CompulsiveWarfare Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Today, April 6th, 2016 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United Kingdom Airsoft community was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the Empire of Zukerberg The United Kingdom Airsoft community was at peace with that fuckface and, at the solicitation of facebook, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace on the internet....but...LONG LIVE THE FORUMS!

Baz JJ Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 A new one has sprang up in its place. The old group had over 8000 members. Im sure the new group will just take all the same members back but without RIF sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted April 9, 2016 Root Admin Share Posted April 9, 2016 Well, I guess it's time to pack up and join non-cancerous, actually helpful, functional and properly moderated forums again. Shucks, I'm really going to miss the overly-vocal and poorly spell-checked repetitive questions; the retailer spam and constant belittling of new players on UK Angsty Children. Pity for the people there who've been banned from every decent airsoft forum already, heh. Seriously though, I did browse there and like every airsoft gathering there was the occasional gem, but the quality of posts on there was always mostly pretty low and towards the end people tried far too often to belligerently sell things after the gun sales ban like they were 'sticking it to the man' - this is what happens.

Im sure the new group will just take all the same members back but without RIF sales. So what is it now called "Airsoft Community United Kingdom" - spliters! [thinking of a scene from The Life of Brian] So who will be responsible for the care in the community? Is AFUK going to attract those with special needs or will they go to Z1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacarathe Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Imma set up 'Community of Airsoft in the United Kingdom' Sounds a bit cult-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkmikey22 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 It hasn't been removed! The group has been DISABLED. I had this on a group I was admin on. The mods still have access to the group, and once the issue has been removed ( in this case RIF sales), they can then ask facebook to review it and reactivate the page. Give it a week or so, it will probably be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
