Calguns.net
« on: October 23, 2008, 04:25:35 PM »
Well it's been awhile now since we've migrated here - We were blame for a lot of things at .net - Cluttering up the site, slowing it down, tying up bandwidth are a few things. Guys were wanting to do away with this/that, ect.

I logged in this morning, there were approximately 325 unread - I've just logged back on half an hour ago - There were +250 unread.

Have the site improved with some not posting? Have the prolems been removed? I've welcome the latest additions, IE - Ladies, youth forums. How do you think those forums are doing? I've read some of the opinions and they all have their places.

Yup .net is slow. No one gives credible answers anymore. Bunch of N00bs helping N00bs. Not to say we answered all the questions, but it seems that its just slow and there are more questions than answers on the board. Oh well. Most of us are using the .org or the chat, no time for silly questions.

When I first went on there, I used the search button to find all my answers. Now they do not and just post. The same questions come up over and over. Some 3-4 times a week.

I've been noticing that as well.  When someone, perhaps tersely, informs them that there is a 'search' button, someone else comes along with a reprimand to not  discourage the newbie.   

I don't want to discourage questions from the new guys, but it gets annoying seeing the same topics several times a week.  The point is that there's a ton of information if they would just search.

I check out .net for sales and info

I don't have as much knowledge to share as most of those guys...  And heaven forbid your wrong, you get accused of being a DOJ plant.

While .net does have a lot info, and its main purpose is to share that info, there are some elitist and outright jerks that hang out there.  They act like it is beneath them to help a newbie.  If they act like that, or honestly feel like that, then why even bother.

you'll end up in jail or on a killing spree.  Why would you want one of those.  All you need is a .22 or a shotgun.
