What happened?
I used to come here a lot to read about and learn about lever guns. Now, about 1 post in 10 is about lever guns. Guess it is time to move on.

Re: What happened?
Ok, well post something up then. Since day one the rules stated " We discuss most anything here...". Other wise congratulations, you just added to the non levergun posts.

Re: What happened?
I guess it's time for the "I'm quitting because there are too many 'Off Topic' posts" post.
We should just schedule these complaint-posts, and take turns posting them, or just re-link to the same thread periodically out of some time-worn 'duty' to the Ghost of Leverguns Past.
Personally, I LIKE the posts about welding, adjusting revolver sights, reloading, tractors, airplanes, and all the other "guy stuff" that MOST of us who like leverguns ALSO like...
When I'm not in the mood to see such things, I discipline myself accordingly, and don't "click" on them. There ARE plenty of levergun posts on everything from vintage walnut-and-steel ones, to modern 'tactical' ones, and from real-live hunting stories with leverguns, to range competition, repairs, and so on.

Re: What happened?
Probably just the season. Levers are more of a Fall/Winter thing. Now we are fishing and other stuff. I do take a lever fishing though. I have learned a lot here in addition to lever stuff. Don't run off too soon.
Re: What happened?
Wow! Now that the Lever Gun God has spoken I'm glad I found out I'm too stupid to post here. I may have inadvertantly said something interesting. Mebbe I should sell my leverguns and single actions and leave Leverguns.com 'cause I surely can't live up to Mr. Murbach's "requirements for posting".

Re: What happened?
Well Terry, I guess some of us are not quite the super person that you are. I have heard this attitude expressed before: I have 2,000 posts so I am smarter or better than you are! To me that stinks, we are all equal here, even if it is our first post or our 10,000th. Some seem to think of you as a character, but to me you are just plain rude. Manners are always nice. God Bless.

Re: What happened?
Well, we're starting to get quite a collection for the big 'pity party' that must be coming up soon.
Ya'll can get together and co-miserate about how unfortunate you are, or about how the whole big world is agin you, or you just plain ain't gettin' your spoon feedin' of tasty goop just the way you like it best.
I'll bet OI would lend you his signs for the git together.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

I still see quite a few levergun related topics. Maybe I work harder at searching them out... but then, I even ignore ones on leverguns that don't interest me... well... ok, I MIGHT read them... but if I've ever posted on a topic regarding the 1895 Winchester it would come as a shock to me!

I had been here a for awhile when the Original Marlin Talk (the factory sponsored one) went down, and the orphans were scrambling to find each other, etc. Well, we did not receive a very Christian welcome here.

Re: What happened?
I'm new here, but for what it's worth, I enjoy this site as it is. The main focus is lever guns, but I'm always interested in different things. I have learned about hunting in England, old fishing reels, missionary work in Africa, a kind of an eclectic mix of things. I enjoy my lever guns and this is the forum to go to for imformation. I don't post much because I feel like a babe in the woods. But I have learned alot here. As long as we don't get into Beanie Baby variations and the collecting of, I'm good to go.

Leverguns are... GUNS.
GUNS are POLITICS.
POLITICS is RELIGION.
Therefore Leverguns are Religion... and everyone goes to their own church.
Some have Bands, some Bells & Smells.
Some talk only Theology, some only Fluff, and many many more are in between.
Why should this site be any different?

He prolly read them, but there's no way you could know as much as he does about those guns (according to him), so those posts are meaningless...pwl44m wrote:Hey !! I was gonna use that. On the flip side "I LOVE THIS PLACE" I guess He didn't read about Roys 73 or Shastas 73 or My 73 or Ccash 94 and the list goes on..45colt wrote:Oh Boy Terry went and done it again,now I need to make lots of popcorn. .

Pretty good observation ---- haven't been to a rifle range in a while. I can generate a lot more on topic posts when i am actively shooting/experimenting and buying. Lately i have just been practicing mozambique drills at the local indoor range with my 1911's and .357's --- figured not many folks would be interested in that
