Poll: Expand to other states?

[RandallC]

Hey Guys,

Need your opinion.

Should I start to expand to other states like Flordia, Georgia, Tenn and Miss? I would change the name of the forum to include the area but just thinking about it.

I understand I can use a FFL for state to state transfer and I am willing to drive a good distance in state for a firearm that is hard to find, not made or I really want. I do believe it will be more of a headache when looking for stuff( oh look a Glock 19 for$400, ahh never mind it’s in Macon Georgia).

That’s what I want to hear I just want to grow and I’m unsure on how to appeal to more people.

MS and TN would be fine, but if you include those other 2 states, the members from there will think they own the site within 2 weeks.

 

[Tumbleweed]

Georgia already has (theoutdoorstrader) and they are some ass holes on there. Very big number of members and ads.

 

[RandallC]

Ya I’m not interested in turning into that forum.

 

[Dfalt]

Georgia and Florida already have their own similar state forums, not sure about Mississippi or Tennessee. To echo @Joel6180 's concern I also think Alabama-centric discussion would get drowned out quickly if we include other states. I do like the idea of maybe reaching out to some of the other state forums and setting up some kind of regional network though.

Most states already have one that takes care of instate transfers. If you expand you’ll be competing with the likes of ar15 forum and snipers hide that already have large established memberships.

 

[RandallC]

Ya the problem with most of these gun forum are they are owned by vertical scope which is a media company that buys up forums and make them an advertisement platform.

It was an idea I was toying with the get more people involved with the community. But I’m not sold on it either.

I second DB35114 I to am willing to travel in the great state of Alabama to make a transaction. I also agree with Joel6180 about how it would affect this forum. So my vote is no. On a side note someone from Florida can make a long gun purchase in Alabama but An Alabama resident can’t legally make a purchase in Florida. I live close to Florida so when I buy a long gun in Florida I have to wait 3 business days before I can get it.

No other states have their own so why should we not???

 

[Antaylor]

Good idea but sounds like alot

 

[RandallC]

the states do have gun forums like this one.

Msgo.com
Tenngunowners.com
Florida and Georgia has a few different forum related to guns, buying and selling.

 

[Dan the Man]

I say stay focused on Alabama.


But the idea of a Former CSA / Southern states gun forum is very interesting idea. Maybe keep Algunforum and make another?

 

[RandallC]

idk I think I may just partner with another buddy on his forum if he wants the help. He covers the SouthEast already.

I think Dan the Man has a good idea, I'll be honest I don't have any good advice. I think it would be very hard to regulate a forum across multiple states so I'm kinda on the fence because I would like more good people here as well.

I say expand, and the reason I say this is because this forum is dead compared to another one I stay on and participate in , need to cross boundaries if you want to see better conversations, gun sales and trading and ammo deals. I’ll catch some flack here by saying all this but it’s the truth. I rarely even bother to check in here after joining another forum I found that’s busy busy busy with deals to be had. My inventory has gotten so full I’m going to need to build on to my house, no joke !

I think if the ones that post would be more realistic about pricing their items more things would sell.

The Alabama Gun Form is for folks to share discuss and trade In Alabama. Not sure what it would turn into if other states get involved.

 

[RandallC]

I guess I’ll keep it Alabama since DixieReb out the thought into my head there are some other forums that cross state lines but for Alabama this is the only one.

Gulf coast does a good job on the pan handle, you have southeast on the other side that dougiemac owns and runs and I’m part of.

You have the crap whole of an owner that runs the outdoor and one of the Oklahoma forums.

Then you have your general forums like the firing line and such you can also be apart of.
