There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Now I've just got to throw Gunny Ermey at you! :roflblack:
:lecturef_smilie: But I do it only to remind everyone in here, about what sort of personal attacks are frowned upon!

I think that my personal political views are pretty obvious:
I'm a Conservative Republican, who loves his firearms and freedom! :thumbup:
I guess that there's also a touch of Civil Libertarian thrown in, because I'd like to see the Government made MUCH smaller...
If someone doesn't agree with me: that's cool too! :clap:
A divergence of opinions is always welcome, as it helps to promote honest discussions of important National and World events.
I'm with ye, brother.

Let's step back and take a look!
I do believe you guys have missed my point. I personally enjoy all the jokes and just about every one of the politician oriented pictures and comments. I have not taken offense at any of them, but some I have cringed at.
I spent 22 years with Uncle Sam at the Departments of Army and Energy watch dogging contractors. A big part of that job was looking at the rules and regulations and then looking at the contractors' actions. If the actions didn't comply it was my responsibility to say something. I had to be objective. There was no room for subjective opinion. Often there was room for interpretation and sometimes the final decision was to back off with the attitude of it's better to be safe than sorry. In those 22 years it often was my responsibility to make an interpretation.
In this forum it is not my responsibility to interpret nor enforce the rules. That clearly is Lamont's jurisdiction. But when I look at his rules on the one hand, and objectively look at some of the recent posts on the other hand, all I'm saying is it looks to me like we have some infringements of the rules. We all need to pay attention to the rules. If you look at them, and look at what you are ready to post, and don't see any conflict, then post it. But if it looks like maybe you're pushing the boundaries a little too much, then don't post it.
I want to see those posts continue, but I'm a little bit afraid they may not. But then, I don't know what Lamont's tolerance level is when you compare a post to a rule so maybe I am just crying wolf, but I don't think so.

Still sounds like you are being the Thread Police.
One of the things Lamont has integrated into his site is the "Ignore" button, so if there is someone you think posts stuff you don't like, you can ignore that person so that you won't be offended.
Just my .02 cents worth

I look at this as just more banter and conversation among friends. The stuff that has been posted this week has had a bit of a political theme--but--if those people want to put themselves out for public scrutiny--its going to happen.
We have not called anybody names (other than the usual--crook etc. :roflblack
.
The site has gone through a bit of a "dry" spell with nothing more than a bunch of technical information. I welcome getting back to what it was. We do self police, and those who have been on the edge kind of know how far to go without getting called out on it.
There are a few threads I don't reply to--because sometimes, it is better to say nothing as opposed to adding fuel to a fire that may get the thread and the posters booted.
The humorous threads are a bit of a relief. If I don't like the humor, I just avoid that particular thread.
I like more choices. Keep it all coming. I will read what I want, comment on what I like, and ignore a few. (Not many though).
And--be careful out there. :roflblack::roflblack:
