I think it's some sort of private clique. I lost interest in trying to get in long ago. Haven't lost any sleep over it.

Taz, are you already a member or are you trying to register?
Paden, actually, it's not really that at all. The folks that run the site don't allow people to register using "free" email addresses like yahoo, gmail, hotmail etc. This is because so many spambots are out there trying to get in and wreak havoc and the people who run the site don't want to deal with it..... So, those email addresses get sent to a spam folder and nobody ever sees them. If you use an email address given by your internet service provider to register, you shouldn't have any issues. I think it's a gun site, run by gun folks more than tech folks.

taz,,, the Ruger Forum does have it set up to where they don't allow free email accounts to prevent spamming & such as noted above. However, send a message to the admins, and they will go in & allow your email to be accepted, once they know you aren't a spammer.
BUT,,,,,,,,, to add to the frustrations,,, they (admins) are slow as they are volunteers. The owner has some health issues, and isn't on much at all anymore. I had a question a while back, and I sent a message to the admins,,, and it took almost 2 weeks to get a reply. They have real jobs & aren't always available to quickly handle things.
If the problem persists, PM me your registration info & I'll send the admins a note on your behalf.

Thank You Not long ago I tried contacting an administrator and the site owner via PM and never heard back from either. Seems to be par for the course over there. |

I was registered for several years, and posted from time to time. Then I changed ISP's several years ago, and have been unable to post, register, etc. since then, despite multiple attempts.
Like taz and Paden, I don't have the patience for it. I get by just fine without it.

If you use an email address given by your internet service provider to register, you shouldn't have any issues. A large percentage, if not the vast majority of ISP's don't provide their own email service... It's not an option for me. RF is excluding a lot of people...but that's their right. Anyway, as I said, I haven't lost any sleep over it. |
