  1. First let me say, if you don't get the title, congratulations, you probably have a life. I'll do my best to warn you when I'm about to ramble on about something like, how much quicker (and with ironically less bloodshed)Frank would have dealt with the Joker than Bruce - its quite obvious and short this time . So yeah, I finally decided to make a blog. Before I'd always kinda assumed that anyone who really wanted my badly thought out misconceived ill-informed opinion would just ask. But my opinion is that anyone who wants my opinion should probably be certified, so it probably wouldn't be
  2. IMO it would work better as an opt in system, not the default, as while the majority of users would know how it worked there would still be a significant number or new users or folk who didn't read the updates (there are still folk who don't know the rep system is gone for instance). If someone's away for a month clearing out their inbox starting from the oldest messages would cause problems too, say for instance person X posts a thread selling an AEG, and person Y pms them an offer, unfortunately X gets stuck working on a boat for 12 weeks when they thought they were only on for 3, and g
  3. It might not be a great idea to have that set as default, since its entirely possible that many members (especially new ones) wouldn't know, combine this with the seemingly recent increase in con artists, and you have some real problems E.G. someone joins, buys something off the forums, doesn't receive it and waits a week or two, we all know what parcelfarce are like, maybe his cheque took a few days to clear etc, or something, then posts asking for help and looks in his inbox for the evidence but the PM with the details in has vanished. Alternatively you could just bin your old mail an
  4. Sounds like a DNS problem, Contact your service provider's help line and inform them of the problem first. A quick fix/test when it happens is use "208.100.20.35" in the address bar in place of "www.arniesairsoft.co.uk" EG the adress bar to this topic would read: 'http://208.100.20.35/forums/index.php?showtopic=118832' you'll probably have to log in again since cookies won't transfer over. If you get arnies to load on the IP its definitely a dns fault. More long term (and less hassle in the long run if it happens frequently and your service provider doesn't fix it) is simply to set
  5. Two ways, off the top of my head Megatron and Soundwave didn't need to Create or destroy Mass to shrink. Tighter Molecular bonds- molecules are like gassey cloud things, that sortof float next to each other, instead of floating next to each other the floated inside each other, taking up less space. They didn't destroy or create mass, they just didn't use all of it all the time, they sent the extra back/forward/sideways in time.
  6. This flap/codpiece. See Polarclaw isn't actually in the movie(at least not that I know of), but that look of shear terror fits nicely.
  7. Clanfalcon brought his to section 8 today- Indeed much more than 260FPs, also MAG plastic midcap mags seemed to fit fine.
  8. Try this list of servers on quakenet Jim , best try the yankee ones first, connect to the servers rather than irc.quakenet.org or type "/server example.quakenet.org"*. Some servers limit the geographic areas that they accept connections from because generally if you try to connect from very far away you get a slow, laggy connection. However the irc.quakenet domain redirects to the first server that returns a ping, which would sorta suggest that you'd have a better connection although not always the case. *The first person to post saying they get time-outs from example.quakenet
  9. The ICS mech will only work properly in an ICS receiver, due to the way the forward assist works, how the stock attaches and the fact its actually very slightly longer than a marui mech (or copy thereof). You can get the same features by fitting a PCG pro-win gearbox, although the gearbox costs $230 and there's a lot of work involved.
  10. Fareast you've taken the wrong bit off dude. Pop the sliding stock off the tube by pulling down on the rocker and take the end off the tube by undoing the screw revealed inside the last notch for the stock, look inside the tube and down the end you'll see a screw. Undo this and the widget that fits inside the gap on the back of the receiver and attaches by the flat head screw comes off the other end, this is the bit you fiddle with to screw a TM style tube on.
  11. Don't worry catman we all know you're a smeghead without looking at your rep.
  12. Okay, Part of the internet magics of IRC doesn't always work, the xombo domain is dependant on the host of xombo's website so connecting to irc.xombo.com doesn't work if the website is out for any reason cos it won't redirect you to the server, irc.arniesairsoft.co.uk points to irc.xombo.com too so any problem you experience connecting to xombo with mIRC or trillian etc will more than likely occur with the java ap as well. However typing "/server 72.20.27.124" in any IRC client should solve this problem, assuming the server is actually running.
  13. If it bugs you that much use firefox with the "adblock plus" plug in.
  14. No it am not but the DNS is. Connect your 3rd party client to 72.20.27.124 or if you use java type "/server 72.20.27.124"
  15. Your rep bar looks different cos its not got the + and - buttons on either side, cos giving yourself rep would just be silly. The warning system is a separate entity, only you and the mods can see your warn record which is why you can't see anyone elses. To give a rep point you click on the box to the side of someone's rep bar with the + on it for a positive rep, and the box with the - for a negative rep. If you don't have + and - buttons something's gone runny in the forums magic.
  16. Its not broke it just ain't workin' like it should atm. Update: apparently there's been a big storm were the xombo website(and its DNS gubbins) was hosted, the irc server is a seperate entity to the website hence its still semi-operational
  17. This is being resolved and alternates are being looked for. Shouldn't be too long before you're back on. Its apparently to stop "proxiers and floodbots"
  18. Turns out there was a snow storm were the IRC server is hosted, everything should be working now.
  19. It was like that when I got here. Honest. Seriously though Xombo's magic IRC tree is down and has been since 8 ish this morning, hopefully they'll have it back up soon if not... we'll cook something up... In the meantime load the java ap as normal and then type in "/server irc.darkmyst.org" to get into the old (empty) room Oh and theres an IRC section on't forums now for when we blow up the server/ when you can't get on or when Ubar hurts your fealings.
  20. And now the questions been genuinely answered I'll genuinely lock the thread so no-one genuinely spam seven shades out of it.
  21. Its when you're not sitting. like rizzo said, you won't be kicked outright for joining, just don't muck about.
  22. Do feed the Mistfit though. Preferably to any passing large carnivores.
  23. Try downloading one of These clients, it could be your install of java is either the wrong flavour or set up wrong on the dell.
  24. Do you have any antivirus or firewall on your Dell other than what came with windows? IE norton, mcafee etc?
