I agree to a point,the way he feels,but PLEASE,do not feel your efforts or being moderator are taken for granted! I see the same thing,many viewers,with weak responses. Alot of visitors reading the posts,continually return knowing there may be an interesting post or tale to be read. Not everyone will reply,maybe for many reasons, Some may not know how to respond,some are "gun shy". Like going to a party,and not knowing anyone,first ya don't want to go! or don't want to bud into a conversation, or bother someone. But after awhile,ya feel like you know so and so better,and sometimes become great friends! Or you may not really like someone,so you stay away,but still keep in the loop to see whats going on. When i first found Findmall,i was fascinated! Holy$heet! All these crazy people metal detect? Everywhere? Guess I'm not totally a geek,or an idiot,or the only one. I would only read Minelab,or The Beach forums,or the classified to see if there was any bargains,after all,you can't own just one detector,you need 3 or 4 ! 
I kept seeing the "Royal's Tale's"? What the hell is that? After reading about everyone's daily finds,or how to set up your machine a million times,ya git bored abit! So finally a few yrs ago,i visited Royals Tales! I was an absentee visitor for quite awhile. Never posted,UNTIL, i felt i kinda got to know some of the regulars,posting the storeys. I wanted to post,but felt who wants to read my stories? I never hunted deer,or lived on a ranch,never kayaked,or canoed.Never visited out West, was never in the Service. Never figured anyone would be interested in how my Father was Lobstering,or how it was done, or growing up on a river, or boating to near by islands. Who else cared about seeing dying Fishing fleets in Gloucester,or Provincetown? or how i got a kidney stone,and thought i was dying? 
(i can laugh now,but wasn't then) Who cared about seeing a million cars i have owned or car shows i attended for years? Who cares about seeing different vessels,or just reading funny experience's we have growing up? Raising kids,or what type of career you have,or had? WELL, the answer is HERE! ROYALS "FAMILY" !! Like quite a few others,i can't wait to view new posts,sure it slows down now and then. In the A.M, I'm expecting to see if any one started any "trouble" the night before,and may have been sent to their room! 
or if a great hunting tale, with a great guide,up North,has been posted, or if any Roosters got shot,down South, I want to see if any lucky person,has visited the friendly guy and his lovely wife up in the Northern Canadian country, or if i can go herding a stray calve,or escape from a snake bite,on a Ranch. May see a clown in his speedo? 
View a Model! Or can i take a kayak ride,down a river,or parachute off a plateau! Even a visit to a Saltmine! I personally,enjoy posting for Royals Family,and any visitors that wish to view it. Most are personal experiences growing up,or just places i went snooping around. if you respond, fine,i appreciate all. If you don't? I like others here,would really like to meet more of you personally. As you know, Vt Dave and i have met,and we felt like we knew each other,right of the bat! Others have met,and it seems to be the same way. This place is more than reading Tales,but is also to meet friends, tell a joke,or even razz someone abit. So please,do not feel discouraged! Keep the laughs/personal experiences/TALES etc. alive! Some find it hard to write a story...Its easy..Think of a subject,or experience,and start writing....it WILL turn into an interesting story to share! Lets not read anymore about lack of posters...there will be newbies in the future. Come on Royal!

Sorry if offended anyone! I'll keep the Water Pistol ready though,just in case.... From what i see,i mean read here,you are quite a guy,and can enlighten any social gathering. I'd split bread with you anytime!
