    Anybody know when old site will shut down?

    I was wondering as long as old site is running and posting, if we will ever get any significant number of folks on this site.

    Definitely, traffic is very, very slow here. Registration will take its toll and finding site in this melage of boards here will discourage many from coming and ever looking.

    I also wonder if a link can be kept posted and open on the old address to re-direct lookers and the lost to this site. Otherwise, we will loose most of the readers and posters. Then we will become like the 14 or 15 other "M1icon Garand" boards out there, with five members and even fewer posters.

    Sad to see the old board go, but change is inevitable. Probably will lose most and possibly gain a few new users. Don't know, but we ought to try to help those who came to Joustericon to get help for firearms issues.

    It will take years to rebuild readers and posters though. Sad, but likely true

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Don't know, but I hadn't been able to get into the old site for months. This one was a snap--considering my computer skills.

    So far both seem to be running parallel. I find myself checking both. I liked the convenience of the old site but I do not miss the spam..

    There is talk of trying to salvage it. Dang I wish I had the Culvers' address - I would certainly like to mail them a real Thank-You note. Old age... not a fun time for most of us...

    Angry Old site is DOA

    Efforts to salvage and/or reinvigorate the old site have come to naught. The old CSPicon is dead - all I get is the dreaded '404'

    So it goes.

    I can still log on but, IMHO, we should all move on. Sorry to see it go but this new forum is more to my taste.
    regards,

    The voices of many Jousters asking to keep the old forum running were silenced today. I'm done and logging out. Joustericon was great while it lasted, hate to see it gone.

    I believe that we all will miss all the great times we had on CSP1.
