We wish all our 71,800 Forum members health, success, and personal fulfilment in 2024.
2024 marks the 20th year we have operated an internet forum and produced online articles. After its early origins back in 2004, the site became 6mmBR.com and then AccurateShooter.com. We now serve over 500,000 visitors per month between this Forum, the main AccurateShooter.com site, and the Daily Bulletin .
We have grown from a few dozen forum members to nearly 72,000. Over the past two decades, we have released over 6,000 internet articles, including the popular Cartridge Guides, some of which have been viewed over 8 million times. We release fresh Bulletin content every day of the year, delivering more stories per month than two NRA magazines combined. Guys, please visit the Daily Bulletin regularly -- there really is an amazing amount of content, including great deals every Monday.
For 2024 we want to thank our readers and our Forum members -- you made this all possible!
Please Consider Upgrading Your Membership
We hope current Forum members will consider upgrading their membership to Silver or Gold status. This will give you unlimited access to our Classifieds for 12 months. As of January 1st, non-upgraded members will be allowed only two (2) free classifieds listings every 12 months.
Members can really help the site by upgrading. Gold and Silver membership fees provide critical, vital funding for the site. Our Silver and Gold members do, indeed, help ensure this Forum's continuing operation.
In addition, upgrading effectively helps certify your status as a seller because members must show a verified CC or checking account in order to upgrade. Scammers won't do that. We strongly recommend that ALL members who use the Classifieds upgrade.
Effective January 1st, 2024, the fee for Silver Membership is $30, and the fee for Gold Membership is $60.
About Relative Costs -- Our Memberships Are Still a Bargain
Please consider this, if you were to sell just ONE $600 item on Gunbroker, you would have to pay $30.50 in fees. Additionally, one popular tactical forum now charges $20 PER MONTH to post Classifieds ads. Paying $30 for 12 months is a heck of a lot better than paying $20/mo. for 12 months, i.e. $240/year.
About the fees: A 12-month Silver membership has been increased from $25 to $30, while Gold has been raised from $50 to $60 for 12 months. Please note, this is our first fee increase in many years. However, Forum server, email, security, software, and licensing costs have increased substantially in the last 4 years. That's why we are raising the fees.
Lastly, I want to encourage people to support the site. I'm 68 years old now and really do need to hire skilled help for content creation, software updates, and security. I personally background check EVERY new signup, and release over 900 articles in the Daily Bulletin every year. I am still working over 3000 hours per year, despite suffering a very major injury in June requiring multiple surgeries. We do need to raise more funding to provide more staffing.
So, if you like this Forum, PLEASE HELP. $30 per year works out to just $2.50 per month -- the price of a cup of coffee.
