Hey all, I was on the old site and recently found this one.
As a suggestion I think you should get rid of this on all the firearm discussion forums:
I'm sure the goal is to encourage people to sign up, but I think it would be better long term to have the firearms sections public.
The idea being more posts = more search results = more eyeballs = more members.
If someone asks a question in the OP, the answer won't be shown to the lurker and I think instead of signing up to see it they'll likely just keep searching.
