Bruce, this was a very interesting question. It is hard to believe that the PB forum is only 4 years old.

It was fun looking back on the growth of this forum. I'm curious about what changes others think will happen in the next 4 years. This is open to anything from the forum itself to fisheries management to anything else. I'll start with these guesses.

Someone will try to start a competing magazine or forum. There are always people out there that think everything is easy money and they want part of it.

In 4 years time, we will have figured out how to successfully raise crappie in small ponds. There is just too much interest for someone to not figure it out.

In 4 years, we will have many more state small pond fisheries biologists visiting this forum. This forum will lead rather than follow professional small pond fisheries.
