Full auto elitest suck..... We are all into the same thing full or semi..... It's not like the board is moving to fast or anything... Why else would you want two boards other than to separate factions? |
Full auto elitests (is that a word?) do suck. Thats not the reason at all. (thanks for actually replying too, BTW).
This board moves pretty slow at times as we all know, you are right about that.
Semi and Full are NOT the same thing. Its not even in the same ballpark. We both know that. I don't think that it would create factions either...unless people with bad attitudes started that kind of behaviour. I think the board would grow a lot more if the semi auto only guys and gals were allowed to discuss thier guns without having to post in here. I have been told on more than one occasion that posting on this site about a semi intimidated the poster and they never posted.
I think a semi auto only forum would foster growth of the site.

I voted "I don't give a f&$k"
The only reason I voted that way is because it was closer to my opinion than the other choices (I do actually give a f@#k.)
Separating the SA guys from the FA guys is fine with me, as long as the SA guys can post on the FA board. There is no doubt that the TSMG (of any kind) is different than the 27A1, but many SA guys want to become FA guys. Those that obtain real TSMGs are lucky; the others that do not, want to get as close to a real TSMG as possible (SBRs, display guns, etc.)
With all that said, there will be many questions about SA guns that are better asked to FA guys.
I like the board the way it is. If it did split, then so be it. It wouldn't stop me from visiting the board.
I understand what Z3 is saying. There may be some that feel that SA people are not worthy of hanging out with the FA guys.
Even as proud as I am of my converted 27A1 to FA, I do realize that it is still not a "true" Thompson; only a replica. It is however a "true" sub-machinegun and I would hope that others on the board would not try to ding me when I refer to it as a Thompson.
Just my $.02 worth.

Seems like this was asked before and the answer was keep them together.

From what I have been reading, the issues and resolutions tend to differ from the full-auto versions.

Oh yeah, and I hope the question I posted last night about my 1927 wasn't the breaking point to do this poll

Two boards just makes it harder to find information.

To address a couple of other points:
There should be no reason why one couldn't browse and post in both forums. A FAQ can certainly be written by our members and tacked atop a semi forum too. I really don't understand how anyone would fell like a second rate citizen if there was a semi auto forum and thats they type of Thompson they own.

Didn't you start this Shit last year too? or was that someone else? Either way I think you were involved.

Having said that, I did not buy my Thompson, it was a Christmas gift from my wife. (She is a keeper.) Looking at all the FA posting has gotten my enthusiasm up to do research on Thompsons, SA and FA, and although I am happy with my SA, I would like to get one (or more) FA.

Hmmmm... Are you talking price, function, rarity, or what? I submit that they are not that far off.... So if you had a question about an L Drum would you post in S/A or F/A... How about a pouch, whether it is correct for reinactment? You would have to double post many times to make sure both sides of the church can hear you... Get your piece of paper and do the Franklin test... Divide it in half and put the "yes" reasons on one side, and the "no" on the other..... I think even you will have more no's than yes's.....
"I really don't understand how anyone would fell (I hope they wouldn't fall) like a second rate citizen if there was a semi auto forum and thats they type of Thompson they own."
Speaking of second rate citizens.... would we have a Colt™ board for those that own a "real" Thomspon....
