I have no issue with this site or the people. I have less time and willingness to diverge in conversations that are well posted and talked about already in-depth and figured out. This issue I have is the death knell for forums in general that are unique it a single topic. I get that the people come and go in waves of interest but for someone like you and me, we can copy-paste responses and just change the greeting and never miss a beat.
Due to this fact, I like a crackhead have a habit to beat, it's logging in to this site and others like this one. I gain no value from it other than finding out about a few matches that are new. The beating of the habit is the death spin for such places.
Bro, you start by saying "I have no issue with this site or the people" and then go on to explain the multiple things you have against this site and its people.
Bud, if you aren't getting any value, then by all means roll on, or just swing in and check the BST. This place is a community, we don't all like each other all the time, but most of us have met one another, or met someone who met someone on the forum. >This< isn't an "industry" as you go on to describe it. That's kinda what has always set this place apart from multiple other shooting forums.
If you see a topic that you feel has been beaten to death, then remember that we get new people every day. People who may not have been a part of the shooting community before. So when they ask a question, or bring up a topic that >you< may have seen 1,000 times, it may well be their first. You have a unique ability to add to the discussion through your time behind the trigger in combat as well as your time behind the trigger in training classes. Heck, even some topics that have been beaten to death sometimes deserve a bit of a resurrection as new experience/technology/techniques come into play.
