Henry Rifle Forums

This forum hasn't been around but about six months and already we are over 19 thousand posts. The old forum had about the same when it went down but it took several years to reach that total. Seems like we are doing good.

Nice to hear. Keep up the good work.

We are doing well -- as well as lots of good! Kudos to you and Dave.

It doesn't surprise me at all! It's a great Forum, with lots of very knowledgeable members, so I'm sure it will continue to grow in popularity. I for one am very glad to have found it!

Good job.

Interesting, informative, educational and fun. Nice people. And no politics, which I certainty do not miss. There are other forums to frequent should I choose to try to understand my least favorite subject.

I sometimes miss the politics but not much.

I agree with you, Dutch.

I'm so glad this forum refrains from political and religious topics! A few years ago, as a novice shooter and aspiring hunter, I joined a local CT forum that I thought would offer helpful advice and instruction. And, though it did do that, I nonetheless had to leave it because of the superfluous, overwhelming, and vitriolic political posts that seemed way too menacing and that were deeply troubling to both my mind and spirit.

This forum is a breath of fresh air.

Breath deep!

It is a pleasant site and one doesn't need to fear of asking questions and being put down. On some sites God forbid you ask something that had been discussed six months or a year earlier. Instead of a five word answer or advise you get two paragraphs on searching the topic. This forum is friendly, supportive and respectful of others. Thanks for all the hard work behind the scenes.

Just the way we want it. A friendly place to talk about Henry Repeating Arms ..... and just about anything else!

I also notice we are rapidly closing in on 400 members. Maybe we should have a contest to have members predict when we will hit 500.

Happy to be a part of it!

I enjoy being here! Our members are both knowledgeable and supportive!

A few others have made the point about the lack of political conversation and I completely agree it is the best way to moderate the forum. Thanks!

I was think sort of the same thing. How about guessing the number of members by midnight, December 31st?

I know we can't talk politics, but you guys sure do run a fun election...very entertaining.

You just said that to gain another post count trying to catch up with me.

Haha. Actually I can't say too much, we have our very own government gong show up here.

Ranch Roper and Sir Henry have made almost 20% of all the posts here.

Thanks Fella's!

Hmmmm...I must like it here.
