They want to be told use x barrel with y bucking and z bb brand and you will hit 100m when in actual fact every gun is different. To be fair, that sort of thing was present on forums too. Not *this* forum, thanks to the moderating team, but certainly less well-run forums. It seems facebook is rife with spoon-feeding requests. Likely because people can easily report your page if their feelings get hurt by the moderating staff. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dominique.g Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 i have been gone for a couple of years too, and i was quite surprised to see this place this deserted, do you guys know what happened to the more iconic persons here does candyman still build custom airsoft rifles? did dobey ever come back after he had that customer that wasn't satisfied with his build? is renegade cow still building in pvc or did he eventually upgrade to aluminium whatever happened to that ridiculous kid that came up with those crappy builds (you know that one that glued a box the the slide of his handgun to replicate some anime pistol? is stealthbomber still around, and what about punkypink? did the crimson falcon come to this forum after airsoftretreat closed down, anyone knows what bb he was using after bioval stopped the production of their BBBMAX?

shmook Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Not seen stealthbomber or punky pink on here for years. The crappy build kid was called typewriter I think. They disappeared too, but I do recall the name popping up again, but I'm not sure if that was a different account with a similar username. Renegade cow is still here, and uses anything to build with. Usually magic and unicorn dust. Not seen candyman for years either, and don't remember dobey or crimson falcon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gisburn20 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I remember Stealthbomber and Punkypink, wow that takes me back, Candymans builds were amazing but I fear he's long gone, Dobey made me a few really well engineered parts back in the day, a silencer adapter for my Ruger mk1 and an M14 scope rail that replaced the rear sight.I have a feeling that Dobey became a youtuber possibly under the name caferacing? Not certain though as it was at least 5 years ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Was one of those forums the one that stoked the forums rivalry with the whole Teletubbie redirect thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Schnakey Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I don't remember anything teletubbies related. My memory is a bit up the creek at the moment though! There was certainly some rivalry back then. One do the things we did used to do in the Airsoft IRC channel was change out names to the nsync guys and hit up the fan chatrooms...

Colin_The+Ferret Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I think there was idiocy on both sides, but that was many years ago. I do remember when some users (who shall remain anonymous) decided to raid the ARRSE forums and got very badly pwned. That is the reason for the stern warning in the photos section.

Theoretically a block booking in a hotel or an airbnb etc would do, but schlepping gear to and fro on busses sounds far less interesting than beer and burgers around a campfire... Though if we can find a couple of sites near each other, one running Saturday one on Sunday lodgings between the two might make for a decent long weekend of pew-pew glug-glug nom-nom... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair, but there is plenty of room on the site to set up tents and such. I can ask and see, worst they can say is no! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reilly Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Surely after Brexit it will be just like importing from Asia etc... get em to slap the UKARA number on the packaging, gg. If Brexit happens... *shrug* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Rentals/loaners are probably the best option for anyone coming in from outside the UK anyway, the law on importing RIFs applies to anything crossing the border already, so nothing brexit related (unless we have a revolution and scrap the vcra...) will change it.
