It’s been two weeks, decided to see if Calguns is up and running…

It ain't dead yet, there's still some good banter over there, be grateful we have both. Hopefully someone revives it and we can enjoy both sites.

We’ve grown beyond it now. We’re pretty locked in with what we’re doing in the space so I hope they get it together but it’s getting bleak. https://calguns.org is pretty much DOA.

Well look at doing more things in the future. Our pace is starting to increase

I would very much like to be able to use VPN and this site when I am already logged in. I feel like that shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
 
Also just logged into Calguns. First time in a while.

I learned how to shoot from that site and then training.

Unfortunately, if you see the blocked message it means your network contains scammers who actively attacked the site. I won't open up international VPN's for a CA specific website. Users are already required to be logged in. This is why our scam rate is low.

The other option is to require a credit card payment prior to listing which we won't do because then you pay for the listing.

It is a bit of a burden, but we end up filtering a lot of scam listings and scammers in general.

We could be bigger but the headaches are a lot bigger too with numerous scammers who bombard the site with bad listings and contacting users. That ends up creating a lot more work and complaints and shifts the work onto the site vs. you turning off your vpn and putting the work on you.
 
I am able to get into it intermittently with no rhyme or reason… Finally got into the message center but then it froze again. Very frustrating…

That’s fair. It’s too bad; I have to use some wifi that is monitored and filtered at times, and would prefer vpn for privacy.
 
It’s a hit or miss for me. Sometimes loading of fast and quick while other times it’s a buffering problem and times out. Man….. sorry to see the way things went with Calguns. It because of that site that got me into shooting.
 
Still working...
 
I don't see many posts related to 2A these days. It looks more like daily gossip than a 2A site now. It's sad.
 
Most people my age don’t even know what Calguns is I feel like…
