I understand that sarge, as I said, I would LIKE you to be part of it.

Ya know, the theory that when you try to do something nice for people, you always get the bad end of the deal.
I guess the same applies when you are making an attempt to better the airsoft community.
You asked for our opinions, and you got them. Not all the time is everyone going to like what you want, or have to say. Get used to it now thought, its how the world works.

I personally don't see the point of putting a bunch of stuff together for an "ezine". Everything that will go in the ezine can be found here anyway. If someone buys something, we know about it almost immediately. If someone has a question, they go here. The ezine will provide nothing that this board doesn't already do. All you will do is waste your time compiling the stuff.

To say the truth busta, your opinion makes it's way into everything whether it is welcomed or not or if you actually know anything about the topic, or even if you know what you're talking about. I did, however, ask for your opinions, and I got them. Thats fine, I thought it might be a good idea because people ask about the magazines.
Thanks anyways guys, maybe there will be a real magazine from Arizona someday :)

Resorting to personal attacks...so Juevenille...I should have expected it sooner. Look you asked for Opinions, you got them, simple as that. Don't piss and moan because they weren't the ones you wanted.

Busta, really this doesn't need to be a flame war, but someone needed to tell you that. I wasn't attacking you, I was telling the truth, and I'm sure theres others that would agree. The concept is, I don't really care whether this goes through, I just was bored and thought I could take out two birds with one stone, by benefitting AA and sustaining my attention. If I had an opinion I wanted to hear, I wouldn't ask for them. Thats just ignorent.

We could compile a list of names of those who are irresponsable with them and set a level, like mild, medium, and serious in the ezine, and we could also send these names to airsoft shops so these items can't be sold to them. I think they did that in Ohio if I remeber correctly.


One of the stupidest things I've ever heard

There are others that already agree and have said what you say, maybe you should read the forums a little more. But just because you are pissed that no one wants your Ezine doesn't mean you have to get so pissed... Chill out, does it REALLY matter?

Busta, I think you're getting the wrong idea, i'm not mad or upset about anything, If I was, I'd come out and say it. What do you mean by the first sentence? It doesn't make any sense.

Andyhinds,
Well, it worked in Ohio, thought it'd be worth a try.

Well busta, Wraith was kind of correct in his assessment of your "Opinion Injections".  But that's not the point here.

Let's not turn this into another topic ruined by bustas nastiness, fellas!

The point here is that you had an idea, asked for our opinion, and we gave it to you.  When you didn't agree with our opinion (?), you decided to give yours in contrast.  We don't agree there should be an ezine, plain and simple.  If you decide to make one, I will support you, but not by contributing.  I do enough of that on the forums.

I understand you are excited about airsoft and AA, but maybe you could spend that energy toward planning games, and getting some props together.  

Because when it all comes down to it, AA is nothing without the games!  What you see here is NOT AA.  Half of the players at games these days haven't even paid their AA fees!  Being a forum member is fine, but the purpose of this forum is to spread knowledge and info about upcoming games.  The gear topics, and everything else should be secondary to that!  

I really don't like to see these forums so populated, then plan a game and have no more than 15 people there.  If you aren't a player, and don't come to games, why even post?

Andyhinds, firehead, studdermonkey are all there come game day - where are the rest of you?

Well, once I get my gear together, I should be going once a month, hence the distance.

It was a rhetorical question, but since you answered, let me ask another.

If you aren't attending games as of lately, and will only be able to once a month once you get your gear (which means right now you are just a kid with an airsoft gun), what makes you think anyone would want to read your ezine?  You are not an active player, and for all I know I've never met you.  Now you want to publish info for us AA regulars?  You might want to re-evaluate your agenda.

Just some stuff to think about, no response required.

That was not my intention sarge, thats why I wanted everyone to help out, write articles and what not, news about whats going on. It was suppost to be a group project.

I know it wasn't needed, but I felt it should be cleared up.

Roger that, bro.

I think we should all add a bit more to the forums.  More reviews, more games, more pics!
