Please do. I need somewhere close to buy C&R guns from directly since all my other options have since dried up and ballooned in price. Haven't found anything worth a 2am piss in over a year.

Just asking if there is an update on the new forum.

Not a stupid question and in fact that’s my plan. Minor modifications but I intend to use the forum/sub forum lineup from here as a guide. I need to dig in and get started.

Looking forward to it.

Same here. It would be neat to run thru the new posts from both sites.

You all need ammo out there?

Still working on it. I’ve reached out to a friend that builds sites for some assistance. I probably could have figured it out on my own but it’s tough to commit to mentally after a full day’s/week’s worth of work.

It’s empty, but it’s done, I think. Feel free to check it out. Let me know what you think. It’s pretty basic so far.

I am hoping to work with WVCDL to get the word out with their network, and will also put some money into Facebook ads to start directing some traffic to it.

I’ve also got some business cards on the way to drop at any gun store I can find.

Just signed up and dropped a howdy note there.

NOTE: the user account process is typical WordPress, and easy enough to do ... BUT: the email from the system (with the new user verification link) appears to come from "WordPress" (not from the site's name). That's trivial to fix.

NOTE TWO: The sign-up verification email landed in my spam folder. That might be harder to fix. A lot may depend on how your server is set up (is it sending the email directly, or is it relaying the outbound mail through a trusted third party sender, etc). If you don't have all of the SMTP and DNS ducks in a row, a lot of your outbound alerts/messages may wind up flagged as spam - and you'll spend a lot of time dealing with cranky users as a result. So, look into that for smoother sailing.

You may want to modify the content on the account creation page (or on the "Success!" alert that pops up after the account creation first step is complete) to remind people that the email they're looking for may be in their spam folder.

Good luck!

Outdoor Sports sub forum mentions Maryland in the description. Assume that should be WV.

Thanks for getting the site going.

Thanks for getting it going. Just joined myself, hopefully I'll be living out there sooner than later

You need to add a "Real-estate for sale" forum.

registered and posted a bit. Passed the word along to a buddy who is huge in the WV competitive shooting scene, so hopefully that will help with traffic.
