Wow, a prediction from March 03, 2005 that APS would die out? Uhm, Guess we can call that one a miss.
Personally, I avoid THR like the plague. I used to post over there, I donated cash and computer equipment. My sole hope is that the THR mods and their way of doing things stays over at THR. Call me strange, but I like the vibe over here at APS better. Seems like the people are generally more polite, less internal warfare, and I like the variety of posts even if not all of them are directly RKBA related. Fostering a community of pro RKBA folks, in my opinion, seems to have worked out better than the more ... regimented THR.
To each their own.
