Too many non shooting threads?

[stgw77]

Hi,
I have been reading this forum for some years now, daily, I mean everything that is posted.
I am having difficulties to read everything lately, I am not retired, must work and then there is family also. I understand that there are more and more members, that leads to more posts...BUT does there must be posted so MANY non shooting questions, threads and other crap lately?
If the trend goes on, I will be forced to stop reading it...what a shame, this forum IS GREAT!!!!
Hope my post dont add too much to non shooting related reading
Cheers

I guess it must be human nature. I dont understand why if somebody doesn't like a thread, why they read it or respond to it. I simply go to another thread. I guess with over 25,000 members, you will always have some. What one person thinks is not always what another thinks of the same subject. Matt

Think you are a bit stressed out with trying to read everything posted. Life is too short to spend so much time on non essential things.

 

[Erud]

Just read the threads that are about things that interest you and skip over the others. Problem solved.

 

[people]

Prime example would be this thread. Why post it? Is it shooting related? Why do you have to read everything? I could go on about that last question but it would be far easier to just delete this thread.

Simple fix. Just read what you have an interest in.

Kinda like this thread?

 

[sdean]

Kinda!!!! I read it once and never again.

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Thats what this sub-forum is for. The other ones are shooting related

 

[NorCalMikie]

Man does not live by shooting alone?? There's still life to deal with.
There's a LOT of shooting related things posted that I don't bother to look at. Just move on.

 

[rrgertz64]

So a non shooting thread complaining about non shooting threads.

 

[NorCalMikie]

Like I said, man does NOT live by shooting alone.

If a post isn't about a subject I'm interested in...I just don't read it!

 

[Medic505]

Makes you want to start one just so he'll have something new to read...

 

[dkhunt14]

I think it's been a long hard winter. Then you have the ones that complain about everything and argue right right along with the thread they complain about. Matt

I hit the NEW POSTS pull down and just peruse a topic that interests me. There is such a thing as too much information so no need to read everything.

 

[joed49]

Why do you need to read everything? Are you Adrian Monk? With what is going on with the last school shooting there are a lot of people posting news stories, and I don't know why. But, you don't have to read things that don't interest you, I can tell you I don't.

I do what hogpatrol does, use NEW POSTS and read only what interests me. And what's neat is there is an ignore feature on here. I use it for those that continually post topics I have no interest in.

Truth of the matter, this forum is a diverse group of people, our country even a greater diverse society. Pick and choose the topics that interest you.
If I wanted one opinion, I'd go back to buying gun magazines, I can only read about the virtues of the 6 dasher for so long.
I do not have a single member here on ignore, even if I do not like ones posts, I can read or bypass, life really can be simple.
