I see the last post is in 2023 for General Discussion?

Several of us still use this forum. I normally check it once a day but there isn't a lot of activity. You might try posting on the new forum also. Although I don't think it's as active as this one is.

From what I can see this is the more active of the two.

I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew.

Hello!
Is the forum still dead? I see thousands of views- no comments.
Well, I'll start.
Finally broke down and spent the money on a Colt Commander. I've hankered after a 1911 for a long time and finally pulled the trigger. Got it at Scheels for a decent price. Worked great right out of the box, absolutely zero issues. Thanks, John Browning. 8)

Glad you got what you wanted. Scheels has some of the better prices around.
I look at this forum almost daily. I don't usually have much to say. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I was hoping others would first.

I haven't been active here for several years, but try to check in occassionally. Hey Husker football is rebounding, maybe NFOA forum activity can too  :)

How much the new "Moodle" forum is being used. 5 people in the last month. Is the NFOA done as a grassroots organization? Evidence appears to confirm.

This forum is simple to use. I get on it nearly everyday, scroll down to "Recent Posts" and see if anything is going on. The new forum is way too complex for an old guy like me. Plus it doesn't have the "Recent Posts" option (or at least it didn't the last time I was there).
The lack of activity on the new forum doesn't mean we no longer care about our cause. It's more of a statement on the new forum IMHO.

Same here (though I don't get on as often)....my personal protest is to not visit that other "thing".   
I'm a retired IT guy and not afraid to say that other site is an abomination....wtf?

Yeah, the design of the "new" board is.. well....weird? Forums have looked like this one forever, easy to navigate, see new posts, etc, that one seems to be something else trying to be a message board......
