I find it very humoring how poor politicians toss up ideas of banning handguns and rifles, because they cannot come up with a proper solution to the crime problem.

The mods did something very similar in locking the 10/22 threads. Instead of offering up a real solution, they simply lock the threads down.

Not too impressed guys.
 
Ilovepotatos - I have sent you a PM

In the thread you created where you wanted a seperate 10/22 forum - I said I would look into it. After discussing it with the mods we agreed it was a no go. Several other members replied (including your self) saying they were disapointed with this decision. I responded several times after this saying still that it was a no go and that complaining or other courses of action were not going to work. When even more members complained and stated that they "demanded" a 10/22 forum, along with beerguts decison of making a poll despide totally ignoring what I said, I locked the threads. They were going nowhere besides bashing the conclusion of the moderators. There was a conflusion drawn - and that was that there was to be no forum. Now please "grow up", read the rules, http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/faq.php?faq=new_faq_item#faq_cgn_general_rules, and stop complaining!
 
I'm sure all of you know about Rim fire Central. Seems to me that there is even more info available there on the 10/22.

I'm not sure why it went any farther than that post?

Hey, I love Savage 99's, can I open up a special forum for them? Hell no, and you know why, cause at the campfire there already is a "savage collectors" forum. Why would I need another?

Whats the big fuss all about anyways?

As a Canadian shooter, I refuse to make my primary shooting source an American one. I doubt these needs any further clarification.

Savage99's have WAY less threads per day than the Ruger 10/22. With the amount of barrel, stock and parts questions, I find the data redundancy is getting a little out of hand. Sure, you can create (or expand) the FAQ thread that's stickied, but stickies would not be read 3/4 of the time, nor would they be effectively controlled. Another major concern, is the constant sandblasting us 10/22 owners get from other members of the rimfire community, such as the Remington 597. Its starting to become a real pain in the ass having 5 people respond to a thread about stock options, with half of them stating how stupid the design of the gun is, with no technical contribution.

I see a discrepency in the Forum. I honestly don't think partitioning the forum is a bad idea, and I am merely trying to use as much influence as I possibly can to make some change.

Since when has that ever been a bad idea?

That makes absolutly no sense. It's a message board for people with common interest, no matter where you might live.
Where do you think the info in all the sticky's at the top of the form came from?
Take advantage of the US boards, 100 times the shooter population we have in Canada. When new #### comes out, it isn't released in Canada first. Hell, I can't even buy basic 10/22 parts in Canada unless I'm willing to pay 3 times the price from RFS.

Then get in that POS car in your ####ty little town and find something to occupy your time.

There are endless resources out there on the topic. There's also many threads here about it, and they're nicely pooled together in the rimfire section.....

I don't see the problem? :confused:

The mods can't exactly jump to everyones petty requests
 
ilovepotatos,

We appreciate your suggestions and your efforts to improve these forums.
We gave the idea of a 10/22 forum serious consideration and decided against it. Complaining will not change this. Attacking a mod is definitely not an effective way to improve a forum.

There will be no separate 10/22 forum. Complaining, criticizing, and taking polls will not change this, but it will create a negative and hostile atmosphere in what has always been a friendly and positive area. When treads have a destructive effect we lock them.

Here is a solution to which you can apply your efforts: when you see a thread which is redundant, direct the originator to the appropriate sticky. If someones posted opinion of the 10/22 does not address the topic in the thread, post something which addresses the topic. If they persist, remind them of the topic of the thread. If others follow your example, the problems which are annoying you should go away.

Actually yah, I'd love to get some clarification on that!

I've learned more about the Savage rifles from U.S. guys than I ever did from Canadians because the forum is so big and has such a wide variety of information from guys that actually worked at the factory to guys that have been collecting for over 40 years.

Now if you'd like to stay here and get info from Little Peter Tittlemouse thats been plinking in his daddys back yard for over a year thats your decision but don't make it out to be a patriotic issue cause that boat don't float.

Sorry Reg and CZ, not trying to stretch this thread, just like to hear points of view.

My primary source should always be a Canadian one. Most of my questions relate to pricing of items in Canada, legalities of certain parts or specifications and the availability of parts in Canada (or the ability to bring them into Canada).

None of these questions can be easily answered on an American forum. If YOU know of a site that answers these, I would happily sign up. I have not found any good listings of this on rimfirecentral.com as of yet.

How'd you get "tater tot" up there? Can I have something too?

To tell the truth, while I was mostly indifferent to the decision not to have a separate forum, I was a little disappointed with the locking of the threads. It's not like an open discussion was doing any harm or inspiring any revolutionary movements.
 
Ilovepotatos - I reccomend you try searching this forum for the questions you are interested in. As I have mentioned There have been MANY threads on this subject. You seem to be forgetting as well that just because their won't be a sub-forum for the Ruger 10/22 you can still ask anything about the ruger 10/22 in the regular rimfire forum. That is your Canadian source right there.

PowerStroke - IBTL = In before the lock.
 
the only reason a 10/22 forum would be good so people who dont like them dont have to wade through pages of threads about these POS rifles...

especially those of us on dial up.. anything to streamline the forums is good for me.. on some days most of the front page is about 10/22's which i have no interest in at all....

One thing that reg hasn't said regarding attacking mods, which will not endear you to us, is you can and will get slapped with an infraction and/or a time out.

I would like a separate forum for the Browning HiPower but I know that isn't going to happen and that's OK.

The search function is a wonderful thing.
