This site is about to go the way of Bob Dole.Man, we got EDS here bad. Somebody call SteyrAug on the telephone and tell him "we are fored out of our bucking minds!Please come back!We are truly sorry for offending you!" (Remember the photos of Steyr on his roof?) Call McUzi. We need the flamer!Too many hardass Mods and princesses that are hurt by opinions.

LOL, grimshaw, I think everybody's just feeling the effects of the holidays. What's EDS?
|

EDS is erectile dysfunction disorder. Can't get wood.Nobody in any danger of receiving unpleasantness here!

Hey, what about HANGFIRE? Or who could forget Scatman, aka II||I|I||II|,aka Asian Creation...

Don't make me go to the "Brothers of the Safety Shield". They hate me over there. I had a "liberal" idea.

I tell you what, I miss the old days when there was a bit more action and controversy. It's part of what I like about this board before I even registered.
It was fun! And even when I disagreed with someone, I never thought to myself "Self, I wish this person was banned. Or at the least the thread be locked." And the last thing on my mind was saving the "children" from reading any of it. Maybe I'm just more thick skinned than the average person. Or maybe I realize that there's more to the world than just discussions about god and guns. Oh well, it is what it is. Just have to deal with it. I guess there's the new AK board. And it is great. But it will never be the same as it was. For those of you who missed it...... .....It was fucking awesome! |

Back in the "good old days" when this place was hopping every night of the week..there was not a whole bunch of companies paying to advertise on a "firearms site". Times change..the site continues to grow and there is always the "other" gun boards where havoc reigns supreme.
|
|
"Back in the good old days".
Now we understand! Look at this. I'm about to turn 40 and I hate you establishment sell outs! Why does everybody have a price? We will be careful here not to offend your supply! |
|
Well we could have let it continue on the way it was, watched all the advertizers leave and the site go the way of mcuzi.com. Because you can bet your bottom dollar the Avila's wouldn't finance a site full of garbage.
And if it is as boring and terrible as you say it is..why do you post here? |

There's always a moron to ask "Then why do you live here?" Why do you send you your kids there?" "Why do you post here?" Love it or leave it! The National anthem of the trailer content moron population of Cephalanus,Ontario!

View Quote Ok, don't get me wrong I'm not trying to stir up shit here. But how come the site went on for at least a year with guys posting pictures of their naked wives without problems? Hell those hot photo's of McUzi's girlfriend didn't even seem to cause a problem at first. Hell, even discussion about race was allowed. Even when people disagreed. So if that's what you call garbage, it would seem that the Avila's put up with it for QUITE awhile. It's only been six to eight months since it seems moderators have really started getting anal. Don't get me wrong. I know it costs money to run this site, and that involves sponsors. Sure, I agree that you cant' drive them away. Purely a business decision. But I've never once heard that as a reason for cracking down on the content of this site. It's always seemed to me to be for the most part a bunch of crybaby girly men who can't handle controversy of any sort. People who can't handle the idea of not clicking on a topic they don't want to see. "Oh my god! I didn't want to read that! Please ban it for the kids!" Anyway, I still enjoy the site for what it is. Probably the best info site on the net. Whether you're looking for info about guns or cars. But I still miss being able to talk about ANYTHING. |

Someday I will know.
Are there really that many people who talk like classical windbag philosophers all of the time OR do they just type that way??? |

SEAMuSHCOM MAN. We have been opposed in the past. We must now unite against the Fonda's that now rule this site. I shall, myself provide a flank attack on the "Brothers of the Toilet Lid", while you, posing as NSF JojO, attack the the "Mods Only" site. We shall propose peace, but meanwhile in we will offer "Hot Links" to sites undescribable here. Their distraction will be their doom! It will be curtains for all the boring!

I do kind of miss the flame wars. I miss the [b]ALL CAPS, BOLD YELLING OF HANGRIFE[/b], the egomaniacal McUzi ranting about his racial superiority, and the tow of them arguing like two girls bitch-slapping each other over who fathered their babies.
It gets kind of boring, but the talk about guns and current events is way above what it used to be. Besides, we still have Imbro and his "fan club" to keep us entertained. |

