I have never been big on internet forums. I joined this one to gain knowledge of precision shooting. I have also joined other forums over the past year, mainly to gather information on various topics. The more I interact with other forums the more I appreciate the community here. I have taken it for granted, having polite, knowledgeable people on hand to help me asking nothing in return.

My most recent forum I joined was m4carbine.net. I joined to tap into some AR information and it also gives me another outlet to sell gear. Let it be known that I am a dumb kid and I am learning, life is a learning process is it not? I have been fortunate here to have more help than senseless berating. I was looking around the other day and found a thread that had the AR comparison chart. I posted something about how I thought BCM was a great manufacturer and would recommend them to someone seeking a quality and affordable AR, AND how I wished they made a piston upper. Apparently some people dont care to hear those words.

Check this out:

I always thought that forums had a variety of opinions, and usually had intelligent discussions. I have not witnessed any forums ganging up on a newcomer or anything of that nature.

So did I ask for this? Or is my skin alittle too thin?

I actually think it is kind of funny. I know that some people prefer DI, I think thats fine, I didnt think that some people could get so bent out of shape about it...kinda sad if you ask me.

Re: Forum douchebags

It's never a good idea to throw stones at one forum from another. Forum owners and mods don't want to get dragged into whatever you started elsewhere.

+1 and honestly I don't see anything wrong with what they were writing in response to the way you were making some the assertions you were.

Re: Forum douchebags

I wouldn't be offended by getting snubbbed by keyboard commandos.

Do you really think real professionals come to a web forum to talk about what they do or their AR's that have more crap on them than a christmas tree?

Re: Forum douchebags

I find it refreshing that the OP admitted elsewhere to running up a bogus post count there just to make use of their exchange.

Re: Forum douchebags

I have probably made 100,000 posts and read 1,000,000 posts on 100 gun forums over the last 15 years.

I see patterns.

If you don't moderate [like a bouncer in a bar] you get more noise than signal.

If you over moderate, it is no fun, like a one drink maximum bar.

Typically a forum will start out and die.
Some grow and have an energy.
Then it stagnates into the same old "Can I shoot 38 special in my 357 mag?" threads.
Or the forum gets sold to someone who says, "We don't tolerate that kind of thread here, anymore."

The problem is that it is easier to go to a forum than to do something new with guns. It is like the problem with parties. Those who have something interesting to say are too busy to party.

So you must challenge yourself to do something new with guns, and then when making posts, to try to be helpful, and look for something on the forum you can learn.

Or you can just go to the bear pit and spout.

Re: Forum douchebags

I have three conclusions from reading that other thread.

1) If you jump up and down hard enough, you may just be able to get MOST of the sand out of your vagina.

2) Some people over there have a stratospherically high opinion of themselves. A Mod over there has 4 quotes in his sig line. 3 of them are actually labeled from himself. Bwahahaha!

3) Reread conclusion #1.

So you think that is bad? Go join lightfighter.net. Everyone there has a real bad case of PMS. Although I will acknowledge that the moderators on M4carbine are mostly douchebags. A lot of them have that bossy policeman attitude.

Are you whining about whiners?
I had a dog that whined for wieners.
I would like to whine about my friend who gets banned from M4 and wants ME to sign up so the can use my identity and pass word. [My fight club alternate identity]
Some people are addicted to stirring in the manure pile.

He is talking about guys who act like assholes on a forum to assuage their personal sense of irrelevance in life.

Just curious but why did you bring a thread that had been dead for almost a year back to life with that statement?
