Re: I think the forum is dying

Longtooth, it was indeed a pleasure to meet you at the Mesquite, Tx TSRA gun show in the convention hall back in, what was it, 2011? That was the year that TSTA had their annual convention there. It was an honor to meet you, and thank you for the spiritual cassette tape you "loaned" me....Someday, I hope to return that to you.

I remember that one for sure. I was blessed w/ the work at the CHLforum table and I still have 2 0r 3 copies of the message. If you find anyone that still has a cassette tape player pass it on. I have never wanted anything back when we gave away tapes. Now we are able to do video of the worship services and that is a blessing to our shutins and others too.


joe817, I STRONGLY agree with your sentiments above. How this site has become a personal news aggregator for a select VERY FEW members to post constant news stories - that's what keeps me for checking back as often. If I could find a way to block EVERY SINGLE post initiated by one or two select members, that would improve my personal experience on this forum dramatically.
Me too.

This is NOT the Drudge Report (although this is a bad example, because Drudge has made a 180 on his stances). It is the TexasCHLForum. If I want a news aggregator, I'll visit Bongino's site. I truly wish this endless barrage of news aggregation activity here would stop and stop now.

Mods, if you have any way to influence these few people, please act decisively on it. A majority of us here would be very thankful!

I think it's forum rule #11:
Off-topic posts/threads: Since they tend to cause the most problems for other boards, our "off-topic" sub-forum is not an "anything goes" area. Absolutely no discussions of immigration/border security, abortion, race matters, or any other hot-button political issues. (Gun-related political issues can be discussed in the Gun and/or Self-Defense Related Political Issues forum.)
I was a moderator when the discussion and decision took place. I felt then the same as you. I opposed it w/ the fear this would be one of the problems.
Even so I am committed to trying to revitalize the gun works discussion and hope others will too. Any way you cut it this is still the best gun board on the internet. We can discuss gun issues w/o the cussing and don't have to worry about someone posting ugly pictures.
Lets get it back going and forget about the politicians. We do need them. They are the only thing that keeps Washington even a little at bay.
I am not smart enough to be one of them though.

I confess I have not been here unless I NEED something. That is as lame as the friend that never calls unless he wants something.
Well, I have simplified life a little so I am going to make a better effort to be a contributor again.
Longtooth, with over 12000 posts, I don't think anyone would have any business saying you didn't contribute enough :mrgreen:
Thank you but I have been off for a long time. Not regular at all. When the forum first started I was a Moderator. The 12K posts do not reflect my absence over the last 7yrs. I would be ashamed to know how little I have contributed in that time.
Thank you for your kind words.
