There aren’t enough news outlets in the world. Rick created this for use as a repository for news. A bunch of gun nut dickholes came along and ruined it.

I suspect Rick heard a voice from God! Not build an ark, but start a forum and “ They” will come !!! But Rick probably did not realize he’d be shoveling so much [bleep].

Hunting conversations weren't worth anything. But aha, le browser characterizes you, the consoomer and pays for each, then selling it off. Thus, we are gifted a forum for my-cartridge-is-bigger-than-yours, poofta theads, etc. Sponsors helped keep thing appearing "normal" and less intrusive. Nothing is free, remember that, remember that when you type on a "free" forum.

Before signing in here I had been spending a lot of time/energy with one of the very early members - he came on sometime in early 2000 - and he told me a lot of stuff about the place. Some interesting stories and events back then Finally, I took his advice and stepped in. It has been a very good place.

That is a great recap...

"Self Policing" vs. Mods... is utter genius.

Same way America got her start.
