Is the Facebook ban going to ruin the forum?

Seeing "rif" and "RIF" a lot more on this forum recently. IMO airsoft gun first, IF second, RIF third.

That's one of my pet peeves, people calling their Airsoft Gun their 'RIF'... seriously, it's a fucking BB gun, RIF is a legal distinction!

Everyone knows it's BBGat.

Everyone knows it's BBGat.

Or their Piece...if they're really gangsta

 

That said, I knew a guy who named his guns. He went so far as to having their names professionally engraved on them. Unfortunately, no-one but him could keep up with what guns were called what...so when he talked about using Beth and Martha, we still didn't have a clue what he was on about.

Indeed, the only thing I have against two tones is the reduced resale value, which ironically doesnt matter because of the drastically increased number of available buyers. I saw a post somewhere today where RIF was used when it should have been IF or just gun and I couldn't believe it.

 

Sad thing is that while i've no doubt these are genuine players, i'm seeing a cultural shift to glorifying air soft which I previously never saw. I want to say "chaps, airsoft predates the VCRA!"

Is the ban still on going? I found my access restored to a group I couldn't access for a while (I only read on FB).

[Samurai]

Yes, still on. They ban users temporarily. Maybe they ban pages temporarily too.

[proffrink]

I've known of some groups like the GearTech one getting banned the unbanned on appeal. I'm fairly certain groups/pages get permanently closed without an appeal though.

Has anybody heard about Paypal banning airsoft transactions or was that an idea of an April Foolx joke ?

Saw something from LWA about it, saying they are stopping accepting Paypal ?

[proffrink]

I know they don't always cover airsoft-related sales. LWA said it wasn't a joke though.

 

I'ma email PayPal.
