H&R CEO Mailing Address
« on: February 09, 2004, 04:19:31 PM »
I'm sure more than a few of us have sent emails to H&R complaining about the turn of recent events. Here is an address to the CEO of H&R. A handwritten letter to him could well have the decision weighed in a different light.

Of course, be polite, but be sure to tell him what the site meant ot you as a member and as a consumer. Many of you spoke of not making a decision to buy an H&R/NEF untill you read the board. The CEO needs to know this, and he needs to know what kind of marketing tool the board and site really is.

When I joined I was member 1238 (or something like that) That was a year ago. There were almost 4000 members when the board was shut down, and Marlin talk was over 12000 6 months ago. As much as we may like it here, nowhere near the people shooting H&R's will find us, and no where near as many will know just how good these little rifles are. That would be a shame, for us and H&R

JPH, I agree that the CEO needs to know what a mistake they made.  But at the same time, I can't help but think that even if they reinstated that board, WOULD I EVEN WANT TO GO BACK???  I like it here.  This is a nicer board with tons more features.  Not to mention all the other categories.

I think no matter what H&R does now, they've cut their own throats as far as the board is concerned.

Just my $.02

Wlscott well said. Even if they reinstate the board I have found a home here and will not leave. There is so much knowlege here you do not know were to start reading first. I'm proud to be part of the GBO family and glad we H&R guys have a forum of our own. :-D

:o  Thinking of the numbers of members at the old H&R site ( I thought is was in excess of 3,500 but was not sure)  I went back to check. The H&R site had 4,312 a couple of days ago and as of right now, 2//11/04, has 4,318 members with the last registered yesterday, 2/10/04 ( people are still rigistering not knowing it's closed). I checked the Marlin site and it shows 14,772 members with the last also registered 2/10/04!!  I will try to contact those newly registered members directing them here....<><.... :-)

I am with BBF, I see little point to returning to the old site, what has been cannot be again. We can only hope that Marlin/H&R/NEF realizes they have SITMK (PM me and I will explain if you can't figure that out) I have never thought their product is the best out there, nor have I ever thought it the worst. I do think that those that made up the old Talk Bord are some of the best people around, and I give my thanks to Graybeards for making a place here that allows the continuation of friendships begun there.

Got my new Lee mold and dies for my 45-70, and will be posting on them over the weekend.

Cast some up tonight, and will be making up some loads tommorow night.  See you around, JP
