Why all these clubs lately?

[10-Ring]

I've noticed all these new threads creating 'clubs' on the different boards. I just keep wondering...WHY? Is it a natural evolution of the forum? Is it something other forums are doing? Is it a good idea to have them here? Are they really needed? Are these clubs really necessary?
What is the reason behind having 'clubs' on THR? Am I missing something???

I wonder the same thing when there are so many other forums out there that are designed specifically for certain guns/manufacturers.

I've wondered the same thing. Here on THR, they are not an official part of the site, being a "member" doesn't mean much except that you (maybe) own that kind of gun, and they aren't going to grow into separate forums or anything like that.

No real point, but I figure it's just a nice way for folks to find common ground, and a good excuse to share pictures of favorite guns.

I've noticed all these new threads creating 'clubs' on the different boards. not so much clubs as threads I just keep wondering...WHY? No clue Is it a natural evolution of the forum? hope not Is it something other forums are doing? Yeah, other non manufacturer specific forums Is it a good idea to have them here? not unless i've missed something Are they really needed? Are these clubs really necessary? not as far as I can see.
What is the reason behind having 'clubs' on THR? it's a way for them to express their firearm of choice on a non firearm specific forum Am I missing something??? yeah. that they'll eventually realize multi level "club" discussions have no life on a single linear thread, and they'll die. but it might get worse before it gets better (copycat thread "clubs" lol

IMHO, some of it may be fostered by folks who'd like to see us grow further apart, rather than uniting as a more powerful single gun culture.

Lighten up.

Or you could start the griping club.

You could start the griping club.

Too late.

No real attempt to answer the OP's question since post #4. Snippy rudeness. Abrasive attempt at divisiveness -- oddly cloaked within a complaint that people getting together to compare guns were trying to divide us! Oh ye gods and little fishes...

Guess this one is done.
