Farmboy91 Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 So, as I usually do, stuck pigeon watch into the search bar, but instead of clicking straight on the Web page, I flicked down a few scrolls at which point a came across the stalking directory. Now I have briefly visited the forum before when searching for thing's, and I'm aware some of the members of PW are also SD members. After reading two PW related threads pretty glad I'm not a member, alot of the things the forum was knocked for are the reasons what make this forum so great, no doubt this post will make its way along there at some point. Mods do a great job, keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got plenty odd ones on here 😂 It just seemed like a shooters version of Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Thank you for the kind words, it is appreciated. Different forums have different feels and their own ethos. Some will suit more than others, but that is a strength more than anything else. It's worth remembering that most of the threads on there slating PW or laying into people on here were started by people with axes to grind who ignored warnings or who reacted badly when they didnt get things their way and got banned from here, so they tend to be very selective with their versions of events. We and most other forums nip that sort of thing in the bud quickly but the admins on there join in on the threads which seems a shame I think. Other than that I've always thought there was some enjoyable content on there. On which note, and irrespective of their approach we don't want SD itself or its members to be dogpiled or slated on here so please keep it as respectful as it has been so far. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted December 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 I did notice that quite a few did seem to have been banned at some point. I didn't want to be seen as knocking the SD forum, just when you see something like that it gives a bad impression. Your last paragraph says alot for the PW forum and those who use it 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mainly joined SD & UKV for the classifieds section, I don't find their 'off topic' to be very active. on a different note, how many UK shooting forums are there?

Dougy Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 UKV UK Varminting but dont like too much on the Varminting side of shooting. Its more about advertising from very few traders pushing their wares. Plenty of important people on there if you ever want to rub shoulders with the elite.
