Title: How did you find the TMA forum?
Post by: hawkeye on May 11, 2007, 10:46:46 AM: This is a poll to see how most of you found your way to the TMA forum. This will help the Board of Directors know where to focus our efforts in obtaining more members.

Post by: paco97 on May 11, 2007, 06:14:17 PM: I selected another forum. I saw a person profile on another forum and he wrote somthing about the TMA, so then I googled it.

Post by: Indiana on May 11, 2007, 09:30:03 PM: I believe I came across the TMA through a link posted on the Campfire Forums.

Post by: Bigsmoke on May 11, 2007, 09:52:07 PM: I am thinking that I found it through a search looking for Ol' Stumblin' Buffler. It was an exercise in frustration getting onto the board, as between my ineptness with this spawn of the devil and whatever hoops I had to jump through, it took forever to get signed on. In retrospect, it was well worth the trouble.

Post by: halfdan on May 12, 2007, 03:21:11 AM: I found the TMA while doing research to re-start my period clothing business. I was surfing a lot of sites, glancing through them, really. Then I hit the TMA board and all of a sudden two hours had gone by and I was still reading. Joined that day and have never had one minute's regret. Best forum and best people on the net.
Title: HISTORY
Post by: snake eyes on May 12, 2007, 07:17:38 AM: halfdan,
I wish everyone saw us as that easy to understand. It's about the
past. Although I live in the present, there is not a day goes by I don't think about past parts of history.

I found the Forum because I was the one that created the first one that locked out good ole uncle Russ. Never let a security guy provide a service and expect usability! Well the rest is history. Good poll though, hopefully provides some useful insights.

Post by: melsdad on February 29, 2008, 11:46:38 PM: I was guided here in a round about way from another forum I belong to. I was looking for a website where I could find more information on flintlock rifles, and the things involved with blackpowder shooting.

I definately found what I was looking for, great information, and a great bunch of people willing to give answers to questions from a new person to the sport.

Post by: Mule Brain on March 06, 2008, 11:05:29 PM: Was on here right after the storm, and couldn't wait to get here. I still post much on that other forum, but I am trying to tangle with this one more and more!

I think I will be cutting a check for membership very soon

Post by: flyfisher76544 on May 21, 2008, 05:04:50 PM: One of the guys told me about starting this one up back in 05 along with a magazine they were starting as well. Well, got off track for a while coming back stateside and then turning around and heading over to Korea for a year and all. Even sent me the first idea for the symbol and all as well.

Post by: Captchee on May 21, 2008, 06:10:07 PM: we have never had a magazine flyfisher .
we did try and suport one one time but that didnt work out for anyone .
we do have the TMA journal which gets better with each issue .
however its avalable only on the internet for members

Post by: flyfisher76544 on May 22, 2008, 03:48:28 AM: Maybe the guy was starting the mag on his own, i dont know capt. But lets see if I can get this logo to show up.

GREAT!:shake
A very hardy welcome from a fellow Washingtonian.

If I'm not mistaken, the credit for that link should go to our good friends Puffer and Beaverman.

Thanks RussB, Ohio Joe, Captchee, and SSE,... for returning my emails.

Post by: Bison Horn on November 11, 2009, 01:25:14 PM: I had kind of lost interest in muzzleloading for a few years and now I'm retired and want to travel some and start shooting BP again so I Googled muzzleloading clubs and ran across TMA, liked what I saw and joined up right away. :)
Title:
Post by: vthompson on December 13, 2009, 12:54:48 AM: I found the TMA through BEAVERMAN'S signature on the HORNERS BENCH. I came to the website and liked what I saw and decided to join right up.

Post by: bluelake on December 13, 2009, 02:05:56 AM: I found it through search engine searches while looking for muzzleloading sites for my research. I didn't delay in joining, as I knew I found the place.

Post by: Martin_G on October 22, 2010, 12:12:49 AM: I was lookin' online for a place to learn about muzzleloaders since I now have an interest in them.

So......someone left the door open and I stumbled right in an sat down!
Title: Re: How did you find the TMA forum?
Post by: Detached on July 17, 2014, 07:37:00 AM: With some difficulty.

I did a search for traditional muzzleloading and your site came up.

FWIW, this:

"TMA Forum

Proceed to the TMA Forum"

Doesn't look like a way in. The link "Proceed to the TMA Forum" needs to be more prominent. Make it into a button, or change the color, or all caps, or something. It really isn't all that obvious. For the most part it looks like a page title, and it wasn't until I moused over it that it became apparent that it's a link.
Title: Re: How did you find the TMA forum?
Post by: rollingb on July 17, 2014, 07:54:06 AM: Thanks for your input,... definitely something to consider.

appreciated the input on so many good topics. This forum has always been open to good and relevant topics,
and the moderators and BOD have improved the format also. Keep up the good work - I am quite busy nowdays
but drop in as often as possible - don't yak as much as I used to

The stuff in that "Mason Jar" was a special batch of con-vincer, that had been properly made, stilled and aged.... it convinced you right on the spot that you were doing the right thing by joining-up, and you did, and they danced and danced, and everybody lived happy thereafter....gotta love those Mason Jars :rotf

I remember those times, good times indeed!

here I am..... kinda like that

Post by: Digital_photog on November 20, 2015, 06:24:00 AM: I picked recommended in person but that was the second introduction to the site. I found it first on google while searching for information on period correct flintlocks for 1790 -1810. Looked at it but didn't join then.
Joined after VEDearduff talked me into it. Been making and shooting caplocks since the early 1970's. Just got into flintlock. I did buy a paid membership yesterday. Looks like the site doesn't automatically update that. I will have to wait for that to show up.
