Well ya’ll its been a good run! I hope we are all here 6 months from now.
In the Merger & Acquisitions I’ve been a part of, things change without much notice.
Looked up their ammo brands never heard of them till now.
Same here...

hope they fix the customer service side first, and forget that we exist and cost them money.😎
Agreed.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Gonna be some changes in store for the forum. I hope we still exist six months from now.
Just by chance if the forum goes away is their anywhere else ya'll hang out?
Ammo's only been in business 5 years, I doubt they'll be around another 5 years making deals purchasing a business with very limited tangible assets of this magnitude. The principle owners of GB should be high-fiving and slapping each others back, good for them.......correction, Great for them 😀

Well I guess all the mods & admins will be getting big raises now.
There is, but we can't tell you the name for fear of getting kicked off here!
That would be nice.
In all honestly, the forum has degenerated into a place for newbie auction site bidders and sellers gather in order to gripe and moan about auction issues and support problems. That's mostly what we get from new members: no contributions, just complaints.
If the new owners pulled the plug on the forums today, or reshuffled the forum staff, I'd be happy to move along. I can look them in the eye (or across a monitor) and honestly say that I did my best.
I sometimes go to 24hourcampfire.com
But that is one brutal web site. Not nearly as friendly as this one. A real shark tank.
I doubt if much will change other than the "ads". We don't get hit with ads as much as many places, I assume the Ammo inc. People will realize they have a captive audience here and cram some more ad's down our throat.
Sometimes Change is Good
Ammo’s stock ticker is POWW and its cheap stock. (Under $7 share).
A few months ago it was half that value.
Agreed.

As the talk was going around awhile back I bought in to some POWW stock. So far up $3.00 a share from when I bought in.
Bought Vista and Olin, 1st of last year Vista at $ !2,92 and now at 35.09, and Olin at $ 9.60 now at $ 46.82
Did not put a lot in of $$$. Firearms company are stiil showing strong on the market.
Right place to invest
There is a Facebook group I created called “gunbroker forums”. I created it ahead of the last big software change & it isn’t really active but is at least a place you will find some familiar names.
Do you think the new owners will give us back our green font if we buy some stock? 🙂
