He told me that he didn't pull it and that he had got a PM stating that the post was pulled because he was indorsing products, and also that making info like that public would not be good for anyone.... which "I" agree with, but then again I'm kinda bias .

I'm not saying I disaggree with what BD did, or does....I just thought it was interesting considering they also run fishdope, which is probably something like the "old BD" where info flows freely between anglers....u just gotta pay for it!!!! why would you give that info away when you can sell it?

Just like Gino said, Bloodydecks is a business and so is Fishdope.com. I spend more time on BWE now but I'm still a member of Bloodydecks with about 1500+ post and counting. One thing to keep in mind is that if private boaters post where the hot bites are Fishdope will lose members and BD may loose a sponsor. I've seen post on BD when boaters post info about a recent trip but they will not give details about the location. The minute that someone ask the who, what & where they will tell you to sign up with Fishdope for more details. Like I said, its a business that feeds a business.
