We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :)
Please help by posting all issues here.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Virginia Citizens Defense League works tireslessly for our gun rights.
Thank you Philip VanCleave
What you said makes more sense as to why John would keep the forum going. It's unreal how it has changed over the years. What a shame. I recall your user name from way back. It's kind of sad that the only conversations in recent weeks have been about the downfall of the site. lol.
Yep, just read a bit about Piazza. Lots of searches on this guy. I went to a thread on the Northwest Firearms Forum and read a few posts about the "Death of Front Sight". Some shady folks huh
Thank you for taking the time to write a meaningful post If this doesn't stir things up on the site (other than what little I can contribute here), then it is definitely dying! . What a shame about Front Sight. Who is Piazzia, the owner I'm assuming? The reaction of others to open carry is so...
Wow, what a shame, John could have had a good moderator take over. Well, you sure gave it your best shot. I do agree there is a lot of good information here, but I believe the daily numbers are dropping though. The VCDL website is a good source for info as well. I sure wish John would take some...
I remember when Grapeshot was the moderator. He worked so hard to keep the forum in good shape. He also kept people engaged in good conversations on the forum. After he passed away, no one took over for him. That is a shame about the POOFA site, but it is good that the owner communicated. I...
This is absolutely ridiculous! All of the spam posts on the site need to be deleted and the spammers need to be blocked if possible. I don't believe John is keeping an eye on the forum. It's dying a slow death. I hate seeing this. It used to be such a great platform
Did anyone get together for dinner? I know that Virginia Citizens Defense League organizes a dinner gathering on Sunday night for folks coming in from out of town.
I'm interested to know if anyone on the forum still goes to Lobby Day. If so, do you meet up the night before for dinner? For years, a large group of folks would get together on Sunday evening. A lot of people came in from out of town. It was quite an event. Just curious.
It's always sad to hear of someones passing even though you didn't know them personally. I searched for Robert's posts using the forum name Treborfoot and there were many!
