slowly & steadily gaining ground!!!
« on: May 29, 2005, 03:40:38 PM »
Only 24 posts separate us from the "other" forum in total number of topics posted. We passed them quite a while ago on number of posts and number of views. I still think we will be overall #1 on this site before the PD shoot!!! If we are, perhaps GB hisself will buy a round of soft drinks for those of you lucky enough to be going to the first annual shoot!!!....<><.... :grin:

The margin is only 10 now.  I think that we can make it.  It has been very busy today.

Yes it was down to 7 but now it's up to 9, 2 of our posts (topics) have disappeared!!! Lets not "cheat" guys, but honest posts of real topics/questions should be allowed....<><.... :grin:

WE can do it, I know we can, and we can do it the right way, we have another day or so before the last person scheduled for the PD shoot leaves, plenty of time!!!!....<><.... :grin:  :grin:

Well, I think at the AVERAGE rate of new topics posted to this site we will be the #1 windbags by the time the first GB Handiholic pulls into the very first PD town and sets up shop!!!....<><.... :-D

Each of the Forums on GBO's has a count of number of topics, number of posts, and number of views. GB has just a short time ago posted the real measure of a forums activity is the number of views (!!!). The H&R Centerfire Rifle forum has over 212,000 views, the next closest forum, one dealing with TC's, has 111,000 and the next has 99,000.  The H&R Centerfire section leads all other forums in activity with the exception of number of topics. Currently only a scant 4 "topics" seperate we Handiholics from being the most prolific posters and the most active group in all three catagories, #'s of topics, posts and views. We Handiholics are far and away the leaders in #'s of posts and #'s of views. It really means nothing but that's the answer....<><.... :grin:

I agree with you Mitchell, one more legitimate topic posted the this H&R Centerfire forum, and we, the Handiholics, are the all time Windbag Kings!!!
Of course according to GB hisself that which really counts and matters is the number of views, and we lead that catagory by over 102,000 over our nearest competitor!! And we have been here a much shorter time than "them". We are all gun enthusiasts though, and therefore all equal. We of course, may be just a little more equal than the average bear!!!!....<><.... :-D  :-D  :-D


I hope GB is getting ready to buy that round of "soft drinks" for all you
verbose Handiholics who are lucky enough to be going to the PD shoot!!!
 
Someone there please give that kindly old goat a big hug and "thank you" for me
for welcoming us all here to his great site when we were displaced will you....<><.... :grin:
