Shut Down the Site ? Or?

[Stone]

FT, congrats brother! Yeah, lets keep this place going! UW, you've been a rockstar over the years and hope you still chime in once in a while...

@UW, is Eric still behind the scenes doing the IT stuff?

[Stone]

@FT, sent you an email through regular channels...

[Stone]

If any long term members are still lurking out there would you mind posting up something simple like "still here" so we can gauge real world interest? TIA

I say leave it up. I haven't been by in a while. Some major life changes over the past few years.

With YouTube and Facebook killing off gun channels and pages I think forums will make a come back. They just killed my Page on FB. Their algorithm unpublished it and I'm still waiting on a decision for my appeal. The censorship is a reality. Especially Pro gun, Pro LE pages and channels.

I hope WEVO can stick around. Perhaps some of the better members from the suicidal M4C debacle will come here.

My posting is down since I may have only one new build in me and have upgraded all my ARs enough. Maybe a new scope or two down the line. I still enjoy keeping up with what others here are up to. And the (mostly) relaxed atmosphere appeals.

I'm still here. I'm definitely a lurker just taking in info. I've been busy since I moved fro. NY to SC. Many bumps in the road but I still stop in here. I would like to see it stay up since it's the only forum without dipshits arguing and showing their complete lack of knowledge

Thanks for stepping up, Jim!

Like I said, I'd much rather have an independently operated FORUM where open discussion is welcomed, than to be on a FACIALBook group to talk guns, and you'd sure as hell think more gun enthusiasts would come around. There is a depth of knowledge here that you can't find on ANY other forum because the best ones said "Hell with it" altogether. They're not on Facebook, or Instagram, most of them have never seen YouTube, much less gotten into being an influencer, although there are a handful of decent video makers, I'd still rather be here and not live in fear of censorship, or fact checking, other than one of you guys calling BS on a guess I might make on occasion.

If that sounds fuddy, FUCK YOU! I like my forums free of globalist influence. Sorry for the french but I do speak non-trans French fluently because my Great Aunt was the head of the French department at OSU.

Anyway, I think those guys on facebook wear skinny jeans and pose, rather than build, load, and shoot evolved sporting firearms!

"Anyway, I think those guys on facebook wear skinny jeans and pose, rather than build, load, and shoot evolved sporting firearms!" Hahahaha! Yeah, I avoid facebook like a plague... Looks like the general consenses is to keep things going here and AFAIK it seems we are headed in that direction!

[Joelski]

Good to hear, Stone and congrats on your elevation to assistant minder of the inmates!

Man, I stopped by M4C and that place is hard to even look at, let alone read. Kinda feel like the desire to kill that place is intentional, or the admin staff is colorblind. Either way, I'd like to see some of their few level headed guys make a showing. A couple that I have always thought of as worth reading are Papabear and MarkM4. There's a lot more, and I can't imagine they read the site with sunglasses..

[Stone]

Thanks brother!

[SINNER]

I still stop by and read some threads occasionally, but the bullshit required to just post a pic really ruined it for me. I think you could plot the drop off directly to that. It's just easier on other forms of social media

[Stone]

Thanks for the intel Sinner. I've had the same issue for a while and was just able to get resolved yesterday. The upgrade to Vbulletin 6.0 that's being worked on right now should resolve it. I fixed it on my end by downloading Duckduckgo as a stand alone browser, Firefox and Edge just didn't work and to be honest I am having other sites I visit work better with DDG than the other two ever did. Now, when I post here I once again have the full option option box above this box^ and even more options than I did before. DDG has come along way, their stand alone browser works really well but its the stand alone browser that people need and NOT the app or plug in.

[Stone]

This is another possible fix for members here but you have to be logged in. Click on settings> top of page, right side> click on general settings, left side, middle of new page> scroll to the bottom and under misc. options you have 3 different options under message Editor Interface, there is an explanation there of what they do. Also please go through your settings and adjust things accordingly as it will only enhance your experience here.

Two months ago the forum administrator asked WEVO members if the forum should be shut down. 12 members answered... about the size of a small AOL chat room 30 years ago. There's your answer.

At one time this forum had a stream of stunning firearm photography. No more. Absent that.... yawn.

Good luck.
