Another big name gone

Website probably more broken than it appears. I've asked for a password reset, and nothing has arrived. 

 
Checked this morning and it's gone. Short note on the landing page. 

Some good memories.

 
Ahhhh shame that, it was a good site back in the day but sadly things like FB groups and other sites just killed it off at the end of the day. People forget that these sites ain’t free to run so donations are needed to keep it going. Same as this site I guess.

You're absolutely right about the evolution of how people consume their info but with more and more social media platforms cracking down on firearms and replicas it'll be interesting to see how things develop. Personally, I really like the forum format and I would hope we'd see a swing back to that but I'm not sure that generations raised on social media will want that.

Aye, I agree there, sadly social media platforms have killed off most of the good old forums. Who knows where all this will lead…. ?

To be fair I'm not sure where they find the energy to play airsoft, most of them are like sloths with overdeveloped thumbs from online gaming ?

Given how often some of the groups have to pin posts or repeat answers to repetitive questions, yeah, they won't take too kindly to this format.

What the social media platforms do provide is an excellent source of memes and gifs. There are occasions where someone will spark the interest and wake the slobbering beast that is the FB social community. The most recent one was a Karen discovering the fafo, I won't go over it, it's Bryn done

I managed to miss that entire debacle because I dropped most of my FB airsoft pages. Sounds like it was amusing though.
