Yeah they fuckin’ failed miserably at that.
ABNAK pm’d me on Glocktalk. He’s another guy who can’t get in here any longer.
He asked that I contact you @Diamondback about it.
They didn’t fail…they didn’t even try.
Absolutely. It’s beyond pathetic.
It’s actually made me decide to never, EVER, ever buy anything from SOLGW. And I’ll advise others to do same.
Just out of spite.
And fuck G&R too. If Grant wasn’t such a shady criminal, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
I tried to pop a Password Reset email from what I could access. Hope he got it.
I’d join a boycott but it’s not like I could buy from them in this Ban State hell abyway even if I wanted to.
Thanks. I’m sure it’s a futile effort, but worth a shot.
Best case it works, worst we tried. Nowhere to go but up.
At this point, they should just sell the site to PSA.
I hate to say it, but at this point I doubt it is saleable. Honestly where is the value.
Sadly M4C is kind of like the husk of an old muscle car. Sure, it was great once but now it’s wrecked, stripped out, and sitting on blocks in the yard. That she’ll ain’t worth much.
I’d love to see this site brought back to life, but I don’t have any idea how to make that happen.
First step is get it under owners who’ll install a sysadmin that understands “Don’t Fuck With What Don’t NEED Fucking With”… M4C is on Deathwatch because some marketing retard insisted on trying to force radical change onto a fundamentally change-averse community.
Now watch this, I’ll bet it’s not long before I get told I’m unable to login and can’t get a password reset just like the limbo ABNAK is trapped in thanks to this garbage-ass approach of running a needlessly overcomplicated system without a needed sysadmin to keep it running…
Stop in after being away & see what M4C has become…Sad!
No telling how many guys can’t even get back into this forum and just said screw it.
Oh hell know, there’re ways around the idiocy, we get what we want.
But I’ll never spend a dime for any SOLGW garbage, just because of what they’ve done here.
The only way they’d get a dime from me now is if we were able to set up a GoFundMe to buy the site from them and get it to more competent operators.
Not like I can buy anything from them anyway in this Bantard Hell, but…
Facebook is popular with the boomers.
Telegram and Signal are both (relatively) secure chat apps that allow for group discussions and group chats. It’s not as complete as the old vBulletin forum type display, but it’s mobile friendly.
AOL bulletin boards and chat rooms of the 1990s worked well enough compared to this sophisticated ghost town.
Ironic that the once-proud ghost town I cite as the future of this forum started there as the Prodigy Shooting Sports board, with guys like Mas Ayoob, Frank James and Dean Speir…
Chat apps like Signal & Telegram are great for messaging, but terrible for orderly, involved discussion of technical subjects, the way you have threads on a forum.
It’s a poor substitute for that specific application.
I offered to buy it like a year ago or whenever that was, but at this point it is unlikely that any costs of acquisition and operation would be recouped in a timely manner. I don’t think users can pay on this format to sponsor (nor would they), and I doubt advertisers would bother, given the traffic.
They’re looking at a loss.
