What Has Happened to the Smith and Wesson Forum?

[gym cat]

I think there are some people who wake up in the morning look in the mirror and say to themselves " today up is down and white is bllack and I'm going to an __________!!!!!

Some folks are just jerks. You can try and offer great, helpful information and someone will nitpick... whatever.
The lack of basic respect and courtesy is reflected on roadways as well.

Best not to start a thread and get grief within 2 or 3 posts.

I think many people here are just used to being in a bubble and don't respond well when others disagree, view it as a personal attack, and immediately go low road, dragging the rest of the thread with them. I've experienced it myself when I dared to disagree about the quality of a certain manufacture. The personal attacks were immediate and lowbrow.

Some of the threads started lately make me wonder if an 'ignore thread' feature would be possible...at least for the ones not related to actual collecting/shooting info and fact.

Ah well, like everywhere else it seems these days more folks simply have to put in some rabble-rousing.

I'm sure I'm showing my age with this. Long ago I was told don't say or write anything that you wouldn't want to see on the front page of the New York Times [substitute your favorite newspaper]. It's probably saved me a lot of grief.

When I look at the revolver portion of the forum the antiques, the 1896 through 1961 and even the 1961 through 1980 don't have anywhere near the participation of newbies asking newbie questions which is fine we all want them to learn and become better but I have found it's almost a waste of time to try to post anything on the 1980 to present because it lasts about 30 seconds, Which I personally believe hinders the largest group of collectors from being able to carry on serious conversation about the pre-lock guns.
I absolutely am not trying to run the forum down in any way I just think a lot of us are being lost in this shuffle, and there's proof that there's too many on the 1980 to present date forum By just the sheer number watching per group. I personally believe that it should be split up from 1980 to 2000 and then from 2000 to present date. Which I think would better serve everybody involved.

The Boss has that covered ^^^^^^^^^ but no one is abiding. It’s in the Rule for 1980 to present.

Thread 'Bashing, Crying, & Whining'

Jan 14, 2014

This 1980 to the Present forum is a place for enthusiasts of S&W revolvers of this era to enjoy discussion of those products.

If you are not fond of these revolvers and prefer the older products, we have three other forums that cover those revolvers. You are invited to discuss them there as much as you want.
If you are one of the people who constantly enters threads ONLY to spew your hatred for the internal lock, MIM parts, or whatever you dislike about modern S&W revolvers, STOP doing it.

I'm not trying to tell you what to like.
I am telling you to leave the people...
