so do we get a cut based upon post count? asking for a friend.  I'll do it for $60k and show up for board meetings as long as they are in Iowa.

See Brownells, that sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. You are better off investing in me.

You are also stuck with this site how it is (no major rewrite coming for now) for a while longer. Although I do want to continue to improve things as we always have.

My only comment to add is I truly hope the Brownells can leverage the following to do some good that was not possible via the NRA.
We have 497,297 registered members, 345,633 are active accounts. |

No changes planned and no changes desired on that front. ARFCOM will remain ARFCOM and we will remain here to ensure things continue to improve and expand. Colorful topics are a part of our everyday fun, so why change it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Is the CoC going to get more strict given our newfound association with Brownells? I enjoy some of the more colorful topics. It'll get real boring if we just end up with dinner pics and reviews of A2 flash hiders. Do you or any of the Avila's have final authority on changes to this forum? |

Where is that Ray Liota gif?
That's what Brownells lawyers will be looking like when reviewing the CoC. So what happens when mainstream media gets wind that the white nationalists ARF organization is the social media arm of Brownells ghost gun parts supply house? What's Brownells emergency exit strategy? |

Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere for a long time. We are more dedicated to this community and the larger firearm community than you can imagine. This is a new beginning and we have a LOT of hope for all the things that are now within our grasp. While the site will continue to grow and improve, there are bigger issues out there we want to help tackle. There are a number of interesting political and commercial possibilities raised with this. One example could be an expansion of file hosting, possibly video content that YouTube is demonetizing and blocking. GB, see if we unwashed members can get in on some options, RSUs, or something before an eventual IPO. Maybe a progressive allocation based on a metric of join date +/- post count.
