I wonder if each of us were to contact some or all of the members that we have dealt with if we could get them to come back to this site. Just a hello we miss you at the old original sight. Yesterday I went back and looked at some that I have traded or sold to and there were quite a number. Dinny should be back on here for sure slowpoke slim some may have passed on who knows.

Dinny was one of the first to flee the sinking ship. He knew something I didn’t and he was pissed...

A site wide "We are Back" message here may get some of the people that had an account before it sold, unless they changed email addresses.

I had seen references to this site but no one had mentioned it in depth to how this came about until I saw Mr Graybeards resignation letter, I came over with knowledge of why this started, I don't get into political/religious dust ups even though they both interest/affect me and read them for knowledge.

Just wondering how many are not aware how this site came to be like myself, glad I looked into it, I'm still over at the other one but this will become my go to place for info, knowledge and entertainment, thank you to all who make this site possible.

Anyone heard from MSPret? He was another old timer I liked.

Graybeard · « **Reply #5 on:** April 29, 2021, 10:42:18 AM »

Yes if folks who have found their way here would contact other friends or just folks you know from there or even if from some other site would invite them here it should help.

The gal I turned in my resignation to asked if I'd mind expanding on why I was doing so and why members weren't happy there. I said sure, call me and gave her my phone number. Still haven't heard from anyone, don't expect to either.

It may take some time even though we don't have an email address My cell phone is tied to my computer and if I get a PM it dings and I can answer or go to my computer so that might work I sent a PM to an old member a couple hours ago fellow down in Louisiana that I dealt with a lot so we shall see how things go.

Oh yeah, I got some brass from him before.

I just sent PM's to MSP Ret, Dinny, hwb13 and Conan at the old site, those are some guys that were always good to me.

Go over to GBO2, PM them, send them here. If we invite them They will come. Go the distance. Ease their pain.

Graybeard · « **Reply #11 on:** April 29, 2021, 06:54:03 PM »

Kevin who sells the brass is local, well around 35 miles or so south of me. I'll PM him tomorrow and ask him to join us here. I've met him locally and gotten brass from him.

He doesn't seem to get as much as he used to. He had connections at an indoor shooting range and got all the pickup brass from there. Dunno if he still does or not but have noticed he doesn't seem to post the volume of it he used to.

Covid induced shortage from "non-essential" activity.

That covers it. I feel sorry for the range owners. Must be famine time...

I would say the same. Traffic way down between some who don't mingle now and the lack of products to launch downrange.

I went to the other site and you can no longer PM members there.
Longwinters quit the other site because Bill left.
I wish Conan would come back.

I already sent him a conversation, that is what they call a pm over there and you can still do it. Just click on your avatar/symbol? In upper rt corner and a list will pop up one of them being conversations, click on that as that is the pm system and create your pm.

I just joined up here a few weeks ago. I used to be over at the other site but have been absent from it for a very long time. I don't even have a clue why anybody left or what was going on over there so I am in the dark.

Land_Owner · « **Reply #20 on:** May 03, 2021, 09:20:56 AM »

Graybeard will be along shortly. He will set up your old user name and a temp password for reuniting you with this site and your former post count.

Great. Thanks. I used to be known as "Muskie Hunter" on the other site but it sure has been awhile. I tried to log in over there by my old user name and password but that didn't work there either so I just used Jump Master there as well and registered as a new guy.

Graybeard · « **Reply #22 on:** May 03, 2021, 10:55:09 AM »

I've assigned you a new temp password for the old account and sent it to you via PM to this new username. I also went ahead and updated your e-mail address on the old account. To do that I had to slightly modify the one on your new account. I figure you'll mostly use the old account from now on.

Thanks for the help. I think I got it right. Yep,that sure worked. Thanks again.

I think most people who vanish don't bother to cancel memberships. The members info is probably still up on the old site. Go over it and Email those you wold like to see back. Those you don't like no Email. I will keep posting there as needed.
