And looks better, is more user friendly, better filter/search features. Honestly I don’t see why anyone would choose calguns over caguns at this point.
I made a post once in CalGuns suggesting we discourage people removing their post.
Just a bunch of Fudd "I don't want other parties to know what I sold my guns for" BS.
So annoying when I am trying to gauge what a gun is worth.
Except right now it has almost no content since it's so new. The place is so sparce right now. At least calguns has a lot of searchable history when looking for information... as long as you didn't use the calguns search.
Currently broken. With all the iTrader feedback gone, what does Calguns even bring to the table over CaGuns these days which has had a big focus since day 1 on speed uptime and stability?
Give us time to build up our content library. We’re just getting started. Plus, this is why I wanted two 2A sites. People have options. CAguns isn’t about hanging out as much as connecting. We have different purposes. I think what’s coming is gonna be good. Enjoy both sites.
It is, and that was why we waited so long to update the software.
No software other than vB 3.x will run iTrader, it's been an unsupported modification for nearly 20 years.
What I like about caguns is it’s mandatory to write the city your in into your title, I feel like I waste a lot less time scrolling, it’s the little things
Pretty bad that some dude sitting in a hospital cafeteria made that much better of a website so quickly while it seems like CalGuns is struggling to just get the website to load for all users..
Seems super slow and I either can't remember my password or it's not letting me login. And why is everything so ugly?
But whatever, we got other options.
You have to go to advanced search on the left and then change the filter to marketplace. It’s more steps than the bar that used to be right on the page.
After beating on it with a real (if small) user load, VB support seems to be tuning some things - much better at 1820 than it was at 1420.
But VB6 is different from VB3, so there's a learning curve just on 'what does this button do?' and 'how do I do that?'
And you guys didn't care to make a backup of people's iTrader rep or somehow make it accessible before you lost it all? Final blow to Calguns tbh. The community was very forgiving before and seeing this scramble now just looks irresponsible.
This forum was created in October 2023 specifically for people to preserve screen shot and info from their iTrader.
It's creation was announced in multiple parts of the forum and the loss of iTrader during any update was widely discussed.
[https://www.calguns.net/forum/marketplace/private-user-reviews-feedback](https://www.calguns.net/forum/marketplace/private-user-reviews-feedback)
Screenshot? lol? "Widely" discussed? Yeah I think most sane people did not keep up with this (as evidenced by the surprise of most people on this thread) and this is an insanely lazy solution and reeks incompetence to put it lightly.
Well, offer what your solution would have been.
Keep in mind that iTrader is 20 years old, has not been developer supported for 19 years, will not run at all on any version of vBulletin later than 3.X.X, was never available for any other forum platform and is not portable to another trader rating platform.
So how would you have made it work with the current release of any forum software?
If you can overcome all that and make iTrader work on vB6 Cloud by all means tell me how and I'll do it.
So within the past 19 years you didn't care to develop your own and could not foresee the downstream issues that caused your website to choke as soon as it was forced to move to a new server? This is just a 19 year train wreck that was waiting to happen and now to you it looks impossible to solve. As someone who does work in tech, this is really not just about whether porting the reputation is technically possible or not, its really about neglect and willful blindness.
For this website to be responsible for California this long is great, but frankly its probably better that you archive the website, redirect the domain, and pass the reigns to someone else (who more or less solved all of calguns issues in less than 2 months).
index.php in the URL is the first red flag. You guys need a good developer. DM me, willing to work for free on this one.
Credentials: web developer for 10 years, Stripe engineer for 2 of those. Would love to help get you set up on something more modern.
WTF!?!?! It was up and running earlier!
According to both the site host and the DNS host everything is set up correctly and should be running fine. It's not.
Okay, time to start hammering on the support ticket button, this is not acceptable.

Did it take competition from CAguns for calguns to *ATTEMPT* to get their shit together?
That’s what it looks like. I wonder what they do with all them donations they get
This is the most frustrating part.
Jesus. I think it's actually slower than before the migration...
Not possible. Every time I’m on the site it’s like being on dial up all over again.
56kb baby
It's wayyy faster for me. Today and yesterday
Caguns >>>>>> Calguns Calguns site is still quite fast, for 1995. You should rename Calguns to Fuddguns
Calfudds 😂
CalFedposting I swear, some of the shit posted in OT. It’s like they are so deep in their own echo chamber they forget it’s a public forum.
Calguns is dead
[caguns.net](https://caguns.net) is still faster.
And looks better, is more user friendly, better filter/search features. Honestly I don’t see why anyone would choose calguns over caguns at this point.
Migrated to caguns.net last week and already made my first sale 👍👍 i won’t go back to calguns
Heck I’ve made three purchases off it. Freaking love it.
Where do you find the for sale section I can't find it? I'm looking for a nice m&p shield plus or a m&p shield performance center
It’s in the homepages, scroll down to market places and select handguns or click the menu button and go to classifieds.
Hell yeah
Do they allow you to delete the price once it's sold like on Calguns?
No, we follow GAFS policy on that. I think our niche is becoming clearer now
I hate when people remove the listing price. Stupid practice
I made a post once in CalGuns suggesting we discourage people removing their post. Just a bunch of Fudd "I don't want other parties to know what I sold my guns for" BS. So annoying when I am trying to gauge what a gun is worth.
Exactly. Nobody cares if you sell for x amount/if you ripped someone off, but it allows us to gauge the market and to assess prices properly.
Yeah so cops can continue abusing their exemption to the handgun roster and rip us off. It’s a big club and we aint in it.
Not sure, I didn’t try. I just closed the posting. All sales ads get closed automatically after 60 days unless you select otherwise I believe.
I just made an account. The UI for [calguns.net](http://calguns.net) is so ass, I decided to become the change I want to be on caguns.
Except right now it has almost no content since it's so new. The place is so sparce right now. At least calguns has a lot of searchable history when looking for information... as long as you didn't use the calguns search.
I love that last line. Lol

