    That would be more than spinning. In your own words... 'dozens of others' says it all. There's a reason for that, and some are a year or older.

    Speaking of 'recent' - I could just direct any newcomers to this one, which has been running since October 2024:

    Calguns has gone from being the premier Calif gun site with so many incredible guys, who have many years of knowledge and are a phenomenal resource. Now I'm lucky to log on in 10 tries, then it takes a minute to load a page, but most often I get a 504 error. Is it lack of money or is it a crappy server or do the owners of CGN

    As I said, start your own thread and we can argue (again) until the cows come home.

    Continue what you're doing and some are likely to lump you into what they feel is the group attempting to... well... not act in the best interest of the site while venting their spleen regarding their own, personal frustrations.

    As I indicated, there are problems. How big and encompassing is a matter of opinion, not necessarily fact as they are tied to personal impressions more than actual circumstance, and this isn't the thread to be expressing them, but to acknowledge and welcome new members. Were I an actual moderator, I'd likely have removed your posts already. Put another way: You don't suppose there's a reason why Kestryll is no longer replying to posts? Just something to think about.

    So, again, welcome to the new member.

        Hi! I finally made it, I've been trying to register for months. A guy I met while purchasing a gun (PPT), who's been on here forever, told me registration was working again and he was right, awesome!!

          Welcome.

          it is a great place when it’s working.

          There have been computer issues so it will not open up at times.

                  There's no argument - I posted facts. You don't like facts, and you never have. Spin, spin, spin.

                  And you are not a moderator. Another fact. I know you don't like that either.

                  So piss off.

                  If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?

                    I acknowledged that I'm not a moderator and alluded to the idea that you are taking advantage of a dearth of moderator activities. So...

                    I also know that back in March you said...

                    Thus, you have an agenda, one which is not shared by everyone here and that agenda isn't simply about 'fixing' the place. It's 'fix it or else.'

                    Therefore, your suggestion as to my next action will be taken with that in mind, where "off" isn't necessarily the correct word.

                    Now, back to the thread for what it is intended to be rather than yet another vehicle for your agenda.
