Welcome to US Gun Owners!

[TGO David]

I know the guy who runs that site.

Honestly if it doesn't start seeing more traffic, I'm probably going to kill it. I'm really having to thin down on the number of projects that I have going just for the simple logistics of it.

[USMCJG]

I was unaware that the site even existed until I read this thread. I went over and signed up and it did seem pretty dead. How long has that site been up?

[TGO David]

A while. I honestly don't remember how long. TGO consumes every bit of my time now, especially since we're doing the Expo events.

[nightrunner]

Been up awhile now, but I just never go over there. no reaosn to with TGO as active as it is.

I did try to go over there a couple weeks ago when TGO was down but so was USGO, guess its on the same server or whatnot.

[Guest H0TSH0T]

I went and looked, but its empty, a cyber ghost town.

just my opinion, TGO has a lot of traffic due to the people and a lot of local interest, on just about every subject out there, i am sure some other people in other states have a favorite site/gun blog, but on a national level your looking at a broad scope witch loses people, also as a community your more likely to meet and have better opportunity to shop, get more relevant info like hunting tips ,local events/meetings and issues, ranges, and go to activities than on a national level, to me its kinda like the local news vs the national news, my local news covers more that effects me, and still will hit some of the major points on important world topics. not that it is a bad thing just think the format is set up as a local, not national......

National websites do work. I am into offraoding and there is a Tennessee website that is very active with over 10,000 users, but you have to register to view anything on that forum. And then there is a national website, not run by the same people, that has over 140,000 users with almost 9million posts

[nightrunner]

look at AR-15.com, thats a very busy national site

[pitt2magic]

I didnt know it was there, gave it a look. Its pretty dead. I love TGO.

[TGO David]

Never knew it existed, sure is dead there!

New screen name huh?

[xd shooter]

Good job JeffsSig. You brought life back to it.

That's all it needs is a little traffic & a little posting so it will some up on the serch engines.

[ShaunM]

Thing is TGO just takes up to much of my time.

[Guest tnmale46]

+1

Although having a national site is a good idea, TGO is all I need as far as a non-brand specific forum goes.

look at AR-15.com, thats a very busy national site

And Handgunforum.net.

One thing I noticed, when I googled US Gun Owners this came up...

I actually thought I was looking at the wrong site the first time I searched for it. Maybe having a little intro like TGO has would help.

Thought about USGO when I saw this thread. Went and looked, and yep not much traffic. I am a member here ...duh...., a local off road group, a world wide Jeep JK group and I have a few others I hit from time to time. But TGO is a majority of my online forum time.

Dave, I don't know what to say. I think if this site wasn't as successful as it is, then USGO would have a better chance. It would seem a lot of time and effort would be needed to cultivate that site into a player. Looking at posts over there, it seems they picked up for a little while, but only by a few.

[Guest canynracer]

it just needs some love...I will admit, I havent been doing much over there I will remedy that...at least until David makes his decision...

its a good site, we need to go to the other big names in other states and try to get them cross posting...

maybe the national news links from all of them can redirect or something...

but a national site DEFINATLEY has value...especially for those that travel

[TGO David]

Perhaps what we need is someone to co-admin the USGO site; someone who has the free time to try and grow it into something active.

[Guest canynracer]

Whatever you need boss, id be happy to help.

[TGO David]

I could do it, maybe!

Under which of the dozen or so user names that you signed up with here?

I think KAISER was my favorite, it would be a name befitting an administrator.

[xd shooter]

I'd be happy to help if I can.

[JeffsSig]

Ok time for a Bump.

Pass the site on to others.

Welcome to US Gun Owners!

We did have a few more join and start to use the site but it needs some more input

If you can email the link or post anyplace you can on the net.

We all have others who live outside TN I am sure.
