[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2926640, member: 8394"] Thinking back I found rfc December of 05 after getting layed up with a broken arm from being dumb and 19. Had a nice ranch to hunt and had shot all the dumb coyotes and needed to learn long range. Back then the site was much smaller and forums seemed to have longer form almost short blog like content. Look at a current Kirby Allen post, it's paragraphs of content and pictures. He was one of several people putting out high quality free info. Didn't join till 07, actually didn't really need to. Had easily a year or more of reading just leaning before first post. It was a good time, scopes were just starting to dial consistently. And the lazzeroni/rum raw fps method was being replaced by long high bc bullets with long barrels. Social media has changed, we've 140 character twiterized our brains. As such the info easily found just scrolling through old posts is lost in the fog of 100 short abstract posts. Some have good info, some have minimal or even none. Magnify it with 100 fold user increase and we have the dynamic at play we currently have. Maybe not better or worse just a different dynamic. Takes a different approach to communicating salient points. [/QUOTE]
