    Gunboards didn't do the "Right thing"...

    It was a private section with loose rules that the public couldn't see. But, the new Canadian owners (overlords) got pissy because some post offended or they thought would offend the general public, that couldn't see it in the first place..... Stupid Canuks...

    Yep,

    I've tried it also today and it's asking for a password. However, since we have a new minefield here now I'll probably not visit the YW forum. I am grateful that 5th gave us a home for the short time it lasted.

      I think I was a member of those sub-forums a long time ago, but admittedly I didn't use Gunboards very much. Most gun forums have been bought up and cleaned out I guess.

      Have to ask, what exactly was offensive? Racist diatribes and disjointed political rants?

        no such thing, someone called the guy a commie,
        and even tho he was invited to join in the conversations, or threads, he declined,

        I got a day suspension for questioning something, but that same mod said I was an asset to the boards and released me after a 1\2 day,
        with a rather firm discussion on never questioning a mod in public,


        VS has a tremendous amount on inconsistencies in how they manage one board, and they bring in mods from other forums (some with little to experience in what the forum is about) to keep the new rules enforced, while allowing what is not allowed on other forums,


        all in the name of clicks for advertisers, no a thought given on the actual content

          I think the same company killed the M14 forum as well (at least for me). Just seems to be their way of keeping clicks alive.

            I think they also just bought Rimfire Central.

              Is it just me or did our resident troll just bubble to the surface?
              They changed the rules without notice, penalized completely at random, frequently when not even a modified without rules notice wasn't violated in any way, sometimes when the member wasn't even able to post & handed out random bans for absolutely no reason.
              How is that even remotely like "Doing The Right Thing"?

                Thought they ran through a pistol forum as well. I just remember the Canadian influence.

                Hopefully the asylum seekers find the home they desire.

                        I can't access it either. Still being re-directed to a password entry page for it, and the log in/out does not change anything.

                        Regards,
