The BBS has momentum, no other forum that has started up in the last few years has managed to gain that momentum. Why? Because many people don't want the hassle of having to go to multiple forums.

Begs the question why fix what ain't broke? Just because some muppet has had his wrists slapped for talking nonsense and ruined it by getting drunk/petty. The question about having a HFT or hunting section pops up regularly and we always get the same answers that it takes too much time from the mods and isn't needed as general accomodates it. Now we have a new mod with loads of time on his hands I suppose that changes things, although I don't think Gareth realised the problems this section would cause him and the time it would take!

Personally the main thing I use the BBS for at the minute is finding a HFT/FT shoot and buying more airguns, everything else is just banter/nonsense. Albeit very enjoyable banter/nonsense with people I know. The amount of forums for shooting I have in my favourites list is huge so one more won't hurt.

Mate I'm not arguing for HFT announcements being hidden in a corner on the BBS.

I'm arguing against hiding HFT announcements in a corner on a forum no bugger (well not many anyway) knows about.

I know some people are pissed off with the decisions the mods have made (I don't know about the drunken incident TBH, PM me if you like). I don't agree with those decisions either.

I think HFT and the BBS have, for a long time, had a symbiotic relationship that's benefited both sides and I think both sides should work together to sort out this issue. Not one side sticking HFT in a sub section and the other flouncing off to a relatively low traffic forum (I know I keep on apologising Rob, nothing wrong with your forum, but that's just the way it is and it's central to my point so I have to keep on making it).

Spot on.Its amazing how many things I've picked up on speck, browsing through the general airgun section and coming across things of interest by accident.Possibly it might not happen now if I become selective on what I browse.
Nice shooting Monday Ryan.
