Ttfjlc Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 @adymorris there’s a facebook group which has been created to keep people informed of any progress. It currently appears that the owner has disappeared and another guy is going to start a new forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hello, I've been on the AGF many many years and found it ok but the last few years there have been changes that many members found a bit OTT but some mods did not like expressing your views so quite a few were banned, some mods could be quite aggressive , stupid really as it is only a public forum for anyone interested in Air Rifle shooting, Shotgun and FAC, the only advice I could give if there's a new forum proposed is choose your mods wisely , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 I don't like the rule about not advertising a sale item elsewhere. FAC air is usually slow/hard to sell. For example I've had one advertised across three forums for over a year now at a fair price without one person coming to see it: If it was on there it might never sell but I wouldn't be allowed to try it elsewhere.

Hello, have to agree, as I mentioned there were mods with small brains, I think that's why a lot of people left, complained then were banned, it's not an exclusive club, I've never sold anything on the AGF, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably their best rule, along with the sales history and feedback, you know if your buying from a trusted seller and that the item is still there. And the seller can see if your a good buyer and won't mess them about. It's also clear and easy to understand yet folk still tried to ignore it then spat their dummy out when pulled up on it. 59 minutes ago, Good shot? said: Apparently Andy, the AGF site owner has passed away according to a Facebook post..

BSAFan Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Sorry to hear about the owner passing away i was only a member for 3 or 4 years but as has been said the sales rules was good and you knew that you were reasonably sure you would get what you paid for and there was some very good advice for newcomers. I hope i find the same sort of camaraderie on here if you accept me, Good shooting BSA FAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Looking at whats being said the site will be open for 7 days so stuff can be transferred over, looks like people will then need to re register on the new site, no PM information will be moved over so anything you want or people you want to contact do it quickly.

Mice! Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Might be a hectic few days ahead. Looks like the sales rules might be changing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
