<span style="font-weight: bold">The New Guys</span>
The Lurker - He's been looking for a while, but only recently joined. He is sure to note this in his first post in the hopes that it earns him so credibility. It doesn't.
The Voyeur - This schmuck needs a bib because of all of his "Drool" posts. He calls it "gun porn". Likes to comment on how much he'd like to buy a firearm if he could only afford it. At least he's good for a free bump on your sale post.
The Knowledge Seeker - "Teach me about ___X___ (sniper rifles, machine guns, silencers, etc.)" He wants you to teach him in 1 post everything about an entire discipline. Can easily recognized by his "search" deficiencies, improper terminology, and pretentiousness.
The Hobbyist - Has "Shooter", "Sniper", "Enemy at the Gates", and "Quigley Down Under" on Blue Ray. Not Mil, LE, or a hunter. He wants to know how to push his stock 700 to 1000+ yards. Some are able to be taught and put on the right track. Others are not so lucky.
The Extreme Hunter - Wants to know what to use to hunt deer at 2000 yards. "Anybody hunting coyotes with a M2 Browing?" He intends to either wing his prey or blow it up.
The Mall Assassin - Has a background in Airsoft and Suburban retail combat tactics. Wants to know if he needs Mil-dot reticle for his 10/22. He is an anti-9mm advocate due to the lack of stopping power. He can't understand why the local PD still uses "obsolete" DI AR15's.
The Zombie Slayer - This guy's got a plan. He stashes pistols in his Cheerios box and has a different "Bug out" setup depending on the scenario. Considers "Red Dawn" and "Dawn of the Dead" as survival documentaries.
The Kevin Bacon - Although he openly admits he is not Mil or LE, he always seems to be just a couple degrees of separation from a "credible source." "My brother's sister's cousin mows the lawn of a Navy SEAL and he says they are using Counter Sniper scopes. And my cousin's sister's brother peed next to one of the SEAL snipers that shot the pirates. He says they used H&R handy rifles with Baraska scopes with water bottle suppressors.
<span style="font-weight: bold">The Sellers and Buyers</span>
The Trader - "Hey, saw your post: WTS Mint condition Unertl 10X M40A1 scope. Do you accept trades? I have a broken Counter Sniper scope (missing objective lens), a dirty "Spiderman 2" t-shirt (XXXXXL), 2 chickens, and a kazoo. Let me know if you're interested."
The Speed Poster - This guy can't wait to get to 51 posts. He needs money NOW!!!! 50 "nice gun" posts and then comes the "WTS Bushmaster POS" post.
The Comparative Shopper - Considers "apples to oranges" an easy comparison. He likes pitting things against another. "S&B vs USO, Leupold vs Night Force, M14 vs FAL, FAL vs G3, G3 vs AR10, AR10 vs Hensoldt."
The Innovator - He's a tinkerer. He's got a good idea and some basic fabrication skills. He's got an idea for a mag adapter/rail adapter/bipod attachment. He's gauging interest and doing pre-orders. If you're lucky you'll get a refund after the project crashes and burns after the first or second prototype.
The Entrepreneur - He's a wheeler and dealer. He's always selling something. If the item in question is exactly to his specs, off to the boards it goes. He's also on a first-name basis with the BATFE guys.
The Blues Salesman - He needs help. He's getting divorced, buying a house, having a kid, repairing his car. This is all in the hopes you'll pay slightly more than what it's worth.
The Low-Baller - "A NIB AI AWSM 2.0 w/ S&B 5-25x56 P4F Mil/Mil and 1000 rounds of .338LM Lapua ammo? Will you take $900 for the package? Ok, how about $901.37?"
<span style="font-weight: bold">Trolls and the like</span>
The Troll - Need I say more?
The Troll Handler - A self-proclaimed Anti-Troll. Hates trolls. Loses control when he finds them. But little does he know that more often than not, his fury only makes things worse.
The Troll Slayer - This guy is not to be trifled with. He waits patiently and gathers more and more slack provided by a troll in order to hang the beast with his own words.
<span style="font-weight: bold">The Experts</span>
The Grand Master - Typically the originator of the forum. All-powerful, but typically lays low and stays busy updating his forum.
The Disciple - His title is typically a different color than yours cause he's active enough to be an Admin. Typically very helpful and typically works to ensure the integrity of the forum. Typically on a first name basis with the Grand Master.
The Grizzled Guru - He is an excellent source of info if you don't piss him off....which is darn near impossible. Typically isn't happy with "the direction the board is heading" and likes to talk about how the forum used to be.
The Angry Bastard - Considers The Grizzled Guru to be an optimist. "This board died a long time ago." While this guy has been there, done that, and gone back on vacation....twice; he has no time for your bullshit. Not only will he call you out, he will humiliate you, and prove that you are not worthy of life let alone his beloved departed forum.
<span style="font-weight: bold"> Special Ed </span>
The Spelling Bee - Despyte a era of modurn tecknology, this cat just can't grasp the concept of spell check. While a typo is more than common, this guy's posts look like a blind man was hitting the keyboard with a hammer.
The Bullhorn - THINKS THAT HE WILL BE TAKEN MORE SERIOUSLY IF HE USES ALL CAPS AND NO PUNCTUATION HE DOES NOT REALIZE THAT THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF CONDUCTING A REAL CONVERSATION IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER: http://www.reformedevangelist.com/images/bullhorn_girl.gif
The Emoticon - If a picture is worth 1000 words, how many words are represented by a smiley face dressed as a ninja, brandishing a chain saw, and wearing a cowboy hat? How does one figure out the code for this shit?
The Secret Squirrel - Shhh, you'll have to present your .mil email if you want more info on this guy. He knows a guy who can get Unobtanium barrels with Adamantium lining. And don't you dare ask what he has done. If you view his profile, his SEAL Team 8 3/4 and Omega Force buddies will burst through your door and
Note: While most inspiration is from Sniper's Hide. HKPro, 1911, AR15, and THR are in there too.
