There is never any petty whining nor backbiting on Graybeard - which is kept immaculately trimmed.

I pass through there a couple times a week. Not much there of interest for me. It’ll probably be deleted.

I was on there years ago but some moderator I think it was something like Quicktodo bashed me for not exactly following protocol as a newbe. He seemed to be a jerk and others had problems too. A nice man PM'd me and turned me on to this site and I never looked back although I check in there about every 3-4 months or so..

I've been there every now & again. Nothing there to really hold my interest, however.
On the plus side, the people there are much nicer than that bunch of idiot pricks at ARFcom.

The moderation there seems almost nonexistent now. In spite of that it seems to be a handful of guys posting. The changes after the sale of the site cut a lot of people out. The format changed pretty drastically. I don’t see how it pays the bills for the new owner. Accurate reloading is a joke now. If you are anti trump anti American it’s a great place for you to go. It does seem that internet boards are generally fading.
Sounds like the issues with Graybeard were consistent.

15 years ago Graybeards banned me.... Heck he banned half his members all at once about the same time. Banned people for things they said on other sites. Banned people for things they said in "Private" messages. And of course just banning people for not bowing down and having the audacity to not whole heartedly agree with him on everything.

What is interesting is, as I said above I was a loyal member for five or six years, got tired of having Mr. Graybeard tell me what a dummy I was so I posted a "Goodbye" post, essentially a "Goodbye and F*** YOU" post, and I left and never went back, never even went back to see what replies the Genius Administrator or others had made to my post. It was pretty well written I imagine that Graybeard deleted it. But at least I got to tell him "F*** YOU."
So it was Auf Wiedersehen to Graybeard. For about 8 years. Suddenly, a year ago, they began sending me emails.
I never read 'em I don't know what the hell they want, probably want me to return to the forum. Sorry Mr. Graybeard not interested.

I was a big member of Graybeard for years. And then, it was about 10 years ago, I got fed up with them, wrote them a nice "goodbye" post and they have never seen me since.
Someone said they were "overmoderating." I think that was the problem I think it was Mr. Graybeard himself I had some run ins with.
They used to be a good web site. Same here. Me 3 .

Used to go there primarily for the H&R forums. When they were bought out, and H&R was no longer in business, I lost interest and didn't go back. Agree that Bill was very heavy handed on the moderation.

Then you signed up here and showed pics of your cabin and summerbeam work and other carpentry And crossfireooooooppps said you were a fool, a loon, didnt know how to build anything, said he was going to cut your tongue out, etx. Wtf is wrong with some people? Glad you stayed after that , I enjoy your posts and pics from North Carolina.

Accurate reloading is a joke now. But it's the premier place to buy a piece of overpriced Elephant hide stitched on to a 2 dollar wallet or 10 dollar sling. And there is also the jackass with the constant ads for holsters.

Overmoderating is the problem.
