| You guys have all just turned into trolls and jerks towards new members it's a wonder why this site is dying.
With the exception of a few people like David, Sticks, and M14; the rest of you guys need to straighten you attitude up.
In fact there have been almost zero airsoft related posts, but there have been tons of posts in the lounge thread. Why should we even have this forum in the first place if all you guys want to do is talk about gay marriage (no politics??) or troll on some poor kid who is just getting into airsoft and said "airsoft war."
I am not trying to instigate an argument from all members, I'm just saying that I'm leaving and giving my reasons.
I may lurk the forum from time to time, but unless you guys straighten up and get a grip, I'm off for good.

| Wrong david, it has been the same with every newcomer, they say something silly, and then the forum members pounce on him, I wish I didn't have to go. | |

If someone is sorely misrepresenting airsoft in a public manner (ie: on a blog), something must be said about it (no?). I told him what was wrong with his publication, it may have come out as a jab to the eyes, but when pieces of legislation like SB798 start popping up, NOW is the time to get rough when you need to make a point. It's better to give them that slap the new kid right away than to let them continue with ignorance and make "you guys" look bad (it's not me, I'm not and "airsofter" anymore...I just enjoy the culture and stick around). I'm currently studying for EMT-B certification and just don't have time/money that I can put into the game...but I would love for the game to still exist (in a legal form) when I "get back". Forgive me, I have attachment issues True, there have been almost no airsoft-related posts in recent weeks...all I can say to that is "don't look at me!"...I'm not playing anymore, but I stick around because I did play for quite a while and have some insight on certain airsoft-related topics that have not quite come up lately (ie: radio usage, team administration, etc). As far as political threads - it's widely accepted that the lounge is fair-game as long as the topic is not deemed offensive...and gay marriage was a topic I thought would bring formulated, civilized responses (which it did!). I understand your frustration, though I frankly don't understand why most us have stuck around at all in the last 6 months. Cheers! | |

Cheers! Well would you straight out beat your kids over misbehaving? or would you warn them first? hmmmm.... @_@ I wasn't attacking your thread like that, it's fine by me, what I was really trying to get at is that almost every thread for the past 3-5 months (if even that...) has been in the lounge, hardly any airsoft threads etc. | |

| Geez, just when I remember about this forum (which I thought was the bomb when I started posting) everyone is abandoning it... what's happening to airsoft and all the comradeship, guys? i mean, I'm not a driving force by a longshot, but I thought that having fun and being nice to people was part of the sport, and since this is a airsoft forum, your just helping give a bad name to the sport. -Accordion Kid | |

| Yeah, also if we had some more moderators cleaning things up (i.e. unfriendly posts) then this site would be great. | |

| Dude I don't know where you've been, this forum has been dead for a long time now... I left to search for greener pastures a while back but no other forums satisfied me, so now I'm just lurkin' until some form of this "SHTF" deal pops up. As far as I'm concerned, AA has been screwed since the admins and mods first starting becoming inactive. It was bound to happen...when the admins leave, things turn to chaos pretty quickly. I'm honestly surprised this website's hosting is still being paid for. | |
