horatio 515 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I lurk more than I post, but I have to admit I've noticed a LARGE number of guest members lately. Ie. we usually have 5-10. Last week or so I've seen 150. A day. I'd like to think its just an uptick on the interest in saigas. But no new members. Kinda curious since no new saigas for a few months. Anybody else notice? My tinfoil is quite snug and looking for suggestions.... Or is my phone just stooooopid? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Long Shot 1,287 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I only have one friend and I don't even like him. I have noticed the same thing though. Very light traffic on the forum as well. ????????????????????????????????????????? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 *checks profile* I have exactly zero friends. I also have a Saiga 12 missing its guts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 "Oven Tempered" or "Quilted Strength" type of HD aluminimunimm foil? Maybe our Forum is under investigation from various non governmental liberal socialist commie type hate groups? Perhaps the enemy has discovered us? Or ... is it just the Feds snooping around like they tend to do anyhow? Just me here, but I feel and think Saigas are "Gone With The Wind", will NEVER be reimported and that the S12 also MAY, (may) shortly be declared a Destructive Device, (DD) with a required $big$ NFA tax stamp.. Just me. Yikes. HB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skullface405420 45 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 It may not be the end of saigas if kalashnikov usa can build there usa made "saigas" anything worth a damn close to the russian originals. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They aren't stupid, they're foolish. Keeping tabs on their enemy is what they think is necessary to win the state. Most of the commies are union pensioners or union federal employees.

G O B 3,516 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I have 9 friends here - opinionated assholes like myself. I DO NOT do facebook or other 'social media' . If you suddenly have a LOT of new 'friends' that you do not know or remember, than you are most likely a target of nefarious scheme to jack your shit! Most likely some 'bots following your internet trail checking every connection they can find to exploit a weakness on any site you have been or regularly go to. Keep a close eye on all assets connected to your 'puter!!! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Don't forget that R&R is months away from USA made saigas. Also Firebird is pretty close to a 100% US made 1919 ~90% parts made already, and a couple other companies like T&N are maybe 50% there. Then there is Chaos with their US made gun. We still have the V12s being imported, and also catamounts, and Obama's term is near it's end. Good times people. The market and selection of box fed shotguns is not mature yet, but look at the growth curve here. Back in 2008, there was only one real choice, and people were arguing about which of the two brands of magazines to use. How many are in country, how many people have one, have used one or just want one? When was the last time you went to the range, and someone was shocked at the existence of a box fed shotgun. -- It still happens to me, but less often all the time. Knowledge = demad = market = market pressure = better stuff for cheaper, and easier to find. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate a good backhanded compliment. Also I take your point. It takes more focus and work to write a good concise statement, than to put the same info into a more voluminous work. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

horatio 515 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Sorry guys meant to guests. I tend to work in areas with no signal, and when I finish, for some reason I have to turn my phone off than back on to get it to dial or go online. When I do that and come here, I have to to scroll to the bottom to get the full version. Been doing that for about a year. Passing glance at members online was average. About 2 weeks ago the number of guests spiked. Massively. And has continued. A 1000% increase in traffic is noteworthy. Just wondered if anyone else noticed Sorry guys meant to guests.

sobrenegade 795 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 195 @ 7:22pm cdt. I wonder if the secret service after getting their asses handed to them on the last fiasco, are viewing the Funny Stuff-Off Topic section. I know it's not the same as an all night booze filled, taxpayer funded hookerthon, but you take what you can get. I'm probably wrong since there's a lot more hardcore sites than ours. Must be all our subversive talk. Sort of reminds me of the '50s when "Tail gunner" was going nuts. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tundra1 391 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Maybe a little off topic, but I've often wondered why I have 1800 and some odd profile views. Seems like alot for a member with only 300 something posts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobRez 1,895 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) It's all the ebb and flow of interests. When I joined the site, I can remember many times that there were Tons of folks on the sight at any given time. There are a lot of great folks with good, honest advice for any questions that one may have, involving most any kind of firearm, not just Saigas. Every guest is a potential future member.
