Phoenix Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I'm American, so I was wondering what makes me and others come here to post and get airsoft news. For me its the much more laid back atmosphere, humor (or humour) I also enjoy the lack of overbearing Conservative bs found on most US airsoft sites. Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Could it not be because it's a good site for getting info and chatting to people from all over the world? Link to post Share on other sites
Plymouth Roadrunner Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Its the only good site on the net the US ones suck. Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Could it not be because it's a good site for getting info and chatting to people from all over the world? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yea that too but mostly the humour. Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Because unfortunately most of the better members of the US sites are the equivialnt of Dafool, and the mods yelled at me when i tried to show them the light. Link to post Share on other sites
outlaw Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 There are a lot of people over here that think airsoft qualifies them for military service. And will start week long flame wars if you swap the word mag for clip. This place is loose cool and i also come here for the news. Link to post Share on other sites

R22Master Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Glad you like it here I've spoken to people who frequent other UK sites and they don't like having US visitors. They seem to think that it dilutes the UK atmosphere or something. I say that it improves diversity, gives us all a different view on Airsofting matters, provides an international community, and gives us poor old UK Airsofters visibility of products that just aren't available on our fair isle. Personally I like having visitors here from around the world, and I hope you enjoy having us Brits to chat to. Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 All the US sites suck. AirsoftRetreat is run by fools who don't care about their forums. AirsoftPlayers moves too slow ClassicAirsoft...well, I post there too, haha. Link to post Share on other sites
SpiKe64 Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 mostly having a diverse site allows for everyone to learn the slang of other countries some of your guys' slag im really lost on lol but yah if everyone comes to one place then the chances that questions and problems are answerd is greater cuz more people can help rather than just a select few in your own country ya know Link to post Share on other sites
R22Master Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Exactly. Well, on that note, can any of our US visitors tell me what "Bear Claws" are? I have heard them mentioned on a couple of TV programmes (uh, sorry - 'programs' ), and in a Weird Al Yankovic Track. These references seem to be hinting at the fact that they are some sort of food! Is this correct, or are these just spurious references designed to be incorrect??? Inquiring minds want to know Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 lol, only if you tell me what quid is. j/k, i know that. Link to post Share on other sites

Maruta Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 My family's always been keen on the UK, and I like getting an international perspective on the kinds of stuff I'm interested in. Link to post Share on other sites
oikoik Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 nice to hear all these comments - i like arnies international flavour! i dont see many here from the far east though Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 This is the best airsoft site I have ever seen. Plus British people are just cool. Link to post Share on other sites
GaMeFrEAK1018 Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 the fact that ppl here are from the US, UK, or w/e doesnt matter to me, i see every1 the same and just like the general atmosphere. good site, keep up the good work PS: i dont think all US sites suck, Classic Airsoft is very nice, its just that theres alot of immature, young people into airsoft in the US. and theres also the people who take it to far and like some1 said above, have a FIT when people say clip instead of mag and vice versa.

sp00n Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Collect all the lazy newbies and retards of this forum, subtract at least 130 IQ points from each one, and multiply them by at least 900 and youll have the average US forum. This place is pretty tame even at its dumbest points. Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 sp00ns absolutely right. We just have more stupidass kids with access to guns and computers over here. And R22, a bear claw is a freakin Donut! Or pastry...whatever you call them. Usually filled with something, like apple, and shaped like a giant claw.Mmmm.... Link to post Share on other sites
Banzai Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 There is a highschool freshman i know with a SAW, Kar 98, and some Classics i bust my *albatross* at work to barely get an AK from TM Link to post Share on other sites
SpiKe64 Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 MMMMMMMM DONUTS!!!!!! bear claws are good so are apple fritters (i used to call them turtles when i was little cuz they look like a turtle shell lol) but yeah a bear claw is a donut lol and if u dont know what a donut is then we have a problem!!

destrukto Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 The Brits seem to make a lot more sense to me than a lot of American forums. I've been to airsoftretreat once and I'll never go back, airsoft players is good for information (and most of it's American gear and M4s), but not much more than that, and there's really not a whole lot of humor on there either. Arnie's has a good atmosphere, discuss other things besides M4s and American gear, plus I get a global perspective on airsoft, not to mention the people are a little more sensible.

Tripod Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 I read 4 forums: Arnies, Airsoftohio, Russian Combat Gear and Red Alliance. They all share one thing in common: organization. Sometimes I read Classic Airsoft and SoCal Airsoft. SoCal Airsoft gives me a headache though, and I don't play with them although I live in SoCal sorta. Link to post Share on other sites
Vincent Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Well, as it have been said, ArniesAirsoft just is _the_ best airsoft site around at this time. Im from Finland, and we also have about 4 airsoft news site, but arnie beats them like 10 -0, coz arnie updates the site all the time and the forums are very active. The second best site there is to airsoft, is airsoftrecon, they offer very good reviews and news of maruis, new releases and so on. Link to post Share on other sites
