  1. Out of interest, is everyone happy with the 100 post requirement for sales? What is the experience of users, now that it has been in place for a few years? Would a reduced postcount requirement to access sales be preferable or bring a return to fraudulent users?

      It's a horrendeus limit! I think it should be changed to 75 posts!

      I think it's too much personally. 50/75 would be better. I definitely see the need for it. But it does penalise good sellers and makes it less active then it could be.

      its fine, its long enough that you show you are definitely a board contributor and youre also a serious skirmisher, its also good from a security point of view, by the time youve reached 100 posts youre pretty well entrenched here, youre known and trusted to a point, it makes the sales area a much better secure and safe trading area than many of the free for all piles of shid that are on the internet, havent been here for a while, coming back to an old friend

  2. Attention all new skin haters: the forum skin can be reset to previous skins by clicking on the 'Skin and Language' link at the bottom of the thread. Also, kindly stfu. Thanks. :P

      Well as i said, the lock out thing is a mystery and it was only the old skin that did it. That is something i can't fault anyone on here for.

      All I'm gonna say is that the lack of that floaty bar on the bottom is most confusing, but apart from that it all still feels like home.

    4. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      Agree with above, everything else is great and I appreciate the work that's gone in to it, but not having the bar at the bottom anymore feels a step backwards since now you have to scroll back to the top of the page every time.

  3. Anyone know where I can source some TM 1911 mags for? Also, any recommendations on G&P compatible 20 round style M16 mags?

      LWA has VN 110 rounders; Think they're about £12.

      Nice one guys - Habakure; think the forum had another fart. *sigh*

      :'( you can't just remove the "FB Connect" link at all?

      I quite like it, but if it's extra hassle, then it should probably go.

       

      Ben.

    4. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      I say get rid of the facebook stuff entirely, I don't think I've actually seen anyone really making major use of it. Even the box down there V wouldn't be a massive loss, it's all available by other means.

      I really do wish I could take it all back...

      DarkMM

      Well at least we won't hear you scream when it all goes wrong

  9. Away for the weekend running MA. Try not to destroy the place while I'm gone!

  10. Off to Prague for a few days. Will try to get access in the evenings there. :)

      That's why he is going. He needs to get his mafia back in order.

      I heard something bad about Germany once, too. Does that mean I shouldn't go there each year, either?

      I went to Prague this Christmas, was nice. Taxis are a ripoff though

  11. resolves to sell the legendary RPK & all accessories after lengthy personal debate. :(

      Part of me wants you to stop - the rest of me thinks "Hmmm Marlowe's RPK accessories..." :D

    4. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      Let's be honest, a stock CYMA AK will probably work more consistently, so it does make sense.

       

      Can't wait for the eventual buyer to instantly fix the thing and make it work flawlessly...

  12. has just had a woman reverse into his car at the petrol station. :|

      Doesn't surprise me. I once had a woman back out of a parking bay into my car and I'd only been stopped behind her since before she got into her car.

    3. Marlowe

      Marlowe

      The worst bit is she had reverse parking sensors on her car. >_

    4. evansy

      evansy

      That explains it. She was probably too distracted by the bleeping to actually look where she was going.

  13. Has anyone heard back from Ehobby since Chinese New Year? I am trying to bulk order M16A1s from them pronto and no reply. :(

    1. faramon

      faramon

      Seperate companies so probably not really helping but I finally heard from RSOV today.

    2. bladerunner168

      bladerunner168

      Unlikely, past experience with HK shops after Chinese New Year is a backlog of upto 10 woking days, they reopened on the 7th.......

    3. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      I sent WGC an e-mail a few days ago and nothing back yet when normally they'd reply within a day. Definitely a back log over there.

  14. is having to sell off his rarer soviet rifles to pay for the MR2's oil leak. :

    1. Leshy

      Leshy

      Sell the mr2, lots of cheap ones out there without leaks.

    2. Vice

      Shame.. I hate having to let good things go to pay for necesities

      Damn. You don't need a car that much....

  15. Just got new prescription shades. B-) YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

    1. Shriven

      I bet they're great big old man ones.

      I got some new shades for my Egypt jolly. Had to be Ray Ban Aviators. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

       

      Ben.

  16. MA/6.5, then Spain, then a drive to der Nurburgring and back. Going to be a busy Easter. :(

  17. typed an awesome true airsoft-related story but closed the window. Typed this instead.

    1. cazboab

      cazboab

      Well there was that time you lit a grenade with your finger...

    2. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      Man I hate it when that happens, so so much. Web browsers seriously need to start adding more functionality for keeping hold of forum posts and other message you've typed but not submitted.

    3. DarkMM

      DarkMM

      Hmm is this the modern version of "The dog ate my copy-book" ?

  18. has just found a close female friend has been involved in a serious road accident this evening and is in emergency surgery. If anyone wants to argue with staff for the next few days, it is suggested you look elsewhere.

    1. L4byr1nth

      L4byr1nth

      Thoughts are with you Dan.

       

      Ben.

    2. Chrissyg

      Chrissyg

      Dan, that's terrible news, thoughts are with you and her family.

    3. Marlowe

      Marlowe

      Thanks. She's finally out of hospital on crutches after a lot of surgery. She's scarred for life but she can at least still walk. Cheers for all of the sypathy. :)

  19. is hitting Fireball with Team Arnies in lieu of a Morning After game this year - if you're going also look for the losers who think they're in the Nam.

    1. Bando
    2. StarMonkee

      StarMonkee

      Yeah look for Dan and crew as I don't own Nam gear *dons shades* :P

  20. I have done it. I've put the RPK and all its bits on sale. End of an era. :(

    1. renegadecow

      renegadecow

      So what's coming after?

    2. Marlowe

      Marlowe

      Nothing. :( I'm slowly downsizing my soviet kit down to a bare minimum, and I have pretty much all of the nam kit I need. :)

  21. Apologies for spamming the forum in advance. Just keen to tackle the 'you don't promote MA enough' criticism. :D

    1. StarMonkee
    2. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      Dude, you spammed it plenty for the last one, no criticisms here. It's your joint, cook us all some nice spam on toast but do it EpicMealTime style, that's what I say.

  22. M29 is now MA ready: chronoing at 315 on H134A! Looking forward to shooting people in the *albartroth* with it again! :D

    1. DarkMM

      DarkMM

      Another M29? How long should I wait for this one? ;)

    2. hwagan

      hwagan

      Don't suppose you've got any tips on getting some respectable level of accuracy out of the things?

  23. Facebook spam sorted.

    1. Vice
    2. Marlowe

      Marlowe

      It's Arnie who deserves the thanks, but...thanks!

  24. 16 people signed up for MA, 17th on the way. Going to be epic. :D
