I have been asked to set up a log for the newly displaced Marlin Talkers. I want to wish you a warm welcome, and please email me at webmaster@24hourcampfire.com or send a Private Message (PM) if you have any question or issues.
I hope you guys make it over.

Marlin Talk was a pretty good/classy forum and had numerous interesting,educated and helpful members(Coyote Hunter, Jackfish et al.).They would be a nice addition to an already outstanding site.
Join in fellers! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
What is the deal here? I thought we already had a saltwater fishing section? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
THANK YOU! I know some users had grumblings about some of the stuff that went on at the MarlinTalk forum, but I really enjoyed the positive info that was shared there. MarlinTalk was responsible for me purchasing a 336SC and an 1895SS, and I've written Marlin a letter stating exactly that.
The great thing about the internet is that we can quickly switch to another forum like this one and keep going. Much thanks to RickBin!
Welcome to the 'fire! Always nice to have new members kicking around. Warning though ... you should be safe in this fourm ... but dare you venture out of here you will be in the word SUCKS, McMillan, Pac-nor and Leupold! It can be scarey (esp. for the wallet). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> 25-284, 257 ROY and a host of AI variants will hunt and haunt you.
Came to this forum knowing very little and now realize I know even less than when I started .... and I learned a lot.
Again, welcome to what very well may be one of the best hunting and shooting forums on the web, stick around long enough and you'll see Rick runs a top notch show.
Hey fellows. I made it over. Thank you to the folks at the Campfire for hosting a spot for us. We'll be on our best behavior <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Thanks Rick and Howdy All! I've seen someone of the others on several other sites and that's how I got here. Someone posted a link here..... didn't know about the Campfire till today.
Well....I guess somebody did something and arranged to allow me to post. I got a flashing envelope that told me I had a message but there was no message or I deleted it....or something. I hate computers, they are an invention of the devil.
Thank you to who ever fixed my problem. I'm glad to be here.
I was only a member of Marlin Talk for a few months but I got a lot of help and a bunch of questions answered there. I'm sure that the same will apply here.
Does anybody know why Marlin shut it down? Would a letter writing campaign to Marlin help to get it going again?
Was feeling kinda lost. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Gonna miss that place, but life goes on. Thanx again. I think this place is gonna fill up quick.
Yeah, I'm here from MT too. Sure will miss the font of information and entertaiment from that site. I just realized though with MT down, that there are some other nice sites out there. This looks like one of them. Hope so!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Thanks Rickbin, I was wandering around and found this site ,I really hate to see MT go like that , I didn't post there much but the info that I got from just reading the posts from the others was priceless to me,I hope a lot of those same guys come to this board, some have I see already,again THANKS <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Good to see you sidespin and leverdude. Hopefully most of the other guys make it over here. There were around 14700 registered users of MT. This forum may become overwhelmed.
THANK YOU! It's good to have a place to lurk where you know the folk's are willing to share info,prayers and praise.Shame MT shut down with 46 pages of squack talk and everything else. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Rancid Rolf
Well I made it thanks Rick for the space and the board!! It sounds like a few other places are welcoming the guys from the Marlin board at their sites also which of some I go to also so it sounds like we will be several places. I knew nothing of this board so if nothing else the demise of Marlin Talk may have helped some of these other fine folks so nothing wrong with that !! Jim
Thanks Rick Sure is good to see some familiar faces. Glad to see so many made it here.Was affraid ya'll got lost in cyber space. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

It is a shame Marlin Talk shutdown. I had learned much there and more importantly was entertained there on an almost nitely basis. But it is good to see some of you guys have made it here also, so the education can continue. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

The Marlin Firearms Company & H&R 1871/NEF- "Marlin Talk" Corporate Policy
We noted that �Marlin Talk� was cancelled because of �technical and administrative considerations�. As you all know, Marlin pays to have our website - including �Marlin Talk� - on the Internet. It is, therefore, a company sponsored feature. This makes Marlin responsible for what appears on the site. As you know, many statements, questions and recommendations appear on the site that may be factually wrong, provide dangerous information, or contradict Marlin safety instructions. Ideally, �Marlin Talk� entries that we disagree with or are just plain incorrect, should be answered by Marlin at the site in a timely manner. This task simply cannot be done because of lack of personnel - thus it is truly an �administrative� problem. To continue with �Marlin Talk�, leaving these concerns, questions, and issues unanswered, is a situation that we do not consider acceptable. To allow former �Marlin Talk� members the opportunity to retrieve e-mail addresses or download listed posts we are opening �Marlin Talk�, without the ability for users to post, until February 20, 2004. We apologize for any inconvenience that the discontinuance of �Marlin Talk� causes you, but due to a wide variety of issues we have no alternative choice. .
Semper Fi!

