Several months back I asked about my old sign on name (OLD 16 ) and my membership sign. I was asked on line years back to change my password. I tried to sign on after the change but it would not accept my new password or my old one. To get back on I had to.sign up as a guest as Hammer Bill. The moderate said he would get back with me but never did. Now the moderator has a lot on his plate but now I'm going to make this one of them. My membership was in June of 2006 and I have the shooting bag sill in use. Now I hope the moderator would contact me by pm so we can get on the same page. Thanks for your time. Hammer Bill ( OLD 16)

I have had this problem with the password change. It did not work for me either. Took a while to get back in but I made it. I'm not sure why there is only one guy doing all the work. If the guy is that busy that it takes weeks to get approved or request answered, he needs to get some help. I'm sure there are people that could fill the roll and get things done in a timely manner. Good luck

You all realize that this forum is on autopilot, except for the guy who is graciously trying to keep a dead horse walking.

If you do a "whois" domain name lookup, you can see that the name (16ga dot com) has been paid for until 2027-03-26 23:03:33 UTC, but that doesn't say who is hosting the website and for how long that is paid up to.

Nor does it say the name of the guy who is doing his best as a freebie.

That is why the forum is running on version 1.09 of phpbb and the current supported version is 3.3.11.

Eventually as the internet evolves, there is a very good chance that this site becomes obsolete and not functional,

so do whatever you need to do to enjoy it and understand that it is what it is

I guess that was aimed at me? The history doesn’t mean much if it all disappears. No reason not to expand and that way it’s here for many years to come.

I'm not a computer geek by a longshot. Don't understand all the phbb's or the 3.1.11 's. But to the people that like to show they do
Why not step up and help the guy. I would be glad to.but I don't own a computer. Just a phone.and my fingers hit to many keys at once.
