Ok, so the experiment with .win seems to be going ... I was going to say "well" but I don't know if that's exactly true. There's a few posts every day but nothing like it once was.
I don't see any other knockoffs that are gaining much traction. ruqqus has an equivalent but it's none of the OG WG mod team and there's not really much new content over there.
At one point, I saw a user suggest reposting the top content from old WG as a way to rekindle the spark that made bestgunnit what it was.
What other suggestions do you guys have?
For the foreseeable future, if you can find an old bestgunnit post and repost it here on .win then I'll sticky it for a day or two.
Or even better, more OC like we used to get a few years ago. The karma reaping won't be as satisfying just due to the fewer number of users here but just think about all the tendies you could buy with your GBP from being a fine upstanding autist of bestgunnit.
It’s a good point. We’ve always been a joke community and always aimed for satire of the mainline gun community. In a way, weekengunnit was co-dependent with /guns and /firearms ... when someone would show their power level in the comments of a serious gun post, someone would comment “keep it on weekendgunnit”. It was symbiotic because it gave all of us autists an outlet for our reeeee but when we wanted to share our encyclopedic knowledge on the fascinating history about the development of the recoil springs on a high point we could go to the srs bizns subs and geek out.
Now that we’ve left the abusive spouse of Reddit, it feels weird to be on our own. I don’t know if mixing retard fun with serious posts would work out ... I guess it works for /k
Maybe we have a serious questions sticky for the week. Where people hopefully dial back the rhetoric and actually be helpful
