Only post if you've been here longer than me and have some advice to say. anything goes. If you were to look back at yourself when you joined here, what would you tell them? I suggest ignoring politics or selfies. just You.

I just barely joined before you! Learn ignore the drama, and don't get sucked in. Mark has it pretty much right.

I’d say that some newer members might have some good advice !
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Couple of days ago I went back and looked at some of my early posts. Mostly they were superior to stuff I've posted for the last ten years.
I guess I just haven't had much interesting stuff to say recently, but I have been backing off on the frequency of posting

Don't take it all too seriously. Give a little more slack.

Signed on in 2003. My advice is to identify the trolls, and put them on ignore. 😜

Anyway if I could give some advice to the me I was in Nov of 07 I’d say hunt more than build (custom rifles that is). I’d also say spend as much time focusing on the kids as ya can cuz time is passing fast and you won’t be the coolest ever for as long as you think...

I've been an old man since I turned 15 and learned the true facets of society with it's reprehensible, and often disgusting 'values & norms', sadly it's only gotten worse. Ya'll should catch up, as that was 20 years ago, and I was barely a man. Now days, simple pricks talk about good days, as if they ever knew any... more like, they didn't know the destruction surrounding themselves to even be capable of understanding what 'good' actually means, but I digress.

Give folks a chance here.
There have been some surprises with meeting people here.
By and far, most people I've met from here are great folks, and I'm glad to have spent time with them! Some, I wasn't too sure of, but they have been great...
Others I have met and spent time with from here, and expected them to be fun and great to be around,.... well,... weren't. That was a big surprise. Live and learn, but give everyone a chance.

I've been here a long time, and was fairly new to reloading. Got great help here, and went on to meet a lot of people that posted here, and met in person some that turned out to be very good friends. Some of the best that I have. I will not name, names for a variety of reasons, one of which is, I would not want to leave anyone out by accident. I suspect that you know Who you are anyway. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Been here since February of 2006. Don't feed the trolls! And for God's sake, don't admit to owning a 270. If you plan on entering the Dinkathon, send the Grand Poobah a case or two or ten of good beer.

There were some really great guys here that I miss. Some chose to leave, others were called to their next great adventure. Seeing that happen is one of the consequences of being one of the old men.
