Link please :)

 
I think I got your request thanks :) any posts would be welcome aha just to get people engaged in the group

 
Is there anything about this group which is likely to be better than this here forum?

 
The more forums and Facebook groups people start, the more dispersed peoples attention and posts become.

Unfortunately, its so easy to start a Facebook group these days, anybody can do it.

The difficulty is keeping it busy enough to make it worthwhile.

People only have so much time to read all these pages.

 
Fair points, at the moment its much different to any groups or forums except personally I find groups easier to use. The reason we created in this group was to fill a gap from a group that had 4000 members which was closing down. However they changed their minds and kept it up so we kept the group just to see it went anywhere. We might also be looking to expand into areas like upgrades etc.

Equally, the more open and diverse the community becomes the better known the hobby is. This is a "good thing". Maybe we shouldn't see this new group as competition but in a more with a sense of camaraderie.

 
Some of the users in the group look like they're underage, but if they're complying with the rules then it should be fine. :)

 
I don't see another group as competition.

I only worry about competition in business and where money is involved.

Airsoft is just one of a few hobbies for me.

My point is that I only have so much time to spare trawling and human nature being what is, most people might start off as members of lots of groups and forums, but in the end they only regularly visit and more importantly, contribute, to a few.

Thus means that groups just individually get quieter and lose their expertise.

Monty, yep some of the users are under 18 however it would not be them that would be permitted to buy and sell, they would only be allowed to give and ask for advice :)

 
This is the only forum I haven't had a bunch of dicks giving random hate lol

 
best of luck to you mate.

BUT this will end up full of the same advert that the other airsoft relating selling pages on FB.....and there are LOADS!!!

Well we have disagreements but we don't generallly need moderation to prevent dickheadery, so i should hope so....
Although i'm now wondering if you are using "hate" to mean disagreement, as is the new stylee? I wonder what we ought to say when we actually do hate somebody these days? Ah... I remember, hate is a very strong emotion, after shame, then guilt, the strongest probably, which comes about as a result of behaviour so inimical to our peace that we cannot imagine forgiving... not much of that around these days, for all the Tory press bleating.

Sometimes I can't help but wonder if I wouldn't like things to go back to how they were in the late 80's early 90's just to see a little passion in people's eyes. Then I remember that if the Tories have their way, that is what will happen. I can't possibly want that then, even if I thought it might be a good thing. You know why? Because the 1st time around taught me to hate...

 
I can tell, on the other forums I just got insults without anything to back themselves up.

Very deep haha, it may not have been exactly hate, but I think you knew what I mean't.

Not a time I would know anything about.
