Bullzeye Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I was a big fan of the old site. Lots of great information. The new site is an abomination. Members are trying to use it but are frustrated. I wish that simple things were put into place BEFORE the transition to Scout. Real basic things like a Search function and a way to Follow topics. I really dont know how you can have any type of internet forum w/o these two basic features. Its been about a month since Scout Hide is up and running and no real improvements have been impemented. Can it really be that difficult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billm67 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I was a member over at the hide for many years. Just all the discussion of paying for premium content turns me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Paying for premium content was the same as the old Hide as it's for the Online Training section. It's a premium service that takes time and money to put together. If you figure the cost of all the training videos you get for the price it's a great value. That said you don;t have to pay for it if you don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevadazielmeister Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I here all of the complaints and rest assured, Frank will fix everything. He is a man of his word. When he says he will do something, he will. So stop complaining and just be patient. It will all get worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastarget Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I still use it, learning to like it, lots of info on that site. Frank is one of the good guys. Everything evolves, relearn it and enjoy it's content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FowlShot Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I don't mind it but it was definitely different and it seems to have a lot of ppl stirring about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsDriver Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I used to get on the Hide regularly but with the change hardly at all. I was one of the lucky ones that was able to keep the same handle. It kinda sucks to know some of the regular posters had to change theirs. I guess it was the luck of the draw...or as the explanation goes, others that were already on Scout had the handles and the new guys had to change. It should be interesting to see what the site looks like in about six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 My biggest issue has been with the search. Looking forward to the fix. I do wish there was an easy way to look at your own posts and also a subscription feature for following threads. If it's there, I can't find it.

FowlShot Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 That blows... My handle didn't change either. I didn't hear about the vets having to redo theirs. That seems like the new guy is trying to make it apparent that his guys over on SCOUT were more important. Bunch of BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsDriver Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Seems someone already had the Lowlight handle on Scout. Now Frank goes by SHLowlight. Even the creator of the Hide wasn't immune to the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FowlShot Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Guess we will never really know what happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Guess we will never really know what happened SH joined Scout Media. That's it. No deep dark secrets. The new site is getting updates and will get better but don't try and make it sound like some conspiracy theory. Some people, including Frank, had to change their names as SH joined a group that has many million members so of course there is going to be some overlap. I was lucky in that there were no Rob01s there but if there was i would have just been SHRob01 to show i came from the old site. Nothing earth shaking.

FowlShot Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Rob... Wasn't meaning to sound like I believed there was a conspiracy theory. Just was seeing all the comments flying around and no one seems to know what happened. But it seems very unusual how things happened. Sorry you were rubbed the wrong way.

PittsDriver Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Hopefully the change has purged some of the trolls on the Hide and it ends up a better forum. One thing I really appreciate on this site is the abundance of information without the negative attitudes.

FowlShot Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I love that aspect about the shooting community in general. It's always nice to be welcomed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunsen27 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 For those missing all the info on the old Hide it is still accesible via: http://forum.snipershide.info/ and a new specific Google search has been created by a member: https://www.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=005932026040690906626:g1onr6denui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grouse Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The new site is so clunky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlehendrick Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I was a lurker for many years on the Hide, and it gave me a lot of info. For that, I am trying to stick out through the change, and see if it gets better. I hope they iron out some kinks, but only time will tell. I miss the old "subscribe" buttons, and the ease of posting pictures.I wonder if the change to a "Scout" site now protects Frank a bit more in terms of the current pending lawsuit.

BOOM Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 The only conspiracy is that Frank gets to tell you how great this new gun, scope, bipod is so much better than yours, and out pops your wallet then the next new gizmo. If you doubt me look in your gun safe COOL-AID anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10ring Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I agree with the cool-aid analogy. There sure seemed to be a lot of that going around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
