imschur Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Over the past few weeks I have been reviewing my websites for various aspects of performance and return on my investment of time and money as I need to decide how to focus my personal efforts on things that are legal here in CT. Now as most of you are aware when I started this forum as well as my .22 forum I set out to be different. Forums for everyone,where ego's are checked at the door and also a reflection of my own personality as well as some like minded individuals. Anyhow today I was pondering the "success" of it all and I was really struck by the friendships that have developed between many of you. Can there be a greater success for this site? I don't think so. You guys have made this forum into something I am very proud of and I'm honored to have you as friends. Thank you...all of you.

Robocop1051 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Those that have found this site, recognize the difference immediately. Thank you for providing a venue for all of us to share and explore our favorite past time.... If not that, then thank you for helping me spend thousands of dollars on lots of toys.

gnatshooter Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I started this forum as well as my .22 forum You have a .22 forum? Where? I'd go there, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrtMA Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) I wasn't new to firearms when I took a look at this site but just new to building ARs. I still will refer to other sites for certain categories here and there, as I'm sure many do, but by and large I enjoy this website the most. It's not even close. We may have the occasional "healthy" discussion but this is the friendliest and most informed bunch of like-minded people on any (firearms related) site I've been to. I'm very happy that those responsible made the leap and have invested so much of their time in its creation and maintenance. I hope that many more of us are able to meet at a range sooner rather than later. Edited January 4, 2014 by jrtmasp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 The .22 forum has slowed a lot (to put it mildly) since the novelty of all these new .22's has died off. But much like here there is a core group albeit much smaller group of good guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Armory Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thank you Drew for providing us with this forum to discuss firearms and BS about life. I came here to solve a problem with my DPMS rifle years ago and now I am helping others. I have met several members of this site and become friends with them. You guys put up with my smart ass attitude and funny stories. This is a great group of brothers who would have my back if I needed them. Mike H.

shepp Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks drew, love it here love the people. This forum isn't your every day forum and that's what I love. I really dropped off forums for all my hobbies because of the fact you stated, no one seems to be able to check their ego, most gotta brag how big their dicks are and always be right.

392heminut Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 This is an amazing forum because of the folks here. I've seen one or two A/H's show up in the time I've been here but Tom ran them off. He's kind of like the pit bull running loose in the junkyard! <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Lol. I have been on a few forums with Tom...he definitely takes out the trash from time to time. This is the only forum I frequently visit anymore. I don't even shoot that much or build anything more 308 wise...this is just a fun place with a great bunch of regulars. I can't be certain, but I think there were around 100 member when Tom and I were building out first 308 AR's. Tom found this place and told me I had to check it out. Took me a while to get registered...I lurked for a bit. Thank you Drew, and thanks to the rest of you for making this place what it is.

Tripledeuce Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I was just thinking about this same thing! Never met a group so willing to help. Just the kind I'd like covering my six, if the poop hit the fan. Respectfully Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketch Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 What was the start date of this site? I can't keep up on the new stuff and go back for the old stuff there must be 10 years of back log knowledge !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Some of the dates got screwed up n the conversion to the new board software, but it's been around since mid to late '09. I signed up here in Feb '10, I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 My time spent on your sites have been a growing experience for me Drew. Obviously enjoyed or else no one would still be here.
