I just got, this as many here may have but I thought I would post it for clarity. It may have already been posted, but I don't remember seeing it like this.
WE WANT TO WELCOME THE VISITORS OF RODBUILDING.ORG to the NFC Family!
Dear Rod Builders,
We are pleased to announce that Rodbuilding.org is now a part of Composite Ventures, the parent company of North Fork Composites / Edge Rods.
If you are not familiar with NFC, we are a USA Factory specializing in performance fishing rod blanks and carbon fiber grips, founded by Gary Loomis a long time rod builder and industry pioneer.
We love rod building - and we love the rod building community. We wanted to make sure that the work that went into rodbuilding.org by builders that are still active on the forum, and those that are no longer with us, persists into the future.
As a rod builder, this forum was my first resource, and the knowledge contained within the forum is invaluable to me - I believe that this is the same for every reader/commenter/researcher/contributor on this forum. The industry owes Tom Kirkman a great deal of gratitude for starting, growing, developing this community - and we are humbled and excited to take this torch forward.
The forum will not change, we are looking at making picture posting a little easier, and the forum easier accessible from a mobile phone/tablet (though a phone app) and will have the topics that are posted on the forum, cross-posted to the app, and vice versa. We are not going to use ads on the forum, there is already an awesome list of sponsors which will continue to grow.
Tom Kirkman will remain a moderator on the forum, and we are adding a few more to help get new users registered.
This forum is a wonderful resource, and our goal is to continue to support and grow this community - the rod builders here make it unique and special - Thank you for being a part of it.
Celebrate with us! Spring is almost here so enjoy a special spring sale and build away those blues!
Aleks Maslov | CEO / Co-Owner | Composite Ventures LLC | dba: North Fork Composites / Edge Rods |
