Lex,
You definitely need to include a Gun Porn section. One of the hardest things to find about the XCR is pictures.
Please post here comments and suggestions on the organization of the forum. I'm always open to improvement. If you want a new category added or think an existing category is redundant let me know and we'll see what I can do.
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave." -- John Calvin Coolidge

Thought about dropping Robarms a line about this forum, Maybe they'll link it to their site?
They ignored my email, I sent it a few days ago. Actually they did visit the forum (logs show the only visitors on the day i sent the email were from Utah) but I guess decided it was too empty or they just didn't want to deal with it at the moment? I don't really know.
I'll try again when we have a couple hundred members.

Maybe sections for items for sale, for trade, or want to buy. Just a thought.
What can one man do? You never know until you try.

I will call Ty and let him know about the Forum..
He's a busy as a one legged man in an ass kickin contest but I will make sure he checks it out and if
possible get him to join and post.
Who knows maybe get Alex to post updates...
Hell you may want a section called Techincal updates and Manufacturer notices and let Robinson post them here.
I will mention that when I call them.

I've been thinking about the forum organization when/if the XCR Medium arrives. Depending on how incompatible the Light and Medium will be it may make sense to split off the "Owners Lounge" section for each variant as certain things may work on the Medium and not the Light and vice versa. Ammo, field experience, accessories, etc will all be very different (or maybe exactly the same?) between the Light and Medium. Here is one idea i had, let me know what you guys think:
General
- General Discussion

Trading Post
- Buying An XCR

XCR Light
- XCR Light 5.56×45mm NATO (.223 Remington)
- XCR Light 6.8mm Remington SPC
- XCR Light 7.62x39mm
- In The Field

XCR Medium
- XCR Medium 7.62×51mm NATO (.308 Winchester)

- Lights
- Sights
- Stock
- Swivels & Slings
- Other Accessories
I will remove the Ammunition subsection since that is caliber specific and move the existing posts into the "XCR Light 5.56×45mm" subsection (since that's the only ammo we've been talking about).
My only reservation about the above layout is that there will be a lot of overlap between the rifles especially stuff like accessories. The same sling will probably work for both a Light and a Medium XCR. This is where I need help from you guys. Which sections do you think should be consolidated and moved into a General XCR section. Or do you think it's fine to have a separate Lights, Sights, Swivels & Slings and Other Accessories sections?
Anyways, just thinking ahead here in case the XCR-M does come out early in 2008 per the Robinson Armament FAQ.

Perhaps something like this would work.
