Another big name gone

I just received this email 

 

I can't really say I'm surprised. I stopped going there years ago as there seemed to be bugger all in terms of news etc

Ahh....Arnies. Back in the day it was a great source of Airsoft news and reviews. I haven't used it in probably a decade now. I'm surprised that it was still going TBH.

Me too, maybe even 15 years, & tbh when I tried Googling the site it just came up with ancient pages I couldn't access, I assumed the place died years ago.

 

So in the scheme of things, when it comes to airsoft forums, what's left ?, obviously afuk lol, maybe zin might come back ?, any others ?

1st forum I ever joined. Still checked it most days but there really was sod all traffic with maybe only 2 or 3 people posting semi regularly.

It used to be my homepage, especially in the golden age of chinese clones - the news page was always ticking over when companies release press info and promo shots. Now in the age of social media and pushed content, manufacturers can just skip the middle man and show everything direct to consumers.

 

Gonna miss it, despite not being there for years. It's like your primary school being torn down. Makes no difference in your day to day, but you still want it there.

That sucks, I joined up in 2006 and was a regular there
