Tell 'em "Come on out here and I'll be happy to let you have a look at 'em firsthand"?
LOL, don't feel bad Pharm.
Consider that IFish is owned and operated by VerticalScope out of Canada... they just bought Gun Hub (one of the oldest online firearms communities; its core group goes back to the Prodigy Shooting Sports BB in the '90s) within the past couple years, and there are times when I'm surprised they haven't tried to pull top-down crap on us. Then again, we're a well established "band of brothers," and if you step to one of us from the Old Days you step to us all, and they might be smart enough to know not to screw with that kind of cohesive community when it's acquired as a package-deal.LOL, don't feel bad Pharm.
I've wondered for ages how long you'd last over there. You did well actually.
I'm still there, but I don't often participate unless one of the loonies needs to be slapped down.
Their recent thread about the Bundys was one of those.
You should have been around I-Fish when Crabbait and STGrule were still mods. I was getting an infraction a month, and had a few "timeouts" as Jenny liked to call them. Most people don't know it, but STG still has mod powers and still uses them, discreetly.
There was this idiot over there by the name of Brion Lutz,... He and freespool would go off on enviro-rants that everyone but the liberal mods hated. And then the fights would ensue.
Crabby and STG ALWAYS came down on their side.
I had more factual content edited out of posts than I care to remember, and if the conservative side was winning an argument, one of the mods would close the thread, or it would just vanish into the ether. Like clockwork.
If it got too contentious but the libs were winning, they'd leave it up, but closed.
If it got contentious and the conservatives were winning, it disappeared.
Simple as that.
Then one day one of their pet posters got busted for molesting a kid at a youth fishing day that a few of the I-Fish mods had helped organize. It came to light that he had been doing similar stuff for ages.
The mod crew changed a lot not long after that.
I'm pretty sure that's why to this day, they have a policy of never allowing mention of a banned former member's name.
And the number of people that left I-Fish after changing their outlook from liberal or middle, to conservative, would astound you. I've heard from a couple of them, and they can't believe they ever participated.
I-Fish can be a decent place, with a variety of ideas, but once you get on the bad side of the in-house Gestapo, getting booted is easy.
Don't fret over it, you'll do fine over here, and your opinions will be of much higher value.
Well, except the one about pink panties and big game cartridges.
ETA: You probably don't realize this, but you once sent me an I-Fish PM, and offered to buy the beer, should we ever meet in person.
. I can't remember why I was booted from ifish it was so long ago but I do remember thinking it was quite lame and trivial.
It was worse when Jenny owned it. By far.
For the record, I'm not referring to other NWFA'ers--you cheese me off here, unless I feel a need to monitor you for potential referral to Mods I Ignore List you without further discussion, simple as that.
Triggered much, that wasn't directed at anyone just info on this sites policy.
Not triggered, just wanted that noted for the record since I noticed my signature chairshot disappeared from a post and a quote thereof.
Not trying to call you or anyone else out, amigo... just referring to some of the people who made somewhere that was once practically "home" the toxic soup it's become. 
Think they'd brownload their buttfloss if I showed up in my 5.11's OCing a brace of 1911s? LOL
