OH my goodness. Our hats just grew 4 sizes. Thank you shortysboy.

Seriously now.
Yes it is a lot of reading. I confess that in the beginning I had the time to help new shooters learn about arms, range time, gear & carry. One of the mods did the math a few weeks ago. During the day & evening we have to read & if necessary deal w/ a post a minute. At most there are 3 of us on the board at a time.

Thank you for the compliment.

Oh dear! I've been here 9 months almost exactly to the day. Am I in trouble again?

I dont think I took your name yesterday Joe. I turned the list in to charles last night tho so cant remember for sure.

Thank you sir.

A thank you for your participation gents.
A few thoughts from me personally & not necessarily the position of Charles or any other Mod.
Charles started CHL forum in Dec of 04.
At the start MOST new folks came through invitation. That is the way all of them get started. Folks generally have friends & invite folks to come visit that are of the same oppinions, mind set, & temperment as themselves. gigag04 above is correct.
I came along in June & found it somehow. I dont even remember how. I am sure I was one of the 1st to just find texas chl forum instead of being invited.
In 5yrs & 2mo we have grown to 6347 mbrs at present.
August 24, 008, 6 new members joined. That made our total 3452. In that 18 months this board has basically doubled. I dont believe there is another firearms board in the nation that has seen that kind of growth. There sure is not a state board that can make that clain.
No doubt in my mind & heart that the reason for the growth & the overall quality of character of our members is due to the high standards we set & I promice you, will maintain.
With that kind of growth we cannot help but get a few s who know it all after turning X# of youthful yrs & have their plastic for 4 months now. gun on my hip so need to change the world for the better, & when can I shoot, aaa to help the neighbor or lovely damsel in distress........
We still have far fewer than othere boards. Difference is! that behavior is acceptable on other boards. I will not go look up this stat but there is no doubt in my mind we have had to discipline more in the last 9 months than in the previous 4.5yrs.
Yes right now we do have a few that are pushing the limits to see how far they can go. No doubt in the future we will have a few more. Still far fewer than any other boards on the web & it is the good & GREAT character of 99% of our members that make that a verifiable truth.

A BIG Texas CHL forum thank you to all the 99% & we will continut to encourage the 1% to mature.
No place I would rather be for an hour or so just before bed time & you folks make it a pleasure to work for you.
