Hello There

Hey folks! I just stumbled upon this forum. I used to be a member of the AR15Armory forum (username Blacktree). But I haven't been there in a long time. When I tried to visit, I noticed the website was gone. So down the google rabbit hole I went!

The crazy thing is, searching for AR15 Armory on google didn't turn up anything. No outdated links, no empty domain name, etc. It just turned up other forums. Then I checked the Wayback Machine, and saw the forum went away sometime in 2023. So I asked google "what happened to the AR15 Armory", and the Fakebook page turned up. Thankfully I have a Fakebook account. So I was able to drop in and see the new forum link.

Looks like the forum went through some hard times, then got dumped by the ISP. Or at least, that's what the google AI thingy said. Sorry to hear that.

Anyway, I see some familiar names here. That's pretty cool.

Welcome aboard!  We managed to create a little corner of the web for AR15 Armory "Survivors" but it is hard getting the word out to others!

Welcome! It's great to see you here. It is odd that the burial of the Armory was so quick and deep, we don't have as much firearms related content as the Armory did, mostly it's a bunch of us old farts talking about life in general, but I hope you'll find it a comfortable place.
Welcome home! Glad you found us!
@tommag - Yeah, when a forum goes defunct it usually leaves traces behind... broken links, parked domain names, etc. It's almost like the Armory was scrubbed from the internet. It took some effort to find this forum.

Anyway, here's a quick photo to brighten things up. That's the "Ghetto Blaster" 9mm PCC build. Have a great day!

Hey! Welcome. Way too few of us found this fall back location but it’s nice when someone does.
