Hi!

We need to get the guns out of your hands! I'll come and get them today!

All new posts should be titled " WTF "...........

How about we don't sweat them? Sounds good.

ETA: A polite link to a similar thread would be helpful, but trying to squash a new guy who doesn't live on here (as obviously some of you do) is going to keep the community small and stagnant. I also think actually titling a thread correctly would help a lot. "This drives me crazy!" or "Who woulda thunk it?" etc may be fun to write but are useless in trying to figure out if something is already being discussed.

I'm on board with those comments; I have better things to worry about. I also think it's unfair to assume some people who have only been contributing lately are "new to the gun game". I'm glad more are contributing and are worried.

Sure, come on over.
It's for safety, right?
Oh, look, the safety's on.
I should take care of that.
Hey, who the hell are you?
What are you doing here?
GET OFF MY LAWN!

it really has nothing to do with new guys. or people who spend all day on here. which you obviously think is dumb. but those people must spend all day on facebook, because they see the topic and instantly post it here. instead of even thinking to look and see if it was already here.

and I am 100 percent behind people creating good, descriptive thread titles. read my thead. but, some people are still too lazy to look first.

right now we have something like 5 magpul threads going on. why? it would be alot easier to discuss it in 1 thread.


and for mrghost, if you arent the problem, then I wasnt talking to you. new or old, its important to keep the reposts down. it makes the forum difficult to navigate. i know you said you guys dont spend much time here. well then just read here, dont feel the need to make duplicate threads.

I'm 100% in agreement on the constant blind-link Facebook-article-du-jour stuff. The only problem is that occasionally something good might not get the attention it deserves - like the Magpul bit.

I actually don't care at all about reposts

Repost Police are good for belaboring the point in reposted threads. Which is good for making sure reposts keep getting bumped to the top. An invaluable service.

Yeah, me either.
