Having spent time on a few discussion boards since 1996, I've come to realize that most of them had two things in common.....advertising fees and membership fees. I've always seen conflict when a board has "paid" advertisers catering to a "paid" membership. It's nearly impossible to take care of the interests of both parties because there is an inherent conflict of interest. I became extremely frustrated with the whole process and wondered what it would take to have a place dedicated to the Kalashnikov, not the money. I figured the answer would be to start my own discussion board. I started thinking about the pros and cons, and the time required to develop and manage a board. After a good weekend of drinking good beer, I made a decision.

I decided to give it a go, and see if I could build a discussion board where the membership is "free" and the advertisers are nothing more than "guests" catering to a "free" membership. I looked at all the major boards to try and blend the best discussion areas into one forum. If you see something missing and believe it could add value to the board, make a suggestion in the "Forum Suggestion" area and I will do my best to make it happen.

I've tried to make the "Market Place" forum as simple as possible, with very few constraining rules. Follow the rules, obey the law, and help each other get the parts, weapons, etc. that they want to buy, trade, or sell.

The AK Forum Mission Statement:

"Provide a free discussion board where advertisers and members work together to promote the acquisition, assembly, and ownership of some of the finest Kalashnikov variants available on the market...where both parties understand it's about the Kalashnikov, not the money."

I have no idea whether The AK Forum will be successful or not. I do know I will provide the most I can to the membership at no cost whatsoever...forever. The day this board begins to cost me money, and it appears I would have to charge the membership to keep it running, then I'm done and I will sell it to the first person who wants it for $1.00

I will invite respectable vendors to advertise for free on The AK Forum, and they will do so as guests. If they begin to show questionable business practices and/or actions which are detrimental to the membership.....then they will be shown the door very quickly.


With the help of great friends and great moderators, we will make this a great board. Enjoy yourselves, frequent the forums, follow the rules, and have a great time.