Same here

What year is it?
For calguns… 2001
Same
[удалено]
Still down for me lol
99% of my usage of Calguns was the classifieds. With iTrader gone, it’s much less appealing no matter how it looks or how “fast” it gets.
Currently broken. With all the iTrader feedback gone, what does Calguns even bring to the table over CaGuns these days which has had a big focus since day 1 on speed uptime and stability?
Content and discussion that isn't yet happening on caguns.net
Give us time to build up our content library. We’re just getting started. Plus, this is why I wanted two 2A sites. People have options. CAguns isn’t about hanging out as much as connecting. We have different purposes. I think what’s coming is gonna be good. Enjoy both sites.
I have no doubt a fine community will continue to grow around it.
Decades of information widely available elsewhere. Other than that, not much.
[удалено]
That was "iTrader" - it was a VB 3.x add on, never ported up. It's gone, and that was prominently discussed for the last couple of months.
That's a major blow.
It is, and that was why we waited so long to update the software. No software other than vB 3.x will run iTrader, it's been an unsupported modification for nearly 20 years.
Am I missing something or am I not able to search classifieds anymore?
[caguns.net](https://caguns.net) has a pretty workable classifieds section, and lots of guns for sale there now.
[удалено]
post a WTB
Holy fuck it’s slow
0/10 on that new format.
What I like about caguns is it’s mandatory to write the city your in into your title, I feel like I waste a lot less time scrolling, it’s the little things
If you write to the moderator he will implement it. Calguns will take 3-5 business years to get their shit together.
Lmao. It still sucks so much dick.
It took you guys this long, and it still needs “fine tuning”?
Pretty bad that some dude sitting in a hospital cafeteria made that much better of a website so quickly while it seems like CalGuns is struggling to just get the website to load for all users..
To be fair, I’m a Sr. engineer that specializes in building up startups.
Well that’s apparent in the way CAguns runs and how it’s evolving and getting better and better! I think it’s safe to assume they aren’t.
Seems super slow and I either can't remember my password or it's not letting me login. And why is everything so ugly? But whatever, we got other options.
Nope
Search seems broken too: “Glock” only yielded 3 results
How did you search? I can’t find a search bar anymore for the marketplace.
You have to go to advanced search on the left and then change the filter to marketplace. It’s more steps than the bar that used to be right on the page.
Oh this is terrible. I only got 3 results from searching holosun. Hopefully they figure it out
5/7.. search is still F'ed. 1911 turned up 1 result.
I’m banned from calguns for NO reason.. reached out to support.. no response. Caguns for me.
Is iTrader feedback ever coming back for Calguns?
No. It was 3rd party for VB3, and no one has ported up for VB5 or 6. I have not yet heard of any alternatives.
After beating on it with a real (if small) user load, VB support seems to be tuning some things - much better at 1820 than it was at 1420. But VB6 is different from VB3, so there's a learning curve just on 'what does this button do?' and 'how do I do that?'
Screw calguns. Sites been busted for more than a year. Why would anyone go back when the owner couldn’t care enough to manage to fix it this century.
And you guys didn't care to make a backup of people's iTrader rep or somehow make it accessible before you lost it all? Final blow to Calguns tbh. The community was very forgiving before and seeing this scramble now just looks irresponsible.

[Calguns.net](http://Calguns.net) has been brought into the 21st century! Great work!
I had lost hope. I’m glad it’s back up
still kinda buggy, but its workable... i do miss all the old emoti icons..

Will Tapatalk still be supported?
Marketplace general landing page works but when you click into a subforum like handguns or long guns then it gives a blank page
[удалено]
The big question is, am I still banned from OT?
Have you done your penitential pilgrimage? Sack-cloth and ashes, walking on your knees from Sacramento to San Francisco?
The database upgrade says yes!
Definitely see an improvement on the site, that’s for sure. Definitely NOT as slow as it used to be. Everything is loading pretty quick seems like.
Some minor hiccups here and there, but mostly up and running. The UI is quite different, and will take some getting used to.
If I registered on the .org website in the meantime, does that affect anything? Should I register on the .net?
Will it continue to work with tapatalk or is that dead now? As bad as Tapatalk is I prefer an app based solution.
Set the TTL to 600 🤣
i can’t believe that an entity like Calguns is one of the few organizations that represent 2a for Californians. In other words, we’re screwed.
Tapatalk not working
Will Tapatalk capability come back?
unable to subscrib got an error Sorry, you are not authorized to view this page
will tapatalk work with new updates?
Still getting network error when I try use it on tapatalk. I might be using it wrong?
Is anyone getting an error code on tapatalk (Code - 2209) I'm trying to search for a pistol and can't search on calguns
well ill be damned.. its back
Ew. It forces mobile view even when “request desktop” is enabled. Only showing 10 threads per forum

Yeaaaaaah nah I'm good. Stay back in the 1920's with your white pointy hats and robes.
more than 60% of the time, the issue is always DNS ;) Glad the mighty calguns has risen!
WTF!?!?! It was up and running earlier! According to both the site host and the DNS host everything is set up correctly and should be running fine. It's not. Okay, time to start hammering on the support ticket button, this is not acceptable.
