Seems odd to start an all new forum unless there was some sort of functionality that you wanted. I can't imagine this is a gold mine like founding Google or something.

Maybe he just REALLY didn't like the new software!

 

[bvillars]

good luck dc, but I really do appreciate this forum

He's running the same software.

So if D is gone, what about the shirts??..well I just answered my own question

 

[Acesn8's]

I thought he mighta hit his post limit ha ha ha
congratulations on yer new endeavor DC

 

[Big country]

So D took off to start another forum just like this one? I guess I'm missing something. Was there a difference of opinion somewhere? I guess congrats should be in order. I guess.

 

[TexasRedneck]

Huh???? Now I AM confused....

 

[Big country]

Welcome to my world! LOL

 

[country_boy]

Ive been confused since I first time I read this thread yesterday..great minds think a like??

 

[Dawico]

Judging by his post count, I didn't know he had any other interests. Hehehe

Well, good luck DCortez. Maybe someday we can find out what is really going on.

Was wondering the same thing Big.

DCortez did leave to start a similar forum, but he wants the new forum to focus on group get togethers. His goal is "to introduce friends, family, and the next generation of Texans, to gun ownership", with the main focus being on meet and greets/shoots. He still likes TGT, but he wants a more hands on Administrative roll without the risk of having a falling out and then losing what he worked so hard on. Let's face it, if you work hard on something, you want ownership of it. However, out of respect for Alan and TGT he's not signing on here to try and snag a bunch of TGT'ers from the site by shamelessly advertising. Besides, sometimes its fun to just try and do something on your own...right?

 

[Dawico]

I don't think anyone has a problem with that. Nothing like building from the ground up to get a real sense of pride in something.

 

[Dawico]

I guess with his history here, it would be nice to see the two websites with links to each other. The gun community is kind of built on relationships like that. But, something like that is up to others to decide on. Not really any of my business, I guess.

I wish him well and hopes he visits us here from time to time.

 

[GM.Chief]

I agree, but I think he doesn't want to get in a possible territory match. Perhaps after it is more established, they will be linked together. Both DC and Alan know what's up and they will link up if/when they feel they're ready, I'm sure.

 

[Dawico]

Understandable, competition can make us stronger or tear us apart. Hopefully there are no hard feelings on either part.

 

[GM.Chief]

There aren't any from DC, I have not spoken to Alan as of yet so I can't say his opinion, but I would not imagine there are any from his side either. But if one site starts stealing all the active members away, there would be the potential for hard feelings.

 

[Dcav]

Good to see there was not a falling out or anything.

 

[zembonez]

There is plenty of room on the interwebz for a large number of forums. There are a zillion now. Why not have a zillion and one?

I've spoken with Alan on this matter and I don't think he or DC have any bad blood here. Both just want to have their own place. Strong minded people want to be in control of their domain. Alan has worked really hard to create this one. DC will have the same mountain to climb to create his. Out of respect for both of them, I'd think the correct path would be to respect them both and continue trying to strengthen us as a group of Texas gun owners and enthusiasts.
