The other site is full of propaganda trolls. We all argue and disagree on some things yet we have common ground not found in the Marxist mind...

I leave the liberals alone there cuz I am working for VS when there and more active posters means more income for them. Here there is no income so that doesn't matter and I feel free to ban them with no hesitation.

I allow our one liberal poster here cuz so far they are staying within the rules. I don't agree with their opinions but allow them to post them anyway. Guzzi is a long time member and other than his different beliefs is I think an OK guy so I'd allow him here if he decides to post here.

Those other liberals from there would not be allowed to stay here.

I think I'm about to make my final separation from there soon. I stay there and do what I do there only for the pay check tho that check is now half what it was when we sold the site so not what the contract called for. Now I've not been paid yet for January and haven't even been given permission to invoice them for February. At this point I plan to wait the few more days of this month then tender my resignation and ask for pay for the two months I've been on their staff.

Once I sever that paid relationship I'll be free to ask folks there to come here to my new online home.

This site is now what that one used to be when we still owned it rather than what they have morphed it into since we sold it.

I for one make a point of never feeding the trolls. I waded into a discussion on the religion board on the other site and learned why there's no value in engaging these types. It falls into the catagory of wrestling pigs. You'll never win, they have experience with fighting in the filth....and on top of that, they enjoy it!

You guys are of course most welcome. This is a place I can come and enjoy spending part of my day here. The other site used to be but I find it no longer is.

Not doubt that Bill and Matt put together the best outdoor site on the www. I feel like I'm back home again with this reloaded version. I gave up on the other site some time ago. I never go there anymore.

I do have a question about the other site... did they shut down the politics thread? It just disappeared on me, and I can't find out why.

Nope it's still there. When they changed to the new software they are now using they changed up the order of the forum sections. The section with Politics and PBSF and such in it is way, far down the list now. You have to really go searching to find it.

I dunno why they did that, perhaps they are trying to discourage use of those forums.

When we first sold the site to Tactical Republic they kept the same software we were using like this on here. Then they sold the site to Vertical Scope and they almost immediately changed software which hardly anyone liked and then they made yet another change that just totally ruined the site for me.

When they made that second software change they also changed up the order of the sections and put the most used forums way down the forums index list.

Here I try to keep the most used forums higher up on the forums index list.

My biggest concern here is that most discussion is not about guns, shooting, hunting and the like as it used to be when we started the other site. I keep trying to post topics to those forums but they seem to not get the attention that topics posted to the Politics and PBS forum get.

I don't do any hunting myself these days as I just can't walk the hills anymore. I don't do as much shooting as I used either but do pretty much always make a post talking about it when I do go out to the range.

Maybe more of the posters there would move here if I ask them to do so. I can't do that tho while taking money from them. As it stands as I write this it is my intention to write to them at the end of this month to tender my resignation. I thought I did that at the end of last year but they apparently didn't understand it to be that. This time I tend to make it real clear.

So come March I plan to begin contacting folks there to see if I can steer more of them to this site.

I don't think they know how to run that thing.

In my opinion, a major problem with it is no involvement by the owners. Even their tech support guys don't actually work for VS but are contracted by them but don't actually work for VS.

I am supposed to be the link between the owners and the users of the site. Problem is I'm not technically qualified to do what they expect of me and they just don't pay me enough to do what is expected. I really have no quick access to any VS staff either. I have a single women who e-mails me about changes and such and I have to wait on her to "give me an assignment" to send in an invoice to be paid.

They just recently changed to that method of payment for all their non employee contract workers. Apparently almost no one was able to figure out how to submit the invoice as I got an e-mail to that effect sent out to all of us. Matt finally figured out how to submit mine for January but still no payment.

They have some serious issues and I think not having folks working directly for VS rather than everyone being an independent contract worker is a major mistake and has led to what's happened there.

When they changed the format and with all the constant fighting I called it quits and came here. I do miss some of the cannon posts but it was nice to see Double D chime in on a cannon question, he must be watching both. Gpa and his guns showed up here a time or 2 also. I wish more of the old regulars would join us.
