    I put this on the Falcon Forum yesterday as i feel that the issue should be addressed.I'm sorry that my efforts to get someone from the forum to sort the problem have so far failed.

    NO NEW MEMBERS

    Tue Mar 20, 2018 4:04 pm #1
    It was brought to my attention that prospective new members are unable to join this forum, Two people on the BBS have tried without sucess one of them for nearly two years the system will not allow them to do so. The Forum has become very quiet of late most probably because of the Facebook forum which i do not subscribe to. Unfortunatly if there are members going to Facebook who are unable to join this forum then what prospects has this forum got for the future ,i can only see one outcome as less and less people use it and it will inevitibly die a death which will be very sad. Can the Mods on the forum please address the problem so that we can welcome new members after all the forum is a mine of information and should continue.

    Thank you very much indeed for your efforts - they are very much appreciated!

    I do hope you are successful as I am a very reluctant Facebook user - I can't stand the format and really regard it as a necessary evil.

    I set up a Facebook account a short while ago just for access to a couple of groups that friends are on.

    I thought I'd join the Falcon owners group as well as I own and like an FN12.
    Although I was already a member of a couple of shooting groups, they blocked me.
    ...... They can stuff their group.

    All of the above.

    You taking your fn12 and going to play at home? to be fair it does sound a bit snooty!

    Mate, I'm heart broken, I was hoping for some new niche mates but, it wasn't to be - I'm stuck playing soggy biscuit with the FN12 on my lonesome

    To be fair though, it's a cracking little rifle. It may be old but, it's very slick and accurate. I'll bring it out next time you're down here.

    All of the above.

    I feel like fx will have fallen from grace, Ted will have given up shooting and tony belas will just be a name of some long gone person associated with a long told legend of a gun manufacture called day state & The airgun holy grail by the time I manage to get over to you again!! Lol

    I have just posted your comments on the Falcon Forum hoping that it will perhaps get someone to do something about the problem. I live in hope.

    Is it a technical issue, a health issue or a dog in the manger issue?

    Thats a good question as i hav'nt had any diffinitive answers just answers that skirt round the questions and a few answers that start with IMO. Pulling my hair out now, its a great shame as although not a very active forum the guys on there are very helpful and have a great amount of knowledge to help people out but if it carries on without new members it's going to die a death IMO.

    That's good news as so many threads on this site refer the query back to the Falcon Website. The hope is that the cumulated knowledge can be more readily accessed in a user friendly environment!
