BritinUSA Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Does anyone know what happened to the IPSC Global Village ? I haven’t visited the site for about a year and noticed that it’s no longer running, just curious if it moved or was shut down.. I did find this forum: https://ipsctalk.com but I think that’s run by someone else, looks like it started last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schutzenmeister Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Reminder ... The GV was effectively owned, financed, and operated by Vince. Post his falling totally out of favor within IROA and IPSC the GV went down hill, in part, I believe, due to the lack of any fiscal support from IPSC. My last personal conversation with Vince (over a year ago, by email) indicated that he was no longer willing to keep the GV going totally on his own and pulled the plug on it.

perttime Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 It was a good place to discuss IPSC rules - until you disagreed with somebody with 40 years of experience, and was deemed to be wrong because of the 40 years of eperience (instead of something written in the rules).
