    One regret I have, is not having seen much of Steve during his time as Admin.

    He was probably too busy to post that much, due to doing Admin-work!

    But the contact I did have with Steve - I thought he was a great bloke. And I'm sure he will be sorely missed.

    Perhaps he'll have more time to post now.
    I have admiration, for somebody that will give up their free time. To manage a forum. Or to help anyone or anything for that matter !!. Well done. But the owner should think about to incorporate, advertising manufacturers of shooting paraphernalia. In this site . So he could pay for the initial cost's of the site. And pay for site staff. From the proceeds of advertising. Just my take on business.

    The owners of the forum are JS Ramsbottom who sell airgun accessories. So if people buy ( and many do ) from them then there is money coming in to run the forum with out selling advertising on the forum.

    Joining the admin team from now on as Super Moderator will be Mr Rickenbacker.

    Welcome on board
    Steve, aka Punchsteve my fine fellow. Welcome to the 'Gamekeeper turned Poacher' club (lol), and welcome to the new Bobby on the beat, Rickenbacker, who I hope enjoys his time in the orange underpants and super hero cloak of the moderator team as much as both Steve and I did.

    Looks like this Rickenbacker is already taking his responsibilities way too seriously, last activity today at 2.45 am, there will be no escape by the looks of things. Seriously though mate good luck in your new role I am sure you will be terrific.

    Kindest regards
