I win!
Dunno, your last post reads #41 on my list of topics.You count posts funny, but then is says 40 posters, not 40 posts
Really? Let me quote you from this very thread:I could care a less about any contest, prizes and or other so called winnings.
You are correct about the moving, but not about there being no topic. This thread was created to ask the moderating staff if a buy/sell/trade forum could be created specifically for muzzle loading items. No matter where it started it rightly belongs in this forum and therefore was moved here. Does it really matter who moved it? And I am well aware that you didn't move it because you joined two days after the thread was created.Clearly the post and thread is about a place to trade black powder related items. So far as I am concerend the prize isn't related to black powder items, and or much of anything else.
Just about everyone was posting as play, because there is no real topic.
The area this post is in, as you well know is suggestions, questions, and tech support. The mods moved this thread here, not me.
Irrelevant.I am a mod on line myself, and I sure wouldn't have placed this thread in this area myself.
Most of that was understood as the items that would be in such a forum. However, our forum will not be one to barter for kitchen gear, lodges, and the like. TFL is a firearms board and even in the BP forums, that is and will remain the focus.Never the less, my interest would be a place to trade for black powder related items somewhere on the web.
Some items to trade related to black powder to me are lodges, kitchen gear, fire irons, wooden, leather, horn, antler, guns, hawks, knives, trade silver, and cloth materials. All related to history, hunting, both modern and period.
All true. I guess that's why I'm puzzled why you started throwing your weight around as you have accused us below so soon after you joined.I am new here, and I know what happens to new guys at sites as I have been a mod on line since sometime in the year 2000. There is always a period of adjustment for anyone new to find his spot on any given board, and get used to how the board runs..
Well you can take this to the bank - this is how things work around here. TFL is a closely moderated board. If we see things that are in the wrong place, we move them. If we see folks chatting in threads about a completely different subject than the original post was about, we either give a gentle warning or we close or delete the thread. If we see folks deriding others, using ad hominems, or simply contributing more noise than signal, we ban them. What you call throwing our weight around, we call good moderating.Now to me it looks like you, and the other mod, are just tossing your weight around, because you can. If this is the way things in general work around around here, then I would be on the wrong site. If this isn't the way they work in general then maybe this site is ok, but I can't tell yet.
Speak your mind as much as you want as long as you stay within the forum rules when doing so.They say people will never say the things they say on line in real life, but I don't care what they say. I speak my mind on line as I do in real life.
I have about 3,000 Buck Skinners that will tell you that.
No, it wasn't. The entire point was to ask if a certain forum could be added. No additional rhetoric was required other than perhaps describing some of the details of the requested forum and showing additional member support for the request.The entire point was to squeak alot, and get the place that now has been given wasn't it?
I'm afraid that's obvious.I don't care what you do to the thread, me, and others really, as I haven't invested time and thinking here much yet.
I don't intend to lock this thread unless the posts drift off topic - again. I'm not sure if your last two sentences are a threat or just good natured jabbering and posturing, if the former, it is not welcome here.You can lock this thread, and ban me and it won't make any difference to me yet. If you do, you better not also be a Buck Skinner at any events I attend, or you could find an old skinney guy at top yer lodge. It wouldn't be the first time I was a top somebody's lodge yelling for my horse!
