SavageShooters Forum Shutting Down

[Boartuff]

I stayed away from the forums because I didn't want to get banned because they had a lot of TC stuff in the classifieds

Good idea. lol

It is THE place to go for all things Savage. That’s a shame. Posters on there were really helpful when you needed it.

There a lot of Savage shooters on this site also.

See Ya' at the Tack Drivers with a 7mm. I'll need to migrate
a few things over. Working on a 4 screw PTA currently.

Yes there are.

So, should we have a Savage Section on AS?

NorCalMikie, we were both there many decades ago. Of course we were just young pups back then. I really enjoyed when the factory team members would chime in when a member had problems and they would help them out.

As far as that site being absorbed on here, that would be great as well. However our forum boss is already overworked just keeping this site running as it is.

Now perhaps if someone would clone him another him, he might do it. But then again he might just start running away screaming, NO! ... NO!.

Out in the world, there are way more "Savage shooters" or "Remington shooters" than the all custom everything competitors... Despite the Internet impression to the opposite.

Maybe the forum boss could add a "Savage Shooters" forum here to make up for the loss. Pull those guys over here. Wouldn't offend me any!! I love my Savage customers. Some of the small groups sent to me were from guys shooting Savages.

I really don’t see the point. They can be discussed just like anything else.

Well there ya go.....that's one man's opinion. Let's have more. I'm curious.

I would. Losing that site is a big deal.

That being said, the forum is awesome now.

But I think there could be a bunch of guys come over.

That would be great too then.

I've always thought one of the reasons this forum is still very active is that there isn't a ton of different sub-forums. Some places there's 50 sub forums with 3 guys each. The traffic gets spread out so much it seems dead

Well... To be fair, one sub-forum more to absorb an entire forum that went belly up is not 50...

Certainly. However having a group out there that are now ‘site less’ would surely be enticing.
Does adding another section require an injection of funds? Would these funds be offset by the increase in members?
Of course I have NO idea but it seems a great deal of the administration time is trying to control the classified section. Being scammers or outright crooks. Phony names, addresses, non existent products etc.
Then again being outshot with your many thousand dollar action by a guy with a savage action may not appeal to some.

 

[fayettefatts]

I think a lot of folks visit both sites. I know I do.

My post was more of a general commentary about forums getting spread too thin not so much about whether AS should take them or not. If the Boss wants to add them here I think they’d be a good addition.

As a Savage shooter and one that builds and competes with them, I agree.
It's just another format. Just start a thread whenever. That's all that's needed.

I actually enjoy the hell out of doing that, and I shoot with quite a few on this
site. No, I don't do a lot of winning, but if I can ever get that flag reading thing
down, Yinz are screwed.....LOL

Absolutely!! I think it would be a great addition to this site, but since it would require a lot of work for the Boss, I think it should be restricted to members that financially contribute. That may enable him to hire some help....
