Pretty easy to read this and understand it...

Agreed, and seems to keep in step with the DSC moto of ........ No info is better than bad press.

I would speculate that someone sent someone else a legal letter and rather than dump money into an attorney the cheaper option was to remove it.

This seems the most likely explanation to me, so I pick F as the most likely answer. If true, that just tells you what the new DSC leadership is like. For me personally, I have not missed a DSC convention for many years but next year I will not be going to Atlanta and will be going to Nashville!!

Well said sir!.....

Been a DSC life member for all of 3 years now, next year I'll be attending TTHA in Dallas and SCI in Nashville.

Zero concern about AH. As soon as that thread started I had to wonder what the reaction would be.

It was the first I have seen/heard on what is actually going on so I really appreciated it.

Wow, there seems to be a good bit of this going on lately… I posted a thread yesterday about wanting to make myself a gun sleeve and asking for opinions on what the members would consider appropriate for using in Africa



It was deleted because it was deemed commercial in nature. I guess making a product a sponsor might sell is now deemed commercial.

And I had had a thread on here for several years now where I had posted Safari gear that I had made for myself, and that thread was removed also… Yes, deemed to be commercial in nature

And another thread deleted where I was trying to give away a cartridge slide… Apparently in violation also… That one maybe I can get apparently I should’ve cleared giving something away with the moderators first did not realize giving something away was a problem.

For the record, I was not advertising nor selling anything

One thing we should all keep in mind is that the First Amendment (or the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms) applies only to governmental actions and not to private actions such the removal of a thread on a private forum.

I will say I did find the now deceased thread useful and it did encourage me as a DSC Life Member to read the bylaws. Living as I do in the DSC hinterlands - aka not Texas - the thread did provide some backstory (from at least one perspective) to comments I have read here and elsewhere.
