As many of you “early birds” know, when Gene and I originally built this forum, it was built with the intent of “Of the members, for the members” and all of us were dedicated to making it a forum better than any other forum out there. Our motto is
“Ain’t this a great place to be”. It’s funny but I don’t see that motto published like it used to be. Have we forgotten??? I think that we have met with a great deal of success in striving to meet that goal and we continue to grow rapidly. And we still maintain that this is your forum not Gene’s, Peak Chicks or mine. We just administrate it. But it is your forum and we thank you.
However, with that said, I have received a few e-mails the last few weeks regarding the forum. As we all know, the forum has grown quite rapidly. With growth comes issues and that is to be expected and unless controlled, it can easily get out of hand. We don’t have a serious problem… well maybe one… but I feel that we need to address them early so that we maintain the integrity that we have enjoyed in the past.
To those of you that have not reviewed the rules and regulations for the GTA, I suggest that you read them.
Please be careful with your language and in some cases, phraseology. Most of us do not like derogatory terms. We’re not in church but we’re not in the corner bar either.
It seems that many people are posting anything anywhere that they happen to be. It is important that our posts are placed in the category in which it fits or applies to. Then other people can both view it in it proper area and also find it later in a search process. If you have a general discussion item, go to the “Back Room” or a Gamo post, place them in the “Gamo” forum and so on. The “Airgun” forum is a category for all guns and related item for posts that have no category and airgun info in general. Let’s not clutter it up with a bunch of stuff that is not relevant. So Please…. Do your part to make the forum as easy to navigate as possible
We used to take the time to shuffle posts around and place them in their proper forums but it does take time and we shouldn’t need to if you do your part.
And finally,,, in the past, it has been the policy of Gene and myself to not delete any posts and never have but rather move them to the “Non-Productive” file. However….. as of today and from this point on… any reference to MuzzleBrakes, whether the word MuzzleBrake is used or any other terminology regarding them and including construction or parts will be deleted in it’s entirety by either Peak Chick or myself along with any post responses. If that is something that you want to discuss with someone then do it outside of this forum via e-mail or what ever source you choose. Just not here. Now I’m sure there will be a couple that are going to jump up and down and cry foul or freedom of speech or whatever but if you don’t like it, I’m sorry and if that bothers you and you can’t or don’t want accept it then you can move on and go somewhere else.
OK… now you can burn my house down…lol…
