What's going on with the site?

[JRR]

Been down probably 50% of the last week.

Web hosting playing games because it's a gun site?

With almost zero traffic here maybe it’s not a priority?

this site had a lot of traction for a while, then it went stagnant for quite some time.

I still frequent it for "window shopping", but it should be re-vamped imo.

[JRR]

Maybe, but right now on a Thursday morning there are 71 people browsing the site.

I totally get the community here is nearly dead...I've tried to create interesting topics that have generally gone unnoticed and tried participating to not get very far. But it still is a very viable AZ selling site.

I don't know if this is completely free to run, but I doubt it. If it is I could see how little attention is paid to the site going down.

Perhaps it'd be best to start ditching the forum related support and go to a true "selling" site now that there's a vacuum due to Backpage/Armslist becoming obsolete. This state is in dire need of a centralized and modern site for everyone to get behind for gun related commerce, and while this is probably the best site out there, it pretends not to be. With some rule changes and moderation tweaks it could be a pretty impressive place if everyone gets behind it.

Rule tweaks for sure. Seen a few guys catch a ban for forgetting something in a sale ad.

that’s not helping being people over.

all one has to do is obey the rules right!

[JRR]

Yeah, it's the rules and rule enforcement that was and still is a pretty big downer. There are some good and some bad, but some people are way too rabid about them.

No one likes a gun range with rabid RSOs yelling at you for violating a range policy unrelated to safety. In the same vein, no one likes mods yelling at people for site rules that make little sense or have little bearing on the ads in question. It doesn't help anyone, but it does deter people from participating.

"If you don't like it go somewhere else!!!!" is all fine and dandy until you've scared everyone away and there's no one left to support the site.

It's NOT forgetting, it's NOT reading the rules!!!

Try this at Sturmgewher, you will be banned for for saying this, not here

We don't give bans, we first ask for folks to just "FOLLOW THE RULES" when they ignore us, we give them infractions, if the stupidity continues, they get banned!!

How freaking hard can that be??
