I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all the hard work that goes unnoticed keeping this forum running smoothly and not letting it become a Zoo !!
I know there are always gonna be folks complaining about something or another about a forum , but seems to me these are the folks that find something to complain about in most everything . I am active on several forums and this is by far my favorite .
You guys are doing a great job here , its nice to have a place you can help others who are just starting out ...AND have access to guys like NeilC,ErnestR, AZ, and a Ton of other guys who selflessly give their time to help those of us still learning ..Nice work guys !!

Well said Joe.

+1. This is also my favorite forum by far. The thought that went into the layout is evident. Everything has it's place, is clearly marked and easy to find. The relevant posts stay at the top and there aren't 700 sub forums for everything to get lost in.

The only tiny request I would have, and it's more of a whiny nitpick than anything else, would be that the threads in each forum are marked with the date of the original post. That way you can tell when someone bumps an old thread you know it's an older one without having to go into the thread. Regardless, awesome forum and awesome job keeping everything running smoothly!

I like to think that the majority of people are nice and reasonable, but I know it takes a lot of patience to deal with some of the personalities in the general public. Thank you so much!
 
It's the only forum I've ever participated on and the greatest compliment I can give is it is clean. I wouldn't mind my children reading it and I can show it to my wife without offensive jiggling boob avatars. Only a few members have used provocative avatar pictures. I visited a different colored forum through a link as a guest last year and couldnt believe the pictures and language that was celebrated. I'm not perfect by any means, but you become what you consume. 
I also like the fact that Michael and company have continually tried to improve the forum and our safety from scammers. It feels more like a family. Although I have not met any of you in person, I feel like I have brothers around the globe. I have thoroughly enjoyed the communication and camaraderie. I have learned a great deal here. I have especially enjoyed the scenery and quarry from around the world. Cheers Airgunnation!

There doesn't seem to be negative people on this forum. Im sure they get flagged.....disciplined.....and then leave all butt hurt. Doesn't hurt my feelings any. I have not joined another airgun forum because after reading a few of their threads........it became evident thats where all the trash goes to voice all their BS......and get away with it I presume. This is a hobby and its suppose to be fun. Help others where you can.....listen to others and learn where you can. I gravitate to genuinely friendly people.

Well said Plinker!
 
Yea , thanks , It is a well policed clean form, Michael had to put me in my place a couple of times, I did not get my feelings hurt, I just tried to understand.
Just me being stupid and getting used to this form.
I read all the forms I can get on my computer, This sport is so big,
Wait, Really we as air gunners in the USA are very small, That's right from what I have seen , We are a young growing sport,
Just look at the map at air gun Nation , We are very few and far between,,,,, Now if your not on the map. PLEASE get on it, I like to see my fellow air gunners around me ....
If your new to the sport, Read every thing you can get on every air gun site there is a read, ask questions, Do not fixate on one gun or brand, Look around and spend your money wisely ,
If your an old fart to the sport and know everything , Please post up you knowledge and pass it on ,
Answer the old, (not dumb) Questions the new ones ask over and over again....
There are no dumb questions !!!!!!!!
In the sport hot and heavy
Mike.



 
Well said Joe, a lot of work done from the owner/moderators to keep this forum on track!
AGN is world wide, but "USA heavy" so to say. There are some European brothers here, but not as many as one should expect.
Ztirffritz has mentioned it over and over again - go to the bottom of this page guys, and register on the member map.
+2 on the forum.
