Welcome home to reloaded! Happy to see you here!

[ironglows]

Thanks, Old Man..i The old site is hard to navigate, so I guess this may well be my main roost now!

[The Old Man]

Once the "upgrade" on the other site, I bet we get a bunch more of the old crew.

[oldandslow]

Well, I'm back too. When I saw your user name I just thought you had morphed into two people.

  welcome O & S, glad to see you !

[The Old Man]

Hey OldandSlow! Good to see you here!

[Land_Owner]

Good to "read you" again IG's (plural). 


I've known about, but have sparingly used "Reloaded".  It is a quirk of my own making.  I have overlooked this site in my loyalty to the old.  There is no reason to differentiate the two.  They are both alike - but different; both relevant.  I have been searching for greater opportunities to post and respond on line.  I have found it - I never lost it.  The dichotomy is ironic.


Perhaps "Reloaded" will become my "Main Squeeze" after the change to the old site.  IDK.  I resist change too, but when change becomes an unattainable overload, the world looks gray and my usefulness in it diminishes rapidly.

...I know just what you mean, Richard..  This site seems to beckon stronger these days.  All it needs are more thread starters, and it seems they are arriving, even now !

I don't intend my posting to be as strongly negative as they seem to read. I have stopped posting on all the oter sites but this one, and one more unrelated site.


My contention is that change is always inevitable, but not always desirable, and you either change with it, go elsewhere to a site that better suits your needs, or find a new hobby/pastime.


For me, reloaded is preservng the type of forum I can relate to, even if there are some things I've yet to figure out here. As for the other forums, I see them taking a more complicated turn which is likely going to serve the younger more computer savy generation in the way it has the older fellows who have no desire to further advance skills.

Anything you haven't figured out ask. I'm sure one of us will be able to help with your questions. We used this software at the other GBO from around 2004 to 2014 I think it was so I'm pretty familiar with it.

[The Old Man]

Thanks Bill. I'll keep it in mind. It's mainly trying to post pictures, but Elaine has it figured out, (only gets them upside down once in a while), but I'm just too hard headed to learn when she shows me.

[DEACONLLB]

I have been on here for several months now just have not been posting except on single shot rifles this sight was always the leader back when I came on board in 2008 but we do need to step up and help Matt with support.

From Landowner;


  " Good to "read you" again IG's (plural). "   Actually LO, I prefer to view it as a verb rather than a plural...because after steel reaches a temp above about 1500 F and beyond, it rather glows ! 

[DEACONLLB]

So good that you are back but are you saying that when you get hotter than a fire cracker you glow   I don't glow but I do sweat a lot.
