Forums are generally good for 3 things:
1. Exchange of information: I’d rate that experience at about 80-90% on here; most people were helpful but a few had to throw in the snarky remarks. Welcome newbies.
2. Buying and selling: I need to travel and verify my age with someone I have never met who is probably half my age anyway? Really? Other firearms forums allow trading based on trust, honesty and making your own diligence checks, at least for non-RPAL. You know – like the way airsoft games are supposedly played, remember? And just coming back to my original question in this post, you can’t tell me where to buy from yet there is rolling advertising banner at the top right of the page that links to retailers? Is that irony, double standards or just ignorance?
3. Fun: Yes, well… Through other forums I have made a lot of friends, gained range memberships and been invited to ranges by people I chatted with just to try out their handguns I said I was interested in. For some time I was considering dropping by an action airsoft place I know of but I think on balance I will pass, I’m not going to be missing out on anything with this community.

So anyway, thanks to those who were civil and helped answer questions but I will take the option to leave. I will head over to my profile and try and delete it but just in case I can’t figure it out, perhaps one of the mods could ban me anyway and save me the trouble. I shouldn’t worry too much about your AV rules and whatever else helping to uphold things and keep the police at bay. I don’t think they are going to close down your sport, it is clear you will take care of that yourselves.
Good luck.

"Other forums are so much nicer than here! WAAAA"

If you're gonna go, just go. You don't need to do a mic drop of sorts. Just be a man and go. Plenty kids like you stop by and complain about the system with the "I don't like it so it's dumb" argument. In reality it's a 20 minute conversation. The amount of time it basically takes to have a coffee and have a short chat with someone. Let's be honest, we play airsoft, none of us is too important to take a bit of time out of a day and go through the process so stop pretending like it's the most annoying thing ever.

Good luck to yourself, you're going to need it if you're this arrogant. Now go home and get your fuckin shinebox

lol

I see you're familiar with being banned for your online conduct, etc.

Thank you for your vapid and inane post. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
