WaveSeeker Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 So here is a question - will new people here go back to ASCUK or will they give it a miss ? Link to post Share on other sites
Marlowe Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Well, I feel pretty vindicated now stating that I thought ASCUK would rise again under new ownership. Congratulations and best of luck to Aitch and Beaker. Waveseeker: I think the folks will probably be welcome on both forums, so I can't see why people wouldn't want to go back to ASCUK. Hopefully in the brief visit which many have had here it at least might have set right a few of the negative preconceptions that were espoused about folks who frequented here. If not...Guess we never will. Link to post Share on other sites
WaveSeeker Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I will wait to see what the deal is on the new ascuk, I have had alot of unfair preconceptions blown away since being at Arnies, I hope both forums can exist without all the back biting. Link to post Share on other sites

Chimpy Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Some IP ranges were recently banned due to someone who was scamming and kept re-registering and then attempting to hack the site. Link to post Share on other sites
sekiryu Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Anybody else decided on a forum switch? ASR. I switched because the mods are becoming more and more facist...with one exception. But there's one who could play the role of Stalin and all the others are his goonies. It's so relaxed here; there's actually off topic, humor, and real steel discussion. ASR was like, "if it's not airsoft, you're banned". Even the "non-airsoft discussion" section required all topics be related to airsoft. Some of us saw fit to make a different site, ASR Offtopic, and the ASR guys screamed bloody murder with "W3 4RNT 4FFILIATED W/ U!!!shift1!! In short, ASR sucks, Arnie's rules.

GuzziHero Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 ASCUK works for me...so far. Link to post Share on other sites
Bolleh Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Some IP ranges were recently banned due to someone who was scamming and kept re-registering and then attempting to hack the site. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm getting the same error as madwelshman. Does this mean that we have been banned from the ASCUK forums then? If so, is there any chance of an unbanning? Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziHero Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 If your IP has been banned, then the only way to get back is to use a proxy server elsewhere. Some people from Stoke where I like use Manchester's server. Youd need to ask someone else how to change it though. And I wouldnt ask ASCUK through anyone else to unban a proxy server. Theyll be threatened with a ban, like I was. Link to post Share on other sites
Chimpy Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Depends on how you go about it really. Currently the problem is on going so the block on the ranges will remain. Link to post Share on other sites
The Chef Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 This happened to me ages ago (down in cornwall) and was a very sporadic problem, sometimes I could get through, sometime I couldnt. I found that unplugging my modem seemed to be one of the most surefire ways of getting it to reconnect. I have no idea why. something about a non-static IP or MAC address?? some such inane compuspeak or other. Link to post Share on other sites

Chimpy Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 The Chef's solution might work though if you have a dynamically assigned IP. It's sad that the minority of users that cause this to happen also end up ruining it for others. Link to post Share on other sites
Samm Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Nice to see the responsible moderators over at ASCUK keeping the peace and disseminating all the facts by convincing a possibly innocent newbie (and likely a large amount of people reading the newbie discussion area) that he'd broken the law by importing a RIF: http://www.airsoftcommunity.co.uk/forums/i...howtopic=125076 /Edit - whoops, forgot that ASCUK redirects from here links to their site to Barney and friends Will have to be a copy and paste job www.airsoftcommunity.co.uk/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=125076 Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Not sure what your point is. The guy HAS broken the law by importing a RIF without any apparent defence. The thing that I find distasteful is the way the forum staff there claim their only motivation is to ensure the law is upheld and yet they leave the thread open for 4 pages so that people can toss insults and threats around. Personally, I would have thought just closing the thread right away would have been a better solution, along with a PM to the OP advising him of his mistake. And, on that note...
