I'm new just wondering why some post disappear
Good question.
We usually don't do many post deletions in threads unless they specifically break Forum Rules. However, this thread is a bit unique because of it's extraordinary high traffic and viewing. The purpose is to reduce the number of totally unrelated postings so people can more easily find what this thread is about---> In stock .22LR ammo
For example: Your post was deleted because it was about a gun that you bought -- ISSC MKII. Had nothing to do at all with the topic here. No big deal, but if I had left it up someone would have replied-- Hey I got one too, how do you like yours?. Then someone else would have posted -- Great trainer for the 16S. Then someone else would have posted -- I like ARs better, they are lighter and far less expensive...on and on. Pretty soon we no longer have an avaliable ammo thread but rather a collection of unrelated topics.
Quite often we delete postings because they are argumentative and lead to bickering. Postings get deleted that are just moaning and groaning about prices, gouging, hoarding and all the rest. See post #2770
After I get done here I'll be deleting a bunch of chit-chatting about some old chain store named Gibsons and others posts that haven't anything to do with the topic here.
Pretty simple really--- Before you submit a post, ask yourself if it is at least somewhat pertaining to the topic here and/or helping folks find ammo. If not, don't press the Submit Reply button. This is a great Forum, and if you'd like to discuss something that doesn't fit in any of the S&W Forum sections, we have The Lounge for general discussion too.
No need for reply.
See how quickly unrelated topic chatter grows.... There's over 500 people this very minute reading this section of the Forum. No need for everyone to wade through all this.
I remember Gibsons. Big 5 stores are smaller (dimension)
Texas box store/sporting good chain in the 60s and 70s.
Whoa!!! That takes me back![]()
Yeah I'm not too young at 37 but I've never heard of Gibsons
I'm in Colorado.... I don't remember Gibsons... at this point in my life, I'll take being called young as a good thing.![]()
Did they take the place of Gibsons, or are you too young to remember them?![]()
I thought that chain was bigger, cause here in California we have em all over the place
Big 5 is a sporting goods chain in Texas and the western US.
I bet Big 5 management would be interested to know their staff is lining their pockets at the expense of the customer.
What is a big 5 and where is this?
I went to a local big 5 and they were dry but the store manager was telling me how his co-worker has about 15,000 rounds of 22 and that helped fund his Vegas trip, how funny..... A bunch of these guys are buying everything before it even hits the shelves, that's ridiculous
