Default Very impressed with forum leadership!

With all that's been going on lately, I'm grateful to our leadership for allowing mature topic discussion and comments. There were times in the past that that would not be allowed, or worse. So, thanks - hope that we can continue to be informed, vent, and discuss like adults ! Thanks again.

I completely agree with s&wchad! Please stay safe and well, without our members there would be no forum.

I've noticed a few viral threads that got shut down when they started going off the rails. That's a good thing. Thx

I have it on good authority that the mods have had to hire dump trucks to haul away all the deleted posts.

Default This is true......

On another forum people are lashing out at others on the forum just because they are there. Even if you are sympathetic to their cause I've gotten some very unfair epithets thrown in my direction.

I’m sure Lee is giving them an “essential worker bonus” for all their hard work.

I think the Staff here on the forums do a remarkable job on keeping things running smoothly. Especially lately, dealing with all the Covid 19 stuff and also the riots that have been breaking out. They shut down the more divisive threads and keep us from getting too personal with our criticism of fellow members we happen to disagree with on certain topics without getting personal themselves.

And a note to the person who 1 starred this thread: in case you don't know it, they can see who voted what for thread ratings I believe.

I have it on good authority the floatie device is a commie plot designed to expose knowledge of the actual location of cached firearms. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS EXTREME EXAMPLE OF THE INVASION OF PRIVACY!

Lee runs the board and deserves the credit. If you really want to show your appreciation, send him a note. Better yet, include donation check!

Agree our moderators do a great job here. I’ve been dinged a few times for things that were my own fault and I’ve learned from it. Some of the stuff on social media, as well as other forums, has shown me how fortunate we are to have this place.
