I'm not looking to start a flame battle. For what it's worth they have "sanitized" the posting limit discussion and removed most of the petty comments that were made by their administrator. My 2 cents are they have financial issues which allowed something small to blow up into something much larger. I'm not sure who owns the forum any longer, but I'd say someone was sold a bill of goods on that site turning a profit and that has not happened.
Jay, don't forget Don from your list of rebels, Mr. Findley has also been banned from the .com Forum.
I would ask a favor of anyone that is willing to risk the wrath of the .com administrators to post a picture of my Ruger Business card somewhere on the site or at least a reference to find me on this one. I don't think I have any deals still lingering over there but I don't want anyone to think I ran off without fulfilling my obligations.

Thank you. You can make a note on the counterfeit that the original seller made it right and the check arrived in the mail to purchase it back over the weekend.

Done! Next time I'm driving through I.Falls on my way to Montana I'd love to grab lunch and talk Rugers!
Re: Banned from Ruger forum
Always happy to meet up with someone that shares the Ruger disease. I tend to be on the road for work a lot. I spent more nights in a hotel in 2025 than I did in my own bed. As such in the last two weeks I have had dinner with two other Rugerholics in both Washington and Oregon while out working. We also have an awesome Ruger Display show coming up in Nampa Idaho the first weekend in January. It's always a blast even if you are not setting up a display. I think there were 15 display tables last year plus quite a few sale tables dedicated to Ruger items.
Since you mentioned Montana - GO GRIZ

I would love to go to the Nampa show, but I work a lot with the Ski Industry and as such, am busier than a one armed paper hanger.twriggen wrote: ↑Sun Dec 07, 2025 4:12 pm Always happy to meet up with someone that shares the Ruger disease.

Re: Banned from Ruger forum
Welcome to the club.....I am going on10 years I believe......it was the best thing ever I am free.....
I can now buy Colts and Smiths without guilt

Funny thing is I have not been kick off the Colt Forum or the Smith Forum .....
I still sometimes check out the RF as a guest and I see the same old guys I once called it Facebook for old guys..
Don't worry Troy it is their loss not yours.......though I am a paying member of the CF and most certainly would be on the RF as I tried to get them to offer that right before I was considered to be a threat to the RF......at this point I have moved on ..... I would not go back if they asked me too .......Ale8's name is DICK for a reason it clearly fits him well....RR

Re: Banned from Ruger forum
dot net has always seemed to be better ran. Moderators are not as hot-headed, good group of people (for the most part).
