I post on about five or six hunting websites but mostly on double rifle and African forums. Very few of the hunting website have much traffic in either of those two categories I Find. maybe yours will be different!

Do you mind letting us know who we are supporting and what your site is all about.

I would like to suggest that you upgrade to a higher spec Forum and host it yourself. The free forums dont function well and you are going to loose all your posts at some point and wont be able to retrieve them.

php BB is a good starting point. Or you can pay for it like Saeed does and use Eve or similar forums.

What is your main purpose for the forum, is it an advertorial based funding machine or do you have a plan etc. Are you going to make a business out of it like Pat at Bowsite, or maybe build it into an online resource. If that is the plan, speak to Shakari for an idea of what it takes to do that.

I also suggest you speak to Jerome at Africahunting.com takes a lot of work to build something that is worth using. Most people who are going to spend more than 30 seconds writing something of value dont want to do it on a site that will become redundant the minute you loose interest etc.

Good luck in your venture, I think more hunting based media is great, however support will only be forthcoming once we know what your objectives with the site are.

Good luck

As we speak I assume my url is being run right now to verify my statement. As most know I don't even own a cell phone and no clue what texting is nor do I want to learn.
I was petitioned by, well, I lost count at 18 fellas from several forums to set up this forum. I really didn't want to do it myself but thought it would be selfish just to think my time would outweigh the requests of the many. They wanted to call it Safari Rifles dot com but the url was $1600.00 www.safaririfles.net was considerably less. Most know here that at one time I had 10 or so tactical weapons forums about the net and knew I could set up a forum and still maintain civil content. Which is about the extent of my computer skills. That and posting pictures. Glance down just below this script and you can see several forums in the links in the signature. The new forum is disimilar in content and title to this forum. SAFARI RIFLES - ACCURATE RELOADING

So even after request I was still on the edge of setting up the forum. Yes I know that was selfish.
The tie breaker was I posted some pics of the .458 Winchester (we tried to sell here but never sold) of when we were coming home from our other place pulled over and shot it the desert. Pics of myself and the wife shooting the rifle were posted and some nasty remarks were made so I pulled the pics, sent GeorgeS a PM and requested if he could just delete the thread. I just thought I'd share a shooting adventure and the first time I posted pics here outside of the buy/sell section. The wife and I both thought this was conduct unbecoming. As a youth I clearly remember being in the crypto room at NORAD at 6 years old and over hearing the JAG saying "If you don't have anything good to say to someone, don't say it!" to a whole bunch of people. I seriously try hard to follow this. Thankfully I have had good roll models.
So the forum was started.......

"I believe this to be one of the better forums around. I really haven't posted much here other than classifieds i.e. selling components buying a gun or buying a gun or buying components. I have over the years watch quite a few threads that start out civil and then turn into a quite heated conversation. I just assumed this was standard modus operandi for the forum and I choose to stand on the sidelines and watch/learn. I never questioned it. I just assumed it was acceptable. Yesterday was the first time I post a pics of of myself and the wife where we pulled off the highway and were shooting the .458 we decided not to sell.
For some reason they were disapproved of and condescending remarks were made. And from all places TX! (I find the Texans to be the most polite,FRIENDLY! well mannered folks on the planet. Let me just say this I love TX.) So I pulled them.
I also been accused of being thin skinned and sensitive but some of the comments would never be said to me face to face especially considering my stature.
On a good note I find a majority of the text here quite edifying and with actual real time pics of Safari's. Much better than any book one could find.
As far as the Alpha male thing goes I own or have owned up to 14 different tactical weapons forums on the net so I guess that would probably have placed me in in the "Alpha Male" category, but I still comport myself in a civil manner here on AR.

The thing that I really find disturbing is the lack of female participation....
I posted this on another forum the other day.
"If we only had the females on our side also, we would be a voting force to be reckoned with. But like this and other forums they get rudely ran off and pretty much told. "LOL Run along honey and go bake some muffins". Girls don't belong here!" (Google it as they say and you'll find much more. )

What's with this? I am not involved in most anything that doesn't have ones of the female gender involved.
OK, I have to edit this again. Wifey and her two GF's just said that "most men hate women". They were serious. They said "women keep them from doing them things they want to do". They said, "They see us as a road block"
Huh! I have never experienced this.

On a side note my wife asked me the other day who Saeed was here on the forum. I told her from what some others have mention he is a prince in Dubai. I think. Also the owner of the Accurate Reloading Forum. She said we met a prince from Dubai at some opulent venue my wife was invite to here in Vegas. (I'm just the driver.) The fella had three body guards in tow. She said he was really nice and the body guards were very pleasant. While we were sitting in front of the TV she did an Internet search and found a prince that was a minister of air defense? Or something like that. She said he looked familiar.


As far as people loosing their posts on Proboards that's not correct. My tech guy still has two of my forums we started and backed up on both PHP and V Bulletin. The reason I have script stored on Proboards is several forums over the years that I have seen have been hacked and cleaned out or almost cleaned out. 8 years ago M-14 Forum was continually being hacked. I called my tech guy and asked if he could help out and why the forum was being hacked. He told me there were several gates or windows any 13 year old hacker could get into. I asked him how long might it take you to get into that forum. He said IF I was a hacker an hour.......
So Proboards it was. I have never lost a post to this day.

I will have to agree with the other 18 or so fellas that prompted me to set this up. If fellow hunters do not post pics or don't tell about Safari's in fear of being insulted then part of history will be lost. We are all pretty long in the tooth so all will just die with them. One fella stated that one day there will no longer be any hunting in Africa.
I would like to see this info stored for future generations to see.
For the record I would like to state that I'm not trying to change existing policy here.

Any advertising revenue would barely pay for a a decent deer rifle and a decent scope.

The wife and I will be at SCI this years with her GF's in tow. Say hi if we cross paths.

Duke,

Good luck on your 15th website.

I just wanted to make something clear, as we seem to have a lot of misconceptions about myself and Dubai.

We do not have any "prince" in Dubai.
Princes are found in kingdoms, like Saudi Arabia.

We do not have body guards. Never had them, and never will.

Many members of AR have been to Dubai, and I am sure they will attest to that.

Our Ruler drives his own car, without any escort.

The only time he does have an escort is when we have a visiting head of state.

AR is the only website I have ever started.

Anyway, just wanted to set the record straight.

Again, good luck on your new website, I mean that.

I agree with both of those statements.

Cricket to me is about as exciting as watching paint dry and rugby would be a FAR better game if they stuck to the rules........ and possibly wound the rules back by about 20 years.

Good Hunting,
