Gene Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 For some strange reason, people can't seem to get it right with the Gear Discussion forum. I constantly see threads in there about things that in no way relate to Gear. So could a mod maybe put up a sticky in there saying "This is a discussion forum for gear, not for guns, or stuff that attaches to guns. It's for gear, things that you wear. Like BDU's, vest's, rigs, boots etc." Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tripod Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Equipment, such as tools or clothing, used for a particular activity: fishing gear. See Synonyms at equipment. www.dictionary.com Guns and things that attach to guns sorta qualify as gear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HaVoC Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 But not in this context... There's a whole forum for gun talk - gear itentds to be tac-nylon items. I don't have a problem with people saying "I want an MEU impression - what do I need in the way of gear, guns and accessories?" and putting it in the Gear forums, because the whole 'impression' falls under 'gear', but just saying "What guns do MEU use?" is not gwar discussion.

Gene Posted July 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Hav's right. For guns we have: General Discussion, Technical Discussion, Newbie Discussion. For Gear we have Gear discussion. These people have a 75% chanche of getting it right. They don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tripod Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Sorry guys, wasn't trying to say it was a bad idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doc_newstead Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 I went a bit ka-ka about this last night, but it seems the posts got moved in the end, so I suspect it was an accident or website error perhaps. I admit, I over-reacted (always am on Fridays), but still, if you can wear it, it goes in gear. If you can't, then it does not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tef Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 may be add to the description underneath and say (Tactical non-weapon related equipment) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jammy_Stuff Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Good idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 How about changing the name of the forum to "Gear Sluts Only Beyond This Point. Do not enter if: i) you don't know what WEESATCH is OR ii) you don't care." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sledge Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Geardos, man. They're a strange breed. Maybe the Gear forum should be password protected? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shao14 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I don't think I can change the title of the discussion forum, but I will put up a sticky on top of the gear section as Gene suggested. Hopefully people will read that. Thanks for the suggestions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
