    Out of every one hundred men, ten are Omegas and shouldn't even be there. Eighty are Betas - just targets. Nine are Alphas, the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one - he is the Sigma, and he will bring the others back.

      Right....and that's virtually impossible. Some facebook groups ask you to answer a few questions, and then the moderators look at your answers and decide if you're worthy or not. Anyone who wants to get in here could easily come up with acceptable answers with simple google searches if they didn't know. Do we make the questions so hard that only people with a long background in shooting could answer them ? That leaves out any new shooters who might want to get on the site. Believe me guys..we've discussed this to death over the years, and things are the way they are for a reason.

        How about the 'I am not a bot' thingy? It's been so long since I signed up, I don't recall if this site has it.

          I like the ones that ask you to click on all the pictures that have a...bus...traffic light....airplane....in them. Then they show you 9 pictures that are barely discernible from a Rorschach ink blot test.

              Captcha is stupid. 2FA would be better. Granted, this is just a forum.

                Still no word on anything from the board owners, eh? Too busy advertising deals on CGN?

                I really don't get this weird arrangement. I see Taccom is now advertising so Presumably the site sponsors are helping to keep the board running. But why hasn't SFRC chimed in since the change of ownership? Where's Telos and all the improvements that we were told about?

                Are suggestions and complaints being heard? I'm not asking the mods, and this is not a knock on them. I'm asking about the top dog who has yet to even say hello.

                  There are currently 219 users online. 7 members and 212 guests
                  Certainly not a record number, but the lack of response from the board owner confirms that there are no f*cks to give. Well done.

                  By the way, the privacy policy and terms of use need to be updated with the new company name. My understanding is Gun Owners of Canada Inc is no longer in business.

                      It’s always 500+ guests. I highly doubt there are 500 humans viewing this site all the time.

                        I once saw recently well over 800 guests and only 5 members online here at one time, at the moment it is 512 guests and 9 members!

                        Seems like being a member here offers few benefits when guests get nearly all of it for free!

                            Maybe it's people looking for info on TACCOM 2022?
