[glow=red,2,300]In the past we discussed moving to a new board since Doug hasn't been around for a very long time and we needed more control to manage our board, so edge made up a new board and we are in the process of getting it up and running. In the next few days we will post a link to the new board and lock the old one. The old board will still be readable but you wont be able to post. We encourage everyone to use the same name you use on here so everyone will know who you are but if you want to change to a new name then feel free to do so. More later, Mike[/glow]

With the exception of the address you will be hard pressed to see any difference!
It is still Doug's Message Board, except the moderators have more control and can add features.

I was hoping it would be called "Edge's Goat Barn"  . Looking forward to the change. |

I will go along with the change provided that the recoil lug is perfectly square with the format and not just a stamped out deal. Ozark

It doesn't matter Ozark, as long as the old thread is threaded perfectly into the new one, they will be perfectly aligned!  |

Clearly you can't measure BEND with a micrometer, but you knew that too! edge. PS that thread is dead...IMO  |

Edge's Goat Barn with square machined recoil lugs. That sounds great. Not to mention failure proof bullets........life will be grand. |

Don't worry, if you did not have that avatar that makes me laugh every-time I see it you would be long gone ;D ;D ;D
OH, by the way DB, That has always been under my control.....but in all of my years I don't recall ever banning anyone...and if I did it was never without a unanimous decision by the moderators!

I'll come on to the new board if you will make a few simple rules: 1) no single powder loads mentioned - they're dangerous, 2) no 50 cal loads mentioned - out-dated, too big a caliber, and probably wouldn't shoot well, 3) Can't report on those dangerous bullets that go all the way thru a deer, and 4) No little bitty groups shown because they can be depressing to the rest of us.

Don't recall, either, even though you had every right to do so. Just glad the jack@$$ bowed out on his own. You have taken plenty a good-natured "ribbing" very well. ;D ;D |

I read only on the first, actually registered and bought in the second, may have to get a Pac-Nor to commemorate the third! I am like SW couple rule changes and I may follow: 1) no duplex powder loads mentioned - they're too efficient and not to mention claims of being easier on the shoulder, it just ain't manly to shoot 'em you need something with lots of recoil, 2) nothing under 50 cal loads mentioned - they shoot too well and depress the heck out of me, not to mention shooting light bullets is for sissies, 3) And no more pictures of those bullets that failed, you know the ones, they didn't exit the deer but killed 'em anyway, just ain't ethical and 4) "No little bitty groups shown because they can be depressing to the rest of us.", stole that one from SW. I think that about covers it... One last one though... 5) Barrel Coolers - every new innovation, idea, etc., no matter how slight, must be well documented with pictures and every detail enumerated and debated as to it's effectiveness. That should keep the non-barrel cooler guys away. Bunch a heathens! I need to build me a barrel cooler...  |

Good question! The search is the search. The problem is that this site has been upgraded a few times and each time the search gets degraded by links being severed. A new fresh board will be easy to search. I am working with ProBoards for a reverse search of this website. Stop crying! If they can't provide it there are some alternatives...but not as clean  Better? Are Blonde's better than Brunettes, well yes so that was a bad example! Are Redheads better than Brunettes, well yes so that was a bad example! I guess that I don't know, and we will have to see. I made one last attempt to contact Doug, and to negotiate with ProBoards....another day or so and I think that we will be ready to roll. Thank you to those that have offered their services, and Jeremy, Mike and myself will give consideration to all that want to get involved. We have not decided 100% how we will work the future board, add/subtract/consolidate/expand boards. This will be a process.... edge. |

Man. I haven't always agreed with Edge, but the deal with Redheads makes me a new convert, and blind follower. I will hedge (what a word-pun) on his every word. Being paranoid, I always wonder if this isn't some veiled attempt to get me to shut up? If I never show up at the new site, you'll know.........sniff. SW and FH, I do get a bit tired of the snobby shooters posting all those dead targets with one big hole in 'em and then read about their claims of shooting in 200 degree heat, 75 mph winds, at 900 yards, with a .468 caliber Pacman barrel, shooting 54.444321 (only) grains of Ground Wheaties #5 with saltpeter, and a 220 grain Pullet Prize Bullet. I gots a stock, plain old MLII in the caliber that the Good Lord intended (.50) to be shot, and I'll be happy to shoot against anyone here at any distance, for a nickel a shot (gulp, did I say that outloud?)....I think we need to separate the new site into two areas........PLAIN and EDGY! |

Speaking of redheads, be careful. Once I clicked on a site that I thought was going to be about redheads, ducks etc. It certainly did not turn out that way.

Speaking of redheads, be careful. Once I clicked on a site that I thought was going to be about redheads, ducks etc. It certainly did not turn out that way. I know what you mean. Back in the mid 90s I was at a computer customer's shop correcting a problem with her internet connection. When I got it fixed I clicked on a previously visited site from her business computer. It was one called "whitehouse.com" which I assumed was some kind of political site.  Turns out it had absolutely nothing to do with anything political. Was all about "redheads" and the like and my customer was looking over my shoulder.  I guess back during that time that was appropriate.  |
