When did 1911 Addicts go to the Canadians?

 

[Agent P]

I'm here. Not a fan of the new format.
I hope others will follow but my guess is they will just stay and get use to the new format with time.

 

[ILED93]

I spend more time there than here. That may change.

Thanks for the vote of confidence @Badabing11

I will be implementing some things around here shortly that will hopefully make others feel more right at home.
We will have a new logo, and more importantly instruments to prevent the loss of the site in the future.

I've been around various forums for a long time.
I don't understand the business end of the forums. I do enjoy the shared knowledge and community aspects.

I do understand "follow the money" though.
Owning forums of every nature must generate a pay point because these forum acquisitions seem to be widespread now.
It sure looks like that outfit is trying to corner the forum market. It's not just firearms forums.

Yes, I am on the other site too.
I found this forum last night and see many familiar names here, so I joined.
This seems like a friendly place to hang out.

I'll continue to go back and forth and see how it goes.................

I enjoy this site, run very good and lots of 1911 info.

I've been on Addicts since day one.
Can't say I'm happy about it's neutering

 

[AZ Husker]

I'm slowly figuring it out, but some options are hidden in the most bizarre places. I hate the "push" feature.

 

[HenryT]

I joined this site several days ago anticipating a mass migration.

 

[SparkyAZ]

Time will tell. The upgrades that @Blackbeard has mentioned will only add and grow this site. Proper participation is the key IMHO...

 

[hendershot]

I'll gladly come over here. That place just doesn't seem right anymore. It will take participation from many as posting by one's self isn't much fun nor is it a learning experience.

I'm not sure what it takes to get a chat room going, but I'm not opposed to "chipping in" if it's not much more than a cost thing.

The chat room should already be up.

I'm here as well.... How is everyone doing?

I saw the announcement at the other place the other day, and have had a brief look at the new format. I don't see any advantages to it, but it's not terrible. All these commercial sites have to stay trendy - which I suppose is part of the problem.

I don't know if it's bad enough to get many people to move. People will tolerate a lot of negative change if it's introduced gradually, and there are folks over there who have a ton invested in it. It's quite understandable if they don't leave or duplicate efforts on a different board.

My overall forum activity is pretty low these days, because I just have different stuff going on. I do still watch the gunsmith forums at Addicts and 1911.com. But I don't buy/sell/trade much. I don't collect. And, in many ways, my personality is not well suited to internet conversations. I can't help that.

I am still actively interested in 1911 carry pistols, gear and training. Pistol Annie is still training women and new shooters. I am going ahead and getting the NRA Pistol Trainer cert so I can formalize my work helping her. We still intend to open a range in Texas but it's been delayed indefinitely by CoViD circumstances and we know it might not happen.

I will check in here more regularly and see what's happening.
