Lol, happy wife, that's an oxymoron if ever I heard one😏 Yep, we all like a project every so often. 👍

I agree, & I know frig all about vpn's etc, but at the same time trying to advertise the services of a witch doctor etc on a UK airsoft forum doesn't exactly scream "sophisticated", there's always the possibility that this wave of spammers is nothing more than a poor attempt at data harvesting by ill informed chancers who don't have the best masking technology. Now if they had created some convincing looking posts offering cheap tactical kit or gnu's, with pics showing them being modelled by an airsoft god such as myself 😏, they'd have got loads of hits.

@Jedi_MasterMaybe it's time then to start with the "moody country" ip ban, see if that makes a difference, if it does, great, if not, consider other options. It seems like the easiest option initially, requiring not much mod work once set up. Although it does make me wonder about sites like zeroin, while it's a bit of a ghost town of late, don't see any spam popping up, wonder how they've filtered or blocked it ?

Agree, I've banned dozens the over the last week, who knew there were so many witch doctors out there🤣. Definitely need something new, spammer signs up & 10 minutes later they've created about 15 absurd threads, it will drive genuine members away if they can't be arsed to trawl through the crap to find the Airsoft stuff. Great.....not, to make matters worse they look underage, someone randomly passes through & sees that they'll think it's a nonce forum😬

That's a lot of money for something so hideously fugly🤢

Alternatively, KJW do a couple of hi-capa variants, they're "all metal", & while I had no issues with mine, I never used it in the colder seasons & even in hot weather it was never quite as good as either of my TM's. Had an all metal WE hi-capa too, but that was a poorly made bag-o-shite, irrespective of the seasons lol.

No worries, for some pedants it's a massive trigger😤😬, for the rest of us it's an excuse for a mickey take & a meme lol😜 PS, welcome👍

It's not a license 🤯

Don't save money by buying new, buy secondhand & pay double🤣 He's got a damaged pistol that's an absolute bargain too😏

@The DrabOlive I've had a load of pistols, still do, but first couple of years of playing prob had 6 I think, 3 different brands, ksc, kjw, we, best of them was my ksc G19, & then one day a regular at the chain of sites I used offered me a tm hi-capa 4.3 with 3 mags for £70, had a try on the edge of the safezone, it was actually acrisse, a military training area near Folkestone, middle of winter & absolutely freezing. First few shots I'm like "wow, that's got some snappy kick", & hitting small targets at 30m+. Emptied all 3 mags, 24 bb's in each, without missing a beat I FREEZING TEMPERATURES!!!! 😲. Bought it there & then, still using it probably 20 years later. Buy whatever you like the look of, BUT First buy a tm hi-capa, that way you've always got a perfect secondary to go back to when the others let you down.

That's a shame😔, especially to have to come back to the "sunny" UK to get a game in 🥶

Welcome back mate, where abroad were you that you couldn't keep playing ?

Sounds like the retailer is at fault here, either due to their declaration on the documents, or the actual rif supplied being not fit for purpose in the UK. If I were you I'd argue this with the retailer, don't rollover & take any BS, & maybe start a claim straight away via your funding source.

Don't sweat it, be yourself & she'll come around 👍

To be fair, how many people probably said "but he always came across as such a nice guy" when referencing the likes of Dennis Neilson or Jeffrey Dahmer, to name but a few lol🤔

Nah, he's much nicer than KM, but to be fair, so is ebola🤣

Warrior kit is awesome, owned quite a few rigs of theirs (still got a DAR rig), slightly on the heavy side but I guess for good reason, but if your fit enough it won't be an issue.

Your not quite getting it, some of the knock off copies, & they're not all relatively cheap, have suspect build quality, no double stitch bars at the end of stitch rows etc, & poor composition plastic buckles that to the untrained eye look literally super hard in their feel, but that's deceptive, while a harder material their usually considerably thinner, which means that when hit with enough force, which isn't necessarily an excessive force, but highly focused by a BB, they shatter or have holes punched through them. Hence when people recommend particular kit it's usually because it's been proven over time. Bulle kit is generally brilliant, not necessarily the very best tactical kit available if you had very deep pockets, but as budget kit nothing really matches its price point.

On top of the mods list there are a few "semi-mods", myself included, that can ban accounts, specifically spammers & blatant scammers. The "semi's" don't get notification when you report spam threads, but rest assured we clear them as soon as we see them pop up in the "unread content" list.

To be fair, if I was as disliked as much as him, don't think I'd be ready to commit to a permanent residence, or turn up at a site in a fancy motor 😏
