Over the years it has been my privilege to oversee the back room as it were of the Leverguns Community forum and to supervise the bi-anual fund drive to keep the site up and running. Every couple of years the regulars on the forum have contributed funds to cover the costs of hosting and maintaining the domain names. Contributions from $5 up to a couple hundred per person were received - and ALL were used for the forum. We had to shut down the drive quickly at times as the generosity of the members soon met the goal each time.
David Fagan and myself as well as the moderators and administrators have always worked pro bono, seeking the well being of the forum community and doing what we can to keep it going smoothly. It has been an honor to serve and to be a part of this community over the years. But over the past couple of years I've felt my patience waning. The majority of the folk here have no trouble observing and living up to the simple forum rules:
But there's the few who for one reason or another believe that no place should be safe from less than polite discourse. We've done our best to operate the forum on the same principle as our livingroom. Everyone's welcome, but we won't put up with folks who do not understand respect for another's house rules. I've felt my patience waning and decided it was time to hang up my "@", or better yet, pass it on to someone trustworthy to keep the tradition going.Forum rules
Welcome to the Leverguns.Com General Discussions Forum. This is a high-class place so act respectable. We discuss most anything here other than politics... politely.
Please post political post in the new Politics forum.
At the Shootist Holiday this year I talked it over with Andy Larsson of Skinner Sights and he agreed to take on the role of main administrator of the Leverguns and Leverguns Community franchise. I've had no time to dedicate to trying to grow the site and it has been a legacy site for some time. It is my belief that in time Andy will further develop and expand Paco's site with the same level of excellence we all know and love. He's introduced himself already so you can get to know a bit about him.
I'll be hanging around to help where I can, sure don't want to leave Andy and y'all in the lurch. Our goal is to have a smooth transition and to keep things rolling along for a good while yet.
Andy, welcome aboard! Thanks for stepping up and taking on this task.
