I am quite sure they are code for white supremacy BS. Why do the rest of us put up with this BS? I enjoy the site, and think 95% of the folks here are good people. But the 88 reference comes up a little more than I am comfortable with. Why is it tolerated? I believe I will start calling it out each time I see it and see what happens. Good bye if I get banned for it. There are better avenues for people to vent their hate. Why do so against fellow Americans in these trying times?

Umm, those guys get banned pretty fast. Can you post links to threads where the 88s show up?

Racist comments are not tolerated on this site. If you see one all you have to do is hit the report button. 87 is an Arfcom inside joke and has no bigotry undertones about it.

Random number to answer "HOW MANY" questions. 87 and 88 are not the same.

88s are our last problem in this country they represent such a small minority. I also support their right to hate anyone they want as long as they don't violate someones civil rights.

Ah, no. 87 has nothing to do with it. If it did, 87s would be instabanned as well.

Douche white supremacists have always been thrown off this site as soon as they've made themselves known.
87 is now Nazi super-secret talk?

Oh,

when I read this thread I didn't think of 87 meaning the generalized arfcom answer for everything. Thought it was some new relative to 88.

There are constant threads from new members asking " how many" of something is enough. Whether it was a question about magazines, ammo, guns, or what have you, there isn't really an answer. One of the members here came up with 87 as the number for all these questions.

Because you said something completely asinine and don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about regarding 87. 87 has nothing to do with white supremacy, unlike 88.

still 87 divided by 0 is 87.............

I think maybe getting himself a drink may have been the problem to begin with.
