I really liked the old Culver forum.

But when the Culver forum went down, a lot of us came over here to Milsurps. Milsurps supported our forum and the classified forum. Without Milsurps, we would not have had a site to go to and discuss our hobby. I have grown very fond of the Milsurps site.

When the Culver site started back up, I rushed back over and signed on.

But to be honest, I now have more loyalty towards Milsurps. Besides our old people, here we have also met others who like Carbines. I open Milsurps every day and sometimes a few times a day. Where as I probably only go to the Culver site a couple times a week if that.

Milsurps supported us when we were without, it would feel fickle to run back to an "old girlfriend" who came back after she saw I was happy with a new girl.

Just my opinion.

I actually like the new forum here at Milsurp. The old CSP forum was harder to use and follow threads, and less polished. I came over here after they went down. I didn't realize they had started back up. They are still down.

Not only that, but Badger really does a great job with this site and I remember when some people complained about different things about this site when he first took after the old CSP site went down. He had the patience of a saint in trying to please those complainers and/or to fix the problems. And even set up a fund to help CSP get up and running again. My hats off to him, Ray

I have to agree, Jim. I do still use the CSP Forum, but I think the discussions are a little slow over there. I have had posts over there that nobody has replied to. I'll post the same thing over here and get quite a few interesting and infomative replies.

I think it's kinda like when we left the old homestead. After a time we all found new homes for ourselves. We visited the old place from time to time just to see that everything was ok and to catch up with their latest news, but then it was time to go home to our new homes.
That new home for many of us is ....... here.

Just a thought,

Phil,

That is a pretty good analogy, I left for the service at 18 and never went back home to live when I got out. I would visit my mom, but by then I was married with my own family and home. My mom died in 1999, I still drive by to see the house. In fact I was just by there yesterday. Looks the same as I remember it in 1954 when I was 5.

But the difference I see here is that we didn't leave the homestead, it left us.

Here, a lot of us have set down new roots and they are growing. We have met new folks with simialr interests. There is an old quote " You can never go home again" It's From "A Death in the Family" by James Agee. The full quote is "How far we all come. How far we all come away from ourselves. You can never go home again." I still drive by the Culver forum. I want to see if there is anything new I can learn that hasn't been posted here. But for another analogy, this is my new carbine home, and family now.
