What’s With All the Newbies?

[IronBeard]

As has been said previously, I welcome some new blood. Someone has got to pick up the "torch" when us geezers no longer can. I'm now of the age I used to think was populated with guys who were full of ___, so you can't hurt my feelings. Just be aware, some of us have some miles on us and will be blatantly honest. With me, that's not to hurt your feelings, that's to keep you healthy/alive. You'll be here when I'm not. So, welcome t' the war kid, don't get yerself killed.

Primate Virology Disorder.

Is that seriously what they're going to call it?

Actually the name has been changed so as not to offend anyone, imagine that !

WHO recommends new name for monkeypox disease

Following a series of consultations with global experts, WHO will begin using a new preferred term “mpox” as a synonym for monkeypox. Both names will be used simultaneously for one year while “monkeypox” is phased out.

did monkeys complain??

Wow glad you got that back. That rarely happens. I've had two guns stolen from me in Escambia County. I found the guy but never found the guns

you mean fatwood slivers driven under the fingernails and lit on fire doesn't work anymore to extract info from thieves/?

I am a 68 year old newcomer who has developed a passion for firearms later in life. My first purchase was from a policeman when he was replacing his Glock 22. This was about 12 years ago and have had to purchase a safe to hold them all now. Some my bride knows about some, and some have made it to the safe without her noticing. Have several milsurps but purchase new also. Have bought several off Gunbroker but it’s been a few years since my last purchase through them.

My main reason is just to see what others are up to, what they’re building, buying or have for sale. Living in lower Alabama I have access to some really nice used stuff.

I never think to go to the site until I receive an email. Enjoy the posts and seeing what’s up for sale

Just read through the comments which some of them were could for a laugh and some actually made sense not many lol but some. I’m glad to see the young people joining as well as those like me who have lived in 8 different decades or more

Alot of the " newbies" are previously kicked out jackwagons back to troll.

Interesting fact, not a single person I’ve met in real life was any thing like their internet persona. Most are much nicer in person.

 

[Southernlost]

I push a ton of people that I encounter to here ..fb gun sellers ..job site kids

 

[Southernlost]

It's a great place to meet people ..the forum has some cool people but also..some weird people

Funny how that works

Absolute truth right there. I think a lot of it is just f’ing around milking the lolcow and venting. It’s 100% pointless and mostly boredom (personally). It reminds me of a locker room or job site without people getting punched in the nose, like your Mike Tyson meme. Though it's hard to imagine someone getting too bent out of shape about what is said on a forum when it’s so easy to block users.

Really though I think most people hold back on their full opinion online more than they do in person. I know I do.

I was a member here before, but hadn’t signed in for such a long time, as life gets in the way. I stumbled across the sight the other day in a google search, as I regularly frequent a shotgun site, especially re-loading. I forgot my log-in credentials, and don’t have access to some formerly used e-mails, so I just re-joined. No harm no foul. I’m on vacation this week, so doing a lot of reading.

Things are rarely as good as they used to be....

Newbs just haven't been around long enough to realize it......
bro.....
lmao....

Almost forgot...

lol.

 

[Sixgun]

I still feel new.

 

[McMillan]

Signing a few more up to the “ghost” list… I just don’t get it. What is so hard about just telling someone you changed your mind?

 

[Snake-Eyes]

Seems like some of the newbs have taken an unplanned vacation.

Good riddance.
