I haven't seen Mike post in a long while? So I pulled up his Profile and it no longer shows that he is an Administrator Or Moderator? What the Heck is up Around here?

He is over at HNI. Posted there yesterday
A far as what’s up here. Well the site sucks is what’s up. I thought it was bad when Hal had it. New owners are worse . Then again a person can’t share their opinion around here without getting banned or the post getting deleted
Welcome to the Orwellian forum where the thought police reign supreme
 
Whoa pump the brakes a bit. As far as I am aware no one has been band and I have no idea what’s up with sabotloader. If you are referring to Idaholewis leaving he did that 100% on his own and was not banned. I won’t get into details but he was welcomed back as a standard member.
 
Saw Idaholewis on SGT and sent him a PM, but no response.

I wasn’t referring to Lewis or Mike. I was just expressing an opinion in general based on my 10 years as a member under my current user name and a few years under a previous name and the changes I’ve seen during that time .
No specifics just an overall trend that I’ve experienced. Just my opinion :)
 
Tell you what, if you think HNI is less moderated than here you have not been paying attention. They hand out temp bans like candy for the slightest infraction if its reported. Delete posts without even a pm to tell you why. They have many times the amount of ads. You cant even make a post about an ad blocker on HNI. I had a couple of mine removed by their top admin. Rockslide is even worse and yet people who complain about those issues here still post on those forums.

One feature the new forum software has is i can see all posts that are deleted. Its called a soft delete. Regular members cant see them but admins can without even going into the control panel. Oddly i see very very few deleted posts. They never go away they are just hidden from public view. How do i know?....Well im still finding posts that Lewis deleted (when he left before) that i missed months ago....Many dont know this but Lewis deleted over 2000 of his posts and topics before he left yet he was still welcomed back by ALL the staff/admins/mods. I have numerous hours in repairing all that damage to topics.

Its my opinion that some people starting these topics or posting in them are very much aware of where (insert name here) has gone. You guys are posting in topics on the other boards with the guy/s that left. Its also my opinion some of these kind of posts are being done just to start a fuss here.
 
I heard Lewis’ side of the story while I was in Idaho. I don’t blame him for deleting his posts and leaving. There is always 2 sides to everything but I don’t doubt his version of things at all cause I’ve seen the same thing happen before.
What is sad is valuable contributors end up leaving while the yes men simply move up the ranks til the forum is useless for value and just a waste of time in general .
Your last paragraph is ridiculous Scott . You know better. Ed asked an honest question cause he hasn’t seen mike . I simply answered he was over on HNI. Next you know someone is guilty of conspiring all this just to start a fuss
Title of global moderator has clouded your thinking
 
I really wasn't going to log back on but I think I should let those folks wondering.... Yes, I chose to give up my position on this forum. It was a choice I wrestled with but in the end I am pretty comfortable with it.

Reason... I was just not comfortable with the direction the current forum is going. I am an old dinosaur and while I was not a part of the original site beginnings, a bunch of guys from all around the eastern States sitting around a hunting campfire discussing muzzleloading. I believe in their mind they decided to create the original forum around the thoughts that this new forum should be a 'peoples' forum. Leaning to helping, answering questions, and sharing with people.

Advertisements and Sponsors were not a part of the that forum - suppose to be just regular folks talking about the different forum topics.

It is my feeling that with the new leadership direction the forum is moving away from those old thoughts and moving to site like many or most of the other forums on the WWW. Because of that I chose to be just a regular member with not stake in the game.

As an old dinosaur I am still around and still post on a few old standyby forums. No chance I am giving up Muzzleloading any time soon. I still really enjoy reading and helping when I can.

Thanks - mike
 
I simply answered he was over on HNI

But you did not. You had to add an opinion about this forum. Hence proving my opinion about the motivation behind some posts. It was far from just letting people know where he went. The intent is very clear otherwise the answer would have just been enough.

Clear only to you . Glad you know others intent even when they don’t . Then again you think in algorithms .
 
I really would like to suggest that both or all 'cool your jets'. Do not make this more than it is!!! please
 
The question has been answered. I'm closing this thread to more comments so it will not turn into a duel of words.
