*This* is a serious bummer. At one time, I was there as much as I am at FreeRepublic now. It's still the best place on the net to go for firearms knowledge and lore. Yikes! What'll we do!

All afternoon & night, my email box has been filling up with this:

TFL was the first board I ever joined on the web... in pre-web days of BBS's I was on Compuserve, Genie, Prodigy, and a few more, but TFL was my "first" on AlBorg2000's Information Superhighway.

I sure hope Oleg can pull a rabbit out of his hat and get TFL'ers to migrate to a new site... the other boards some members have suggested just don't seem quite right, for some reason.

I can't quite put a finger on what it is... some are awfully small- a few hundred members, which would surely change if the majority of TFL'ers landed among them. Others have names that I suspect would be off-putting to non-firearms enthusiasts, and one of my mission statements is to "get people to educate themselves," so any barrier to getting a non-gunnie to look around is not desirable, from my POV.
