Benchrest Central?

[NorCalMikie]

Was "for sale" and as of yesterday, not coming up. Did it get shut down?

Not sure but it is inevitable.

I couldn't get in earlier this week.
Thought it was my phone being glitchy.
Sad.

Maybe Elon Musk will save it......... just to further piss some more do-gooders off.

Maintaining a forum with the ever-increasing cost and complexity of server, email, and security systems is very tough. In addition, the fight against hackers and scammers is never-ending, requiring hundreds of hours annually.

I hope the owner at Benchrest Central is able to resolve his issues relatively quickly.

I suspect Elmer is far less interested in it than Wilbur was……time will tell.

I agree, you have to love this stuff to put the time and effort into it that is required. Wilbur loved it, i suspect Elmer was doing it out of love for his dad. I hope he can find a buyer for the site as i truly enjoyed it. Either way, thank you to Elmer for keeping it going as long as he did.

I just went on using my iPhone.
As a test I posted a funny picture.
Worked.

Paul, a very positive thing would be for Accurate Shooter to bring the BRC content over here under a tab titled 'Short Range Benchrest'. With your expertise, it would be very popular.

 

[NorCalMikie]

That's like Specialty Pistol being picked up by Savage Shooters.
At least it's still there to see if you're so inclined.
Once gone....
One thing I've seen lately with BR.com, folks are playing nicer.

I'd rather see BR Central stand alone.

Yes...that would be the best scenario.

 

[durand mortenson]

Haven't had access for quite sometime ...finally gave up.
Really miss Wilbur...a real good man.

You may have to just reregister with the new platform. -Al

I was on today (I think) looking for a joystick type front rest.

Stand alone is one thing. Have it completely GONE is something else. Maybe better to be able to see it somewhere else than not at all.

I registered quite awhile ago and have never received the confirmation or whatever the next step would be. Kind of forgot about it since.

Edit to add...
I have an account but have not been approved by admin. Over a year now I believe

Well, there was a humor forum over there when there wasn't one here.......as they say.............just sayin...
