Anyone know what happened to @Major Khan? He hasn’t been active here in awhile. I enjoyed his posts. He has definitely lived a very exciting/interesting life.

That is very sad indeed. I'm not sure how war stories from hunting adventures in days gone past would still necessitate persecution.The Major, Kawshik Rahman, and the other former Indian residents of Bangladesh, wrote stories about their time hunting in India. This infuriated many Indian anti hunters who would troll them on here. Allegedly the Indian government even tried to prosecute one of our friends, costing him a great deal of money in the courts to clear his name.
For that reason, they have stopped their participation on Africa Hunting.

As much as we hope, if it caused me a bunch of money and grief, not being compensated on top of that....no way I would expose myself again. It's just not in their or their families best interests. It's a screwed up world we live in.I had feared the worst about them after they disappeared. Now I'm just pissed at the stupidity that caused them to leave. I hope they're able to get into contact with us again and continue writing and sharing what they can.
That is just f*#king disgraceful! These men are all gentlemen and a huge credit to this forum, and I for one am honoured and proud to have been associated with them. I am sorry and bitterly disappointed that they had to experience attacks on their persons.The Major, Kawshik Rahman, and the other former Indian residents of Bangladesh, wrote stories about their time hunting in India.

There's certainly a way of doing it. I know other forums have similar sections requiring, as an example, that members be verified as military veterans. One had a rule that you couldn't post in the Sell/Buy section without having an account X months old and with Y number of posts. Your post history was visible to the mods/admins, so if you tried to pad it with troll stuff or whatever, they'd know.That is just f*#king disgraceful!

I echo the positive messages of support on this thread. I thoroughly enjoyed their contributions and would love to see them back. These gentlemen have the last direct experience, knowledge and memories of Indian hunting, which will never be seen again. It is a privilege for us to be able to share in this.
I wonder if there is a way of having a members-only section which has an entrance requirement of a year of membership or x number of posts to sift out the antis and trolls? I know it sounds a bit exclusive and elitist but it might be a practical option?
I'm not sure it would help. People have an agenda, as sad as it maybe. Things you post today have the ability to cause you problems years from now. Your suggestions would make it harder, not fool proof. This world has gone crazy, people care more about animals than humans. Common sense is no longer common.That is just f*#king disgraceful!
