This, being my 3000th post, I thought I would use it (waste? [;)]) to thank the Admins on this board.
You guys have put together an incredible place where people of all backgrounds can get together and share one common interest.
I’ve only been around this site for a year, but in that short time I have learned more than I ever imagined. I’ve made many friends, and maybe a few enemies. I’ve met people from my area that enjoy the shooting sports as much as I do, both old and young I’ve also expanded my black rifle collection immensely. I went from a single HK91, to a Colt, a SAR-2, a Bushmaster, a Tromix, and soon to another Bushmaster.
None of these purchases would have happened without AR15.com. I simply wasn’t interested in the AR-15 before my first visit here. Like many, I had heard about how many “problems” they have. Well, this place dispelled that myth.
This site has certainly seen it’s ups and downs in the short time I’ve been here. We’ve had trolls from Scatman to BoG. There have been plenty of flame wars, and then there have been many threads about somebody being a new daddy, or about the death of a loved one. I really like how the members here feel like they can share these sorts of things with us. I’m sure they wouldn’t do so with strangers. But we aren’t strangers here. Most of have never met, nor will we. But there is a bond here between the members. That bond is what will keep me around for as long as this place exists. I will support this site with whatever means I can, including renewing my membership when that time comes.
So, to all the non-paying members, I urge you to support this site if you feel the same way as me. Isn’t all the information that you’ve gleaned worth a measly $60 per year? This place can’t make it on advertisements alone, and there are only a few hundred paying members. Any idea how much the computers, software and bandwidth cost per year? If you can’t afford the $60 one time price, then ask if you can pay by the month.
So again, thanks to the mods and my friends here.
Ed and Juan, thank you for your hard work and your hard-earned dollars. I know this place costs a fortune, and I am thankful for every bit of it.
Don (masterlock CEO), thank you for not locking this thread, even though I said “[red][size=3]Peanut Butter[/size=3][/red]"[:D]
Tatja, thank you for being such a good friend and putting up with my crap. [0:)]
Anti, BigPig, ETH, Paul, raf, Sweep, Waverunner, Arock, DBrewer, Tyler, Treetop, Dave, Doorgunner, Troy, Stokes, etc… thank you so much for keeping this place in order. You guys do a bang up job. Hopefully I can join your ranks some day.
And finally, thanks to all the board members for making this site what it is today.

One of the fundamental truths of the universe is that there isn't anything that cannot be improved with the addition of pirates, ninjas, midgets or monkeys.

This is what discourages people from getting involved with politics today. They will dig up little things like murder, racketeering, and sexual slavery in your past. |
Nice post!
