So I signed up for the forums, and confirmed my email yesterday.

I understand that mods manually approve accounts, but was wondering if this is a slow process because I never heard back from them.

I am not a service member or law enforcement.I mainly wanted to join so I could glean some information from the Roll your own forum I had heard about as I am planning on making some canvas bags from scratch.

Anyway, just curious if I am being over anxious.

Thanks

Make sure you post your intro and fill out your profile right off the bat. They are very big on E-cock measuring contests there.

It was not always so. People wishing to remain members there would do well to refrain from voicing minority opinions on any matter.

Normal standards of internet buffoonery don't apply there.

Think of it as a no BS internet based resource for gunfighting and not as a message board.  

Also, you must think Pat Rogers is a deity.

Are you talking about the over the top Obama bashing that was squelched?

Given that he's the current commander in chief of the military, and lots of guys there are active duty military, I can see why the admins wouldn't want the board to become known for its political views.

No. I've known people to be banned there for expressing a preference in gear that a moderator doesn't like.

It's the ultimate circle jerk for every one term 0311 or city cop. There's some decent info but lately the shenanigans are getting on my nerves.

I pretty much only read posts there. I don't think I've ever actually posted. I also think I've been a member there long enough to where I didn't have to do an introductory post. Yeah, there's some stupidity, but there's also incredible knowledge and experience.

And entertainment. Watching Haley go off the deep end defending his totally-awesome 1911 Glock trigger () was an amazing thing to watch.

Here you go. Reading over the thread, it was not nearly as sexy as I remember. Haley has done some real-deal work, so no one was going to give him too hard a time there. It was a bit a big deal back when he posted what he did, though.

It's easy if you don't post. Nearly everything I have ever thought about asking there has been discussed––usually in many threads, many times. I just search anytime I have a question. A ton of knowledge there.

Place is dead as an upstate new York factory. I think I have four posts there. Used to some good gear reviews by guys in the military but not much going on there now other than the 20 people who have been there forever roughing up any new sucker who wanders in by mistake.
 






I didn't see the Haley thing yet. Some holster guy goy caught shilling and kind of melted down. I have to admit Pat Rogers was more patient with him then I would have been.







 
5/19/2012 12:44:08 AM EDT

The holster thing was interesting. I rarely go there anymore. Pretty much only if I have a specific question in mind or if someone tells me about some new controversy on the forum.

Anyway if they are manually approving accounts I could see it taking a few days depending on how closely they examine new account. Could be afew days. I wouldn't bother e mailing they're a pretty ornery bunch.

I'm not going to disagree with you, but you don't have to post there. You don't even have to read it. There is a lot of very good info there. And a lot of guys with some very good knowledge. Go post in one of our AR tech forums contradicting someone with 20 posts and see what happens. There are annoying posters on every forum.

It is a little offensive when you just read it for 4 years and decide to make one post and you are abused because you didn't rememver to go back and do the intro.  "You are just a total POS who can't follow simple instructions yada yada yada."

There is some good info there, I've been a member for years. This snippet from the Haley trigger thread should be considered when deciding if it your kind of place:

Negative remarks about this site elsewhere stem from fat naked fucks in basements who can hide their fat asses behind post counts on other sites. Fuckwads get drummed out quickly due to the legit membership and administrator pool here.

Yup. That sounds about right.

If he's referring to his co-workers, they are the kind of "crew" that specializes in making bad people around the world die a loud, ugly death, often in an up close and personal manner.

...of course, not everyone who got a shout out in that post is or was part of said "crew".
