    Looking for beta testers for a new airsoft social website

    I'm not sure how I'm being passive aggressive and I've literally said it isn't what I wanted to hear but I'm grateful for the responses.  I'll leave my contributions to the topic here but thanks again to everyone for the input.  Maybe we'll cross paths in real life and get the chance to play...

    Looking for beta testers for a new airsoft social website

    It isn't what I wanted to hear but I appreciate you all taking the time to say it.  Just to clear things up, I'm not trying to 'steal' people from you. If I was, this certainly isn't the way I'd go about it.  When things open up, I invite you to come take a look around. Don't worry, having a...

    Thank you for being a bit more constructive with your comments. I appreciate the time you've taken to type that out.

    Looking for beta testers for a new airsoft social website

    If the only reason people are gravitating back is because thry are being forced to i.e. no alternative, that kinda highlights the point I'm making.  There is certainly a need for the longer form format, I'll admit.  I wonder if there would be a way to build onto this. So that the huge archive...

    That's a fair comment. Thanks for sharing.  Would you say that as time goes on, more people are trending towards forum style UI or the pages/newsfeed style UI that we see on platforms like Facebook, insta, Twitter. Or maybe something else entirely? I'm not really here to fight any particular...

    You have such a strange and ugly attitude. I guess that's another problem with forums and pseudonymous users too. Hope you're OK.

    Thanks to those of you that have submitted interest. I'll email you individually to say hello and share some next steps.  I realise that suggesting change is hard for some people but I hope to see you soon. Just be open to the idea that maybe this isn't the pinnacle of  human interaction...

    You're assuming a lot there but thanks for the constructive comments. Keep up the good work.  I guess time will tell but I believe there is demand for it.  The beauty of being able to develop from the ground up is that we don't need to settle for second best or wait for some third party...

    Great! But good UI shouldn't require a lesson in how to use it.  It should be easily accessible and obvious, not buried away and to be brutally honest, formatted horribly. Have you tried using that game sites map on mobile? I genuinely had no idea about those areas of this site. It's a symptom...

    Haha I'm getting mental images of @Tackle running around his airsoft game site with a RIS (real imitation spear) because guns don't exist in his world.

    Looking for beta testers for a new airsoft social website

    For me forums lack in the following ways: 1. They are topic focused rather than people focused.  2. Threads get messy when people have a conversation. I can't for example reply to you without quoting your message and posting onto the main thread.  3. We can't easily introduce new features...

    Looking for beta testers for a new airsoft social website

    Thanks for the reply. Facebook is probably the closest in terms of user interface.  Options we have as a community currently are restricted in that they force us to adhere to a very rigid format e.g. discord, WhatsApp which makes it hard for us as a community to grow into the space. What if we...

    Looking for beta testers for a new airsoft social website

    Thanks for the reply.  The mvp is built on WordPress. It obviously isn't a perfect solution but I think as a proof of concept it will suffice. It allows us to relatively quickly plugin and play with additional features without spending months in custom development. Popular features can then be...

    Keep them coming :) Yes, developing one purpose built platform that allows for everything we need, rather than using some sites for this and others for that, makes sense.  Thank you for your response.

    Looking for beta testers for a new airsoft social website

    Hi guys and girls, I fell down the airsoft rabbithole just over a year ago and I bloody love it!  Something I've heard lots of times at game days is that players are struggling to find certain info and share things e.g. hearing about new game sites. Since starting out a year ago I've found...
