It All Started With Some Swearing…
One year ago, I got frustrated. I was annoyed that I was having a very hard time finding out the answer to a simple question. At this point, I can’t really remember what the question was. I do, however, remember the feeling of trying to find that answer.
The blogs I had stumbled across seemed to be talking at a higher level than my question and, for the most part, seemed to be more concerned with politics and showing off how good they were at the range than anything else. The forums, with only a couple of exceptions, were filled with elitist fanboys who would rather flame you off the board than answer a simple question. I remember seeing a post on a rather prominent board where someone was asking if there was a significant advantage of .45 over .40. You would think the guy had pimp slapped the Pope. There were almost 3 pages of nothing but insults and not a single attempt to even answer the question in a polite manner.
I shouldn’t have been surprised. It is the internet, after all.
But just because that’s the way things are doesn’t mean I have to accept it. A short while later, I launched GunNoob.com. I had a rough idea of what I wanted to do with it and the site has evolved a bit since then.

Site News: Comments and Such
Two issues with the site’s comments have come to my attention this morning:
- There has been an influx of spam comments
- The notification system wasn’t working.
To address the first issue, I’ve removed all the spam messages and implemented a capcha system on the site. I hate capcha but I hate spam even more and I’m sure many out there feel the same way.
For the second issue, I’m working on it.
Meanwhile, if you’ve left a comment recently please check as I’ve replied to a couple this morning. Sorry about that.

A New Project Or A Noob’s Folly…
They say there’s a thin line between bravery and stupidity. If a guy jumps off a giant bridge with nothing but a rubber band tied to his ankle, some people would say he’s brave while others would call him a blithering idiot. I fear that, over the next few months, I will be trying to decide which term to apply to myself. Continue reading
