MaDuce Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 The admin probably isn't going to like this much, but I am really hoping this board stays around the same size it currently is. We've got some really great members here and that's becoming hard to find. It seams that just about every forum that gets real big does so by filling up with creeps and responds by taking on moderators who are no better. We on the other hand seam to have our own little cozy sanctuary here. You folks are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 From the short time I've been here I have seem the dipshits weed themselves out with little help from anyone else, and there has not been many.The new members coming in continue to be very solid individuals,and the Veterans are gold it continues to be an honor and a privledge to be in all of your company.God bless everyone here and you'r families. <thumbsup> :sniper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yeah moderators! I agree with those brown noses up there ^^^^ <laughs>Seriously though, they are right. Once membership gets big things change a LOT.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 We've currently got a staff of ~6-7 people handling a 1k+ membership. I think we'll be alright as we expand, but you can believe that as panic over the O's reelection spreads, 308 AR ownership will rise and our membership will grow. Have some faith in Drew, he knows how to pick Moderators. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFail Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Well, some more members wouldn't hurt. It gets too slow in here a lot for me. I come to check a lot but my participation has waned lately. On the other hand a low membership might equate to B. Hussein Oblahblah Anti Gun Thugs (that is for them not us thugs) may not come here for intel on us, but probably they already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guill732 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 26 and no fish. Confirmation for Robo's Theory! The two instances above are simply minor exceptions and can be discarded from the overall data pool/tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDuce Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 26 and no fish. Confirmation for Robo's Theory! The two instances above are simply minor exceptions and can be discarded from the overall data pool/tank!Speaking in Mr. Robobot, maybe that's why everyone's on good behavior. Everyone knows that if they act up, he'll chase them down until their car flips over and will then walk up to them and kick em in the face. LOL.

Magwa Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I have alot of fish but they don't swim good when frozen in the freezer but they taste great when thawed and cooked on the BBQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I love fish... Especially when they are breaded and fried!oh i do to, catching them and eatting them and i love seafood. but i also enjoy watching them too.wash your damn right i do. ive seen more then one person that had been told by a Dr to get a fish tank becuase they suffer from seizers. One of the guys i had met on a form was desert storm vet and ended up having to retire from his branch due to how bad they were, he really got into the hobby due to not being able to really do much outside the house. there is something about fish swiming around a tank that relaxes the brain, i know there are many of nights ive sat on the couch in the basment just watching my fish swim around after a bad day.tackleberry, i feel the same way. before i found this place i was pretty burnt out on forums only belonging to a few (atv, fish, motorcycle) and only going on them when i was looking for somthing or needing some help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
