I stop by PDO two or three times a day, but that's because of the volume of posts, not the quality of the content. There are a few diamonds in what is otherwise a big steaming pile of excrement. (I'm only talking about the "Gun Talk" section, not the reference side.)

With all the quality open-source forum software like phpBB, SMF, and others, I'm baffled by Mark Solomon's choice to develop something so kludgy in-house. That rating system is horrible, and just needs to be turned off.

There are some quality posters there, but they're in the minority. I've been online for over a decade now, and I've found that no matter what the topic is, birds of a feather do flock together. Forums with intelligent thoughtful well-spoken individuals attract others like themselves. At the same time, semi-literate buffoons and trolls seem to all hang out together, too.

I'm glad this forum is one of the good places.
