Arnie Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Here's a random one for you folks. I've managed to get archive and old copies of some websites that have long since gone offline and no longer exist. I was going to create an airsoft-archive to preserve pages that have long since gone. Are there any websites you can think of you'd like to se included? I have permission and donated content from more than a few people and other's I've discovered in the archives. Thye would be preserved on an "as is" basis for historical purposes in a separate directory on here. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Only a couple of days ago I was looking to see if there was a working mirror of justpistols.co.uk anywhere. I feel it was a valuable resource and it would be a shame if it was lost. I was able to use waybackmachine but it would be nice if there was a proper, speedy clone with photos etc. Also, I can't access the archived articles, reviews and projects here. Is that on the list to sort? Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 justpistols - already got a copy The archived stuff here is on th elist too, I have some links that will work as the old php code I wrote is like... er... ten years old and won't work. I have a complete archive of PracticalAirsoft from Roger to stick up after recoding all of the asp into html. Also Chairsoft and airsoftplayers. Been chatting to Andy of GunWorx (which started a lot of this) and have devconairsoft as well. Intend to see if I can get hold of a couple of the originators as they disappeare dwith their websites sadly. Link to post Share on other sites

Rob15 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Justpistols was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the topic title, it's always interesting to see what came before all the current available guns. Classic Airsoft forums would be an interesting one, especially since hoses are cool again now Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you so much, I second the classicairsoft.net, there was soooo much info. Is GunWorx the same as the way old Gremlin Gunworx? Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Mechbox? Might not be up with the modern tech, but it was always valuable. (Although the videos are all on youtube now I think) Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 mechbox.com was a good resource for people looking to understand their aegs too Link to post Share on other sites
