Riflechair Youtube Channel - Shutting Down

Not open for further replies.
I like your videos. It seemed to me you were making those vids for yourself, that is testing your own stuff but just videotaping it. I test lots of stuff myself similar to you but I don't videotape it. I had no idea you also had a website. I will have to check it out before you decide to pull it. Anyway, I enjoy your videos, they are educational and entertaining, but you decide what is best for you and everyone should accept that.
 
I subscribed quite a ways back an always look forward to your vids an perspective on Canadian gun issues.
Hope ya stay with us even tho the funds dont make seem worth the hassle.
I will say keep up the good fight an I hope to see many more vids from ya but a break may be a good thing too
Cheers
 
This sucks!!!! lol. I just found your channel not long ago, and have been enjoying it ever since. Now it will be no longer:(
Thanks anyways, great job. You voiced all of our collective CANADIAN thoughts, and I thank you.

LOL just watched the video, glad you're not going anywhere.

I hope you stick it out. It's ridiculous that adsense is trying to manipulate people into following their social agenda, but I guess they're the people giving out the money so they can do as they please. Looking at their terms of use can you make two kinds of video? One that meets their guidelines to generate revenue and one that says what you want to say?
 
After some thought and reflection I'm staying.
I was at a cross roads
The anti-gunners (including Youtube) can go F&%k themselves.

Would be nice to get an invite from Full30
It's the only way to get onboard with them.

These are the days when the quickest, laziest way to the political forefront is to jump on the Anti Gun bandwagon. Political leaders (if we can call them a leader)
do not have the portfolio or testicular fortitude necessary to deal with mental illness = violence/crime. We are all to familiar with the symposium of delusional facts
the antis use and how weak those facts are.

Glad to see your sticking with it.

Although not YouTube related, Jay Currah ran into a similar problem financing his excellent web site about the Lee Enfield Rifle, which disappeared from the Internet back in early 2013. On behalf of many collectors, we contacted Jay and he indicated that he had indeed closed his site. He said that the ISP, server and bandwidth costs to operate his web site continued to rise, while the amount of visitors declined steadily, so he couldn't justify its continued operation.

In order to preserve Jay's fourteen year legacy of historic Enfield research, we offered and he accepted, to resurrect the content of his web site at our expense and host it on our private servers for free.

​

So, Richard, if you get to a fiscally untenable point again, send me an email and we can look at hosting your content for free as well, on our specifically designed high speed video servers, for the benefit of all of our mutual collector communities.

Regards,
Doug
 
I just recently found and watched many of your vids. Well done and very solidly presented information. "Why I care about copper fouling" nearly had me flipped on the subject. Subscribed and hope that there will be more. That said...ones own time and family are invaluable. So unless shooting pays the bills it's a hobby. Regardless of how obsessive/involved they can get, hobbies are hobbies and scaling back for a time doesn't mean it has to stop altogether or can't pick back up later. Just my $0.02
 
Great videos and never forget that. Without a doubt they had a significantly more positive impact on the sport than negative. Thanks for the hours and hours you have invested.

Badger comes through again! I loved Jay Currah's site and was quite saddened when it went away... Thank you Badger for keeping the online milsurp shooting community alive, so much great information is being preserved because of you!
 
Have to admit wondering if this is legit or just a ploy to up subscriptions. I know I'm suspicious. No I didn't subscribe. More than willing to help out a fellow Canadian gun enthusiast, but when I pm a possible solution for free and no response? None at all? Not even a no thanks etc? I get a bit skeptical. Sort of like those cheesy furniture stores that have the "Going out of business sales", yet they always stay in business and that sign is up almost all year.

I wish you nothing but the best RC. I hope you keep up with your videos etc if you enjoy it.

Badgerdog, cool story. Enjoyed reading that.

Epoxy I was at a cross roads because I didn't think anyone gave a hoot whether the channel existed or not.
sounds like there are people that actually watch from time to time.
I've just received some good feedback from CGN members.

I was never in it for the money however because of the content and the message conveyed Youtube has cut my $$$.

No one wants to waste their time.
This isn't a waste of my time
So I will continue.

As for subscribers...
Crap channels have way more subs than me.......

Badgerdog
Thank you very much - that was a very warm offer.
I'll stick with the status-quo for now but it is nice to know there is a security net out there

Cheers to all of you.

Hmm. I knew you'd written a bit but I didn't know you had a youtube channel or a website. I'll check both out as I did enjoy the one piece you wrote.

Hang in there man, do what you love.
