I'm still here every day, but I never did have a lot to say.
Proudly causing more problems than I solve, since 1950.

Re: Where is everybody?
I told a friend about this site and told him to just Google OFCC. When I Googled that nothing pertaining to this site showed up. Duck Duck Go showed a hit several lines down, but it was not very specific. It could well be my Google skills. I have no idea how ranking works, or if Google is banning you. The easier it is to find the more people there would be.

We all need to get together and have a open carry event at the statehouse again. That was a fun day!
Carry everyday everywhere you legally can. I carry a Ruger LCP2 or a Glock 42. Find me on YouTube as FrugalPrepper

Re: Where is everybody?
I don't see much point in that, unless we were there to advocate for further expansion of gun rights. Like, legalizing carry in state, county, township, and city/village buildings .synack2 wrote:We all need to get together and have a open carry event at the statehouse again. That was a fun day!
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Re: Where is everybody?
Hmm. Pursuant to what I wrote there three days ago, yesterday found me in a northern Kentucky government building, armed. Specifically, a police station. With their full blessing. As their captain said "Isn't the first time, won't be the last. Not a big deal, since you're doing us a big favor."Brian D. wrote:I don't see much point in that, unless we were there to advocate for further expansion of gun rights.

Long story. Suffice to say I helped Karma bite a bad guy in the butt, all the way to the bone.

Re: Where is everybody?
Knowing Google's politics, their algorithms probably minimizing finding the site. Use duckduckgo.com. Much less "woke".....ashtabula wrote:I told a friend about this site and told him to just Google OFCC. When I Googled that nothing pertaining to this site showed up.

Re: Where is everybody?
Sadly that isn't that true anymore. They down rank many non-PC sites for one reason or another. Partly because they rely on other woke and manipulated search engines for results but also the CEO, Gabriel Weinberg has seemingly bought into the whole "disinformation" censorship bandwagon as the others.docachna wrote:Use duckduckgo.com.

There are a few sites I used to read regularly that no longer appear on the first page of searches. Wikipedia and several left leaning sites are on the first page saying how horrible the site is before you even find the actual site. It's getting more difficult to find alternative voices all the time...
Even searching for "Ohio Concealed Carry", you won't find https://ohioccwforums.org on the first page... Cleveland 19 and CNN have positions 1 and 2 on that search.

Re: Where is everybody?
Quite honestly, that's not because of search engine censorship or wokeism, that's because we spend zero dollars and zero effort on search engine optimization but those other sites spend millions of dollars and tons of effort to make sure their sites appear as high in the results as possible for any terms hat appear in their articles.Klingon00 wrote:Even searching for "Ohio Concealed Carry", you won't find https://ohioccwforums.org on the first page...

Re: Where is everybody?
That may be, but I remember the day when searches came back with useful results. It is how I originally found this site back in around 2008 when I was looking for information on how to get my license and I'm glad I did. I've learned far more about the law and pitfalls of a CHL here, than I ever did in the required classes, which used to be quite lengthy.JustaShooter wrote: Quite honestly, that's not because of search engine censorship or wokeism, that's because we spend zero dollars and zero effort on search engine optimization but those other sites spend millions of dollars and tons of effort to make sure their sites appear as high in the results as possible for any terms hat appear in their articles.

These days, people go looking for certain information and they have to wade past pages of people telling them they have wrong think before they find the first real information they're looking for.
Regardless of the reason, the outcome is the same and the results may be partially responsible for this topic.

Re: Where is everybody?
Just for comparison, I did some searches for "ohioANS concealed carry." This forum was #2 on DuckDuckGo and either #5 or #7 on MSN, Yahoo, Bing, and Dogpile.
And then there is Google. OFCC's main site was at top of page 3. The Facebook page was in middle of page 4. These forums was at top of page 5.

Re: Where is everybody?
I was just on Newsmax. It had a sponsored ad for Freespoke. It was a new to me search engine. I tried the same search there. These forums were #1. OFCC home page was #7. OFCC Facebook page was #8. I played with Firefox and now Freespoke is my default search engine.kcclark wrote:Just for comparison, I did some searches for "ohioANS concealed carry."
