Things change so fast

Life is too short to bear grudges so let's keep the forum alive and going to the the benefit of all its members.

I am sure that KevG only answers questions on Facebook because he likes to help people out when and wherever he can.

I for one appreciate the hard work that you and Lurk have put into this forum and long may it continue.

Couldnt have been better said!
Lets not go the same fate as the old forum.

You have to bear in mind, some Rapid owners have children, therfore, they set their Internet connection to safe mode. This automatically blocks forums and sites that mention shooting or airguns. I've had this when I've been away in our motorhome on camp sites. Facebook will allow access to other account holders, so that's how they communicate.
When we had Sky Fibre Broadband installed, I couldn't access this forum, or the AGF as the default setting was Safe Mode. I had to go into the menu and try to remember the password before I could alter it to my needs.

Personally, Brooksy,

I think you're totally missing the point here. This site was made for KevG, and I'll always stand by that. Whether he comes on the site or not, it's still KevG's site.

What concerns me is that it's been nearly two months since KevG has even logged into his own site. That makes me wonder if he's unwell, or if he's simply decided to step away from the site altogether.

I've tried really hard to make things work on this site, Brooksy. In the post I decided to delete, you said that all the effort I put into coding was a waste of time because nobody noticed it or understood it.

But from my point of view, I was trying to create something special for KevG because I genuinely think a lot of him. Believe it or not, KevG and I are actually very close friends — or at least I'd like to think we are.

I know KevG posted that I'd "seen my arse" over him posting on Facebook instead of on here, and if I'm being honest, yes, I probably did. The reason is simple: seeing him active on Facebook while not being here helping members on his own site did bother me.

But here's the difference — I'm still here, still trying, still putting effort into keeping things going. Meanwhile, KevG hasn't logged into the site for nearly two months now. That's what's frustrating me more than anything.

You know what though, whatever. I'm just getting worn out with all the debate and back and forth now. I really am.

I think after this I'm going to just take a step back!

As you can all see, KevG and KCE have both been made Admins again. I let my emotions get the better of me and acted out of frustration, but I've now put things right and restored them both to where they belong. I won't be removing them from that position again.

I want to apologise to both KevG and KCE for doing that in the first place. It was done in the heat of the moment, and after thinking things through properly, I know it wasn't the right thing to do.

What I don't understand is why things have ended up like this between everyone, because it was never like this back in the day. This place used to feel different — everyone got on, helped each other out, and the forum felt like a proper community. That's honestly all I've ever wanted to keep going.

In the post I decided to delete,

Why was it deleted?  A couple of us had responded to it.

Gents I'm so glad we're all singing from the same him sheet again.🙏👍👌😀

Post this out to KevG,

I can't remember your phone number, Kev... just call me from a different phone so I know you're still interested, mate — chuff chuff!

I'll answer unknown calls in this case, even though I normally don't. I just want to know you're still here with the site and the members who follow and support you.

Don't turn your back on your responsibilities, Kev. You asked me to help start this site, and now I'm asking you to help finish what we all started. Keep in touch with your members.

As for me, I'm going to step back a little and carry on coding quietly in the background. Most of you probably won't even know I'm around, but I'll still be there behind the scenes keeping things running smoothly with my good friend Lurk.

[Brooksy]

@Kernal. I didn't mean to upset you and I'm sorry if I did.
The site looks great, you don't need to make alterations and spend too much time doing so, surely.
I've spoken to Kev quite recently and he's trying to reduce his workload, so maybe that's one reason he has for not logging on, he'll spot a request for work and knowing him, he'll take it on and not take any time off. When I spoke to him, he didn't sound well at all, he definitely needed a rest.

he's going to reduce his workload and not take so much on. 

have rest kev and come back whe your ready mate
