Did it get too full?

Too toxic?

To repetitive?

Misplaced?

It's just...... gone

:shocked4:

The outhouse has been removed. All posts from the OH have been moved to either General Firearm Discussion, or General Discussion.

Why?
1) 99% of the topics in the OH were completely acceptable for GD or GFD, so we saw the point of the OH as, well, pointless.
2) Some people felt that the OH meant that they could say/do/act however they wanted, that it was a Code of Conduct free zone. It's not, never has been, never was going to be.
3) True, the OH was not visible to non-members. But once again, 99% of the thread in the OH were completely acceptable for our general discussion areas. Yes, that means that 1% of the posts now are going to be "questionable", but that's a ratio we think we can live with.

Thanks

99% of us should be able to use it, those that caused a previous riot should not :peep:

While it makes sense, I miss the port-o-shitter already.

The demise of the OH had very little to do with the 1%, or less, that caused issues. They will still be causing the same issues regardless.

Removing the OH isn't a punishment. As we have mentioned NUMEROUS times, pretty much all the threads that were in the OH should have been in GD. So it was pointless to have 2 sections that provided the same service.


I don't know why you guys are looking at this as a punishment or blaming members for it's removal. It was standard housekeeping, no more, no less and has been talked about internally for 3 years.

The outhouse was merely the red shirt of WAGuns:

Yes the five people who use crapatalk still see a dead forum.
