......... The High Road is a little on the strict side as far as topics and responses go, where as many of the other general topic boards can get a little nasty. Possible too many Monday Morning Quarterbacks with emperor complexes........
Very true. I find that with a LOT of gun forums. And through the years many change. AR-15.com was one. It started out good, 20 odd years ago. Then it was taken over by all the 20 something mall ninja's. If it wasn't a Colt, it was a POS. M-4 Carbine.net was another one. Some years back there was so much arguing and banning going on over there, that Pat Rogers ended up getting himself banned. Again, now it seems to have calmed down quite a bit. Both of those got bad because of too many "experts" who never had a gun pointed at them.
Many gun forums have simply disappeared all together. The old Shooters.com was one. Hunt America was another. The Internet evolves just like most anything else. This forum is one of the constants. That, and it stays light. We're the kind of guys that could all go out and have a drink together. I think that, along with not being moderated like a bunch of high school kids in study hall, is why I like it here so much.
