Has anyone ever been able to contact Rugerforum.NET?

[Tom K]

I joined rugerforum.com and rugerforum.net at about the same time. I have been trying to get in touch with someone in charge at rugerforum.net for several months now, without any response. I have tried their "Contact Us" page (https://www.rugerforum.net/help/contact/) several times, regular email several times ([email protected]), and via phone (248-663-4440). No response whatsoever. I haven't tried snail mail yet but I may resort to that.

Has anyone ever been able to contact Rugerforum.NET in the past 6 months or so?

*edit* Just to clarify, has anyone been able to contact the forum as a non-member using their "Contact Us" page, or email? I was banned from the site in January and have been trying to appeal my ban, with no response from them.

I just opened that site with no problem. That about 8:30 a.m. Thurdsay, July 28, 2022.

Yep, no problem here either.

I'm not talking about getting to the site itself. I'm talking about getting a response from the management.

Well, having nothing to say to them, I haven't tried that. Sorry I'm no help.

By chance have you tried getting ahold of a moderator at all? Or simply starting a thread like this one, only on their website?

I am trying to get in touch with the moderators/management of the website because I was banned in January, without reason as far as I can tell. The "Contact Us" page even has a dropdown for "Ban Appeal", which doesn't seem to do much good if they won't respond. I don't know if they just don't want to talk to me, or if they don't actually respond to anybody.

I had hoped that perhaps someone on this forum might have had experience with contacting the rugerforum.net site, without being logged in as a member.

If they don’t want you, why would you want to be there?

Banned for no reason? It’s their loss not yours.

 

[hittman]

I’d say the no answer to your Ban Appeal IS the answer.

 

[Fox Mike]

No problem logging on. Works fine for me.

 

[40nascar]

Don't worry, their a band of Dickheads. Their loss is yours and our gain. Shake the dust off your sandals and move on.

Well looks to me like you are screwed :)

 

[40nascar]

I had a disagreement with the retired gun smith on their forum and they
changed my password. That was some eight or ten years ago. Have not
tried to "re-establish" my userid since.

Oh well. ;)

I've heard the same thing from several others. Even if you politely have a different point of view than him ( Iowegion or similar) , you will get banned without a justification. Free expression of opinions is not tolerated by that tinpot Dictator.

 

[Johnnu2]

WHY EVEN BOTHER...(a rhetorical question of course)...?
IMHO, you can't get better than RIGHT HERE.... THIS is where the expertise, and courtesy is.....again, IMHO.

No problem logging in this AM, but I virtually never go there even to see what's new, because the activity level is so low as to be almost non-existant. That's the problem will so many forums on many subjects. I am very glad that this forum seems to be alive and well, and I check here daily if not more often. But the .net forum, not so much.

 

[woodsy]

Just so you all know, that forum was purchased a few years ago by a Canadian company which owns dozens of other forums (look it up). Since then they have become very user unfriendly. The Iowegan guy is not the culprit, rather the opposite.

 

[jbenedetto2]

Try clearing your cache on your computer. You may have old info there. I was just on that forum.

 

[woodsy]

Computer cache has nothing to do with it. Rather it is the attitudes of the admins. (of that forum).

 

[Tom K]

Well it appears that nobody who posted has attempted to contact rugerforum.net as a non-member. So I still don't know if the moderators there are unresponsive to everyone, or if it's just me.

yup, Had a disagreement with him years back and even after shoing proof rebutting his claim, he still held his word as gospel. Sadly, he's givven some bad advice there and enough memebers there follow him like lemmings. Not saying he's unknowldgebale but if you're wrong, admit it. MIGHT visit there nce a month. Otherwise...

I may still be a member I don’t know. When they first opened shop and you made 25 posts, you could get Iowegian’s book on GP-100’s by request. I did all that, and the author went on a rant that I wasn’t there to support the forum etc. never got the book, I haven’t been back!

 

[eveled]

I end up there once in a while from following google search results. I have noticed many well respected members here are banned there. That says a lot.
