chevyman097 2,579 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Haven't been around much, life n stuff. Maybe its for the best. General discussion seems to be the new latest news and political discussion section. Sure isn't very saiga forumish last few times Ive dropped by. Guess ill go talk about guns and fishing and outdoorsy stuff while you all enjoy bickering about politics and what happened on todays new episode of The View. is Poly still ripping people off?

Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Pauly is old news, no need to beat a dead horse. The ban on most Russian weaponry put a big dent in new members. Most of us have our Saigas more or less complete so about all we have to do is talk politics and other balled-up sheet, fishing and cooking stories, occasionally posting pics of our guns and answering the infrequent newbie questions. Basically it's the gubermint's fault so we talk about the gubermint. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Run all the people off that don't want to hear your shit." I'm seeing the trend. Hate it for the ones left from way back. Seems pretty draining and mind numbing.

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Heartbreaker nailed it, and yes, he is new blood here. We still talk talk gun-stuff and try to offer advice. This has become a social network for those of us that don't facebook or tweet. Members posting the latest political news that others might not see or be aware of. If it was only about Saigas and not friends talking, this site would be a ghost town. We all know that the Political Section is where posts go to die. Want to change the topic? Contribute fresh material. Always liked seeing you around Chevy. Edited July 28, 2016 by Sim_Player 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chevyman097 2,579 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) We all know that the Political Section is where posts go to die. That was for a reason. There is a reason this place is a ghost town. This was always a place of Saigas and guns not politics and current events. Sad to see were it has gone.

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Saigas were banned. Attendance is down... Not much else to say. I appreciate the folks that stuck around, regardless of what they post. Lame posts get no replies and die quickly. Edited July 28, 2016 by Sim_Player 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
netpackrat 566 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 What Sim Player said. If you want to see more posts about Saigas, make more posts about Saigas. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) "View New Content" is very handy if you want to filter old BS threads. Happy to see you around again! What have you been up to? (Feel free to start another thread.) ~Sim Edited July 28, 2016 by Sim_Player 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi Chevy! Yep, pretty much dead around here. The ban was the last straw, the camel's back is broken. But I'd be happy to talk shooting, hunting and fishing with you. Or maybe even... cooking. Lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 If the Russian sanctions are squashed or a US company starts cranking out Saiga 12s that are as good as the original, this place will fire up again. Never say never. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChongus 765 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I got more into ARs in the past two years, but I'd still rather stick around and talk random bullshit here than join some operator-infested AR forum. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well pretty much in my free time im either shooting or fishing. I dont forum much anymore. But that last few times i dropped by there has been much interesting to read. I hope maybe it picks back up. Was a great forum full of good people. Always loved seeing what was being built or given away. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
semper299 284 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I got more into ARs in the past two years, but I'd still rather stick around and talk random bullshit here than join some operator-infested AR forum. Yep. Totally agree. I've been here about 5 years and converted 3 x39's entirely from advice and instructions from this site. I do miss the constant flow of new members and their queations, and I really miss some of the people that used to be major contributors to the site but areally now gone. Like you said, I'd still rather shot the ship here than just about anywhere else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I do agree with the "Post it and we'll talk about it". Distalradius popped in to say hello, he had pics of his S12 SBS in a new configuration. It was really nice. His thread has been active, educational and exactly what we used to see here all the time. Post it and they'll come. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

montec 164 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Rap it and we'll move it to political if anyone feels something is in the wrong place... Getting into that forum is a pain. So far is all been pretty civil and informative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 We could always change the name to "The detachable mag-fed shotgun forum". Add stuff like the new Turkish guns, ddi 12, more on the catamounts, Standard Manufacturing SKO (not out tho), Genesis 12 and whatever else comes out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Add stuff like the new Turkish guns, ddi 12, more on the catamounts, Standard Manufacturing SKO (not out tho), Genesis 12 and whatever else comes out. The fact is a lot of us do have converted Saigas rifles or shotguns. The fact that they have been fun and are exceptionally dependable and also now a rare gun I think makes us close here. I like building guns but my Saigas will always be high on my favorite list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Guns that you have done a lot of work on hold more sentimental value. Plus a magfed semiauto shotgun is just fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, sir, I belong to an AR forum that is very operator-free. Of course, you get the occasional newcomer with their NcStar lights, lasers and optics with pressure switches running country miles to the folding uber-tacti-grips, but for the most part, they all follow the "Keep It Simple Stupid" rules (K.I.S.S., they call it). Somewhat like this forum, though, they've become a tight knit kind of community, but for different reasons. Theirs being that they are the somewhat lesser known AR forum, but they are extremely knowledgeable people on the subject. Shoot me a PM and I'll give you their URL if you're interested in joining.
