Q:

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

I think it would be safe to say that you could remove the Soft Chrony
section if you’re in the mood to clean.. 🙂

Maybe add a “Technical, Modifications, yadda yadda” section to “Other
guns”… And give Walter have a “Big Bore” section….
And make the text rap around sooner so we don’t have to scroll across to
read posts when large pictures are added… :8

NO don’t do that! it can sit there just fine!!!!!!
I woud want it to stay for the reference.

No, the bandwidth is more than capable of handling any new sections. It is not the number of sections that defines what speed we run at but rather how much net traffic we see.

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.

Fuck it it Tron’ just do it if it tickles your fancy. You’re the admin.
You are right, its getting a bit ‘samey’ at the mo’ same old questions, same old answers.
People will get used to it, and come to appreciate it I’m sure.
Will the sites bandwidth accommodate it or can we look forward to super slow performance??

No, nothing like that Mam. Just feels like a bunch of old washer women sometimes.

Time to ‘poll’ it?

I am all for a BigBore section and leave the Edgun etc as is under OtherGuns.

Walter…..

Heck Tron… WE will love you no matter what you do… I think the consensus
is that if you are asking us if we need more topics the answer would be no
but, I don’t think anyone will leave just because you add what you think
would make the site better…. We support your decisions 100%… Feel the
love….

Ok, seems that people don’t want a new section or to expand our potential membership. Not much that I can do about that, so I won’t try. I was just hoping that people would care for something fresh as, to me at least, the AirForce line of products is stale as a week old bagel.

Maybe new guns, that have not been around long enough to find the bugs in them yet. I am quite satisfied with the forum as is though, just here to make suggestions, such as some also have firearms and that goes under others also.

How’s about getting rid of the Edge Topic all together 🙄 🙄 🙄
And how’s about making a Topic, so rightly called,
The naked girl, big boobie, tight assed, young hottie section 😉 😉
This would free up the Off Topic traffic, and make a good place for all the older Gen. farts that still like porn on occasion 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛

Just messing around-

I understand where you are coming from. However, here is my fear in the matter. An edgun and/or bigbore section honestly wouldn’t hurt much of anything. One more in the list of 8 or so isn’t a big deal. However, then people start wanting to talk about fx rifles, so a new setion is made for that. Someone brings up rws, and a new section is made for that. Cheap chinese guns get a section. You end up with sections for every kind of gun, and there are way too many.

While this works fine for information retrieval. I want to know about the trigger on my RWS, so I go to the RWS section and find it. However, we would loose contact with half of the members. Tofu would hang out in the big bore section, a few guys would be in the condors, some would be in the edguns, and people would just be scattered about.

I never go looking for bigbore stuff. I just don’t care to buy one (if I can talk cygnus into giving me his .308 kit I’ll be happy though!) But I never look them up. However, I love to see Tofu’s videos of tearing stuff up with his guns. If we split up the sections, people would be so confined to their area that they wouldn’t have much contact with other stuff.

And I know, “just click on the other sections and read there.” Sure, that would work, but people would be less inclined to look at threads about different stuff if everything they want to know is in one little spot.

I’m ranting here, but the reason is I recently was looking for info on .22lr stuff. So I came across rimfirecentral.com. They have the exact same thing I don’t want this place to turn into. It seems like a thousands little sections, and tell me honestly, do you want to go read through each one to find out little facts about them?

In an effort to reduce one tall stack of clutter, you end up with 300 really small stacks.

And as AKULA said. I hate change.

I honestly can’t believe I just wrote that much about this. I am now going to go enjoy the variety of guns in the “other gun” section. 😀

Why not just let owners of “other guns” either find an existing site for that gun, OR start one..hell it can go with the “OTHER” section we already have….I own several Crosmans…I go to Crosman sites for them..I come HERE for Condor, Talon, and TalonSS ..just my $0.02 worth 😎

I think “other guns” is fine like it is for Edguns. big bores etc…… Thats usually my second place to go when I get on the forum, classifieds is first.

As much as I think the EDgun section would be great, I am not sure how
much traffic it would get… The EDgun is accurate right out of the box with no
modifications available or necessary…. Lots of great EDgun storys of
consistency and accuracy but I think that is a pretty well known fact now….
There are only 3 EDguns being imported. The Matador Standard, Lelya
.177cal, and Veles pistol…. I think a .22cal Lelya is in the works but just
hasn’t gotten to the USA yet so, I am kinda with rob3dr on this one.
