[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Has anyone noticed the downward spriral of Glock Talk in recent times? (Page 1 of 2)

A few years ago it was a better place to hang out. However, recently it seems that it's been taken over by sissys and bitchy women. There are still some cool people who frequent the site. It's just that the sissys, libtards etc are in much greater numbers over there these days.

I tried to log on yesterday and my account is locked. I hadn't logged on in two weeks but I had been reading threads. I can still log on under my old username and see my user CP but i can not post, reply, IM, or email anyone.

I sent an email to the webmaster yesterday but so far I have gotten no reply. I didn't get banned but I can't participate either.

You must have posted something unknowingly and got locked. Eric the punk, is famous for doing this. He likes playing "my site".

Did I mention that Eric is a punk?!

For example. If you were to poll most GTers, they'd say you should have to have a permit to own a gun.

One time my Glock 19 started failing to extract/eject. I took a pic of the malfunction and went to that board since it was a Glock board and asked about my problem. People started jumping on me saying there was no malfunction and I was faking the malfunction trolling. I didn't ever go back to that board.

Glock did completely rebuild my shot to death gun complete with new extractor and even a new frame for free. The only parts I got back that I sent them were the barrel and slide. They even gave me a new mag all for free.

That's crazy talk. Do you need a permit to voice your opinion? To practice your religion?

That's the new crop of retards that joined up over there. They, the new crop of tards, feel that all ex cons should loose their rights forever. They also feel that an 18 year old who boinks his 16 year old girlfriend should be branded as a sex preditor for life.

Just 2 examples of the insanity that is considered the norm over there.

There's a lot of JBT cock blowing that goes on there too. It was a great site when I originally joined but it went downhill shortly after. If the BS stopped I'd post there again.

+2 GT is my backup site for when ARFCOM is down and I need my 'gun talk' fix. ARFCOM has not quite gotten to the level that GT has gone, but sometimes I think we're getting close with all the internal cock stroking and emotional bitch posts. The popularity contests for some on these boards reminds me a lot of high school.

I got locked for something similar. I had the slide lock spring on my 26 break, which meant the lock was not being held down (and would lock the slide after every round). I posted about it, and massive flaming ensued. I ultimately posted some pics of what I thought the Glock was good for, and Eric banned me. Of course, one pic was of the 26 frame with a toilet brush attached to the top where the slide should be (stuck in a toilet). Another was of the barrel driven into the ground with a golf ball on top of it...

I used to hang out over there, untill a fricass with a known felon came up...

I decided then, that I didn't need to hang out there anymore.

The disinformation/ misinformation, posturing, and silliness just flat got outta hand.

Kinda like GD on Meth and LSD combined.

Maybe it will come back after a bit.

Meh...

I like GT. I'm pretty new to the gun forums, but not new to forums in general.

Being a forum whore since 1998 or so, i shake my head at more posters here than on any other forum i've been a part of. I'm still deciding if that's a bad thing or not

I find that GT has more of a cross section of "real" people who have some idea as to how the real world works, instead of the "it oughtta be" pie-in-the-sky crowd that fuels so many threads here.

Yep.

More schizophrenic dumbass bullshit in GD than at GT.

If you want answers you post in GNG on GT, if you want tinfoil and the chance to i-slap around some damaged goods individuals you post on arfcom GD.

Got to admit though, it's fun slapping the tards around in here.

That's probably a good assessment.

Arfcom has much more of a "gun guy" membership while GT seems to have more of a "average gun owner" type of people.

Heck yes!!!

It's getting pathetic over there.They created the OAF sub-forum for all the stupid bullshit but there isn't enough attention there so they post worthless kiddie stuff in GNG

Actually the average gun owner element, while true, is not what I was referring to.

It's the sheeple, sissy's, anti religion zealots and anti male women who frequent the site, lately is what I'm mainly referring to.

On top of that they have this bitch moderator,(Mrs VR) who looks like Punky Brewster and her husband Pee Wee Herman, who gets jealous when guys post pics showing off their wives and girlfriends wearing bathing suits.

Well, I haven't heard back after emailing the webmaster about my account being locked over there. I didn't do anything to get myself banned so I have no clue as to why they would disable my posting abilities but still allow me to log in and mess with my avatar. I guess I can still also IM administrators so I sent an IM to one.

I guess I could just start a new account if I can't get my first one back open. Why would they disable a guy for not logging in in two weeks? It has to be a glitch.

Out of curiosity, what makes you think that those don't constitute a cross section of "average gun owners"? Do you have some mental image of the "average gun owner" being a modern rugged individualist version of the Marlboro man?
