Cast boolets website?

At large, whereabouts unknown.
It's kind of funny, but I tried looking up Charles CB account to see what nasty remarks were left about him. I noticed something that has always bothered me. There are a huge number of "members" there who have never posted anything on the site at all. Ghosts?

Like I said, funny.

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
You are my role model in such things.



HAR!!!!!! I think last time I figured it out I'd been banned on 7 or 8 sites covering everything from guns to farming. And honestly, outside of one place the female moderator got mad at me for disagreeing with her about the effects of frost on fence posts (no, really!), I never meant to be offensive at any of those places!

Quite common actually. It's the same here and most forums I guess. People register for the forum & return the confirmation email and never a single post from them. Anyone can read the forum's, no need to register to do that but it's what they do I reckon. Scroll through the members list here and there are lot's of people that have been members here for a few years and not a single post.

There's a forum I'm a regular on , practically a founder ...... Anyway I'd guess there's 20<> a month that sign up , I'd bet less than maybe 1/30-40 respond in the welcome thread for every sign up . Outside of the regulars I doubt if any of them know there's a birthday wish post for every member . It's not really unusual I guess .
Anyway that forum does a 2 yr purge , if you're not active more often than about every 18 months you get dumped .

On this site if you don't join, the quality of the photos we post is VERY poor.

Bret, one of life's verities, is when given insignificant power, insignificant people will use it in an attempt to make themselves significant. Therefore "intent" plays little or no part in internet board bannings. Quite often, all it takes is insufficient fealty to the powers that be, to trigger a banning. However, in the grand scheme of life, being banned from a rinky-dink internet board, is a matter of no consquence. Better to be your self and be banned. than play trivial games to stay in good graces of some minor power on earth. Like you, I have no bad intent, but just being "uppity" is enough. The foregoing is banworthy in some places on the "interweb". Independent thinkers in any area of life, present a danger to the established order. My Grandfather who raised me once said: "Son, if your don't want to make waves, don't ever say nothing, do nothing or be nothing". I was born a free man and will die a free man, not subject to the control of kings, princes, bishops, potentates, moderators and board owners. See. I told you I was uppity. (-:

Bret, it appears you are not alone in being perma-banned. OBIII seems to have earned that moniker as well.

Wear it with pride.

I suspect that maybe a half dozen g/t that register on a firearms related site, are on the job and on the clock when they register and subsequently when they log on.

While we have 1100 members here a good day is 125-150 online.
I bet 50% of the members have never made a single post and at least 25% never logged in again after joining
