International Membership?

Post by ESquared » Sun Aug 19, 2018 7:02 pm

The recent thread with 220 about hunting and firearms ownership in Australia got me hunting around the site for other members from outside the U.S. Of course we have our fine friends from Canada, and I found a string of posts back and forth with Fenwalker, from the U.K., but he seems to have dropped out a couple of years ago after just 13 posts.
Which then got me wondering about Henry's international distribution. Not much about that on their website.
Anyone with any insights here? How far flung is our membership, globally-speaking? And how much is our international membership hemmed in by where Henrys are sold?
Just curious...

Dug further and partially answered my own question. Looks like Henry exports to 29 countries, according to the "Own a Henry part of their website, including Malta and New Caledonia.

Who knew?

At the bottom of our forum, you can see the flags of the countries people say they are from. I think it grows every time I look at it. That's one of the features I'm glad I added.

Thank you, Dave. I knew I'd seen the flags somewhere. Found it now. Very nice feature, you're right!

Thanks again!

If the only data field for state residency is "Location" under Memberships, I'd say it would be hard to get the number of states represented. But Dave may have it somewhere. An overwhelming number of members have never entered anything for their "Location." Then you get the "cool" locations such as these examples:

Land of fruits, nuts, and flakes
Wrong side of the mountains!
Parts Unknown
Where it snows
Old Hang Town
Land of fruits, nuts, and flakes
an old tree stump
Lake Stevens
SE
Middle America

There is nothing to let someone pick a state that I am aware of.

Maybe we should start a thread...?

Is the countries list hard coded into the forum software? Could states be added as if they were countries? Probably make a confusing mess of it, though.

Anyway, our profiles have a field for giving a finer location in addition to country flag.

I'm not that computer literate, sorry. I'm glad to see the forum still here when I sign on, plus, I don't have the time yet.

I'm happy to start a "What State Do You Live In?" thread, but don't want to create a mess. Just let me know if I can help in this regard.
