I got along fine before Glocktalk and I'll be fine after. I'm really grateful for all the stuff I learned in the 10mm forum over there, which was mostly a result of help from you folks, anyway. Like my sig line said over there, I was just there for the 10mm death ray talk.

I belong to a bunch of forums.  There are only four I really put any degree of effort into.  In order they are:

#1 - Here.  I try to stay logged in during the day whenever I can.  When I am really busy at work, like the last month, I just check a few times a day.
#2 - WeTheArmed.com  Every time I check in here, I check in there.
#3 - At present #3 is steelsoldiers.com.  I have it bad for an M35A2, and have an agreement with the wife that should put me behind the wheel of one next year.
#4 - Cast Boolits.  I was really active there at one time.  I still check in quite often.  I get emails about all the new posts in the alloys sub forum.

I like it here and we the armed best.  I visit for fun.  The others I visit for purpose.

I like this place.  I don't post much, though.

The only other forum I frequent (albeit more than here) is sksboards.

The ban may be a complement to you.

Personally, I see GlockTalk as being bad for the gun owning community. Some of the antics from members should have Glock telling Eric to remove references to their product from the site.

Still, it's like watching a train wreck, I'll look to see what's being posted.  :))

And you can still read the "10 Ring" posts. Posts there are more intelligent.

I send most all ads to the void and did not realize what people were complaining about till I visited the site from my phone. I had to fight ad pop-ups to get to the posts.

BTW, general tip, the Internet is a much more pleasant place with JavaScript (and cookies) turned off. I have them off literally 99% of the time. It's rare for a site to insist they be on, if one isn't wanting to log on. If a site insists, I decide if it's worth it.

You likely drew the ire of the mall ninjas. 

Their G20s and G29s rule.  If the bad guy doesn't fly as far as the ejected brass, then you just grazed him.  If you hit him in the torso, then there is an upper torso and a lower torso, and they aren't attached to each other after the shot.

NoScript and Adblock are great adons for Firefox that let you get what you want out of teh interwebz without giving much up. You can set NoScript to allow benign scripting while blocking the more annoying/harmful stuff or you can set it to specifically ask permission for each site before you allow any scripts.

I wouldn't even be on the webz if it weren't for Glocktalk.

That having been said, I think Raggedyman brought a lot to the table there just as he does here and I would like to see him reinstated.

I know a lot of people love GT.  I stopped visiting right after I signed up years ago.  It just seemed like a schoolyard.

Never been a member there but have read a lot of threads on the 'Ten Ring'. It's GT's loss with the ban...
