Forum going away?
« on: May 22, 2007, 02:52:21 AM »
I don't really post on this board much, i mostly lurk...

but... would like to avoid getting booted off it. What's the deal? Were there a bunch of flamefests?

I post on THR but keep an account here in case there's non gun stuff i want to discuss with gunnies.


AAANyways... if it goes away i guess i'll find somewheres else.

Probably not any time soon.

As soon as one of the mods checks in you will get the "friend" moniker and be allowed in the "Amongst Friends" section of APS.

Click on Main Forums and you should see that there are two rooms here.

Ditto here.  undecided  Though a lot of my posts are merely attempts to make a witty stab at a serious situation, the rest are truly meant to learn from everyone else.

Hate to think I'd be downsized.  sad 

And I've (except for this once) never, ever posted +1.

Dionysusigma, the Roundtable may be disappearing but not the forum. We (you also) have access to the "Amongst Friends" forum that isn't going anywhere.

If you go to the main page there are two rooms here, one is wide open (Roundtable), one has people with a posting history and/or have been cleared as not being a troll (Amongst friends).

OK, folks.

NO decision has been made around Round Table as far as I know.

There has been some discussion about it.

Personally I don't think it's wise to eliminate it, but that's just me. I can't speak for Oleg. I can only speak to him.


As for being invited to join the "behind the scenes" section of the board, that comes with time and with POSTS.

The moderators (well, me at least) like to get a feel for who someone is before we toss open the doors.

Sometimes a moderator is already watching someone new and gives posting privs of his/her own accord. Other times it requires the new person to be "nominated."

Probably not the best system in the world, but it's worked so far.
