None of my business.
For the sake of new folks ...
Yes Rich owns the TFL and is Publisher of SWAT.
When Rich closed TFL for a bit, to focus his effort and attention so he , Denny, and others could get SWAT up and running, Rich Challenged TFL members to go forth and do better than the bar raised by TFL for all Forums that Promoted Responsible Firearm Ownership.
Many sites were started, one of which is THR, Oleg, stepped up to the challenge, Derek stepped up and did the server, many folks from TFL became Staff and moderators, many still perform duties not only on THR, TFL , but other Forums as well.
This site, APS, was born from the Roundtable Forum at THR. Concerns of not promoting the Goals of THR, resulted in Oleg, and others to pay out of their pocket , to provide a place for folks whom are like minded to discuss those subjects not condusive to the Goals of THR.
Rules of Conduct for THR came from TFL, many other sites also use TFL as an example. Clearly stated, respective forums are run by Rich/ Oleg, if you want to be a guest, abide by the guest rules. IF not, you are welcome to establish your own site.
Forum Etiquettes- if you will, suggest one is to PM/ Email The Staff member if one has a question about any actions. It is also not proper form to discuss other sites way of doing things.
As Prefaced, none of my business, just information to those new to forums is all.
Yes we have Moderators here on APS that are in fact Staff/ Mods on THR, TFL or both. Elsewhere as well.
Regards,
Steve
