Where's BOSS?

What happened to the B.O.S.S. forum

[St. George]

As you can see - the 'BOSS Forum' has moved and has a new moderator.

It's been folded under the 'Historical Society Forum' and will most likely be re-named before too long - to better reflect more of those 'other' original revolvers of the Frontier West that didn't come from the Colt plant.

I debated wheter to leave it as a 'stand-alone' forum - but seeing the relatively small amount of traffic led me to put it here.

We'll still talk about Schofields and their reproductions, of course - but I'd like to see far more on the various manufacturers who'd suppied the American Cowboy with his sidearms during those long-past times.

A few things will be re-posted from my 'Notes' - just to start the ball rolling.

Any questions - send a PM or ask on the forum and I'll do my best to answer them.

Vaya,

Scouts Out!

Thanks for setting me straight...however with all due respect, I don't see how moving it within the Historical Society Forum will improve traffic.  I liked it where it was because I had just one area to go to in order to visit all my favorite gun forums, including SCORRS and STORM.  I also think Joss House was quite clear that the forum included discussions on all the break open type revolvers; not just S&W but others such as Webleys and Merwin Hulberts as well.  Anyway, good luck to you and my thanks to Joss House for his efforts while he was holding the reins

The original intent of the forum was primarily what it's title was - and then - later - someone wanted to know about the 'other' Top-Breaks.

During the period - there were many more revolvers designed, built and purchased - and they didn't all feature that system.

By re-naming and re-focusing - I think that there'll be more information shared.

A forum's only as good as its input - and this one's been fairly dormant.

I suppose you can only say so much about Italian S&W replicas and WWI-era Webleys before folks lose interest.

Maybe by reviewing and talking about a few more revolvers - the knowledge base will expand.

Joss did a good job and asked if I'd take it over - so I reviewed it and told the Marshal what I'd do - and now - here we are.

Since I think I can help it grow in its new 'home' - I said I would.

The various Forums are all on the same page - just look for this one in smaller type...

Vaya,

Scouts Out!
