F14A Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 GT caters to liberals now & I fully understand why (now..) Too bad. The only constant is change. Sometimes, for the worse. Canada. Damn that's a punch in the mouth for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun Shark Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I'm sorry to read all that Eric. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Thank you for all you have done on Glock Talk, and all you have done/are doing here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picard Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Sorry to hear that. GT was, and in a way still is, a great site. Thank you for all of your hard work over the past 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad, very bad hombre..Outside Hub/OutdoorHub/Carbon Media Group need to be held accountable for such a treasonous act. I bet you have felt immense pressure keeping this under your hat..

CincyRed Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 GT was an everyday affair for me, mostly lurking, rarely posting. I am certainly looking forward to what the bore site can become. Wishing you the very best and I am sure you will succeed in this new venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprout Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hey Eric, I'm a lurker, not much of a poster. I've lurked GT for years and although we've never met I can tell just by reading your posts that you are a stand up guy and the reason I joined TBS shortly after you created it. Keep your head up, it's pretty clear you have a lot of support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jstrange Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Thanks for all you did over there. It was always an entertaining place to be. Glad to be over here checking this place out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbill100 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Got invited to GT, your leaving and your story makes some of the postings I have seen Clearer. Thanks for your hard work. And best of luck getting this site going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillKilgore Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 @Eric, I really like this new forum. How long has it been operational? Thanks for creating TheBoreSite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pw1981 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 So I came here to register and support your new venture. I adopted a new name here, because I use this name almost everywhere online except GT. I rescued my profile image from the Wayback Machine. Your GT sentiments over there were spot on. I actually all but quit visiting the site a few years back; it just lost its allure to me. Too much "stuff" and not enough community and content. Regards, Phil (the artist formerly known as G17Man) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaDub Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Eric, the response to your announcement of your very difficult decision speaks volumes. Your hard work over the last two decades has been influential in many lives in the gun community. I wish for nothing but the best in this latest endeavor. I joined early but admit that I had slacked off contributing here. Perhaps these last 24 hours will prove to be the "kick in the pants" TBS needed for true growth. This place has so much potential. I'm pulling for you and hope to do my part by getting more involved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyjohnson Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 BGH, sucks your leaving GT and more so the reasons why. i`ll just say Thanks for what you did for GT and for how it influenced the Web as a whole. i had a lot of fun from your hard work there. you did good,Thanks Eric.

blueiron Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I love Canada and especially Tim Horton's, Molson, Canadian Tire, hockey, lacrosse, and their women; but what diminished GT for me was Eric's declining involvement. He kept the trolls at bay, he welcomed constructive feedback, and he made it feel like a American Legion or VFW hall where you knew or would eventually know everyone. Anytime a large corporation takes over nearly anything, they tend to ruin a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the recent influx of new blood, I hope this place will build some momentum and have a good future ahead of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrB Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I was never a member on GT. I lurked there at work for years though. Why I did not join is the same reason I hope this place doesn't morph into that. I joined here at the start because was a place where it was relaxed without a small clique group being the core posters and outsiders be out. Hope this forum remains as was started.. Dave..
