The PP main page has a chat room. Join the chat group and jump in. The only problem I see is that they suffer from the same thing we do, not much activity.

Gay gun groups have always had problems attracting and keeping people. Placing a link to the PP web page would be a big help, but I'm also wondering if starting a discussion forum at the PP main page might be even better. Think the PP people would be up for it?

If we do move, which I too think is a good idea, could we possibly find a place with a more manageable address? Maybe someplace which is also more visible. Right now I feel like we're living out in the swamps, hidden by whatever vegetation grows so thick a person can't see through the mess.
I did a Google search of "gay gun websites" and found the Pink Pistols, something about hairy nuts and an article on baldy locks??!!! etc. etc. Nothing about this site, however.
I think the time has come to move into the suburbs at least and into a home that we can maintain with an address people can find. ;D

Mods can't make admins. but Kacer can get over to proboards and get some help. Does she have whatever codes Wayne was using? I'm also wondering if you were ever able to get in touch with him! One other thought, Wayne has the right to end this board any time he wants because he is the owner. No one else can do that. Do you guys really want to put all this work into something that could be pulled away without notice or reason!?
I'm also not sure if Kacer can login using a different computer because she is still using her own ISP and her own IP address. All that doesn't change just because the computer is changed unless Kacer starts a new account with her ISP.

Kacer is an administrator and has the same rights as Wayne did. She should be able to do anything he could except shut down this site, only the owner (Wayne) can do that. The problem is getting Kacer logged in.

I'll buy shorthand. I wish I'd of thought of that, C269! Ha, I might have a new name to use on so many boards.
I'm wondering about what we can do if Wayne can't be found. In real estate there is something called a wrap around deal. The owner of a home with a first mortgage sells to a second buyer, but carries the loan so no bank is involved. Later, the second owner decides to sell to a third buyer, but the second owner carries the loan, again no bank involvement. This is called a wrap around deal. It works if everyone makes payments buy if the first owner stops paying his mortgage the entire deal falls apart.
What does a wrap around deal in real estate have to do with our predicament you ask? Nothing, but the concept of using the same address and board with an automatic switch to a different board might work. If we start our new board then different administrators can run the new board with the obvious benefits. I don't know if all the info can be switched or not, but all this might be fun to try.

Good, I hope this works. Has Kacer tried to start a new account through yahoo and then try logging on here? She might have to use a different name and start a new account here.

Ohhh, C269, now I get it. I couldn't figure out what C269 was, a code or something maybe.
The board needs an administrator and owner. If we can't find Wayne then can we convince PorBoards to let someone else take over the site? The very bottom of this web page has a line stating this board is hosted for free by ProBoards. Click on that and see what can be accomplished if anything.
Other than finding Wayne or someone else to take ownership, we might think of moving to someplace different, our own board for instance and add a link from this one to our new board.
Thanks for trying guys, but if Wayne took out most of the administrators, Kacer could of been a casualty too.
Starting a new board might be in our best interest as some of us have skills that could be applied here to make this place more inviting!
Just a thought.

Thanks, maybe you can unblock Kacer too?

I've done just that. I just changed specialists and he changed my drugs, what a difference. If things keep going like this, I'll be chasing elk and deer during hunting season again and escaping the city life every chance I get to go camping and fishing in the mountains. I really missed reloading and shooting and all the other stuff I used to do.
HIV is just another speed bump in life, others have it worse and some have it better. You adapt and just keep going.

Kacer got the boot? What else have I missed!
Over the past two and a half years I've been adjusting to life with hiv. Unfortunately I also paired up with an hiv specialist that wasn't looking out for my best interest, but the drug companies interest instead. I recently changed hiv doc's and meds and have begun to improve. The side effects from the first drug combo caused lots of problems, but the new drugs I'm on seem to be less problematic. I can only wait and see if I can turn things around.
Shooting is a dirty sport with spent powder getting everywhere, so I had to back away for a while. Shooting indoors was also a problem even with a good ventilation system.
So, I'm looking for an outdoor range that I can frequent without traveling a gazillion miles and one that won't cost hundreds of $$$. I was shooting a lot before my bug came to live with me and I'd like to get back to blazing away again.
I wish I could help with the problem this site is having, but if people like Kacer get kicked out what chance do we really have. I don't remember her attacking anyone in a bad way, but only that she was very opinionated.
Regardless of personal issues and people getting banned, if folks don't post and only choose to read, what can anyone really do! As for me, I just get preoccupied with other stuff, like breathing!!! Just kidding!

You guys are doing a great job. I especially like the quick response at the bottom of the page. Will any of the State topics be brought back? I know Colorado was kicking butt, but we here in Colorado are humble folk. We're not trying to tweak anyone or any thing like that.

"We"? Do you mean all gay people? How in the world do you think "we" can agree on anything when "we" are so fractured in what "we" want. "We" can't even support one another if "we" don't care for or don't think an activity is proper, ie firearms and self protection. "We" are still told to get lost when "we" try to meet at the GLBT community center with a pro firearms group.
OK, I know you understand the issues, but our group is not strong enough or excepting of all aspects of gay life which is much the same as the heteros currently have.
I guess what I'm saying is that we do know what we want. We want to be treated equally, the same as everyone else. Families, jobs, security, etc.
I'm just flabbergasted that our equal rights must be approved by other people. We are human beings too and should get equal rights from the get go. This world or some of the people in it are just nuts!

I wish I could say more folks understand what gay people want... Unfortunately more states are amending their constitutions to exclude or discriminate against gays.
