John from Elite has just emailed me:
What going on at Elite
Firstly I would like to apologise for the issues with our website and the confusion around dates. We had a problem or two and had to rewrite the website recently as all the source code was lost. On the plus side we now have included photos to tempt even more of you to come visit us.
We have big plans for Dorking in 2009 as we intend to continue growing the site and add more features. Plans include a second village, radio out post more bunkers and a third section to the safezone. Guess I know where I’m spending my weekends.
On an unpleasant note we have unfortunately had to re introduce “martial law” at Dorking as some player thought they were “coated in Teflon”. Any player caught cheating will be ejected from the site and banned from Elite for life. In addition to this we have doubled are staff, in short we take cheating very seriously at Elite and will do everything we can to eliminate it.
At last we have released issue 2 of Elite Warrior a free download magazine written by Airsofters for Airsofters. This in no means tries to compete with the glossy Airsoft mags or professional online mags. It is basically a newsletter that grew into something more.If you enjoy it and would like to contribute we are always looking for articles from Airsofters points of view, don’t worry about formatting it just send the text and any photos that you have the rights to and we will try and include them.
I’m about to start on the next issue, which means it’s time to hassle all those who promised me articles.
Lastly I would like to thank everyone for all the support we have had over the winter. I’m a great believer that the players are the ones who make a great Airsoft site and you guys are doing a fantastic job. Tom and I will continue to make interesting stuff for you guys to fight around.
Cheers, John (Elite Action Games)
