So we have to do it this way. It wastes our time, and is frustrating, but some new members have left us no other option.

I understand this and i do agree with it .
but is it more of a quality post to jump into a post that has a question about a 1911 with saying BUY A GLOCK .

or saying welcome to ingo in the greetings

see what i am saying ..

I know there is no way around this

I wouldnt want your jobs because it is frustrating ..

The "buy a glock" post is equally worthless and will be treated as such when it's clear that it's being used to skirt the rules.

my take on the way it is worded is the best way to quality is send money

Not a mod just a poster, but its probably to stop people from going into the welcome thread and posting "Hi, welcome to INGO" to the last 50 people that posted there, and things of that nature.

I'm glad to see it!!!!! I know it has been suggested before.
This way it seperates the people who have an interest in participation in the site from the (FLY-BY-Nighters) who get their 10 posts...sell their items and disappear.

WAY TO GO FENWAY !!!!!!!

I find this unfortunate for the people read every post of every subforum and do not respond (like myself). Lets get this straight first, I read A LOT of posts.

Trust me, before this goes any further, I completely understand.

I am on here everyday, learning more and more each time I sign in but I will not just make a random post to feel like I am participating in a forum. I feel that another well educated firearm owner is just (or maybe even more) valuable as someone who posts information and shares their knowledge. Unfortunately at this point, I probably do not have much to post that is "new" knowledge to the community.

No hard feelings here, just something to think about.

Lurkers is exactly why we hesitated on this for over a year. We hate to burden you, but at the same time take this as an opportunity to get to know you better.

No burden here for me . I know I am just as valuable as anyone else here. After all the point of this forum is to educate other follow Indiana Firearm Owners.

Happy 'ing to all.

I've been considering becoming a INGO advertiser as I currently manufacture many items firearms related right here in good ole Indiana. However, I've been hesitant as the riff-raff rants and undermining of some of the other advertisers & individual sellers left me concerned that INGO would go the way of other sites I supported in the past of which I terminated my relationship due to the constant drama. I'm glad to see the effort to maintain a quality standard, certain level of professionalism, along with some ethics & moral values. And remember.....
