I'm fairly new here but hit this site daily and have "subscriptions" up the yingyang. I've managed to continue enjoying it by creating a fairly large "ignore" list and life is much more pleasant without so much rancor. I suspect the ammo shortage has kept a lot of folks from seeing how their guns shoot (good, bad & ugly) and therefore want to post for help, celebrate a success or announce a new idea. Once more lead gets sent down range activity will pick up. I've gone to those other sites (with the familiar names from here) and there still is no way near the volume of posts on the Mini-14 as here. I would predict the "old timers" will return. I agree, it is a damn shame there is so little moderation here. It wouldn't take anyone more than one hour a week to cull the bad fruit.
