98Z5V Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 Thanks for letting me come and play too.It's actually an honor to have you here - I'm glad you keep coming back. <thumbsup>
unforgiven Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 Ditto, brother mrraley thanks for your service <thumbsup>
mrraley Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 Actually, thank you for the recognition. But I keep coming back cause I like to help where I can. And teaching or sharing through experience is always the best way.
Rojodiablo Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 When I set out to start doing websites and forums a few years ago I had a few goals.1. No elitism2. Friendly and fun3.Gentle to newbies and no question is stupid.4.Promote the platform(s)5. Raise awareness and understanding of the variations and differences. (everything isn't an AR-10, no 308 uppers on AR-15's etc )Have we succeeded? Are we different?Not looking for praise, just honest feedback. You wont hurt my feelings.The site is nice, and definitely laid back and a nice kind of quiet place compared to many other sites I find myself on. One thing, if I might: When a person hits the board, maybe a header where you can directly pick what you are looking for; ie forums of ass't. nature (General forum, tech, DPMS, AR10, off topic, etc.)Right now, a new member will have to take a left at Albuquerque <dontknow>and then go 3 stoplights to get to the general forums here. But other-wise??? A really nice house you have here. Thanks for having me!
Guest LLArms Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 All I can say is if the flood gates ever blow open try your best to keep the same level of atmosphere.I have no doubt some of the REALLY large and popular forums out there (aka BARFCOM, m1911.org - etc etc) were once a top notch website and had a much better atmosphere. Huge membership numbers and big dollar sponsors pretty much allow the garbage can atmosphere to prosper because there is no incentive to deturret such behavior.
unforgiven Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 For the short time I've been here seems like the mods got thier head on straight,and the few that did spew were told in no uncertain terms that rude behavior IS NOT TOLERATED.But we can agree to disagree.Shoot on bros 8)
CMAN Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 I've found the site to be friendly with lots of info. Questions are answered fast with lots of detail. I've not seen any elitism. So I would say that it has been a success! Contraz!
fr3db3ar Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Personally I love it here. A lot of it is way beyond what I want to do and some of the talk just goes over my head. I came looking for 308AR info and found that plus more. Everyone has been friendly and knowledgeable.I don't have a lot to offer as I don't claim to be an expert at anything. I know just enough about a lot of things to get me in trouble with them all <laughs>Thanks for the forum guys.
392heminut Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 I've been a member in a lot of forums, shooting, muscle cars and Harleys, and this forum stands out in the quality of members and the diligence of the moderators. The only fault I can find is the acronyms! Some of them I have a devil of a time figuring out, but I guess the longer I'm here the better I'll get at it. This board is NOT as bad as brianenos.com about the acronyms though!
unforgiven Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Acronyms got me stumped also brother. <dontknow>
unforgiven Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 The letters used to describe certain makes and models. <dontknow>
fr3db3ar Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 I agree.....what does DPMS mean anyway? <dontknow> <laughs>
98Z5V Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Defense Procurement Manufacturing Services. For real... <thumbsup>
392heminut Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 I was referring to stuff like BCG (bolt carrier group) and that sort of thing used in posts because people don't want to take the time to type out the words. Like I said, I'm figuring it out as I go along but it gets kinda frustrating sometimes.
98Z5V Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Fire off any acronym questions as they appear, man - just quote it right in the thread and ask about it. Someone will jump in and answer what it is. <thumbsup>
392heminut Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Yeah, I know that, if nothing else the folks on here are more than accommodating. My issue isn't that I can't find out, it's that I feel like a dumbass having to ask! <lmao>
imschur Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Posted January 18, 2012 simply ask like this "WTF is FDE" "WTF is a BCG" "WTF is RRA" Youll be up to speed on no time <laughs>
alelks Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 WTF is WTF?JK (Just Kidding)! <thumbsup>
imschur Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Posted January 18, 2012 WTF is WTF?JK (Just Kidding)! <thumbsup> LMAO <lmao>
392heminut Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 OMG Heminut, you've hijacked the thread and turned it into an acronym thread! WTF???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Oh well, IIWII (it is what it is)! <laughs>
