The truth of the matter is that FB and twitter are the way of the future. It is just so simple for someone to post on there. What us Nation members must realise is that Weatherby is a multi million dollar company, and so must try and reach the greatest clientele base possible. And that unfortunately is Facebook. The Weatherby Inc FB page has some 228,378 people following it. Where as the Nation only has 91771 members. And to me it seems there is really only a handful of regular guys on here...I am not on Twitter so don't have their numbers. Plus there are several other spin off Weatherby FB profiles. So you can see why Weatherby must put more effort into a place that is going to reap the most rewards. Is it right? No I don't think so as the Nation was the 1st "Social Media" platform for Weatherby. But I can understand why they do what they do. And it does stink that the Nation gets hung out to dry and the last to know anything..
As I have said before, I much prefer this site than the 3 FB Weatherby sites I am on. I check in here almost every morning to see what people have been up to. I also post things on here that I would NEVER put on FB due to the fact that I don't trust that place nor the people on it. If I was only allowed one Weatherby site to be a member of, it would hands down be this one!
I think we all here just have to stay patient and realise we are not Weatherby's No1 site anymore. But Weatherby MUST NOT forget where their roots lay! This site was the first and should not be forgotten.
Another point, I really don't want to start a fight here, but calling Adam out at this point in time is not such a great idea. I mean the guy would be under such enormous pressure with the move and trying to keep his family business going.
We know Adam pops in here now and again, he has done so on one of my posts and apologised for a mix up in communication from their end, and I am sure once this move is complete he will again address the Nation. Hell if we are good little boys and girls maybe Weatherby will bring out a Limited Edition "Nation" rifle just for us.... Hint Hint Adam
