So i went Airsofting for the first time last week and I'll hopefully be spending my weekend Skirmishing to get my UKARA so i can finally get RIF's sick of Two Tones ahaha

Sorry I've not been very active this week.
The norovirus is running rife through my household  the whole place stinks of vomit and poo
 
 

I made this for us all to use.
Should get lots of use on here
 

So it turns out that forum-breaking bug is still very much alive and kicking.
 
Apologies guys, but do have slightly more to go on this time as I ruled out some stuff last time this happened.

IPB update has broken the classifieds. Fixing now.

Ok, done.

Good time to remind everyone that the forums do have a Twitter and Facebook account used almost exclusively for tracking any down time and making announcements on any maintenance or crashes.
 
Might be worth checking the links at the bottom of the page so that you know where to check if there's an next time (here's hoping there's not)

Which one of you is responsible for this

Done testing the new anti-bumping stuff. Thanks for all your help (you did nothing to help).

Tonight (Friday)/this morning (Saturday) the forums are archiving everything more than 2 years old and resizing/compressing oversized images.
 
You'll still be able to look up these threads but they'll be on another table in the database (again, this shouldn't affect your experience at all - it's just technical stuff). Should improve performance marginally but is mostly future proofing against using up too much disk space or the database becoming too big to read rapidly.
 
There might be a slow down whilst this happens as it's moving ~27,000 topics and resizing ~33,000 image thumbnails. Full sized images will be resized through Saturday.
 
For a lot of you this should reduce your total attachment sizes (allowing for you to upload more). Remember you can visit https://airsoft-forums.uk/attachments/ to delete your unwanted images.

A quick reminder that the forums will be going down for part of today in order to be migrated. Don't be too worried.

Aaaaargh!
I'm feeling very sorry for myself. I've been shot to sh*t tonight, mostly by someone who thought it's okay to shoot after being hit. Repeatedly.
And my suppressor is knackered.
And my new case is broken.
Beer then bed 

Downsides to being 6 foot 4.... posted a grenade around the corner at about knee/waist height and get banned from using pyros for the day because it was still too high.... typical hahaha, my bad!

Yet again, thank you for the reports about a spammer.

Goodbye, farewell, adieu adieu adieu!
 
So I'm taking a job that has a long contract, will involve me moving around a lot, and doesn't leave me with really any chance for airsoft. So, before I leave my lovely family house for a small apartment, it's time for me to sell my airsoft kit. Yep, all of it. If a few years down the line, I have the chance to get back into airsoft, I'd love to, but for now, it's "f***-me-that's a-lot-of-stuff-Friday". Taking a long time to go through my boxes of stuff, find all my receipts, get photos up etc!
 
Have made a thread in the Gear For Sale section, so feel free to paroose at one's leisure. Had fun putting a little gift basket of bonus treats together though. I do love giving prezzies!
