Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Anybody notice a shift in the Savage Collectors Forum?

Yesterdays post by a long time member that's all but disappeared got me to thinking.

What? Did Steelhead post?

There a bunch that dont post or post little anymore, and a few have past away, Steelhead doesnt post here to often. Times change and so do people!

Really - thinking what?? Why do you even bother with these BS posts

The only person who I "miss" on this forum is Jed.

But, OTOH, I'm pretty indifferent when it comes to internet "relationships". The number of rude comments made here on a regular basis are enough to drive polite people away. Too many people making personal attacks, rather than discussing differences of opinion in a civil manner.

EDIT: But the "ignore" feature is handy if you want to avoid people who you find to be regularly rude and/or annoying.

There are a number of people that only correspond via PM or group email now. I communicate often with people that hardly ever post here anymore.

More twaddle now - less solid information than the old days.

Fewer people asking for it.

Folks just holding their breath waiting on Davids book to be released. Here is a non savage photo for those that want something to bitch about. Tom

Neat picture! I got one pic of a bobcat this year, but it was really blurry.

I believe the old guard has the information pretty well sorted and assimilated by now, that's the point of asking questions and having discussion. Much of that occurred years ago.

As a new guy, I'll add that we are not finding the numbers of older 1899's and even older 99's that used to be available because, guess what, they're being collected. So, less to discuss.

I was just on the phone with a couple folks. Neither post "allot" but when they do, folks in the know listen. To absolutely quote one of them,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"there is no collectors forum anymore".

PM is often used to offer to buy guns from other members that post about them.

I personally got tired of posting up things to discuss when almost nobody else bothers. All it would take is for a few folks to post up an oddball or unusual gun once a month each after the auction hammer falls on it, and this forum would stay interesting.

Somebody ask about a photo of a bobcat?
Here you go!
Night time visitor at my place in PA.

Which 99 is this?

Not my picture. He knows whose it is.....

With that caliber you could take down anything. GW

Ditto but RAM places a close second.

Ram posed better questions to get the ball rolling. Jed was the Trump of the forum. He was soooooooooooooo eloquent.
