I was a long time member there, and involved in the muzzleloader dispute, which was entirely stupid. Swamp lost his mind on several forums, and lost some very experienced folks due to his "panties in a bunch" mentality. Good riddance....

Haven't been there in a loong time. It died, and somebody forgot to bury it. Yer right about going to school at GBO, I still go there once in a great while, and Ole Greybeard is just as bigga dictator as always.....

Ah, the good old days of H.I.S., HuntAmerica and Shooters.
Been over there a few times in the last few years, but the traffic was so slow that it wasn't worth the effort. Can't even remember what my password was to sign on.
Always find it interesting how forums will grow, peak and then decline. They all seem to do it.

Swamp was an absolute IDIOT! He knew so little, and would argue so much, that it was pathetic. He was also obsessed with post counts/visits, to try and boost his appeal to advertisers. He singlehandedly killed his own board. Heck, I was a moderator and got banned! I admit, it was a hoot while it lasted, having access to the restricted mods forum. Those guys would argue and gang up on who would be the next to be banned. They would ban, unban, reban, all in a matter of days. It was an epidemic! I don't know everything, but realized just how much I DO know when compared to the self proclaimed expert Swamp.  It was five or six years years since I had even bothered to check in.

Odessa,
If you're looking for HotCore, he's pretty active on the accuratereloading.com forum.

Used to visit it daily, back when Jack Belk was actively posting there. Good site, way back when...before Swamp F'd it up.

I was a regular there under another screen name.
First came the mass bans, then it got silly, and finally got to damn clannish. I left five or six years ago, signed back in maybe six month ago under my current screen name but only posted a few times
I remember some of the good folks that came here here from that site. I guess we'll be seeing a few of the other types now.

Hi NC. See you made it over here. I've been hanging around here for a few years now. Pretty good group. You'll notice, though, that there's no Christian forum here. There was one for a long time but a while back a few got to bashing Catholics pretty bad so the owner deleted the forum. Too bad.

I've wondered why you didn't bail on that place long ago. You will see some old friends here. Hell, I remember when you got banned, but I promise not to tell anyone about it.

Hey Dick, don't need a forum to be a Christian. I registered here a good while back but just browsed until now. I see some familiar names of old around here. Looks refreshing.

I was a Mod for 6 months or so there around 2000. I quit going when they started asking for money to pay for a server.

Many years ago I went to HA, but to tell the truth I had forgotten all about it. I do remember, as others have noted, an obvious decline in traffic. I also remember him giving forums to certain individuals, which to me seemed counterproductive. Apparently the whole thing withered on the vine.

Some forums that disappear, I miss. Some I don't. Some I forgot about altogether (including H.A.). JMO, Dutch.

Swamp lost his mind on several forums, and lost some very experienced folks due to his "panties in a bunch" mentality. Good riddance.... I remember that too. HA was a great site, I think my first outdoors/huntshooting related forum. Remember it crashed? I was curious and went back today. Holy crap, it has, literally, 5 posts total. Is Swamp still the owner? There were some good posters there.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.
