I only participate in 5 forums, but artful bullet got taken down by an attack for a few days ( details of the attack haven't been provided yet).
Yeah, they have a volunteer professional it guy there and I don't know if we have such expertise on board here. Myself, I can barely operate a browser. Anyway, while rocketfoot, olfart, and myself keep the spammers at bay, I'd sure like to see another one of you volunteer as a moderator, just in case. Just knocking the spammers down doesn't require any special knowledge (Terry are you listening?).
I don't know what it skills rocketfoot has, but an it guy would be nice to have onboard as well.

[GOA News] Election Day was a Huge 2A Victory, but What Comes Next?

On Tuesday, November 5, America saved the Second Amendment from a doomsday scenario.
