    Introduction

    Hi all
    As a relatively new member I am fascinated by some of the existing ones prattling on about introducing oneself before posting.
    You are not my friends and i cannot see myself actively engaging with most of you.
    Its a bit like an old boys club or in this case an old wifes club.

    I think it’s more about introducing yourself before trying to sell something, rather than posting something general.
    There have been a lot of people who’s first post is a for sale post, they normally get jumped on about an introduction.

    This is a community - an online community. As such many people do make friends, engage in useful discussions about all sorts of topics, take the mickey at times and sometimes end up in pointless arguments.

    But it is a community whether it suits you it not. As a group firearms users have had a tough time of recently. This is a (mostly) useful outlet and place for connecting like-minded individuals.

    If that doesn't work for you and you are only interested in the deals forum (community) members post for the benefit of others, then you can expect to be treated with suspicion or given a hard time.

    If this doesn't suit you or offends your sensibilities then you are free not to engage and use other methods of buying and selling gear.

    Thanks for the comments its always great to get feedback.
    Again like most things its only a few that seem to be the main culprits.
    Each to their own bit as i have viewed a number of less welcoming comments on here
    It may put off new members.

    With 9 posts in 16 months engagement obviously isn't your thing but who knows, there may be someone on here who is could become your friend.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
