What happened to AO?

[BigEvil]

That is a good question and the answer you will get will depend on who you ask and who they like. AO has indeed seen changes though, that is for sure. And not all of those changes were caused by new members or younger members.

I see what you are saying....

By definition though, if the "old" core is gone, doesnt that mean there is a "new" core to take its place?" (I feel like we are talking about an episode of Star Trek)

You are very correct.

The 'CORE' stopped posting....

I'm always defensive because whenever I express my opinion, even if it has nothing to do with a mag, a certain mod jumps down my throat and bans me for 3 days and says I have no rights. But he's wrong, I did the research. Because these forums are owned and run on US soil by a US company, my constitutional rights are intact. He said because this was a private forum, I had no rights. He was wrong. I thought it was a bit fishy, so I checked it out.

What "constitutional rights" are you referring to, exactly?

What?

It's a private forum - it's a piece of 'property' owned by Airgun Designs, more importantly TOM. They allow you to post here amd they can REVOKE that privilidge at any time with or WITHOUT notice.

Why don't you STFU and learn what you're talking about, before you start running your mouth again.

Your constitutional rights do not extend to this private forum. You agree to rules when you join, and the mods are the ones that hold all the cards. If you don't like how things are handled you can always leave.

In other words, your *** is theirs while you're here.

GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!

Let's give this example of your "rights"

Walk into a store, a public store, and start defaming them, calling them cheats, etc. but not crossing a line into obscenity. Don't leave when they ask you, even though it is public. When you are arrested for trespassing, see how far the Constitutional rights theory gets you.

its true, they own it and can do anything they want to do, period.

The core was based around 10-15 people that have been taken over by a new core. there has always been the trolls, flamers, smart butts, tech guys, noob helpers, and people that just like to throw in their 2 cents. They just have different names now, and some of the older member do not like them. Just because the old core left does not mean the new guys suck, they are jsut different. My only problem is that the ao forums are extremely biased against current trends and guns, but then again it is the ao forums so it makes sense.

I do not get mad at the people trying to lighten the mood (maggot, rk, and few others that know each other personally) but you guys are silly %100 of the time. Then suddenly you get serious about a post, which gets strange at some times. You guys help sometimes, flame sometimes, and just post funny stuff alot of the times. Make me laugh alot, but sometimes its bittersweet. I do not mind the back and forth flaming between anyone, its an internet forum, but its get stupid sometimes.

You have the people like rogue, tuna, coolhand, gadevil who support agd to the fullest and make custom products. They are teh best at the tech side of things as well as making you guns look great. I only wish these guys would branch out to other guns, but I understand why.

Then there are the guys that show up askign questions or just asking for advice. They have to turn off their computers bbefore they melt from the flames. People that have been around any forum knows that this happens regardless if you made a giant READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST sign on the front page. Just help them out and let them go....not that hard.


I know I can be an tool at times, but I only flame flamers......if that make sense. It doesnt help at all....but it helps the voices in my head.
