Wow Bummer, wonder if we have enough people willing to contribute to move from proboards to VB or something.

Was there actually something for sale in that section that Proboards gave as an example?

I found this in their guidelines section! www.proboards.com/community_guidelines"•Promotes the buying, selling, or trading of firearms or weapons;" Well, I guess that leaves any meaningful talk about Tok carbines or anything else in the trash can. |

hmmmm
I was having a hard time with the weapons sales thing as I could not find a particular instance of a for sale add...but I am certain we all "promote" the buying of by saying how great something is........it will be interesting to see how infantile and afraid of weapons they really are if they continue to harass what is basically an owners group. makes me wonder if there is a fencing forum and if they are treated the same way? or archery ? Sad times we live in.

Change the title of the page to Equipment or Machinery, they may have a scanner that pickup the (F)word firea*ms. We had a scanner at work that looked for numbers in the format xxx-xx-xxxx any thing like this they thought was a SSN.

I think get rid of the F word and all should be good.

I think we will be fine if we don't post any buying, selling, or trading of firearms or weapons threads.
It was my own doing that got us the warning. Sorry y'all, I didn't know we couldn't post something for sale.
If we get shut down here, I'll make a TOK forum over on my site.

I only just got here, but, I don't play well with self important ass hats that live to make rules for other people. The gun o phobes will be happy that there are people with guns that know how to use them, soon enough. until then, I'm on to greener pastures...

Actually, I really get I disagree up when people get to remove or restrict my rights in what used to be considered a public forum (internet)
For 30 years, in the military, I didn't have many civil rights. Now, as a freeman, I insist on having / using the full spectrum of my constitutional rights.
If Pro boards insists on controlling content from paying customer forums, I'll move on. I would very much like to support this forum and all it's members, however, I will not support the likes of Pro boards.
Sorry I bothered you fine folks, but I'm movin' on. If you move to a more acceptable host, I'll be back with a check.
Thanks for the ride,
Just another old redneck in Floriduh
Paul

It seems the first sentence in my last post was auto edited. In any event, it now bears very little resemblance to what I typed and was in sight when I hit post.
