Who the hell shut off arizonashooting.com

[Bigmalcolm]

I was wondering what really happened to that site. Rumors will be rumors.

I stopped reading/posting because 99% of threads turned into anti cop/anti law enforcement, regardless of how they started. Gets old hearing the same old song and dance from the same people. Maybe this place will be better, we will see.

Well anti cop is just an opinion, which is prevalent amongst the gun community. While I don't support the extreme side of it, I understand that their attitude is necessary to help combat the extreme left who think that ridiculous gun laws against "evil accessories" and other stupid restrictions do nothing.

I’m still surprised that the operator of the site did not maintain a secondary backup off site as a contingency to prevent a total loss from occurring.

 

[John Kuhns]

At this point, what difference does it make?

If it was a money issue he should start a donation page or a gofundme
I'm sure everyone would help out

I wonder if you could rig a paid membership with a 24hr jump on all new classifieds before they are visible to the non-payers.
It would probably have outfunded the google ads at like $5 a month and would helped to keep the site alive.

Really happy this site is up and running.

Running a decent forum isn't as easy as some people think. Way back in the day before the explosion of the Internet there was a thing called a BBS and then various "Nets" including FidoNet, Freedoms Net, Adult Net and I can't remember how many. I was a member of several of them and carried them all on my BBS. It was a PITA, especially a multinode system like I was running. Software updates, nightly maintenance, on-line games that updates always seemed to make inoperable, etc. The add in the small segment of users asking what did they have to do to get access to the adult section, blah blah blah. I ran a great board, had several hundred users, was a mail hub for several other nodes, etc. But it just took time and then as the Internet started to get popular the visitors dropped rapidly. It wasn't too long about the year 2000 when I finally shut down for good.

Very true John, much harder then just throwing a site up. Glad to see a new site is up and it will be for all of us to participate and make it good like the old days!

So be it, the old site was corrupt with backpage losers anyway.

I had good luck with buyers and sellers.

This site is run by the original azs owner? Could use some promotion on other sites as I happened to find it by chance.
