Dave has proven that he simply does not care by running a loose ship. I think he puts not wanting to censor and babysit in front of maintaining a valuable resource for the doublegun community. The number of people and valuable information lost vastly outweigh allowing a hand full of tools have a home.

Stan, what is the DGJ forum that you mention? How do I access it?

There is some good stuff over there and the troublemakers could be amusing before they get out of hand. Dave has cleaned it up for the most part anyway.

Bill, you're already a respected member there, my friend. It's the Doublegunshop forum. My "DGJ" probably threw you.

Thanks, Stan.

It is better than it was last year or so. Bobby

I haven't logged in there in years but I do admit to checking once in a while to see if there's anything of interest to me; there rarely is. Seeing some of the responses in a thread about the passing of a long-time member reminded me of why I quit.

Just checked and I see that it's back up and running, if there is any interest.

Looks like it is back up.

There are some really knowledgeable people there, many of who participate here. I use it a lot, since I have many more interests in guns than just Parkers and there are people there who are really knowledgeable in European guns, single shots, double rifles,drillings etc. It is a shame that 4 or 5 idiots who are either furthuring their own financial interests or on some unexplainable ego trip have been allowed to stay on the board and ruin it for a lot of people.

For a lot of good information on almost any gun related subject, I have participated on Accuratereloading.com for many years. It is owned and run by a Prince from the Emerites, and is the best source I know for Double Rifle info. My favorite forums are the custom gun and gunsmithing forums. The custom forum is notable since many of the world's top gunmakers such as Darcy Echols participate with a lot of info and advice.

It is maybe the largest gun forum on the internet and there is hardly a subject not covered. I have often thought it suffers from it's name seeming to be limited in content.
