Great to see a good old forum!

[Khyber]

Just joined the site and the sport. First off... it is great to have a proper forum for a change. As someone who ditched FB for good a few months back and of an age who remembers when forums were the place to go for information and connections, it is so good to see a very active forum again. I remember all the old forums I used to visit for various hobbies that died out with the rise of FB and groups. I hated the lack of diversity FB groups offered in terms of sub forums and individual threads etc...

 

Anyway I digress, had a nosey around and the forum looks great and well categorised with an absolute wealth of activity and information. Cant wait to get stuck in more and learn more about the sport and contribute where I can. Have a great day!

Ahoy and welcome to both.

 

Yes, we're one of the holdouts from Facebook. I'm still keeping an eye on it, because of sites insisting on using it for communication and organisation.  There are also some UK airsoft groups but I'm questioning why I'm even in them, as they're mostly "Wat am best gnu?" posts (where everyone replies with their most recent purchase, irrespective of any criteria given), or worse, "Halp gnu no wurk", where you get drip-fed the actual problem one painful leading question and reply at a time.

 

You will see the occasional "Read the stickies" reply here, but it's generally good natured and constructive.

This is the go to place for knowledge when it comes to airsoft....I think, nothing else (other sites) compare.

 

Welcome ?

Welcome mate.

Yeah, its a good place for banter and info ?

If you have a question, do some searches first as most things have come up before ?

[Cannonfodder]

Welcome. I was glad to find this place too as I'd had enough of all the bullshit found in airsoft groups on faceache 

[Khyber]

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have searched for quite a few questions I've had so far and already found the answers without needing to post so it shows how active this place is. I'll be spending some time on here for sure. See you all in the forums!

It can be worth re-asking, as we're capricious, and the accepted wisdom changes over time.  iMax B6 chargers used to be the go-tos, now we're into the SkyRC R65 and T100.  CYMAs used to be considered robust but very basic budget guns, now they're doing some pretty decent stuff as well.  There are no stupid questions, only sardonic answers.
