    There was a Man Cave section, was it in the paid member area? So sorry I missed that, if you don't like looking at attractive women then you are either a woman yourself or just can't appreciate beauty! As far as a family friendly site I don't know what is still taboo in our culture, I would rather a 12 year old boy see a tasteful nude rather then two house hunting homosexuals on HGTV.

    entire pages of complaining and whining.

    Well, ok. That is to be expected with a change such as this. I'm a lil uneasy about the sale of the board, and the possibility of major changes, but ill just be optimistic and hope for the best and see what happens. Hopefully those with the fear of this great board, failing will not come to pass. I do not post very often, but I am here a lot reading and enjoying the boards. Hopefully that will continue to be the case.

    I hope Alan sees whats become of this site, and starts another that we can join.

    Usually, when a company buys out another company, the man (or woman) in charge isn't allowed to run another company like it for a certain amount of time. I think with this situation, he was saying he can't make another gun forum for 3 years. I'd have to go back and check.

    Yep, pretty much SOP.

    I'm sure he was paid what it was worth. As much as I don't like the changes, I understand he had an unrelated situation that he had to address - I don't know all the details and I wasn't in it so I don't want to go second-guessing his choice.

    My previous comment stands alone for a reason. It is in no way directly related to the sale of TGT.

    He was paid well enough to sign on the dotted line. I wish him nothing but the best.

    As for all the new changes, I keep seeing the new ownership posting up comments and offering compromises and wanting to work things out. They also seem willing to add items to the forum that didn't exist or had problems before. I don't mind seeing a few asterisks now and then instead of words. Not really sure where the naked ladies were on here (too bad), but if I really want to see any, I bet I can find plenty of pictures on the www.

    I only wish our elected officials seemed as willing to listen, respond, and act according to the public will as these guys seem to be trying to.

    Well stated.
    I concur.

    Amen brother. Some of us are just going about doing our mischievous things just for fun, but I agree wholeheartedly. I actually like that we've got a "site supporter" link at the top. For $10 a year, I get 20x more information entertainment off of here than watching the idiot box.

    It's the members who make up a site. The only way the site changes is if we have a mass exodus. Having new owners won't change this place THAT much.

    It's the members who post. It's the members who respond.
