I know, it's been a while. Aintcha glad? LOL
A lot has taken place in our family since my last rambling post. But to be honest, a lot of life's unexpected turns has prevented me from being as active and posting my ramblings. Some good, some not so good. And some coming events.
First off, we are blessed to still have our good friend and volunteer staff member Jesse (Booger) still among us and fighting the good fight. Please keep him and his family in your prayers and drop him a donation when you can. Keep fighting Jesse, we still need you here my friend!!!
Prayers still going up for all of our GTA family that was affected by the events of the past year. The fires out West and now the hurricane in the SE. I hope we have not lost any family members because material stuff CAN be replaced. Let us know how you faired.
We have had a few changes in the GTA vendor area. Some have been removed and some added. Please keep in mind we do have a tough set of standards a vendor must not only achieve but maintain to earn the title of GTA sanctioned vendor. There will certainly be more movement in that area so please keep a watch on the vendor gates and announcements.
We will be gearing up for another excellent GTA support raffle very soon. I have ben wanting to start one but honestly, I have had absolutely no time to do this. Please remember that when we start a raffle, I am literally glued to the keyboard for the first 48 hours to keep the list updated and current. It's a must and cannot be automated. But I will be putting up a great package from Rick Eustler very soon, hopefully before the end of the week. But also remember we stay alive by your donations ONLY. We do not sell advertising space and never will. We need and gladly accept your donations ANY time. Whether you want to win a raffle item or have no interest in it at all. And many thanks for those that donate items for our support raffles.
We updated the mobile app for GTA. There were a few hiccups at first but I've not gotten much feedback lately. And I don't use a smart phone to access the forum. Please send me your thoughts and comments, we need to know if things are okay or need more attention.
Mark your calendar for the weekend of May 18, 2019. We will once again have our annual Fun Shoot/Airgun Show in Horseshoe Bend, AR. We are looking at reserving an entire resort of cabins just minutes from the event and right on the water. Will see if we can swing this arrangement and will post more later. But keep this in mind. Our events just keep getting bigger and better. And it's for you and because of you that our event is a do not miss event!!!
See you all there.
Thanks again to all of our outstanding vendors for the continued support. Please visit the GTA sanctioned vendors FIRST when you are in the market for anything airgun related. They have earned our support along with their title!!!
The GTA classifieds is getting bigger and better. But we still have sporadic issues with folks not reading the rules that pop up for you to read and accept before placing an ad. There are many places on the world wide interweb for you to advertise and sell items. But I honestly feel here on GTA you have a bit more safety and definitely cheaper way to advertise. The rules tell you what is required and expected before, during and after an ad is placed. So PLEASE, please read these rules before you accept them and start an ad. You only have to read them completely one time, no matter how many ads you run. And reading them thoroughly will save you and the staff a lot of time and grief.
While I'm at it, thanks to my classified moderator sidekick Norm for helping ride herd on these gates.
Please also give thanks to Rich (amb5500) and David (Rocker1) for the many hours they volunteer to your forum. As well as ALL of your all volunteer staff. Especially Andy (vigilandy) for helping handle the membership application load. And thank goodness, THAT in itself is a major job. But a big thank you to ALL of the staff for their help. We keep growing and I'm sure we will need more volunteer help in the near future. Thanks again to our newest staff volunteer Wayne52. MUCH appreciate your time and effort. It shows.
Your forum continues to grow by 10-20 new members each and every day. After our last purge we dropped back to roughly 12,000 members. In the preceding 6 months, we have built back up to almost 15,000 again. We must be doing something right. I've always said this forum is what you the member makes it. We are member owned and member managed. We're not bought and paid for by any vendor, company, manufacture or distributor. Always remember that, this is your forum!!!
Thanks for keeping it neat, clean, informative and fun. If I miss any important items, please drop me a message and I'll include it in my next ramblings.
Keep an eye on the GTA Support Raffle Gate.
And as always....
SAFE & Happy Shooting!!!!
Dave

God Bless Booger I hope your comfortable Brother! I read a lot of positive in the update and hope we as a group continue to grow and learn and treat each other like kin. Most the vendors here are outstanding and yet I feel few take advantage of this fine landscape and post regularly but hey that’s me. Thank you Dave and Dave and all those who keep this forum running so well, God Bless
