  1. It only goes up in specific areas, Saxon. This is one of those topics where the golden rule of 'searching first, posting second' comes to mind...
  2. It does work very well, and gets in a lot of information in a very small space, so good work for that... But I have to say I would prefer to see the News page rather than the portal. Aesthetically I just find it a lot more inviting and welcoming than the portal, which is great for getting across a lot of information fast, but feels a bit like I'm under bombardment. Is it possible to have the option of choosing somehow? If this is going to be a lot of work, then for get I said anything though.
  3. We have that already. It's called the Arnie's IRC channel...
  4. Sounds like a great idea. I suggest we also make it mandatory that we have to be as elitist as possible, insist on the use of the word 'magazine' over 'clip', and appoint one individual to actively join up and antagonise other UK airsofting channels, on the grounds that they need us to show them why they're so inferior... This list could go on all day.
  5. Sorry guys, but I'm going to have to be the trademark miserable git and question why we're discussing ownership of objects that are potentially illegal in the UK(I think it's 3 inch or longer blades... bit rusty on the legislation), when the moderators (including you Enzo, forshame ) have all on maintaining airsoft limits within that interpreted legal limit of 328fps... But then I'm a re-enactor who still has an (admittedly pathetic now) collection of foils, crappy alloy blade katanas, and an amusingly sharp indian cavalry sabre. So I won't.
  6. I have to say, good work Zinger. I found the article quite informative, not being particularly adept in the fields of mathematics or physics myself, and I have been wondering what realistic changes I would see in using .25s....
  7. It's back again...

  8. Many thanks for your input Viscount. It's nice to hear the opinion of someone from within the legal profession on this subject, especially when placed within the context of past court cases. I think everyone appears to be singing from the same hymn sheet here, but in somewhat differing degrees of volume. No-one here (from my interpretation of what has been said so far, at least) appears to be attempting to justify or support the sales of Airsoft weapons on these or any other forums to what current legislation has classed under-age individuals. The main issue as far as I'm concerned
  9. A valid point. I look forward to seeing this thread on ASCUK, Zen/Paddy...
  10. Quite how you managed that I can't comprehend. Just in case you clicked on the wrong person, it comes up with the person's name and avatar again... It's a good idea though, if it can be implemented. If we have to have Ebay-esque reputation systems, Ebay-esque options ot change feedback you've left someone would be nice...
  11. I'll probably get hung drawn and quartered for this, but as I've stated before, I'm in support of increasing legislation regarding airguns, and would support licenses being necessary for 16+. I'm 23 in a fortnight, so I can't say it really bothers me either way if this law is passed, but I feel that the maturity of the person rather than the age is more of an issue here, and that making mandatory licensing for 16+ would allow the continued use of rifles for those of a mature enough level to get a license, as from experience idiots that are going to abuse an airgun aren't going to be the
  12. A little off-topic I guess, so apologies for this... If you could get get fabric patches advertising Arnies Airsoft with the user's Forum Name on it, I'd definitely get one...
  13. Agreed, if you're wanting to use AK mags, just get the blasted AK. You won't look like such an Armalite looking numpty that way, either...
  14. I'm sorry to say, but it appears we have a similiar issue occurring again: [14:12:20] •››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››› ››››› ››› ›› ›› ›› › › [14:12:20] ::: Now talking in: (#sd##) [14:12:20] •››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››› ››››› ››› ›› ›› ›› › › [14:12:20] ::: Users: (2), Ops: (1/50%), Halfops: (0/0%), Voiced: (0/0%), Regs: (1/50%) [14:12:20] ::: Join synced in: (0) secs [14:12:20] •››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››› ››››› ››› ›› ›› ›› › › [14:12:27] * joeking27 (~chatzilla@0-a-e6-4a-de-eb.hb.esol.dur.ac.uk) has joined #sd## [14:12:52
  15. As already stated in the IRC channel but repeated here, the website's seemingly run by people with a questionable interested in asserting that most sites are illegal, to say the least. The site's run by a consultancy firm who specialise in advising organisations on how their sites can better meet the needs of those with a disability, in the wake of the DDA (disability discrimination act for those who don't have to deal with it on a regular basis in their work). Now...let's see...Why could they possibly want to portray as many sites as possible as 'illegal' and scaremonger by puttin
  16. As much as I love moaning, I have to say that I appreciate the job the moderators area doing in this regard. Especially Crazy Harry, who appears to agree with some of the views of some threads which I have, and has had the sense to lock at least two which were getting a little nasty... Keep it up!
  17. Nope, I think when I was born, someone rolled a 2 on the d20...
  18. Hehe, fair enough. I had no belief that either would be removed, as I appreciate that a lot of effort has gone into their implementation. However, I've never been one to not express my opinions...
  19. Tee hee, I'm a half-op. I think that's a like a half-orc, only less hairy (sorry, reference for all you pen and paper fans there)...
  20. Can I make a request? - Remove the postcount system. - Remove the reputation system PERIOD, and return back to just the good / bad trades thread approach. (*Edit* Main reason for this is that I've got loads of feedback, which is great, and for which I am truly grateful, as it shows people don't think I'm a complete fruitcage, but I then feel guilty and that I'll antagonise people if I don't do the same back, and so feel honour-bound to return the favour. The reputation system was a nice idea, but it's not really ever going to work, as it'll just become another method o
  21. I find it just as annoying as you guys, and somewhat pitiful for the poor souls who appear to sincerely believe that someone might donate, rather than those who inserted links for comedy value such as Sledge and Jow. However, from experience if they're banned outright they'll only crop up again sooner or later. What about having one legitimate thread for people to post such ###### in?
  22. My mistake. I'll shut up now...
  23. I think Marcus said he'd prefer not to dish out Ops to persons other than himself and Arnie, which is fair enough, really. As a result this thread's a bit pointless, now....
  24. It was him, but now he's left. I've now taken over that and #iceking, and set them to invite only + secret. Hopefully it might bug him a little when he next tries it...
  25. I'm the first to admit I know nothing about IRC bots and the like, but on the IRC server at the moment we have a channel with 28 odd botts in, which randomly paste things. Player alerted me to it and it does indeed seem a tad odd... Here's an excerpt complete with an IP of one of the bots (which appears to be fake...).
