The race to 50, who will it be today and what do they want

[Expat]

#4 is a good one. I like #4.

I warned him at the start about that one. I don't know if he didn't believe me or wanted to commit suicide by Mod.

LOL, he didnt think you guys could find him down there....

 

[JettaKnight]

he showed his ass in a holier-than-thou PM to another mod in an unrelated exchange. it was clear to me then that he wouldn't last long

It did have it out for CM, didn't he?

They can preach a sermon "Poster in the hands of angry mods", but CM's a saint for putting up with him as long as he did.

There's a chuckle for the day, thanks Expat!

I was surprised he lasted this long.

After seeing this thread, I'm certainly glad it was perceived that way as it truly was my intent. As I have virtually zero experience with a firearm, I'm afraid there isn't much that I can contribute to a relevant topic. But, I'm here to learn more about them and gain some insight from those have experience. After I figure out what handgun I'm most comfortable with, I'm sure I'll be looking for more advice and maybe even a good deal.

The INGO classifieds are a much desired place to participate in. A fair amount of good deals going both directions.
The classifieds actually used to be better before quite a few "professional traders" and flippers found their way in to run unofficial businesses there.

Worried? You have like, 44 quality posts?

44!? How'd that happen?

Dude! If that were a prerequisite, INGO would be a VERY lonely place!

I kept looking through the last few pages to see if I was mentioned. I wasn't really racing to 50, but I had a couple PMs that I couldn't respond to until I got there.

I don't remember you being mentioned.
You participated in conversations.

Runners will generally jump into a conversation, or resurrect an old thread and say something like, "I agree".
Once in a while, that's not bad.
But when you have 50 posts that say that.....

No way you would be mentioned except maybe as a joke. You were fully participating and did get to 50 pretty quickly, but it was the right way. You are contributing to INGOs content. The runners are characterized by posting a series (usually very quickly) of junk posts that others have to wade past to read something useful. They are interested in taking only and not contributing.

That doesn't stop us!


Every once in awhile, we get a good noobie the comes along and really wants to learn something. That is where this forum excels. Welcome again.

Oh, we were watching.

But, we're also pretty good at knowing who wants to participate long-term.

Being a gun newbie is perfectly fine. Questions are just as valid as answers. The Uber thread was quite interesting as it presented a unique situation for us to chat through. When most of us ride in cars, we aren't normally worried about having a potential attacker sitting directly behind us. Made for an interesting discussion on how best to handle it.

Creating a track record on INGO allows buyers/sellers to evaluate you before a transaction. Many will not buy/sell to flippers (those who made 50 and then forever disappear into the classifieds) or who appear pretty shady from their posts. That evaluation plus the Ebay-style feedback score allows you to form a reputation in a way that some free gun sale sites don't and makes INGO transactions much less likely to turn out badly. That is the real secret to why many INGOers favor this site to buy/sell guns.

These will do for starters:

General Forum Rules

1) INGunOwners.com is viewed by thousands of people a day (not all of them gun owners or even gun friendly) As a public board we must make a good impression to those who view our community and represent Hoosier Gun Owners in the best possible light. INGO is a family friendly site and material posted must remain G-rated. Spamming, trolling, flaming or other personal attacks will not be tolerated.

2) Language that would be inappropriate in the polite company of strangers is unwelcome here. Posts which are indecipherable due to the inability to translate thoughts into coherent written statements will be deleted without explanation.

3) Avatars and Signatures are allowed but must be G-rated. Signature size must be appropriate and not distract from the flow of threads.

4) As we can never convey a philosophy through a few rules, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to edit or delete posts and/or to revoke Membership. No Second Chances; No Argument; No Trial; No Way. At best you will receive one warning via PM (Private Message).

I agree.

No. You aren't a runner. And I was a noob when I started here. These are some great guys (except for CM, he doesn't deliver on the cheeseburgers or banning mbills). I keep learning and these guys keep giving me good info. When I get enough coin saved and start my AR build, I fully expect to pick many a brain on here.

See.
By the way. I don't think you have the record for getting your 50 posts. I think that title belongs to Snapdragon.
