I think the main problem with the Fish/hunt was that really it was the only game in town and run as a dictatorship( and not a benign one either ! ). Their tone is more moderate now being as people have a choice where to air opinions and as a consequence is less confrontational, and this forum is working well because we've seen what can happen elsewhere.
Just my 2c worth :)
No dictators here :thumbsup:
This post was turned evil by a dictator:D
Plenty of dictators here, they just have a sense of humor.
WTF !!!!!!!!! shit, wrong again. . . . . :oh noes: . . . .Quote:

Agreed why try to ping people for anything and everything they can even when it is something so minute and trivial it only lowers the moral of the place, hell you even get pinged for linking TM listings in posts over there now days what next?.Quote:

But everything goes in cycles.
I frequent both, but my posting has dropped off quite a bit. Been too busy to get out and shoot lately so not much to contribute. I will often have a forum open up in the background and when there is a break in the mayhem I'll do a wee bit of reading. Being a beginner there is so much to learn and I'll sponge the knowledge from everywhere; one of my favourite sayings, "You learn something every day. The day you don't learn anything someone digs a big hole and they bury you in it."
I agree with you Tussock there is no point holding grudges. Better to move on and get over whatever.
i just joined this site. im liking it better i got sick of the rubbish and nasty comments when you post something on the other site

I had my heels together, stomach in, chest out, shoulders back and down as I was typing R93. I may be old but I still remember what to do in the presence of an officer.Quote:

Welcome to the team, Major!
If you still walk around swinging your arms at breast pocket height, I would be worried.
In the presence of an officer I wont be standing at attention, I'll most likley be trying to talk my way out of a ticket.

1080 this, WARO that, Helihunting here, blah blah blah. Seems there are a lot of people with chips on there shoulders over there... even the layout of the forum is dull and depressing. This one is much more pleasant and relaxed it seems. Plus i like the technical info on long range shooting and the science behind shooting on this forum.
The more you criticize and bitch, the more you are being like what or who you criticize and bitch about.
Very zen.
I don't have an account over there but have been linked to a few FS threads. I don't really like the layout. This place is easy on the eyes :)
This forum is the best because I post here. This applies to all other forums that I post on.
its the truth or gimp will choke you out!Quote:
