UNREAL. That's a first that I've ever seen on any kind of talk forums. (At least that I've ever visited.)
But it doesn't surprise me from what I have heard about the management booting scores of people out of there for criticizing products or services. I myself was a bit taken aback when I read the introduction by the management warning me and other subscribers that it was an adult web site, and if I couldn't handle the content then I can GO FU*K OFF! This is very crude and unprofessional. I don't know who the owners are, but from the image I am getting, I don't like them. They are simply driving subscribers to better run websites like AR15 |

Nothing worth going there anymore for except to see JOEKEN's latest screwup.
|
|
hahahahahahaha they are running themselves into the ground head first and people still follow them. I bet if dthor stuck a roman candle up his ass and jumped off a cliff he would have a shit load of .nutz members follow him.
I really like this quote "Just erase what you learned on this board and think, wow, my AKs would really suck right about now if it wasnt for gunsnet/ak-47.net" Hmmm i wonder what the people who sent money to Joeken and guns to the goosh learned about ak's. |
|
Gunsnet Sucks!! I just tried to open a PM someone sent me and it said I have to pay $20. This is the first I've heard about this mandatory membership. I don't mind supporting a site (like this one) if I frequent it alot but for a site to just cut you off of almost all privilages without telling you is a BS way to run it.

I know everything started to go down the toilet a while back over there, when the mass exodus occured, but even since I started surfing these forums a few months ago Goonsnet has really took a turn. Site staff and moderators harrassing people all over the place. Erasing posts, lol, let me go grab one and post it here I find it halarious.

I had a post in the Bulgarian & Hungarian forum deleted because I said that the SA M-7 was one of the best AKs available and posted a link to Arsenal Inc's website.
|

bwahahaha! cleis, i applaud your integrity!
everyone knows arsenal inc. and k-var are good folks with good products. only a thief or extortionist would say otherwise. |

Looks like Joekens about to get the boot there for stiffing one of the moderators(Diesel).

Between Jerkins and Dthor, they are ripping off and fleecing the membership over there like there is no tomorrow.
I can't believe the story behind the group mag purchase that happened a few weeks ago. Dthor organized the scam and made some nice cash from overpricing the magazines when he sold them to the membership. I have it on good authority there's at least three moderators over there that are absolutely pissed off at the latest stunt he has pulled, and they are ready to resign and tell him to stick up his fat fake seal ass. At the rate he's running members off, he will never be able to scam enough money to have that piece of shit boat repaired in his driveway. I'm laughing my ass off at the picture I saw of that shitty boat. Special thanks to one of his moderators for that photo! |

Actually I remeber something about the moron's wife leaving him for another guy on the board! (Smart woman; who wants to live with a dweeb?) |
|
|
I thought that was HDR's wife that was smoking someone else's pole ?!?!?!?
Last I heard, Thornton lied about his wife having cancer and disappeared from the board. He then magically reappeared as Bowcunt. |
|
...ooops....joke'n forgot!.....Diesel is an attorney... a real one...not a bankruptcy filer! |
|
|
Someone is going to be a new cockholster over there !! We already know that Thornton gives it to HDR, but doesn't have the decency to give him a reach-around. |

This is nothing but a pathetic extortion attempt which I'm sure will go a long ways towards putting this website in the toilet. Oh, they'll be a few kneepad wearers wanting to join your circle-jerkfest but in reality what you've done is paved the way for your website's demise. Good riddance, you pompous Jackass!!!

diesel waited SIX months before bitching????
SIX freaking months????? holy shit! i've got tons of stuff i want to 'sell' to people as patient as him~! who, in their right mind would NOT have driven to arizona and put a boot up their fat asses? SIX months???!!!???!!! |

If there is one thing I absolutely can't stand its con artists. As far artists go, these guys seem to be painting by numbers.

So if he has issues with pics on their server, which also show up on other sites, fine. But claiming that killing 'search' to avoid dupe posts will save bandwidth???!!!?? Acting like PMs and Sig lines really move the bandwidth needle???!!!??
Less credible than Kerry. |

The ship is taking in water and the fools are about to follow their captain to the bottom. I wonder what the next scheme will be to keep the ship afloat?

I just goes from worse to worse over there.
Once they start charging for browsing the classifieds i will go out in a blaze of glory. Already killed the IMs' Infantry, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system? If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation. You need to Upgrade your Membership Membership Upgrade Center |
|
Here's my e-mail to them tonight:
Please remove me from your membership roster, ban me or whatever it is that will keep me from continuing to be a member of your site in the future. I think your "changes" to the site are unreasonable and came out of the blue. Your request for Memebership by taking away priveleges amounts to extortion, that I refuse to be a part of. I will not return to this site, and I will tell others not to visit this site due to the "new rules." Instead of increasing your membership, I feel you will reduce it with these strongarm tactics. good ridance and goodbye archer2 |

I'll sum it up in 2 words. I have been a member of gunsnet longer than i have here and I have 16 posts there and over 400 here, that should tell you something.
oh and im a paying member here too well make that 35 words |

Stopped over there to take a peek tonight - that place is definitely going down the crapper in flames.

Oh my! Dillusions of grandeur. |

having no search at all is like sitting down to take a shit in a public restroom...and glancing over at the toilet paper roll which is surrounded by armor and has a coin slot next to it :)

Well, I'll tell ya. I've been a member there a good long while, 4+ years. But this latest thing is just BS. It's like paying for pussy. Why pay when there is plenty for free.

Well, it didn't take Dick InHale very long to delete that account. Geez, was it something I said?? His loss really. Hell, I was just about to fax this $20 over to him: hug.gif http://www.freepichosting.com/Thumbs/421563289/6/600/402.jpg

Man, some of those guys are hitting the Kool Aid real hard and/or they have well worn kneepads. Wow, they will be soon adding a spell checker. I wonder if it will crash the first time the "extortionist" tries to use it.

A spell checker over there would consume ALL the bandwidth when those pole smokers post!!

They turned the private messages and search features back on for everyone. I'm sure it was to stop people from leaving. Last night the total number of people viewing that site was 290 when I left. I had NEVER seen it go that low in the several months I was there. They had a choice, lose half our membership? Or turn back on some BASIC features for free that are commonplace on message boards.

I think the damage is already done over there. I usually go there, then here. As a fairly new user here, I have found quite a bit more here. I don't think I will be going there much, if at all, anymore. Everything I could do there, I can do better here.
