Anyone know what happened to the Michiana Gun Exchange facbook group?

[BlueCow]

It's gone, without a trace...like a fart in the wind.

Facebook + Gun = Gone.

Facebook is anti guns.

I know of a few Ohio groups that have gotten shut down as well from Facebook not agreeing with them.

I bailed on the Indiana-ish one I was on. Not sure if it was fart-in-the-winded or not. Too much stupid and too much concern for a Beach Grove Walmart incident if I bought one off of there...

Not completely anti-gun. Locally, both Midwest stores and Kodiak have fb pages and there is a huge number of gun related fb pages from all over the country. Facebook might not like gun sales or trades being made on their pages as that could lead to law suits from the gun grabbers.

I started one of the first facebook groups for central indiana and had well over 12000 members. It was also deleted without notice, and a generic email sent to me telling me it violated thier terms of service. It became a huge PITA once we got up to about 10000 people and I was pretty much over it anyway so I was only a little sad it was gone.

I noticed it disappeared from my feed as well. It sucks.

I'm a member of group Indiana guns $250 or less and I'm pretty surprised it hasn't been shut down yet. Very often there are posts along the lines of "need a gun tonight, caliber doesn't matter".

I did wonder a few times if handguns were being sold across state lines on the group.

You have INGO what do you need Facebook for? Besides all those gun groups are being pulled, even the secret ones.

The Michiana group was nice since it was just local stuff. You didn't have sort through all of the stuff down in Indy or in Evansville.

Michiana Gun Exchange didn't seem to require pictures for items listed for sale. I was a member for only about a week before they went dark so maybe I just hadn't found that requirement (if one existed). I have trouble posting pictures on forums so being able list items without pics would have been a plus for me.

I hear they were taken out by a cyber attack from LT6.......

Lemme get this straight, you can sign up for a forum, post 123 times, add an avatar, but can't figure out how to post a picture?

You've got it straight. I'm a retired carpenter and what little I know about computers I've taught myself. I haven't been able to get ImageShack or similar services to work reliably.

I agree with you 100%. I am a retired farmer. I don't have an in-house IT guy. I don't have grand kids, etc. to help. I have self taught what little I can accomplish on a computer. Every time I sort of figure something out, things are changed or my computer/software is out dated and needs replaced. What I have works for email, word processing, etc but can't handle RAM required for most other things today. Kind of resent needing to spend money every couple years to keep up. By the time I get the new stuff figured out it's outdated. I have other things I would rather spend my time & money on...like more guns, ammo, and shooting.
