Can someone provide me with the process by which one requests to be come an Industry Partner? Who to contact, etc.? thanks..snakep
The I.P. stuff is normally handled once a year from what I have observed, bUT so.etimes DD214 does some neW I.P.s in between noral reneWal time.. DD214 is a very busy man, and he alone holds the keys to the I.P. status.
As others have said, send him a message and be patient. The time table is not personal, so remember that it may take a while.
Be patient and wait for them to ask for donations instead letting IPs actually pay for the board.
Huh?
They don't seem to want to take money from IPs but they sure will ask the users for donations to keep the board going. Maybe if they followed up and added more paying IPs they wouldn't need to ask for donations. But hey,that's silly talk.

OK,so whats your point? They asked for donations because they needed money. Gun dealers are/were trying to pay money. Don't tell me you're too busy to take a dealer who is offering money but in the next breath ask me to donate to upgrade the board. Living in Maryland shouldn't every attempt be made to promote gun shops in state?Excuse me but this site ran years without the owner asking for or accepting a nickel.
It's his decision if he wants to let anyone become anything on here and when.
You should be thankful if you live in Maryland that there is even a site like this because God only knows what liberal crap would have become law without it.

So you're saying every IP is a pleasure to deal with then? I've dealt with a bunch of the IPs and MOST are decent guys and no need to mention the bad ones because its not about them. I personally think as a Marland board and the seemingly unanimous hatred of Md. Gun laws that trying to get as many guns into legal owners hands would be the goal. Again this board is great overall but it seems they're chasing their tail and alot of the fanboys see it as normal with no reason to question it.Gee, maybe my point is it's a private enterprise the owner can do whatever he wants. yep,he sure can and he can pay for it himself then.
Need here being a relative thing. Your host here could have chosen a.) not to expand the capacity (which was why donations were requested in the first place) b.) gone to a subscription service c.) chucked it all because believe me it's an f'ing headache some times to run a site like this.OK,the relative term was " we need donations" . Is that clear enough or should he of asked for dinero?
Yeah some so much so they they file bogus law suits against the owner. agreed douche move
Feel free not to donate if you don't want to and just ignore all the appeals.
Feel free to promote whatever gunshops you wish as often as you want. I've never seen anyone's post deleted for promoting a gunshop, good or bad and yeah, their are some people, not necessarily gunshops but potential IP's who's money I wouldn't take.
Promoting for profit and allowing people to sell for profit though is a different animal.
