New section coming – input needed
Hey everyone. I want to add another section to the TAG and wanted to hear everyone’s opinions as to what it should be. The two choices that I am leaning towards are either “Big Bores” which would be a completely new section or “Edgun” which could either be a completely new section or a sub-section of the “Other” guns area. I say that it could be under either, and the reason for that is that I see the TAG as a site about innovation (the AirForce guns are EXTREMELY innovative in their mod-ability) and the Edgun is just that as well.
So, I want to hear everyone’s thoughts and comments. If there is enough interest in the Edgun side of things I will speak with Matador’s owner and his US importer to see whether we could become an official hub/forum for them as I think that in the next few years the Edgun will see a lot of aftermarket modifications.
Please, do not limit your ideas to the two sections mentioned – I am up for any well thought ideas. Lastly, whatever the section may end up being please be aware that some help may be needed from you guys in hunting down relevant threads so that they can be moved to the new areas, and also in starting new topics and giving them a push.
TY.
Ross

You know folks are resistant to change. Just how it is. But you also know that you will be supported.
You all know I love my Big Bores and will contribute to a Big Bore section. I’ll pop over to an Edgun section now and then to act like I’m not jealous of the Edgun owners.
….then in a couple years, the new format will be the preferred format, and folks wont want to change it. Just human nature.
I really think it’s cool you are asking for input here, but the bottom line is folks will resist.
Go ahead and create the new forums… Folks will either use it or they wont. If they dont, get rid of it.
Just be glad we arent as uptight as some of the folks on the Yellow….haha
x2
…and Tron….

Wether for or against a format change there is obviously a lot of interest in the other guns section . Maybe it could be divided into sub sections , general , big bore , edgun and any thing else down the line that seems to have a lot of interest .
Holy fatty foods, that would crash the site for sure!!
Talk about ” To much Bandwidth” 😀
If Tron wants to try to put in a new section then I am all for it. 😉
Do we really want a gallery of wieners?
How about a “What WOK has eaten today” section?
I think you hit the nail on the head here Tron….
Make a section for something like
“New Air Gun Innovations/News” …
We can post info on things that are in the works or
the newest thing on the market reviews…
asection for Tom Gaylord? mmmmmmm 🙂
Hmmmmm… No….. 😆

Let’s be honest here – AirForce make a very good platform but they have lagged so far behind it is a joke. They rely on what is effectively one rifle that has hardly changed since the day it came out and because of that there is never a large influx of people coming here seeking to find out the latest news. My thoughts were that by adding new sections we can at least look forward to a wider base market to start with and that, by definition, gives more people for us to play with.
Thats what I mean. Will the extra traffic affect the sites performance.
The hamsters will hold up just fine.
I vote for a big titty avatar section. Maybe a rimmy section and rename other guns to other air guns. Remove the crono stuff. Merge general and off topic. They seem too similar. Or rename general to general airgun. Maybe add a HPA/fill thread. There seems to be many repeat questions on filling.

I agree with LAMA. But see, i LOVE all airguns and i go to the OTHER GUN section quite often.
I like it just the way it is. You already have a OTHER GUN section. Plus, not TOO many folks have edguns and big bores yet. Not like they have condors and talons and other small bore airguns.

Thanks for the input and support, guys. I will create a sub section for Other Guns, I think, and put Big Bores and Edgun in there. I very much want to talk with Matador’s owner as well, with a mind for a mutually beneficial helping. You know, Perestroika and all that.
Sorry if I may have come across as snappy in this thread. That is not the case. I am just hellaciously busy and stressed with work.
