I just looked and it still is there.. The sad thing is they will probably delete it when it would be a great time for us all to meet up and have a great day. This sport is one big family and not divided into forums.. It is to bad that those certain people on the yellow will not just let things be.. The sport and hobby of air guns is for all who shoot them. I do hope they leave it and some of them come and have a great time with us..

I just looked at the link you posted and it's gone already. They make it a point to delete anything and everything as quickly as possible before their members get a chance to read it because of fear.
It's like being in old Russia or in China or North Korea or some of the other similar countries and being behind an iron curtain run by dictators. They, deprive and prevent their citizens the freedom to read or hear anything that they are afraid of. It's a cowardly act of course and done out of panic and fright and fear that some their members may want to come to the GTA and share here also and/or once here, they may not go back just like any other dictatorship. They handle it just like Stalin did and then the later Russian governments. It's stupid of course but then.... But if history repeats itself, and it usually does, it will fall eventually and then will be revived and will be a far better place.
I just wish I would have taken the YP's over when James asked me to several times in the months prior to his passing and later when Wand Kitchings asked me to and long before the present owner even came into the picture. It sure would be different than it is today. It would be run the way James would have wanted it run. And I'm also sure he would be proud of the GTA, it's membership and how it is run. In fact, back then James suggested to me that I should maybe start another forum and that it would benefit both he and I. To bad some others don't have the wisdom that James had.
James and I went back a long way and was the most influential person back then to get me into the tuning business and got me started in it. I kinda feel like I failed him now after all he did for me. If it wasn't for James, I probably wouldn't even still be here.
Something that someone else had mentioned to me. He stated that the back room or whatever it is called is about one step from a porn site and a pretty nasty place. Ain't been there so don't know. Any of you been there??? It ain't gonna happen here.

caught the post with Gene's response just before it was deleted, then 5 minutes later it was gone. I emailed Chuck Haley, the poster, about the dirty deed, and he and I threw a few like comments back and forth. Forwarded it to Gene, So If you want to know how it went, mayube Gene can forward it to you. Can't wait to see S-in-CT's response to what Chuck replied.Bet it's "LIFETIME BANNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He really wants to make the SC shoot and IMHO will make a great addition to the group! Sounds like a GTA kind of guy! Wish I could go; sounds like the "candy store" to me, too!
CDT, Hopes for great succes with the re-introduction of your parts!

I got it this morning Ric. I read through the yellows rules again after what happened and I am astonished at how two faced the people who run that forum are. It is for certain they do not follow there own rules and twist them to suite themselves.. And Chuck is right about how childish they are.
Here are there Forum Rules: It is apparent that the James Kitching's forums present forum owner is far from the original idea of what it was originally based on. I have highlighted most of the rules that are constantly being abused on a daily bases.
Gene
1.Differences of opinion must stay civilized, no name calling.
2.Off Topic subjects to be discussed here, not on main forum http://www.network54.com/Forum/417256
3.For One on One confrontation please use e-mail
4.Don't complain about the way the forum is run.
5."For sale" items go on the classifieds. No exceptions
6.Do not Troll.
7.Instigating with the purpose of drawing people into highly argumentative situations and wasting of bandwidth is a cause for deletion and/or banning.
8.DO NOT reply to trolls. THIS IS A MUST.
9.No Personal attacks, racial slurs, foul language or insults and no offensive pictures.
10.No unauthorized dealer promotions.
11. LDC and moderator discussion can NOT be addressed on this forums, PERIOD. Such discussions on legality, how to, buy from etc is NOT welcome here.
12. Anything posted of illegal or unethical nature will be deleted. Tasteful Hunting pictures are welcome when accompanied by the hunting or pest eliminating story. "Tasteful" will be interpreted by the administrator or anyone of the moderators.
All rules are interpreted and invoked by the Forum owner and moderators and are final.
In closing, we believe that the forum should operate in the spirit of its Founder, the Late James Kitching. We will preserve its freedom of expression and openess in the hope that we will sustain the camaraderie that is prevalent amongst our members. This is the only way Airgun ideas and innovations could thrive.
Thank you The Administration

Yep... and the last one is the killer. James would roll over in his grave if he knew what Steve has done to it and how it is now run. Long live James.
