I think for niche hobbies, Forums will always be useful. I have found plenty of info on forums across various topics over the years that a google search or even asking a friend.

If I am after specific info I search the web for a forum on the topic and search through there for what I need, 90% of the time its always spot on like you say without having to trawl through pages and pages of trash or flame wars..

90% of my answered questions come from googling and not even signing up to specific areas just to ask the question

likewise, Google or even the search function on here is a fantastic way of finding the information you need. plus you find out all sorts of extra useful information which you wouldn't get if you just asked someone. ?

But sometimes that trash gives me hours of entertainment ?

I dont do social media mainly for this...

In all honesty I dont really care what these other plonkers are saying about us. I find this place entertaining enough and hard to keep up with most of the time   

Its the internet, at the end of the day there will be fans of here, and there will be those who are not! This idiot who is bitter for getting found out (re pretending to be a customer) needs to just move on. If his service was good enough he wouldnt need to pretend.

BUT the flip side is when you do get new members (not singling the new players out just it IS them 90% of the time) asking the same questions over and over again (weird thing is they can come up with 101 different ways of asking the same questions but are unable to find the answer they want them selves ! ?)that could be answered very easily with these , it does get rather annoying to say the least ?

Sounds like the forum is a better place without him.

Man size target at 100ft though! I could probably throw BBs more accurately than that ?

If this forum has upset them maybe they should stay away from arrse (army rumour service) I'm not a member or been in the forces but have come across it when looking for info on some of my kit. WOW. Just wow. Some of the grillings people get on there  for not searching or asking silly questions are somthing else.  I cringe for some of the newbies on there.

I am (not forces, but am a member of arrse)

You’re right, they would benefit their lives by staying far away from arrse

Just a pointer about quite a few of the ‘new members’ asking ‘silly questions’, it appears to be a hobby of quite a few to create sock puppet accounts purely for their nights fun of asking stupid questions.  That accounts for a proportion of the ‘firm’ responses (whether they are right or wrong about the validity of the posts)

Currently there is a subject on arrse which attracts a particular kind of poster, and the many threads that keep appearing on it are not ideal places for the unwary.

I can think of more fun things to do with my time. Out of curiosity what subject are you on about? I was looking for cleaning tips on webbing and bit and peices on kit maintainance and that was salty enough.

There have been multiple threads on the incident here in Salisbury over the last year.

New posters are few, but will be viewed with suspicion, and risk being contacted by PM by certain posters for snippets of information 

There are three key posters that are full on trolls:

One is a self confessed war criminal, now using their subsequent account.  They show traits of being a teenage fantasist, but their previous confessions are too realistic, and are obsessed with setting off WW3.  They drink far too much vodka, meths etc and keep forgetting to distract and deny whilst slipping into confession on behalf of the Russian state 

They are the most dispicable individual that I have encountered.

The second appears to have originally a genuine individual, but is now a series of trolls desperately seeking out snippets of information,  denying particular points and backtracking as the official party line changes.  They have multiple personalities and a very broad range of language ability and inability 

The third on the face of it is a conspiracy theorist, but they post distractions and lengthy copy/paste dribble.  The quality of the material in their selective posting has dropped, they regularly post two or more contradictory ‘assumptions’ in one piece.  Their primary role is to blur the subject and sow doubt on anyone googling the subject.  

They are doing a good job at filling the internet with distraction on behalf of a state with a guilty concience

 

[Nicky blue eyes]

Fair enough. I'll be truthful, thats not what I had expected at all. I thought you might have been on about people haveing a dig at the military's deployments  at one time or another around the world. The trouble with the internet and social media is that any Muppet can say things without any real consequence. If I said half of stuff like that in a public setting people would either think I'm nuts or I'd get a slap probably . I can't see the what they're going to get out of talk like that. Strange times!

Ah, Mr 50 Yards-I-mean-feet-but-it's-the-same-thing-anyway.

I think my favourite part of airsoft is how it bends the laws of physics and warps space and time.

Just WOW!

The internet gives remoulds like that a voice. The should be an aptitude test before you can buy a smart device.

Actually what’s been going on here has only recently been cleared up , you know the Russian hackers have been accused of interfering with Brexit and the trump election ? well turns out it was government hackers from Kazakhstan ! ?

But unfortunately due to the fact there not the sharpest tools in the draw (where Borat is from) and are still using 1980’s Russian computers , forum level security is about all they can break through ! Sad but true (ish , possibly or possibly not ?)

wow I did not expect for this to get such a response.
