? :iroll:
Or ...how bout taking hero shots of your hunts and not being able to share them with other people with like interests, because of the forum bans and animosity?
Or...how about advertising your website. You can cough up ridiculous amounts of money and abide by the shakey rules of yet another forum filled with predator hunters. Or do it for free in a facebook environment where the board animosity doesnt exist.
Well.......after many days and many hours of tedious research and long nights of key pounding, uploading, and coding, I finally believe I have finished up with a viable solution, and would like present to you the results of the last 2 months of my life. :laf:Predator Caller Central (http://www.predatorcallercentral.com) ...a FaceBook for predator hunters.Check it out, beat it up, invite your friends, enjoy it, test it.
I'm still considering it a work in progress, as it's pretty tough to test the functions of social network alone :doh2: :laf:

Barry :laf:
I'm gonna add a maple leaf into the logo for you :yoyo: :thumb2: :yahoo: :dance: ;yes;
I think it will be a good place to go.
I'm in under HaMeR of course. :yoyo: :yoyo:
Thanks Jim!! Now you better sign up too!! :yoyo:
I'm already there,kinda hard to build that with out it. You can call me Jim Champion :laf:
:laf: :laf:
My state says Alberta and I'm worried that some goof in the states will equate that with being a friend of the crimson amphibian :holdon:. Any ideas on how I can delete my account there in case things get out of hand :shrug:. Never been on facebook in my life and I am not sure I want to have more than my buddies here to talk with. I can chat with you guys anytime on FnF and if I'm on the new thingy that just takes to much time.
Jim is there a chat feature some where on there already? I'm not to up-to-date on the facebook thing either .... :nono:
To delete your account Barry, you can try clicking the delete button. :biggrin: :laf:
You knew I was gonna say that right?...please say yes. :eyebrownod:
Gundog, no chat right now. Most communication will be through wall postings etc.
Jim just where do you finfd this button :innocentwhistle:. I figured you'd say this yes but I don't know where said button is :doh2:. I've considered pouring coke on the computer again but I think that deletes to much :shrug:.
Purdy cool! I am in.......BUUUUUUt
How do I see someones wall??
Barry, click the profile tab, and then edit profile, and then click the button that reads "delete".
Al, each users wall is under the recent activities on their page.
Below the bar that reads; "WALL"
You can also click the little > and close the "WALL" or anything actually.
Thanks Jim. Hated to bother you but I don't navigate well on this thingy. :innocentwhistle:
I got it now My dial up was just slow... :madd:
YOU? bother me?
:nono: :wink:
I just clicked on the profile thingy and it showed my age, where I live and sex[not whether I wan't it or not :argh:] and online status :shock2: :shock2:. Isn't that a whack of information to have out there. :holdon: That scared me almost as bad as one semi coming down the highway sideways at me 20 years ago :whew:.
I'm gone from there :whew: :whew: :whew: :whew: :puke:
I have no friends :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :alscalls: :alscalls:
You control whos see what Barry. Only you can control your profile, but obviously it's going to show it to you. :wink:
I should have read the fine print first ... No photobucket videos allowed? :shrug:

Yeah sure like I knew that :noway:. See you guys on here where I'm already screwed :readthis:
Gun Dog...I think that because Photobucket is one of the few that will not update themselves to run the vids "On Site".
All the videos on Photobucket have to be viewed on Photobucket.
Where is the best NON - child proof site to host them then? :biggrin:
Wellllllll, what'ya mean by NON child proof? Easiest to navigate and upload? Your talking to the wrong guy :biggrin: their all easy.
And actually all of the ones listed on the upload page are very reputable.
QuoteEasiest to navigate and upload?
Yeah that's the one! Dang computer guru's :innocentwhistle:
Youtube is my personal favorite :biggrin:
I signed up but I's, I say I's is gonna take it sssslllloooowwww. Not sure how that thingy works just yet.
Now ya know how I felt trying to build it. :eyebrownod:
Jim, I think you have hit on a great idea.
Hmmmmm, I just went to FB and typed in Predator Caller Central and nothing showed up. Why's that?
Why not just make a group ON Facebook?
The clock is all screwed up for me...... Is that something I fix? or is it that way for everyone? :confused:
My clocks not screwed up Al, did you wind yours?
NASA....it's not associated with or connected to FaceBook, that was the whole concept.
Wolfwoman...trying to avoid the Facebook, how do I word this....queerness.
Brokeback :innocentwhistle:. Glad I made it outa there :whew:.

