First off, I am going to be removing the classifieds section of the forum. The primary reason is a partnership with David at Texasguntrader.com. I feel that by combining our traffic we can provide an easier, faster, and more profitable classifieds transaction for our members. TGT alone does about 21K visitors a month, and TGTrader does nearly 50K. TGTrader also has a better setup for hosting pictures and just classifieds as a whole. The secondary reason for this is an uncontrollable liability over possible straw purchases, becoming an accessory in a civil action, and a number of, albeit unlikely, events. The date for this action is Feb. 1st
Secondly, I am scheduling a large event to celebrate our 1st Anniversary to be held late March with Shiloh Indoor Range. As more things in the line-up become solid I will make a post about it in the events section.
Third(ly), I will be updating the forum software soon to a new release of vBulletin. I will be posting about it's new features as soon as it is updated .
Fourth(ly), I will be migrating over to a faster server. We've outgrown our current box under peak load and will be "moving on up" to our new home in the next few days pending trials.
Fifth(ly), I have laid out a few forum goals to be made this year. The 1st goal is a response to the last comments thread I made where the vast majority of respondants wanted events.
Goal 1 - Events - I want a TGT event held in every major city / metro area in every quarter of 2009. This is a total of 16 events, or more.
Goal 2 - Content - We will be working on expanding our articles section.
Goal 3 - Members - 5000 members by the end of the year.
