[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2879256, member: 8394"] Like to take the time to point out just how vital privately owned forums like this one have become to a lot of us. Many have been gobbled up into cmg type Walmart forums, and it seems the industry has adapted to facilitate mainstream social media, at the loss to older platforms such as this. But many of us rejected those new mediums and the values in opposition to our hobby they represent. Len runs this places with the ethos of his living room sitting around talking about hunting, that is stark contrast to all the mainstream platforms. For some reason the social media managers of many firearms related manufacturers have bent over backwards to facilitate those platforms ever changing whims, while it's cricketts on private owned platforms such as this. (Industry wide issue not singling out anyone). As the culture in mainstream media shows its ugly head, places like this are safe havens for a large (and growing)swath of people. Manufacures choosing to take part in these forums may risk some exposure, my guess is the reward is better than the risk. [/QUOTE]