I've never been to Facebook. I don't have a clue how or what to do, and am too dense to follow the why. :confused: I'm signed up but will probably spend my time here.
Jim - Is there a way to get in and look around without signing up? I was on FB for about two days before I cancelled. Got emails from people I don't even know wanting me to be their friend!
Jim, I understand now. But......... a group page on FB just might be an exciting adventure, LOL! :corn:
John, there's no preview type account available but what would be best would be to simply create an account, play around in there and check it out.
It doesn't cost a nickle, and there's no obligation.
I encourage you and the others to stop in here and ask questions, or have issues addressed. I'll be happy to help.
I'd give it a couple days cause if your new to any of it, it'll be kinda overwhelming at first, and appear pretty chaotic. But so were the forums when we first started playing on them. In time things just come naturally after repetition.
If after a few days you decide it's just not for you, removing yourself is as simple as three clicks.
PROFILE > EDIT > DELETE
I'm aware that this might not be for everyone, and I have not a thing to gain either way. This was created entirely for the users.
NASA, A group page on FaceBook might be just that for some. Personally I'm not a Facebook fan for many reasons, some of which were outlined in my first post. But also here I'm in control of the app and not them.
This software does have scripts available to remotely connect with FaceBook, which would allow users to log in directly from their original Facebook account, or...invite and share, etc from Facebook.
Those scripts have been stripped from Predator Caller Central by me and will not be used.
Facebook is just not for me nor what goes along with it. Plus the whole integrity of our site falls into the hands of Facebook in that situation, and I just dont need that kinda hassle or reputation.
Hey, Jim, I didn't mean to sound so negative. I'm a dinosaur, so out of date that I don't know what the advantage is to spending time on the new site. What does it offer that this place doesn't?
No probs. I'm not recalling picking up on any negativity anyway. Were good :wink:
Whats the advantage verses here?
Well, outside of the several points I touched on in my first post, not a whole lot. But with that said, each place will offer different advantages.
Predator Caller Central much like facebook, is more of a profiling site, a social network. Where anyone is welcome to join and create a profile, create photo albums, share videos, comments, advertise if you like, and browse the profiles, albums, and videos, and comments of others with our shared interest in predator hunting.
Our forum here, just like every forum on the web, is a community.
Predator Caller Central again much like facebook, is a network, a social network, which is usually made up of several communities.
Forums are designed to be discussion sites, literally made up of discussions. And well...they are.
10 years ago, you could count on one hand the number of predator hunting discussion boards available on the web. And over time that number has increased more then 10 fold, literally. Most of that has been caused from greedy administrators, or entrepreneur wanna-be's creating animosity in their own communities in trade for power or monetary benefits.
They pay for it in the end by their community getting a bad rap in the eyes of their targeted audience. (Predator Hunters)
BUT the predator hunters pay for it through the long haul via all the anomosity thats created. And over the past 10 years there has been some very reputable, well known, and knowledgeable predator hunters put out on the street for lack of better terms because of it. Predator hunters that we all know, have known for a long time, and whom many of us learned from are NOW literally scattered everywhere.
They arent allowed here, he's not allowed there, they allow them, but they dont allow him, you have to pay for that, you have to pay for this. :doh2:
Predator Caller Central connects the predator hunters, literally! But without all the administration bullshit or discussions on the discussion forums.
It's a social network made up of not the communities but what's in the communities.
Thats about the best way I can think of to desribe it. :wink:
I posted the PCC logo on my FB site. I'm ready for any heat anyone may want to dish out.
But I'd be surprised if there were. Only those I approve as friends can view anything posted on my site.
Anybody besides me having trouble loading pics on there? :confused:
I sent Jim a pm, but it appears it would let me load from my computer if I wanted to, but not a photo hoster......................yet.
I tried to load a couple more from my computer. Took a shower, ate dinner, and another 15 minutes later they still hadn't loaded. Just kept watching the boxes trying to load it. Finally just gave up on it. :shrug:
I got 2 of the 3 pics loaded it took about 10 minutes and I gave up on the 3rd one
I have the pics stored on my desk top
It won't let me post any pics from photobucket
I wasn't able to import any pics either.
I uploaded about 15 pictures a night or two ago, and it took me around 3 minutes.
Gundog uploaded roughly 20 in what appeared to be just a few minutes also.
If your uploading raw pictures from a digital camera it's going to take longer because raw images are normally over 2000 pixels wide and over 2000 pixels high, the servers GDU software is going to have to reduce them which will kick down the govner and make it idle up.
The best thing to do is reduce them ahead of time, and dont try to upload 37 pics at a time.
When I did it, I did like three at a time, and it went bodda bing bodda boo.....done.
If you save an image from photobucket to your machine and then upload it to the site from your machine it'll go, but you can't link to photobucket.
One other thing to keep in mind, is this server runs back ups at 1:00 am every single day for about 2 hours, and if your trying to upload pictures during that time, and snuffing out the process with an oversized image, it'll get timed out waiting for the backups to finish. The backups arent going to pause so you can finish, they run priority.
I up loaded 1 pic this morning and it took about 3 seconds working good now
Hey GunDog and NASA I can't answers your questions yet. Seems there is a problem with IE, however the Boss is working on it. Will reply as soon as he gets it figured out, didn't want you to think I was ignoring ya.
I figured you were as lost as I am JP ... :eyebrownod: I've got a lot of pics saved in some formats that just will not load on the PCC site. What I am doing (and as the Boss pointed out) is resizing them ahead of time and saving in a jpg format and then loading to PCC. They load in a matter of seconds. The other night I think I tried to load some when the server was running it's back-up. I accused Jimbo of un-plugging my picture uploader :biggrin: Fish pics on a predator callers site... :nofgr:
How come it always shows bad or low karma? That's kinda creepin' me out. :huh:
I still can't up load one pic from my photobucket account. :wo:

