Pro Staff ?

February 5, 2009 at 3:59 pm #744889
The pro staff positions are still here.
February 5, 2009 at 4:00 pm #744890Heck no. We just added two new Pro Staffers to our Ice Team… Joel Nelson and Chris Granrud. But as to the overall size of our pro staff… we keep it VERY small unlike other sites where anyone with a fishing pole is “pro staff.”
I think we’re at the same number of staffers this winter as we were last winter at this same time although I will say I don’t think we’ve ever had a better mix of staff with regards to talent and communication skills.
February 5, 2009 at 4:00 pm #744891Why do yo ask?
If you look after the names of the people posting fishing reports. You will still see Field Staff and Pro Staff under their names.
February 5, 2009 at 4:00 pm #744892Phew….my title is still the same. At least that’s what it says over my little picture over there on the left.
What are you driving at Castaway?
February 5, 2009 at 4:18 pm #744896Not driving at anything just asking a question.Just noticed lately when I pull up the people on line list there isnt any pro staff guys listed or maybe they dont show up on there anymore.Just seems to be a lot less these days.Hey you can always blame it on the economy

I know a lot of staff that hide or chose to not be visable while being online here at IDO.
Each has there own reasonsRon
February 5, 2009 at 4:26 pm #744901I’m tired of all the rocks being thrown at me.

Many, including me, have their accounts set to “invisible.” Some do it to stay out of trouble at work. Others, like me, want to hide the amount of time I spend here on the site. I don’t have a life outside of IDO. But people don’t need to know that.
As for numbers of “pro” staff… I didn’t go any count but I bet we have right around a dozen pro staff guys and 50+ field staff / field reporters.

I thought this might be the case but just figured I would ask.Besides that I have been trying to eliminate friends this week and so far it has been going pretty well

February 5, 2009 at 5:35 pm #744947Some of us are proud to be “Amateur Staff”

Potential staff members are recruited by IDO. Many have come from the ranks of those heavily involved with the site before being offered a pro staff position while others “off-site” were identified as having a skill set that would improve our organization.
February 5, 2009 at 5:43 pm #744952On May 17, I’ll have been waiting for 8 years. I’m sure my invite was just lost in the mail. Please send again when you get time.
Can you believe it, 8 years….

waterfowler, as I was into the sport prior to moving to a state with no ducks and geese and fewer opportunities to hunt them.

Yea hunting ducks and geese in Minnesota is much like trying to find a date in the Dakotas
8 years but you only have 9000 posts
February 5, 2009 at 9:32 pm #745036That’s a 1000 a year using Blaine math.
February 5, 2009 at 9:35 pm #745038Im averaging about 250-300 a year but they say there isnt much of value in my posts
I always say you get what you pay for February 5, 2009 at 9:48 pm #745045I have lots of fishing poles, and they still haven’t asked me.
Another question. Why is it we can put in our 2 cents worth and only get a penny for our thoughts ?

Perceived value vs real value.
February 5, 2009 at 11:12 pm #745099To me it does not matter what is presented by your name but what you have to present to others. I consider everyone a pro when they can answer a question for someone. Way to go guys.
