What's with all the thread titles written by 10 yr olds lately?
-
Neet, what goggles?

Oh yeah, keeping this discussion strictly AEG.
-
So to redirect this. When is it appropriate to suggest persons not upgrade their [stock/undamaged, but not necessarily new] gun and instead replace it and then upgrade the new gun later. When operating by the caveat that AEGs with no version in the £300-400 price range exist, I struggle to find any AEGs (excluding ICS/TM) in the £160-£280 price range which appear to be good value when compared to an AEG in the £80-160 price range or £280-400+ ranges. I always feel like the general advice for AEGs given here is buy cheap or buy expensive for your first gun, so spend £80-140 or £280-450, rarely are users without specific preferences advised otherwise and often advice indicates buying cheap to ensure the eventual 3-6 month later expensive purchase is done with better knowledge of airsoft. Which brings me to this thread, most people asking about upgrades are not holding guns in the £280-400+ range and if they are they're put down quickly unless evidence of personal experience is adduced. Those asking about upgrades on cheaper guns are generally encouraged because when something goes wrong the loss is minimal and as noted above sometimes a mergre £100 upgrade budget + labour can hugely improve an £80-160 gun quite efficiently. Or alternatively depending on resources they're direct to buy in the £280+ ranges. So why is it that we're a bit hit and miss on the on mid range guns. I have received the general impression that rarely can a £160-£280 gun be brought up to the quality of a gun in the range above that for the same costs but that the cheaper guns can. So should mid range guns be upgraded at all, or just replaced with expensive guns? Do mid range guns even have a place in airsoft (when their form factor is far from unique. Just rambling because the other day I wanted to tell someone to scrap their guns - as others eventually did.
-
I have specifically excluded this from my question.
-
I'm not referring to replacing broken parts or servicing old and out of warranty guns. When it comes to parts AND labour, I struggle to see the advantage to upgrading a <£300 AEG unless it's a form factor not available at a higher quality stock.

Easy going means relaxed and not overbearing.
-
If that is what you want to do, just use the report button, but it's not in your self interest is it? Everyone here is very easy going.
-
We don't have the facility, and it's fine. Either edit this thread with the full editor or wait until you have another vid and make your intro thread then.
-
Not intended that way. You don't need to edit your existing threads, however please follow the good example of other users with a new introthread which you can post your vids to.

Haha ditto, I went quite made this week and bought a glock 18 to go with my glock 17. -
I was just about to suggest perhaps you might create an additional default stream for the entire classifieds section?

It's not an issue! It's a good idea which could help people find content easier who might not otherwise realise how to set up a stream (or even know that they can). So if you were to set up a new feedback thread I'll action a result if we can get something on it. Even if it's just a discussion between a few people about what they think other people would find most useful.

Is there a way to change the grey font on white? So hard to read.

Yep. Much nicer. Perhaps we should give it a few weeks then see what people think though, Sacarathe. I mean I do know there's the option to readily duplicate 'themes' and have them selectable by the user. Perhaps we could make up one that's slightly more contrasty for regular folks who just wanna read? Either way, this seems like a very nice middle ground that's akin to the old site.
Every goddamn major IPB version they go and try to make it all look nice instead of creating an actual good environment for power users and new users alike. I'd probably have wanted to kill myself reading that faint grey on white for a month.

On a walking frame obviously. Even old people need attachments. -
CO2 Buffer tube regulators! Woot! (wolverine/polarstar)

You've never called me sensible before! <3

Bullpup SCAR, Bullpup GHK G5 ahhh the choices!
-
Yes, but you don't say "sure mate we can price match you that" and then say" "and we're also going to charge you £8 for nothing".
-
My biggest gripe was them was price matching an item with zero one and then adding zero one's postage (£10) into the equation while I was standing right there. "if you got it from them you'd have to pay postage."

Too bad updated is not synonymous with improved.
