What's this MOVED stuff? This is supposed to be an open forum

[CSP ADMIN (Retired)]

Hello Loius....

Yes, it is open forum, for Gun Talk, os the description states, a "forum for general conversations about guns", as in the ones that go "bang".

We've received a significant number of complaints from other members that content unrelated to guns was being posted amongst other forums, including this one. Upon clarifying the intent with Gloria, we've been asked to try and keep the forum content relatively focused on the forum titles and text defining what should be posted within them. It sure makes it easier for people, or we might as well just have one large forum.

For example, the 2nd Amendment, Political & Off-Topic forum is intended for discussions about politics and the 2nd Amendment, plus OT (off-topic) material that doesn't fit elsewhere.

The moved threads that were originally posted in the Gun Talk forum have not been deleted, but may be found in their entirety in the 2nd Amendment, Political & Off-Topic forum, as that forum was where topics of that content nature were meant to be posted. The moved placeholder is designed to be a guide to help people who originally started reading a post in one forum, to easily be able to click on the link and go directly to the thread and continue reading it.

Im sure there's posts that are borderline and could be relevant to either forum, so if there are any of those that you feel are "mission critical" to be placed in a specific forum, we do apologize. Let us know and we'll move them back if appropriate...

We'd appreciate everyone's cooperation is helping us maintain some common sense guidelines.....

First thing is that I thank you for giving us a home and will play by your rules! But I would like to go into the history of this forum. When Gloria started Gun Talk it was one big forum that covered everything, but mostly M1's. The 2nd Amendment forum came into being when an anti-gun type started posting and the discussion was overwhelming Gun Talk. If I have time I read the Second Amendment Forum and post to it, but I read this forum first. If Gun Talk was held to miscellaneous gun items, there would be two-three posts a day and the forum would die. However this old dog will play by your rules.
