    Forum updates, feedback system and new versions

    By Arnie

    Firstly I'm going to try to document forum updates and other work completed to the site here in my forum blog. This will keep all the forum related updates in one place.   I've completed several updates to the forums today. We're now running the latest IPS versions for Gallery and Blog. There should be several bug fixes and feature adjustments with these new versions; I don't get a list I'm afraid or I'd publish it.   I've also taken comments on the trading system on board and we now have a

Broken guns, healed heart.

Yeah yeah, valentines - schmalentines. I'm going for a beer ......     Now about the whole idea of lending guns out to people, right? Well you know the kind of people that you would trust with them, and the kind of people that you wouldn't. So to say that I was apprehensive about my birthday skirmish the day before yesterday would be putting it mildly ....   There were people I did trust (Jason, The Other Tim, Dave (Shard) and Dan (well, mostly, He's hyperactive by nature but we never act

Final Showdown....

The two of them moved into the final room and took cover behind a set of barricades as a hail of fire greeted them.   "Whatever happens next, stay down, you understand?" Ghost hissed to Havoc. He raised his voice.   "Afternoon, Marlowe! Finally lost the plot, have we?"   The kamysh clad figure laughed maniacally.   "Always with the bravado, Ghost. Will you not learn to respect your betters?"   "Well, that's a matter of opinion." Ghost shot back. "What say you we settle this like m

ARSSES. What an appropriate moniker.

Intolerant squaddies with IQs below 100? perhaps.   Heres's my thought for them. Lets see if they can actually discuss it, or will they just dismiss it without addressing any of my points? I think we all know whats gonna happen   Wonder why no-one wants to join the ranks of sub-par intelligence disrespectful thug squaddies anymore     http://www.arrse.co.uk/cpgn2/Forums/viewto...start=2190.html     And I said; "Ahhh yes, hello!!

An evening with Evil Hippy

`It was just a day like any other, no-one expected it to turn out like this... `   Actually, it really was just another generic evening of mindless drinking and smoking, so I decided to make an event of it, with what little resources I had, namely;   Me My mate Matt 16 beers (yo ho ho) A quantity of a rather controversial relaxant Guns, lots of guns 1/4 bottle of V.S.O.P. Champagne Cognac Fresh fillet steak Camera phone Egg Ammo, & Nothing better to do.   .

A wish, a prayer, & an MP5K.

The above mentioned MP5K arrived last Wednesday - the Marui AEG version (I wanted it to still work next week ) - and I am pretty much stunned by it even now. Its the 10th Marui AEG I've got and it is, simply, one of the best.   I wasn't expecting it to be at all, but the only immediate differences between any other AEG and this little puppy are the barrel lengths and the obvious aesthetics. An M14 may have the longestestest barrel ever, but in all but open woodland or a field this little bab

A New Arena.

I am hugely impressed and shocked that something as cool as this: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...ndpost&p=638612 is allowed to happen in airsoft.   I mean, come on?!!! Why the hell are we p**sing around in some woodland with rhododendrons and artificial 'nam villages when there's this abandoned factory area over in sunny Spain that looks pretty much like every cool urban invasion movie ever?!   Health and safety would throw a fit of course, but hey, screw 'em If i

I am an Airsofter....

I am an airsofter.   Apparently that makes me several things. 1) A Sad loser with no life.   Well, I dunno about that one. I mean, it gets me out of the house to meet people with simlar interests, which is surely the point of any hobby 2) A wannabe soldier (AKA WALT)   I don't want to be a soldier, and I don't airsoft to pretend to be one. I'm playing a sport that simulates combat, so obviously some kit will show resemblance to that used by a soldier. I'd never join the army,

Straight past your nose and turn left at the elbow

Bloody London cabbies, right? They are famed throughout the country (`nay, even the world!` according to the gushings of the olympic planning committee ) for their unrivalled knowledge of the cit streets.   Even apart from this, you would imagine that the coppers who are on guard duty at the bloody houses of freakin' parliament would know their way around the immediate area of the City, would you not?   Evidently not, as it happens, because we were sent in many directions other than the c

AEG Realism

It remains cold and difficult to test airsoft, but that's not stopped me posting up a few new reviews on the justpistols website.   I've also been photographing some of my current guns (some for review, some for fun as they're already reviewed) with my lovely new digital SLR and you'll find a lot of these shots are in the picture threads and/or my gallery.   One of the guns not yet reviewed is my ICS MP5 SD5 AEG. As I don't skirmish, an AEG is an indulgence, but I've been enjoying the AEG

Hippiecrites

Went out to a `rave` (messy, debauched underground-style mashup, for those that don't quite know) at Londons swanky SE1 nightclub on Friday, totally on a whim and a late and random invitation; it turned out to be pretty much identical to a festival but indoors - under a railway bridge in Lambeth in fact - in a cavernous series of rooms in the dank and seedy underbelly of UK nightlife ( i.e. the best part).   Turns out it was run by and for ......   peace-lovers advocating hate ( ) busy ma

Ups and downs

I was having another look at this thread today, and noticed a lot of people putting fluctuating scores based on what had happened that day. So in a desperate attempt to find a way into updating my blog, I noticed I've had a bit of a fluctuating week.   I had a really good night out last Saturday, wearing my new skirt that ate into my Guns 'n Guys budget but was oh so worth it. Princess mode for the win!! Dancing in my corset probably wasn't the best idea, as I found out from Lex at EW that

Dark Angel XIX.....