Todd, go to your photobucket pics. Right click on a pic and save it to your computer. Then go to the new site and "brouse" and upload the pics you copied from photobucket onto your computer. That's what worked on mine anyway. :shrug:

IMHO Facebook is a toilet.
It's like swimming through an ocean of schit to say "hello" to someone you were kind of friends with that one year you had 2 classes together back in high school.
It really is that awesome?! :iroll:
A huge tool that allows a loose network of "friends" to lurk on each other without actually having to be bothered with talking to each other.
Examples:
“Holy crap hun, come look how ugly Greg’s kids are!â€
“Wow, she got fat.â€
“WTF happened to Cindy? Wow, she used to be so pretty, she’s the poster child for white trash now..â€
“See, I knew he was gay.â€
Did I mention it’s a toilet?

That was GREAT! And so True! On Facebook, I have got about 300 people wanting to be my friend and I don't have a clue who they are. :nono: I haven't posted anything or said anything. I just signed up and said I was friends with a person who is on Facebook. Now all the people he knows and all the people they know are wanting to be my "friend". :alscalls:
I use the Facebook to a limited extent, but not just anyone makes my list, and if they don't have anything to say over a peroid of time they get removed. :biggrin: With that said I have hard enough time keeping up with it, so I figured I for sure wouldn't have time for the predator one. :confused:
Matter fact I have been think hard about just deleting the FB thing too. :shrug:
The way I see it; if they ain't had the time to call me in the last 30 years, :confused: I ain't got the time for them. :noway:
