Assuming Facebook and gun forums have some type of revenue generating means (ads or something... and don't cost the owner actual money to keep the servers running?)... I think keeping an appropriate and large audience is dang smart.
I have been on Virginia Gun Trader for a solid decade... used to be very active there... many true F2F friends... but Brian (the owner) RUINED the site about 5-6 years ago by policing EVERYTHING... you can post stuff, but commentary like "Nice Gun"... or "Free Bump for a Trusted Member" was banned... because people would very occasionally make mean/rude comments.
This site however... is PERFECT because Bin allows self-policing... i.e. Say something stupid... and 5 gallon bucket of GFYs (from the peanut gallery) comes a flying... THANKS RIC, you are a good and smart man!
I am in "Time Out" on VA GT because I asked some fool if he spit or swallowed in the "Shout Box"... absolutely don't care... the site is more FUBAR than Monument Ave. anymore...
Looking for a sword to fall on for a final ban... ABSOLUTELY OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS! Thanks in advance.
