The Zuckerpurge Has Begun

[Cromulon1994]

The biggest UK airsoft facebook group has been removed.

It was only a matter of time. 

Hopefully the upside is a return to forums, ideally this one.

Do you know the reasoning for removal?

 

[Enid_Puceflange]

I’ve only just started using Facebook (almost 50 years old,and a Luddite)

It won’t be a huge loss to me, I do prefer a forum, I find it far easier to navigate for information and a lot less tolerant of cockwombles and keyboard warriors ?

A friend admins it. A post over a year old, flagged by a bot it appears. No idea really why but poof, UKAC is gone.

Almost 66 and never have and never will subscribe or partake of the absolute crap which is fishhook. 

Luddite and proud! 

There, rant over. That wasn't too bad was it?

Peace and good happiness stuff??

I think this is inevitable in the long term for Airsoft.

Facebook hates anything contrary to their arbitrary values and politics in the bubble known as Silicon Valley.

Must admit, i'm not a fan of the habit of stuff getting straight up yeeted these days.

Unless its seriously egregious can it at least just be locked so what information is on there isnt lost to time?

Tbh ive never partaken in fb groups for hobbies like these, the forum environment is just superior, only time i go on there is to check when a site opens.

Can't understand why people persist in trying to resurrect the FB Airsoft groups that keep getting closed down, new variants on a name etc won't change the fact that FB opposes anything that relates to guns, even toy ones, & half the population of said FB pages are juvenile cockwombles that can't follow the simplest of rules.

The sensible members need to give up flogging a dead horse & migrate back to the forums such as this one.

As for the cockwombles, they can just fuck off full stop ?.

@TackleHey I used to like the Wombles... ?

.

Hold on, the more you think of the theme tune the more wrong it sounds ?

 

[Zitch]

I’ve never found Facebook groups particularly helpful on subjects like this anyway, too much censorship/control not able to organise discussions or threads. This place is so much more helpful and easy to navigate IMO. 
 

Facebook does have its uses for quick updates or sharing of info/company adverts but that’s where it’s limited.

Also you get answers from people who actually know what they are doing rather than ' my mate's brothers , bosses dog walker reckons'

Facebook is shite for finding useful info, or re-finding anything, and yes - wombles.

Forums FTW.

 

[DrAlexanderTobacco]

No great loss TBH - FB groups are intolerable - though it must be frustrating for your friend for sure.

Naaaaah I dye my hair ?

@Tackleyou know you wanna hear it again. Drum roll ......

A friend admins it.

That's cheating, you can't say that.

Will Greenwood will accept a friend request from anyone!

It was quite nice to see lots of folks on Facebook groups recommend this place as a safe haven / alternative.

Not to mention the whole classifieds section which is arguably the most active in the UK ever since Usedairsoft went kaput, and doesn't push for you to pay (looking at you, Prefired admins).
