evilrobotshane Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'm just getting back into airsoft after some years away, and am new to the British scene. I'd visited for a couple of TA Events' games before and am hoping stuff like that still goes on, but the Events forum here hasn't got much recent. Do these milsim-type events still go on, and if so, where do people find out about them? Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner168 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Forums are not the best place these days, there's more info on Facebook. The link below is to a popular UK Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1056851067708222/ Link to post Share on other sites
evilrobotshane Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Thanks, but eww; I'll drink the milk, Hannibal, but I ain't gettin' on no Facebook. Don't people make websites anymore? Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 8-{> Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Thanks, but eww; I'll drink the milk, Hannibal, but I ain't gettin' on no Facebook. Don't people make websites anymore?Forums and websites are struggling against the behemoth of FB. The site I play at's forum is almost unused. Arnies is quieter, even in the short time I have been using it. FB, very sadly, is where it's at (barring sales which are now banned on FB). FB is horrible to use as a forum replacement but I fear there isnt much of an option. Link to post Share on other sites

ForkTailedDevil Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Personally found a lot of people below 30 can barely figure out how to use a forum, post photos etc. When FB banned gun sales there was a temporary upsurge in forum usage but that dropped off when Prefired etc became available. People of a certain age expect the internet to be very simple and don't want a 100 page thread or have to input a link to a photo hosting site. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 I do not understand how people are OK with using FB predominantly. It's completely inappropriate for it due to it's fluid nature and bizzare update ordering. You see something on your feed one morning, you go to find it in the evening and then nothing. A bunch of updates during the next day, you update and it 'updates' you with a random post you were looking for the previous day. Trying to use that system for searching through sales would wind me up in no time. Link to post Share on other sites
evilrobotshane Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 So where's the market for airsoft stuff these days then? I have a thing I want to unload to fund a thing. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Zero In is what you need. Once you have a 100 posts on here, you can use the sales forum here. Link to post Share on other sites
evilrobotshane Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Gosh, that's lively over there. Cheers, I'll have a poke about! And thanks Got Wood for the milsim organisers; looks like great stuff, although nothing up-and-coming on their websites. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Also War Zone, Combat Airsoft Group and Hit-Takers to look up (maybe, probably.. not really my scene). Link to post Share on other sites
evilrobotshane Posted June 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Excellent, cheers! Link to post Share on other sites
Vortix Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Also War Zone, Combat Airsoft Group and Hit-Takers to look up (maybe, probably.. not really my scene). Sadly, CAG is no more (last I heard). Link to post Share on other sites
