Thread: The Cast Boolits family

    The Cast Boolits family

    As I roam other forums (they do exist) scalping year end deals, I am always struck by one thing. The "feel" or "Culture" of those forums. Very rude, much swearing, not much real knowledge passed on unless you dig super deep through the machismo and BS.

    Then I come back home to Cast Boolits. Almost every thread has real knowledge being given and taken. Normal conversations are occuring, friendships are being made, and you just feel "comfortable" being here.

    A big thank you to the Owner, the Moderators, and the members that make this such a great place to be.

    The word camaraderie comes to mind. I was thinking of posting something similar to yours this morning as well. There is a lot of very friendly and helpful folks here on this forum. My thanks as well.

    There isn't another forum that I stuck around for 8 weeks, been here for 8 years now.

    You people must be masochists for putting up with me for that long.

    I roam a lot of other forums also. But this is one that I post to the most. There are some VERY knowledgeable people on this forum. But lately there has been a huge influx with people that are starting to cast and reload. We need to be helpful to them also. I know it seems like the same ?'s are asked over and over again. Like what is the best.................. Just remember, you were there at one point also. So lets keep this forum the top one there is!

    Honestly, the only time I peruse other forums is when I am searching about something new...

    Then I come back, and probably spend WAY too much time here...

    Feels like home.

    Rick, they haven't kicked me out either. I don't get that.

    I don't frequent other shooting forums. This one is home to me.

    Not for me.

    Did try another, but the arrogance and elitism became too much.

    Well said this is a great forum.
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    On the swearing, rudeness, etc.- remember that the ONLY way we keep this place, The Pit included, at the level of discourse it's been at is for all of us to lead by example and quash any of the foul mouthed krap we see on so many other sites. That's part of what brought me back, the relative character of this site compared to just about every other one I've been at.

    It sure is nice to see this. If you guys could see some of the vile messages we mods get from time to time, calling us nazi's, agents of obama, thought police, any number of insulting and sometimes profane names you'd wonder why we even bother. Threads like this one make it worthwhile after a long day in the trenches. THANK YOU.
