Just checked back over there and SteveinCT, who has been moderating/running it for a while, has shut it down. Future looks kind of iffy, but you never know. They kind of laughed at me a couple weeks ago when I suggested folks download favorite strings, et cetera, because I had the same disappointind experience when Shooters Talk went off the air. Said there would be plenty of interest in keeping it running.
I was just there an noticed the same thing.
At first I though I just had to reapply but when I clicked on the link
for the Network 54 forums I got to read the terms and conditions again and there is a clear statment that that prohibits any posting that pertain to guns. I cut and pasted that section here.
Now before you get all worked up over the fact that AIRguns aren't firearms, please remember that most states are now including airguns as firearms by defination when buying or selling. Kinda scary. I think the free ride is almost over.