Evolve or die.
It must be tough for those who can’t make the cut. I suppose the worse of it came when this forum was joined by thousands of folk use to a more liberal board structure. Some here don’t remember the times before racist and porno threads weren’t permitted here and seem to think that it was the norm. Sorry, they couldn’t be more wrong. AR15.com was a place of sanity in an insane world. A true breath of fresh air. I can’t tell you the number of gun boards where the worse of peoples behavior rules. I have quit posting at a number of boards after they were dragged down by the worst of society’s ills. Like an infection that spreads from one body to the next AR15.com was also infected but successfully fought off the infection and is now better and stronger for it. If you want porno you’ll find 3.4 billion web sites for it. If you want hate sites I’m sure there are more than a few dozen of those and you’re welcome to them. If you want discussion about the AR-15 series of rifles you’ll find no better place than here. Those with $1500 a month to pony up to buy a T-1 and a server to run it are welcome to step up to the plate and create a playground for those who didn’t make the cut or who refuse to play by the rules of the game here. |

Well said Paul. Yes the BOTD type threads were around for awhile. But as with all "pushing the envelope" topics we would give an inch and a few would take 10 miles. Where do you draw the line?
Was it fair to expect the Mods to spend all their time here chasing the scat pictures and posts about how to make your AR full auto? I don't think so. Yes it might be a little boring at times..but as stated before. The quality of the topics are starting to come back. I for 1 like it a lot more like this. |

Late last night I caught just a part of some woman being grounded near a small town on 9/11. Apparently a small town but with a long runway somewhere around. Anyway turns out 793 passengers on several flights were grounded there for three days or so. The crumbag local Canadians set-up free phone banks for the passengers to call home, slept them in halls, homes, where ever, set-up televisions so they could see the continuing events and feed them. And would not take a nickel - for anything. Some of the 793 passengers are going to try and set-up some scholarship funds as a way of saying "Thanks !" Maybe you guys had heard of this kindness before but I had not. [smoke] |

Whats a "crumbag"?
You must mean Lunenberg. It's a small town not far from the Halifax airport where 40+ planes were grounded. There are a lot of stories like that. We Nova Scotian's have a long history of opening our homes to strangers in need.I read in the paper about a couple and their family who were on their way to Vegas to get married. A local woman heard about it and arranged for them to have their wedding in Halifax. She got tux's,wedding gown,catering,minister,honeymoon sweet at a local hotel and even 2 RCMP officers in their red serge tunics for the ceremony all donated. Swiss Air flight 111 is another case. Relatives of the victims were offered a place to stay by the people of the south shore while the search was going on. |

At the risk or reopening wounds that both my psychiatrist and I have decided are not fit subjects for any further consultation, need I remind you of some of the vile, filthy, grotesque, and horribly obscene pics that would occasionally show up on those particular threads?
And I'm not just talking about members' pics of themselves, either! But the [u]others[/u]! Hmmm, crap, now I need either a drink or some Schedule A narcotics! Eric The(OrBoth!)Hun[>]:)] |

I'm not sure which airlines or how many flights but there were exactly 793 stranded passengers that decended on this small town. I believe phone banks, televisions set-up for the passengers, food, lodging, any thing else needed and then refusing to take one penny (Canadian or otherwise) for anything exceeds just being "neighborly."

Things You'd Love to Say at Work (or in a public forum), But Can't I see your point, but I think you're full of shit. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce. How about never? Is never good for you? I see you have set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my way. I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message. I don't work here. I'm a consultant. It sounds like English . . . but I don't understand a word you're saying. I like you. You remind me of me when I was young and stupid. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a damn. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth. Thank you, We're refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view. The fact that no one understands you doesn't make you an artist. Any connection between your reality and mine are purely coincidental. What am I? Flypaper for freaks? I'm not being rude . . . you're just insignificant. And your cry-baby whiny-butt option would be . . ? Do I look like a people person? I started out with nothing and still have most of it left. If I throw a stick, will you leave? Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1? Nice perfume . . . must you marinade in it? How do I set the laser printer to stun? Chaos, panic, disorder . . . my work is done. Feel free to update your signature lines as necessary. [pyro] |

But I do kind of miss some of the "action" there was on the site. I kind of like controversy. But at I can also understand why the owners and moderators here would not. To be honest with you, after putting more thought into it, I am starting to understand why the moderators have to get a little heavy handed every once in awhile. I agree that there are plenty of other places to find porn, no reason for it here. And Ed, you are correct about alot of the old pics, they were generaly in good taste and not hardcore porn. And I sure wouldn't want the job of having to comb this board chasing after scat. I can see where that might get a little old. And even on some of the more "controversial" discussions, I probably never saw half of the more offensive posts before they got locked. Like I said before, this is definately the best site on the net no matter what you're looking for. I come here everyday. It's usually fun, and I almost always learn something new. So I guess I can live without the controversy. |
