Fingers crossed the change goes well. I think anyone who has frequented other forums that have changed hands, has seen at least 1 or 2 of them suffer badly from it.

Here's to hoping that's not the case here.

I hear team membership will increase to $1500/yr to weed out the riff-raff, and postcounts will all be reset to 0 to give everyone a level playing field. And the COC will be amended to include mandatory time outs for anyone using the word "their" for "there", or saying "I could care less". Oh, and no more 24/365 threads or references to coal, in any size.

Congrats!

Looking forward to the coming years and what changes (for the better) may come.

I'm OK with all of this (granted, I will just become a free member for that price)...as long as ban/warning lists are also reset to zero.

Not touching this one... yet.

I'm not sure of any future plans Brownells will have with regards to Edge memberships, but this is a very good place to tie us together more. ARFCOM swag and goods will be moving to Brownells, so there is that improvement right there. No more worrying about the horrid shipping rates we had. Honestly, we hope there is some tie in here, but that will come with time and discussions. I will gladly represent you guys to get some love!

Now we can have all the team snobs tell us about how we should stop being poor and support the small mom and pop operation of Brownells by paying for forum features that are free everywhere else.

Honestly the biggest hurdle to the search working well is how many of the titles are creatively named. Not sure how you could fix that without searching the posts as well and adding lots of complexity.

I wouldn't mind a change that matches words a little better instead of having to use an asterisk. Trump, Trumps, Trump's for example should all show up in search results automatically even if I only search Trump.

IMHO. But it definitely isn't as big a deal as people make it out to be.

For search I'll sometimes use Bing or whatever with "site:ar15.com + keywords". Fast and pretty decent.
