Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Craig, your opening post should have been saved for a Parker Pages article. It perfectly represents what has happened to that favored gauge and wasn’t too wordy at all, as one commenter indicated.
I love each and every 16 gauge Parker I have ever had. Sadly, and for no sane reason, I sold some that I never should have… *kicks self in ass* for a couple of them served me very well and brought the game to the ground when I did my part.
Thanks for that great lead-in to a topic that most all of us can relate to.

Dean, my understanding is that he didn't write that, it was copied off of Facebook. I said it was wordy as most things there are, but the spirit of his post is excellent. And I agree, an article on the 16 would be awesome.
As far as 16g Society, I've been a member a long while, but I also think that as more information comes out on other forums and the internet their relevance was maybe destined to fade? I wish it didn't. And that is a one of the coolest logos I've seen.
