It's been this way on the entire site since the other day when the terrorist attack took place on my site. Dunno if that had anything to do with it but for sure it's been slow ever since.

I'm glad that guy is gone. :evil:   When I first logged on, he started with his "posting."  I tried to stop him by making short quick posts, so as no one could see his last post.  Well, he caught on and he and I were posting at a rate of about 1 post per 1 minute.  In fact, I was posting so fast just to keep up with him that the software program told me that I couldn't post within a certain amount of time within the last post.  Finally, after my fingers got numb (and I had to go to court) I had to quit.

I went to the gun range today and I will post a topic on the Simmons Atec (I think that's how you spell it.)  Unfortunately, I have to go right now so I'll post it later.

I must have missed that "terrorist guy", but I am getting the itch to get the bass boat out.

Guys,I read the email address' he posted and mine wasn't listed. I don't know if that's because I use a firewall and other safeguards or not. I'm not real computer savy but try to cover mine. Something to ponder by the computer gurus and get the word out. His post was distrurbing to say the least. Dave

I'm glad the edit was still open. I got an alert on my firewall just after signing off.  IP address 66.168.223.80 FYI. I don't know it the incidents are related. Dave

well I know I have still been getting online a few times a day still, adn this is the site I go to everytime ha ha! he didn't slow me down.

TheOpticZone,
It was some guy that was making some rapidfire posts with some leud and obscene comments, pics, etc. It seems like it was a pain in the you know what for Graybeard to fix because there were so many posts. but they had it undercontrol in a day. You didn't miss anything worth reading. It was uncalled for if anything.
Cheers,

I guess I missed it too.  I am on everyday, but must have had bad timing.  No matter where you go eventually you run into a jerk who thinks that just because he/she can they have some right to do something.I am not an evolutionist, but people like this would be good proof that they came from some socially challenged ape.
