RIP AGN ! I wasn't thrilled when I first encountered the new format! I saw a lot of unhappy members. But, I thought only fair to give it a chance. So, I mucked about for a couple of weeks now, and maybe I haven't gotten it figured out, but it seems to me, not much new happening on here. I think alot of those who were unhappy have gone by by. The classifieds are a pain. The forums are lame. Maybe after a year on here, it is just too repetitive. I suppose I may have a need to visit the site in the future, but unless I am stuck in the waiting room at the Docs, won't be wasting time here.

I've adjusted to the "new" & out of respect for Michael & everyone who busted their humps getting it together I'll keep any negativity to myself (not that I have any). The wealth of knowledge, handy tips & member generosity are all still here. One just has to look, if they want it badly enough. STILL THE BEST AG SITE GOING!

I am not struggling with the new format in any way. I bought my first PC in 1981, and am quite computer literate. I just don't like it. PM's are now conversations. My existing PM's have words bleeped out. Are conversations private? You can see who you are following, but can no longer see who is following you. I don't like the Discussion and Tuning sections of PCP airguns mixed together, nor do I like the WTS, WTB and everything else mixed together in the Classifieds.

One thing that does remain is the ability for posts to disappear without explaination, just like FB, which I no longer use. Yes the site is faster, but much privacy and the free exchange of meaningful airgun information is gone. I too have noticed the frivilous topics and the lack of activity by most of my favorite long time members. I feel the site is now similar to a FB page which I refuse to use much (I did use it once because i was the only way to get an Ed Brown grip for the Leshiy Classic). I do not and will not use Twitter or Instagram either, as they seem to be mediums frequented by shallow non-thinkers just trying to be noticed by copying and sharing things from others.
I plan on checking the site frequently in the hope some of the knowledgeable members return to make it more like it used to be. It was the Members who made AGN what it was.

Yeah gotta say I'm not a fan of the accusation, judge and jury all in one step before talking to the member. Couple members don't understand sarcasm get offended, flag a post and I get told what decision has been made regarding myself. I make a living using my words, written and spoken, and my wit. I refuse to be punished on a curve of the lowest common denominator.

It's a slippery slope.
