I love forums always something to complain about. 90% of threads are just gents searching for confirmation bias. All forums are like this. It’s not unique to this forum.
What happened to M118LR?Gun boards tend to attract tards... guys who simply regurgitate what their friend's dad's brother from Viet Nam told them or what they read somewhere on the internet.
Some old timers simply have been left behind by technology and they too post stupid stuff.
Lots of people simply lack extensive training, education, experience, and knowledge to personally back up their opinions which should be based solidly on first-hand observations and actual experience, not just rumor or speculation.
As a result, folks with legitimate credentials and experience tend to get tired of the back and forth and just move on.
With that said, this place isn't that bad really... some good hearted folks on here that are eager to share info and remain open minded. In the end, it really is just a local gun board no different than a collection of guys you would run into at the range for the most part. Not a wealth of real-world in-depth experience since we lost M118LR.
You talking about Carlos hatchcock?Man, my friends dads brother who was a ‘Nam vet told me he was the first guy on his block to get a confirmed kill at 1,000 yard with a frozen hypersonic ice round of .50 bmg, at a bad guy….you mean maybe he was really pulling my leg…?
Since I placed him on ignore on his first or second day here, I didn't know he was gone...is he?What happened to M118LR?
What happened to M118LR?
a sudden and very quiet exit from the board was the result.
This^^^ I miss when the For Sale section wasn't filled with MSRP prices with 2K+ rounds through it.In other news, the bumping will likely continue until pricing improves.
We complain that we want more discussion.... And yet when somebody decides to discuss Something( Some whose imagination is stronger than her memory.) They are pounced on and Ridicule. Sometime it may be an outlandish claim or possibly simply their grammar does not match your educational level. Just remember every time you make a negative comment about a post You are potentially preventing a Another member From being Involved simply because they don't want to deal with your negativity.
? - I see nothing deleted here...I guess my message got removed
I'm not going to flag someone's active for sale ad(everyone values their property differently) but there's stuff like a shotgun with 500+ rounds through it, original parts no accessories, and they want $27 more than MSRP for it.Yeah I really wish guys would sell their gear for 10% of what they bought it for. You know for the brotherhood.
Flag those for us when you see them.And I know the mods try their best, but if people left what they were asking on an item without deleting the price like the rules state, it would help be a gauge of what they go for. Alot of people will delete every bit of the ad and just leave "SOLD"
as in the "report" button?Flag those for us when you see them.
yes sir.as in the "report" button?
This forum is top tier: the people, the community, and the forum in general is great. This is my 7th year on the forum and when the military makes me move, GCGF will be a massive absence for me, I'm sure my wallet will be happy though... of the places I have been tossed around this forum is my favorite.I think we, as serious enthusiasts should call out the BS and the outlandish claims because a board is only as enriched and valid as the credibility of it's content.
Lots of folks "pass by" looking for info, and if info goes unchecked or challenged, under the right set of circumstances, then that bad info gets passed on.
If this place were a zoo... I'd just sign off and not return, which is what I've done with two other similar boards located in Florida.