Recently, I've been playing at Electrowekrz a lot. I'm sure most board members will be aware that at EW, which is the most intense CQB site in the country, there is a team called the Dark Angels.   The Dark Angels have a deserved reputation for being hardcore and very very good. They are at present not accepting auditions, you have to be 'recruited' by an existing member.   I showed up tuesday last and got introduced to Lex, Darkangel 1. We chatted for a bit, and then he casually says "Oh,

Bad Job here. Not positive news.

Spare a thought for the 27 year-old woman and her daughters who have to listen today as my old man and th parish priest go to see them in a hospice, and tell them that the mother will almost certainly be dead this time tomorrow   Its a funny thing when you come downstairs in the morning and Dad drops somthing into the conversation along the lines of "I have to go and see that lady in XXXXX Hospice and tell he she has one day to live"   Its a little hard to manage your toast and muesli aft

Buying gucci kit.....I feel like such a hypocrite

I have just bought a Blackhawk Omega elite Crossdraw vest.   And I hate to say it.....but it ###### all over any previous vest I've worn from about thirty stories up.   My thinking behind this vest was for travellling to away games where I'm running one rifle and one sidearm, but also because my viper vest has recently starting to grate on me. Paritcularly when I've been getting very hot in game, the material chafes.   Not so the blackhawk. It's lovely to wear, easy to adjust, holster i

Travellers: Gypsy Myths.

I've put this in the media section because....well because its lonely in there right now And the only place most of you will have heard about them or have any information about them is from the media. Maybe the odd encounter, but most likely the media.   Travellers (as they like to be called) are a mixed bag. The reason I know so much is that I have daily contact with many of them, and am quite close to many more.   As far as I am concerned this is unfortunate, and you can leave a large

Thought of the Day.

Collective nouns. You get a gaggle of geese, a murder of crows, a lodge of beavers, a pack of dogs, a litter of puppies, a parliament of owls, a destruction of wildcats (apparently ).   The collective noun for English sportsmen will forever in my mind be a Failure.   A failure of English sportsmen. Beautiful.   I used it to describe a group of marshals to one of them (Combat) at GZ, nice to have good humoured people like Combat who can take a joke

A Fist Full of Hollers

The satisfaction at watching your latest victim wince and recoil in pain, the exquisite pleasure as the hapless unfortunates line up with pride in their hearts, only to fall in agony before your merciless attacks, mmmmm….. There is a delicious satisfaction simply listening to the screams and hollers from those who have been blistered and stung by your own hand, their weltered faces and limping frames testament to your domination…..   Evilhippy hasn’t gone to the dark side – I got there year

I am so *fruitcage* ING *fruitcage* ING *fruitcage* ING ANNOYED RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!   I have *just* spent well over 2 hours writing up an entry about today, full of carefully researched (for once) links and, although I say it myself, some rather good content and material I would have liked to have kept for the sake of improving my writing, if nothing else.   The server had too many connections.

Sold now't, Kimber inbound!

A blatant excuse to half-inch Havoc's entry title o' course (and where the hell are the rest of 'em, eh?? ) and just because I know nothing about Kimbers other than the distinctive look of the wider slide hatchings, and of course that lovely calligraphilicious logo doesn't mean I can't harp on about how nice its gonna be to have one.   I think I may have actually done this little shindig before, but hey, I'm prepared to go through it all again   Because the thing it will most importa

Ritalin, or Cashcard & Scissors?

Another forumite in the form of Shard (hey Dave ) from came round last night, and it has thrown my dozy, minute attention span into sharp relief.   Halfway through taking an RK-104 into pieces I was, to be quite honest, losing interest in the whole shebang, and for no good reason. We were there to try and fix the bloody accuracy on it and see whats what with the weirdness, but, like everything I do to entertain meself, I found my mind wandering and I was not as engaged in the process as I sh

More Double Dealings....

*gets on Soap Box*   Anyone who has ever used a bittorrent client for downloading all those licensed and legal songs that are so readily & cheerfully released by the record labels (yes, both of them) knows all about this idea of `leeching`.   I got my IP blocked from Azureus (note the lack of linky) a few days ago despite all my files having been allowed to run to a share ratio of at least 1:1, and in some cases as much as 5.5:1 or thereabouts - thats the fair measure to show you have
