Hello from Peterborough ish
3 March, 2013, 21:40
Hi everyone, I'm from Peterborough-ish, primarily play at Urban Assault and FFZ these days. I've been playing since about 2006, and used to be a member of the old UKAN forums back in the day. I am looking to get to more events this year and will be travelling further afield to games, as previously I only played very rarely due to not having many local mates to do it with. Now with a good few friends involved, going further afield is possible.
I was told this forum is a good friendly place, with a good classifieds, and a very knowledgeable user base, so I hope I can be a good part of it and give back as much as I get.

Generally. Beware of the extreme levels of sarcasm, bitchiness, trolling (less now that Purcys been banned again, long story) and the iron fisted moderation.

Debatable, whilst its probably one of the more active classifieds its got its fair share of p!ss takers with regards to the valuing of second hand items and recently there was some issues with scammers. Its a case of buyer beware.

Aye this is true but be prepared for almost every question to be answered with 'TM am bestest'.

Re: Hello from Peterborough ish
I miss Fineshade. I've only been to the site that's in the old quarry (Not Grafton... so the other one), it was nothing special. I enjoyed the days airsoft but I think that was mostly due to being back with the guys so for me Close action is more social than gaming and if I'm honest I prefer cqb/fibua to woodland sites.

Re: Hello from Peterborough ish
I used to enjoy Fineshade nearly as much as the urban stuff I'm into now, it had a good mix of terrain. Do you know any decent urban sites round this part of the country?

Re: Hello from Peterborough ish
Last year I did a lot of game days @ F&O The Embassy in Leicester. I've only had 2 bad days there, although I do prefer the days when its not fully packed out.

Re: Hello from Peterborough ish
Welcome, I agree with the answers already given so I won't bother.
Only tip.... Don't put links to any airsoft selling establishment as the iron fists will give you some points.

Iron fisted? If he's a veteran of UKAN he'll think we're a bunch of tree hugging hippies here!

Re: Hello from Peterborough ish
I never really thought the UKAN was particularly bad for tough moderation, So you guys must be easy going!
I can understand not letting people discuss other retailers on here, since they host the forums and all. I imagine getting a big sodomising for that.

Yeah, UKAN wasn't too bad, ASCUK however...
And you'd be surprised just how many people
can't
understand the fact they can't discuss other retailers

Also don't answer anyone's post on the "lost Souls" section unless you are actually searching someone yourself or have 100% iron clad info to help them....
Got battered last week by the "mod squad" for apparently spamming when I was actually trying to help.... Beware they are watching us all!!!!
