I just like to be a smart arse once in awhile and can say things hear that might incite a riot on my Face book account with some of my distant liberal friends and my one nephew that I am SOOOOO disappointed in. Fortunately, my other nephews are good conservative young men, some who have served in the military in those 2 little troublesome countries in the Near East or other laudable organizations.

Oh yeah, I get paid to have an opinion once in awhile so by spouting off for free here I am improving the economy....err, well, at least according to Obamanomics.

Plus I do find this forum entertaining and informative, besides, trolls are funny peculiar critters who make me grin with some of their inane chatter.

My post count is quite low compared to other members and I find that interesting because many friends and family tell me that I talk too much... I suppose what keeps me from posting sometimes is, " It's better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt". I feel some need to take note of that saying before they start a useless debate like which is better AR15 or AK47.

 

[Callidus98]

Maybe some of the new folks are trying to talk to other new folks because they have that in common and can maybe find a shooting buddy. Or maybe this forum is soooo important to their lives that if they don't have a big enough post count their 'friends' won't like them.

Yeah, that's it... you peeled us like a grape, you did... now I feel bad, BUT... I love AR's and AK's almost equally, as I own seven different AR's and four different AK's although one AK is an NFA SBR and I also have a .308 Galil (super-Isreali AK in essence) which is like 1.75 AK's by itself, so I guess that actually equalizes things... that is until I get around to SBRing my AR pistol, then I'll have to get another AK (or two)... Damned OCD, now you ALMOST made me feel bad AGAIN, except the pride in my high post count (and the better part of 2,000 "likes" HOLY CRAP), arrogance, and anti-social narcissism has balanced it out... ahhhh, NWFA makes me complete!

 

[Mikej]

2000 likes!? Far out!

 

[Stomper]

2000 likes!? Far out!

Yes, the better part of 2k... currently its a 41.2% garnered "likes" to posts ratio... I'm just Mr. Popular at the ol' virtual gun range... like Sally Field (le rowel-rowel) said @ the Oscars years back; "you like me, you really like me!"

 

[Jerry]

Geeze....I wish Guilty who started this thread would get back in the conversation.

Oh...add another post for me!

Nah, let's jazz it up here.

AR-15 in 9mm, AK-47 in .45 ACP, or an FAL in .500 S&W?

 

[Stomper]

Whoa... Doesn't .500 S&W rounds cost about the same as .50 BMG, round for round these days?

 

[dolooper]

Why is it that some new members fell the need to pad their post counts by countless replies to other new members? Do they want to look like the popular guy at the gun range? Participating on the forum isn't a popularity contest is it? Please share your opinion, I don't get it...

Everybody who's anybody knows that post count means squat.

The only meaningful measure of value is join date.

 

[GOG]

It's the quality of the content posted, not the volume that matters most.

I think supporting membership is important as well. As far as join date, I agree it can mean something. For instance in my case it pre-dates my move to Oregon by two months. I joined while on the run from the Kaliban.

 

[Stomper]

You just keep telling yourself that, but size DOES matter.

 

[Oklahomie]

Oklahomie leveled up!

I have the power!

 

[1BigGuy]

To paraphrase Gog above: It's not the SIZE of your post tally that matters,
It's the way you USE it.

 

[Netspirit]

It's not the SIZE of your post tally that matters, It's the way you USE it.

So you just compared us readers with what, exactly? )

 

[Kruel J]

Donations are reasonable and help the site operate.
It shows people you are serious about yourself joining. Its not required, but there are a thousand gun forums out there.
And anyone that will plunk some cash to support NWFA is ok in my book.

I've plunked down cash, more than once.

 

[Bon Sauvage]

I was going to post something meaningful here to enlighten my fellow firearm enthusiasts and increase my post count but I changed my mind.

 

[unklekippy]

My 1,000th post. Who's cool now, beeotches?
