A real "Other Topics" forum

PWK · March 18, 2001, 07:38 PM

I went back a couple of months looking for a post here related to having an other topics forum for the guys and gals here to just shoot the breeze. I didn't find any such post so I thought I would propose it. Same rules would apply about civility and such. You could require that a member have at least 50 or 75 posts to post in this new other topics forum thus avoiding trolls.

Seriously. It's been our experience that off topic posts just drag the site quality down. There's plenty of other sites, even firearms sites, that welcome off topic "chat". Our Staff is simply not capable (interested?) in moderating such.

However, help is on the way. The new version of the software, already Beta Tested by our Members includes a neat Private Messaging feature. Makes it real easy to converse with friends.
