Can we have some clear guidance on the purpose of this new forum please? Currently I don't see anything distinct and of 'added value' that posting here enables, that just using all the other forums doesn't already offer. Why should I post here for example about an original percussion rifle as opposed to just posting it under "Percussion Rifles"?
When the forum was announced I saw opportunity to post information and pictures about historical arms creating over time a useful reference tool. Instead, for example, my post on English gunmaker Harvey has given way to a melee of unrelated posts and general chat. I've given up on the idea of taking the information on Harvey any further.
I would like to see:
Clear thread titles so I have a good idea of what to expect - not just 'My New Antique Gun' or such
Pictures and identification of the gunmaker (where known) and/or a clear description - something that will show up in search
Stick to subject - maybe it just needs some robust moderation?
Remember there's already a 'Firearm Identification' forum, for that purpose.
Thanks for your consideration.
