slump?

Post by Netpackrat »

Is it just me, or is overall traffic on the site down lately?

It appears so to me. Noticed it a couple of weeks ago.

I thought part of the down turn in posts was because Chris was working more.

I don't suppose I can really say much in that regard. With Alaska in the news as much as it has been the last few months, most of my buttons were bound to get pushed. But I think as people start to realize how well and truly fucked we are, there will be less posting and more lurking on gun forums in general. The need for information is stronger than ever, but I'm guessing that if there is even a hint of confiscation coming, people will start thinking about their google back trails.

Either way, I think this forum needs an enema.

Shows how clueless I am, don't know which Doug we're talking about and didn't notice anything more than the usual crap storms. Ah well. I like being slightly clueless.

I'd agree with Chris' characterization of "less civil".

It seems we have become like the Kos kids, eating our young.

One of the other gun forums I visit allot is having a similar problem, except multiplied by about 10. It will blow over eventually.

I thought I was sort of on top of things, but I believe I'm loosing it as well.

What did Glenn Bartley say and who is he? I saw a post from Timo that I added on to. Sorry Skb . But I didn't see a comment from Glenn Bartley.

What did Doug say?

And how do you give a forum an enema?

As far as somebody going after my guns, we'll see what happens. I've taken a more public role in defending our rights so not much I can hide?
