SniperNinja Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hey everyone, I just created a new airsoft forum at customairsoft.proboards.com. I literally just created it today. I am sorry for the main page that is all neon, once you log in it goes away. Please visit, join, and sign in. I'm sorry mods if this is against the rules, to my knowledge it isnt. And I believe this is the right section, since this is news. Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 What's your forum for? Link to post Share on other sites
SniperNinja Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Almost the same as arnies. Just anything airsoft. Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 So why would I (or whoever) want to go there instead of here? Don't mean to sound negative but there's about a thousand airsoft forums, most of them overrun by children and full of misinformation. What does your offer that the others don't?

SniperNinja Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 My forum is much more strict than others. Here is an example of the rules- Official rules: 1. No advertising unless you contact me first. 2. No cursing, swearing, or profanity of any kind. 3. Nothing inapropriate. Keep it PG. 4. No off topic, unless posted in off topic section. 5. No "Which gun" questions unless you have narrowed it down to two guns. 6. No selling, except for under the "BST" section. 7. No rank posting. Use the modify button. 8. No necro posting. If the thread is over 1 month old, do not post in it unless the info you are providing is very useful. This rule does not apply to stickied threads. 9. Have fun! And all offenses will be harshly dealt with. I am targeting the much more mature crowd. These are just the first version of the rules as well. I am just trying to get the word out about my new forum.

airsoftg36c Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Oh wow, those ARE strict rules. Good luck with that Is there going to be an age limit also? Link to post Share on other sites

Not trying to be a douche, but that sounds EXACTLY like ASF. And we all know how that forum turned out. Link to post Share on other sites
SniperNinja Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 To the post above the last, was that sarcasm? And no, but there will be a maturity limit. And to the post directly above me, I know, but I am going to enforce it, which they don't. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew March Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Advertising another forum on an existing forum has always irked me. Can't see that you are offering anything out of the ordinary, I will stay here I think. Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Pretty sure those rules are enforced on another(hundred or so) forum(s), by the way in relation to number 1, did you contact Arnie or Marlowe? Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Yeah I really dont' see anything special about this new one. You're offering a direct competition with Arnies with no added benefit except I have to go register there and if I'm really lucky, it might look prettier. Link to post Share on other sites
SniperNinja Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I did contact the "news fairy" and it is in the site news now. I am just trying to get the word out about my new forum. If I can get it larger, it would be a better alternative to ASF. Just one question: how? Link to post Share on other sites
RWJP Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 a better alternative to ASF We already have one of those... It's called Arnie's Airsoft... As much as i'd like to be positive about your idea, I can't. You're trying to enter a market that is already dominated by a number of massive popular forums, and you have nothing different to offer, no unique selling point if you'll pardon the marketing term.

verticalflyer Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I appreciate the effort, but it looks poor and has nothing interesting or unique to attract me or anyone else to it. To be honest, close it down mate Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention advertising this here is in incredibly poor taste and says a lot about you. That being said, send $50 to my PayPal account I will join today. Seriously, why bother?

SniperNinja Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Since you all want me to, how do I close/ delete this thread? Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 let a mod do it for you. It'd be a mercy. Link to post Share on other sites