Still sounds like there is something Marlin isn't telling us though. Maybe I'm just suspicious.

I was hoping that 24 hour Campfire would pick the pieces. What a surprise! One day left posts and the very next day Marlin took down the board. I have been on 24 hour for some time, but not as heavy as always checking the Marlin site. Also on the NAHC board. Thanks for providing a home to the guys and gals from Marlin Talk!
[color:"purple"] [/color] Well I finaly found this sight... I was raelly das when the MT forum went donw but hey time goes one lol... I have found two sights that make up the differents... I think I'm raelly going to like it here...looking fwd to talk'n here.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I�ve learned a lot from the MT forums, so I�m glad to find a place where so many of the regulars are camped. This is a really nice site by the way.
Marlin Talk, like Shooters just couldn't get it right. So once again enter "Rick Bin". Before you know it this kid's gonng to own the internet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. Is that "Rick (Gates) Bin" or "Rick Bin (Gates)"
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />Howdy to all. I am glad to be here with my Marlin Talk friends. Jim <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I had been here to the CampFire in the past and am glad to see that Marlin Talk will live on - it was a great forum. I appreciate the owners of this forum adding a Marlin Talk section. Odessa

[color:"blue"] Im so darned glad to find you guys between here and beartooth, I could just cry (tears of joy of course) I posted in the lever forum under Ricks suggestion on Marlin format and hopefully his greatness can set up the Marlin heading essentially the same as it used to be on MT. I emailed Mr. Chabot with my sentiments about their tactics. His head probably popped off and that is why I have not received a reply. Either that, or his mailbox is full. Rick, I would like to extend my thanks here as well. Ranger [/color]

Ahhh...I see some familiar people here! Seems we all have scattered a bit but we will be able to stay in contact! Great to see you guys!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the welcome, I recieved a heads up note in my e-mail today pointing me to this site. I have used the same user name I had on Marlin Talk so others from that forum will already be familiar with me. Thanx JarheadEd! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I was set'n around, missing Marlin Talk, but from my view of this site I must say I am very impressed! Glad to be here! Any other Canadians on here?
Hi Rick, thanks for the invite and for setting this up. I've been reading MT for 8 months and bought a 38-55CB and a 1894CB in 23-20 because of that site. These are the first two levers in my life and I couldn't be happier. I was dumb founded when Marlin pulled the plug, and with out any warning! Thanks to all great info I received from the guys on MT, I was able to get the 38-55 shooting under an inch at 100yds with no problems. I'll put out the details later. This is my first time commenting on any forum and I don't know if I'm doing this right? I hope everybody from MT comes here, there's too much info to be lost otherwise. Thanks to all of you from a lever wannabe. Ricosheawabbit
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />I'm sure there a few more canucks kicking arround,this is a great site best thing to have happen, now there's a whole new crop of posters and readers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />Thanks for taking us in from the cold Rick, and if you were here you would know how cold that really is.lol
Well guys it almost feels like home, Ranger you always have been the emotinal one of the bunch (tears of joy). Thanks to all the regulars for letting us pile in like this, Rick will most likely have to do some changing on the board. If so, Rick, please let us know what we can do to cooperate and it is as good as done.
THANKS RICK! VERY good of you to set this all up and make us all so welcome! I have been lurking here off and on...but more so on Marlin. Now I can focus on the FIRE!!! Thanks again! Jake
Jarhead Ed...AKA edi123....WHEW!! DANG glad to see you here...I was worried!! Lookin' better here all the time!! Ain't NOTHIN to worry about when the Big Green Machine throws a beach party!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Semper Fi !! Lee
Yo Bushtrekker; Glad to see you made it up to the fire! Thanks for the E-mail the other day, glad to see you found your way. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Thanks for the welcome. It's good to see some of you guys here and at AR and Jesses. Man I feel like a bomb went off and we're all trying to find our way back together. I guess the there are better metaphors out there. Hope get to know some new peole and contribute what I can. I miss MT as a central location to all my friends there but I am not going to cry about it too much. I will say that this was a bad decsion on Marlins part, but I will still buy their rifles.
