19,703 posts
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.

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 agree with you, Dutch.Deadwood Dutch wrote:... and, no politics, which I certainty do not miss.
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!

Re: 19,703 posts
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.

Re: 19,703 posts
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.

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?White Squirrel wrote: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.
