Attention RLB Gypsies

[DrHenley]

The RLB Beta site has now been elevated to Permanent Refugee Camp status

No Doc, I'm not buying it. Sorry, but I do not plan to join the new site. While my reason may not be a problem for many, it is more than enough for me. After reading the terms of use when I checked out your "new RLB site" weeks ago when it was first set up, I discovered that (just like at YUKU) everything posted (that includes photos) becomes the property of the site's owners and I would need their permission to publish elsewhere anything I might post. (My lawyer looked it over and agreed with me 100%.) That makes it completely unacceptable for me. FWIW there are a number of other popular firearms forums with similar terms of use, and I do not join them either. I was warned to always read the rules carefully before joining any forum. I signed onto pre-YUKU knowing that, and figured if I was careful about what I posted I could put up with it until we found a decent home. I think we have found a good one here. I do not consider this site to be another "bomb shelter". I consider it to be a welcome and suitable home for us. Obviously you do not.

Here at all three GunLoads forums (just like at Greg's original RLB site and several others) the individual posters retain full rights to what they post. Unlike many of you, I write for a living. Much of what I post on various forums is/will be published elsewhere when and as I see fit. I will ask NO ONE for PERMISSION TO USE MY OWN WORK. This is an issue I will neither debate nor compromise on, never have, never will.

I'll be hanging out over here. I am not a fan of free forums and their baggage either. Hopefully we can resurrect this forum and move forward instead of creating more forums for people to share less and less of their time reading.

Hellrazor I think a fair start to improving the usage of this forum has started.

[BBerguson]

Yep, I kind of like it here too and the guys I really liked conversing with are here. Wasn't that the original goal to find a place we could call home? The only one missing is Greg and he was Mia from rlb anyways...

I joined both sites
I don't write like Versifier does so to me it's no big deal
I just want to stay in touch with as many people as I can that I've met on the RLB
I'm glad a lot of us are visiting both sites
I'll continue to do the same

I am also going to visit both sites. I like the folks at both of them. Besides, nobody wants to buy what I write anyway LOL

[j1]

I currently visit three sites. No big thing for me as my writing will never be used commercially.

"I don't shoot so to me it's no big deal"

There are a lot of folks I really don't want to lose touch with either, and aside from the "free forums" issue we don't need a mod who throws hissy fits. But at least it's now clear exactly where the problem is and I can simply avoid it while still having a nice place here for all who want to come. They all know we're here, that they're welcome, and we're easy to find.
