I belong to three forum groups: CFF, GlockTalk, and AR15.com. Of the three, I spend conservatively 90% of my forum time on CFF, and 5% each on the other two. There are many good reasons for this disparity, imo:
  • this is the best run, managed, and administered
  • this is the cleanest and most functional layout
  • this is populated by the most intelligent and articulate members
  • this has the most value, both material and non-material
  • this is the most educational
  • this is the most entertaining
I may have missed some attributes, but you get the idea - I really love it here!

All this keeping in mind that I am nonetheless a major Glock and AR platform fanboi!

I spend most of my time here. In the past I’ve been on the Bushcraft forum. I lurk a few others at times, but nothing of note. I know all y’all and this is less a forum to me and more of a friends gathering.

Shadowspear.com, a SOF forum. But of the handful of forums I'm on, 99% of the time I'm here or there. I like M4Carbine.net, too, but it's becoming too much like ar15.com (where I got booted).

Wait, wait, wait... there's other forums???


Here, and to a lesser extent bcusa, that's about it for me.
 
99% on CFF, I always walk away a little smarter each time I visit. NCGO 1%.
I will read Ruger, S&W, Beretta, Sig and a few more but never post or sign up.

I have accounts on about a dozen sites.
a Buell forum - about once or twice a week max
a punk rock forum - each day, once a day, to check for 'news' (ie: tours, upcoming releases etc), dont even post
two MR2 forums - I check each once a day, might post 5 or 6 posts a week
two EDC forums - not been on either in months
grassroots motorsports - check the for sale section about twice a month

Well, that's about it, I guess.

This place is home. I love it.
 
I would also add that having belonged to every iteration of this forum since '09, a whole buncha folks on here have become my friends. Some have become brothers. In fact, just about everyone that I willingly interact with IRL is on this forum.

Maybe I should get out more, I dunno. I hang out here, 'cos that's where my peeps are.
 
The nice way to say it was this place is like hanging out in a friends garage, drinking beer, looking at nudie mags and talking about guns, politics and making fun of each other.

But it’s kinda like Walmart where you can find panties and bras, beer and guns, lube and car parts and the management doesn’t kick you out unless you steal or take a deuce in the frozen foods section.
 
I'm on reddit, basically for the r/gundeals sub. I rarely post.
I browse the AKFiles, but haven't logged in since I signed up.
 
The AKfiles.... while it's tamed down quite a bit it's still an asylum of the finest type. Rimfire Central is a good source of 22 info.
 
CFF: 90%. AKFiles: 9.6%. AR15: 0.3% (and only for the AK equipment exchange). My new local gun forum: 0.1%.

I've said it before here but it's worth mentioning again ... my wife and I recently had to move out of state for her career. Everything about this relocation has been bittersweet. Gun-wise, the ranges aren't great. The membership-based clubs are few and far between, and are especially Fuddy from the folks I've interacted with. But besides the weather and lack of topography, the most glaring difference is the online gun community. I quickly found and joined a local gun forum, but it is hot, steaming garbage compared to this community.

CFF is unique and special in a lot of wonderful ways. I may not call the Carolinas home anymore, but this place still feels like home to me in some ways more than the actual house I'm typing this from. Hell, I just renewed my CFF membership - y'all who haven't already should consider it too, if you really love it here. It takes a helluva lot more glue than @Derek8404's members-only pics to hold this "nuthouse" together! :cool:

yo can you put the naughty rag down please, that dumb skank is blocking my view of those beautiful, voluptuous, double stack 19 round glocks behind you. good lord, some respect please. It has feelings. And it’s impressionable. No need to expose it to that smut.
 
This is a solid place to hang out and I am here more than most other places but I also post on. I find most forums have an ebb and flow to them. This one is more consistent than most. High quality info with reasonable and respectful debates.

I am a member but rarely post on. Most of these are because I ran down a brand rabbit hole and needed more info.
