fivezerothree Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Still appears to be down unfortunately, this however gives me time to start my next article "Your First AEG" Basically they had some sort of power failure which affected a particular server stack (multiple servers in a column) and because of the nature of the power failure the failsafes didn't work and the data was corrupted. They have reverted to their last nightly back up but given it's the whole server stack it's likely to be 100's of Terabytes. If not the Petabyte range. As of 1:07PM it is at 63% and it started about 20-24 hours ago. Monumental task really, but the hardware on these servers isn't on par with what would be in a dedicated server so it takes longer. It'll be late evening by the time it's finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike636 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Ah I see that does sound pretty monumental failure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted July 13, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 13, 2013 Didn't even have to watch the video to know what your comment meant. Sad. Haha. Anyway though, site looks fucking epic already! Just read the CM16 review thingy too, well written and I like the style, this site might go places.

fivezerothree Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Well there's a seat for you at the table if you want it buddy. There's also a few other people who have IM'd me privately with offers of help. I've not replied because I work for Dyson on the weekend so don't get any time until the evening.

fivezerothree Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 On the off chance anyone cares to have a think; is there anything that people would like to see or be able to do on a new Airsoft website? We are trying to make it unique as possible to drive interest so naturally I should be asking you guys. The latest idea we have had is monthly monster 'mash up' AEG builds. We/you submit AEG modification ideas, we build it and buy it by hosting a raffle at £1 per go perhaps and the winner gets the gun! Thoughts?

If you spend £200 on the gun and modifications (Could be more could be less) but your gonna need around 200 people entering the raffle. Maybe you could up the raffle fee a bit? Or do a survey to find out how many people will participate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dead Games Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Really liking the site, as someone who is pretty new to the airsoft world seems to have a lot of really useful information. Especially the tutorials section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornleverpuller Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hi For content I'd really like to see something for someone at the very begginging of your purchases. Lots of people talk about starter guns but not so many about the gear, what the acronyms mean or really how to get into it. Is it something where if you turn up on your own you are going to have a decent time still or be sat on your billy unless you convince your mates to come? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bornleverpuller Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 An article regarding your questions is actually being written at the moment! Hand tight buddy. That's great then. Another article I think would be useful would be getting your first gun a step by step guide so what to do when you get your gun out of the packaging ready to use it, do you need to tighten anything, spray anything on it, where is safe to doa test firing?

Suzuki Yamamoto Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I really like the look of the site and have enjoyed viewing your articles, reviews etc. Something I would like to see is a tutorial section for the less "Gun tech savvy" out there. This could have tutorials on things like, "How to replace/install an AEG Spring", "How to replace/install a new AEG motor", things like that. I also think a good one for the beginners out there is "How to clean and maintain your weapon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose87 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 just looked on the site, the picture that comes up with the people sat in the trench made me chuckle, theres a bloke in the fore ground with his hand to his mouth obviously shouting to someone. for some reason and i have no idea why i think hes calling someone 'GAY' in a camp voice! PS, incase of haters im not a homophob. it just reminds me of the homophobic seal GIF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Esoterick Posted July 29, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 29, 2013 Just wanted to say thanks for setting up the site. I was into Airsoft when I was a teenager and now i'm getting back into it I found the starter articles especially helpful. The layout is solid as well which always helps.
