What GON looks like to me.....

[georgiabow]

There are some great folks on the GON board. My problem was that a small group of newcomers seemed to take over and decide what was best for everyone. Are they considering renamimg the board NIC'S PLACE?

i think the problem is that they are just WAY too uptight on everything. a good example is a couple weeks ago someone made a post about a tattoo. people kept referring to it as "tat". i merely said "could please not call it a tat, it just sounds kinda ignorant". i got multiple warnings and a threat to be banned for "inflammatory content". get lame......

I say "To heck with GON!"

I tell everyone I know who is interested in the outdoors about THE ODT!

I was looking for a better place when the ODT opened up, and I haven't been disappointed.

GON's days are numbered. They treat people poorly, their swap now sucks, and people just won't put up with that mess for long.

That's probably best. But before we stop... lol I just want to say that if any of you have met Steve Burke in person you will understand why GON is as it is.

Who is Steve Burke?

I was the first one to get the boot a couple of years ago when the GONe purges began. My crime?

I posted a link on Georgia Gun Trader to my GON thread. A GON member or moderator visited GGT and saw my post, then BAM. Gone forever..no warning..no nothing..didn't have a bad record...had all positive feedback no open warnings.

Is being banned a badge of honor?

I am not banned from GON, GPDO, or any other site - but I also don't flaunt the rules. It's just not that difficult to follow the rules as it ain't my site, I'm just a visitor. Just like this place, nearly every day I see folks violating the price bashing rules - is it so tough just to say nothing and move on? Does it make you a hero to violate rules? I'm serious about this as from what I read in threads like this it seems like it...

hahaha man that is stupid. i agree (since i am covered in tattoos) and most tattoo artists HATE the word "tat" as well. good job on trying to set em straight

heh heh, im not far from that myself over there. i got multiple direct warnings from administration because i went off at someone who had no business getting in my business, jumping in the middle of a personal matter they had no accurate knowledge of. i got direct warnings............. at the same time they got a $50 donation from the other party in the disagreement.........
