General Off-Topic Discussion / Summer etiquette

« on: July 08, 2013, 04:47:55 PM »

Listen up everybody. Every summer we get a rash of stupid posts and problem users. Typically this is the younger crowd on summer break. However, so far the only people I've seen causing issues are adults old enough to be my dad. I'm not going to name names (you know who you are), but you people need to start acting your fucking age. If you have a problem with somebody either take it to PM's or take it offline. This calling people out at every opportunity and giving people shit because they have different preferences then you is going to stop or you can find some other forum.

In case you aren't clear on what I'm talking about.... If what they are suggesting isn't illegal/dangerous and they didn't ask for your opinion, I don't fucking care what your opinion is on it. I don't care if you don't like meme's, pictures, bronies, swearing, or Vanguard. If it's not illegal/dangerous, keep your mouth shut. If you feel it's just so incredibly stupid that something has to be done, use that handy report post button and leave it at that. I have better things to do then come on here and delete threads because people can't act like adults.

Airsoft Items FOR SALE / Closet cleaning sale (Tanaka, Army Code, Classic Army, ICOM, and More)

« on: March 17, 2013, 06:49:05 PM »

I've got a few more items for sale. The ONLY trade I am interested in is for a G&G Sig 550. No one under 18. Can meet at former Gearbox location, Vanguard, or anywhere in between evenings after 7p or weekends.

5. 2x KWC Sigma SW40F - $100 for everything

The two tone one is an original V1 model and the black one is an early V2. These still have the two piece triggers rather than the solid 1 piece triggers the newer ones have. These were also pre-FPS reduction models. Shoot roughly 450fps at room temperature with the Co2 mags, although I've chrono'd them as high as 520fps in the summer after sitting the trunk for 30 minutes. I've also used them in snow games and they functioned perfectly. They chrono about 350fps with the Green Gas mags. There's a total of 2 green gas mags and 8 Co2 mags. The black gun's slide is badly marred on the right side, I'd recommend either repainting it or sanding the whole slide. The green gas mag in the two tone needs a new fill valve. Mags MAY need new seals.

12. Tanaka M700, several available, Pre and Post ban, PM for pricing
16. Boxes of ICS M4 parts, PM for details
20. KWA M93R parts gun with two mags - $40
22. Rico Alpha 9 V2, one mounting screw is broken, still seems to mount secure - $50
23. Rico Alpha 9 LED, like new - $80

Dealers/Techs / How do I post here and how does it work?

« on: November 28, 2012, 10:01:14 PM »

Send me a PM detailing what goods/services you offer. As long as you can show you are a dealer (meaning have a wholesaler account somewhere), manufacturer (meaning you are selling custom goods) or an established tech, you will be granted access to this board. Only members of the above categories can post in this section. Regular members can only read the posts in this section, not reply. This allows you to post you goods without it getting lost in the clutter. In addition, the normal 1 week bump rule doesn't apply (within reason).

I performed some upgrades tonight which have temporarily wiped out some features. It's being worked on, no need to send me a message about it unless you are actually getting an error message somewhere.

Thanks.

Site Suggestions / Life on AirsoftArizona

« on: November 27, 2012, 08:25:43 PM »

Alright, listen up people. I'm getting an ever increasing number of complaints (PM's, emails, I've even gotten fucking phone calls) from people about other people and how they feel slighted, yada yada yada, not to mention threads I've seen that made me want to punch the person making the posts. I initially chalked it up to the normal summer build up but it hasn't let up and summer is long gone. AirsoftArizona has always been pretty relaxed on how people behave but some people are taking it too far, doing it far too often, and doing it in completely inappropriate threads. I'm not going to make everybody hold hands and sing kumbaya but am I going to start making some people behave. First off, lets start with some tips/pointers.

Younger crowd (meaning primarily under 18): If you join these forums and immediately start talking about how much you know about SpecialOps, the military, etc, and your entire family are green berets, etc, you WILL get ridiculed. Period. You've managed to annoy the majority of the forum in a single post. I'll stop it if I feel it gets out of hand but you brought it on yourself. I know you were probably raised to think you aren't responsible for anything but that's not the way I roll. If you want to be treated with respect, treat others with respect and don't start demanding it. You don't demand respect, you earn it. I get that you want to start a team, more power to you. But there's a good number of people on this forum who have and/or are serving in our armed forces who feel you are disrespecting them by trying to start your airsoft "SpecOps" team. You aren't going to convince people you are awesome by telling them how awesome you think you are. You are just going to make them think you are a douche bag. Lastly, if you go off on a profanity laced rage fest you will be taking a vacation from the forums.

Vet crowd (meaning longer term members of the forum): These days I'm seeing some of you behave worse than the children, including some of you old enough to be MY dad. Act your fucking age. Knowing how kids are raised these days, I'm willing to cut them a little more slack since some of them honestly probably don't know better. However, I know that's not the case with you. Yes, occasionally somebody will say something that simply needs to be ridiculed a bit. There's a limit to that in general but when that's the majority of your posting, you need to stop posting.

Teams: I'm a very competitive person myself, and I get team loyalty. But when your team "loyalty" turns into open unprovoked attacks on other teams/players, that's unacceptable. I don't care that they've insulted your honor or whatever they've done in the past. Either resolve it by PM or keep it to yourself. Once again, act your fucking age. In addition on the forums, your team affiliation doesn't mean shit to me. You will be treated the same way as anybody else, regardless of your affiliation. If someone slights a member of your team, that does not give your entire team free reign to retaliate. Some of you have basically adopted a gang mentality when it comes to your team and it needs to stop.

With all that said, people need to grow a thicker skin. I've been getting complaints about the slightest possible insult. When I read the post in question and I'm not even sure they are trying to insult you but you are complaining to me, you need to get over it. In addition, most of the time, you probably had it coming. As you can tell by my language, I'm not asking you to keep things PG rated or saying you can't say anything negative.

What does this all mean? Unless what you posted was WAY out of line, you'll get a warning and points against your account. If your account reaches a certain number of points, it will automatically be temporarily banned. Those points do go away over time automatically. However, when I (and any other admin/moderator) look at your account, I can immediately see a list of your past warnings. Some people on here have already received half a dozen warnings for doing the same thing. When you get a temp ban, it will tell you why you were banned when you try to log in. If your behavior continues after a temp ban, you will be permanently banned. I know a lot of you think you are smart and know ways around a ban. I've been doing this a long time and have a pretty reliable gut feeling when it comes to this sort of thing. If I think you created a new account and are continuing the behavior on a new account, I'll ban a new account no questions asked.

Lastly, if you are going to send me a butt hurt email/PM because you think this is directed at you personally, save yourself the time and don't bother. I have a full time job and when I am getting emails while at work because I have to get on here and play babysitter it puts me in a cranky mood.

Site Suggestions / Why was I banned?

« on: November 10, 2012, 09:58:01 AM »

Since this comes up on a fairly regular basis, I decided maybe I could reduce the number of PM's by trying to give an explanation. Permanent bans are not something we do terribly often. You either had to really cross a line or continue to do something after repeated warnings to stop. Temporary bans are more common. I personally use those to try to get somebodies attention, a slap on the wrist if you will. However in both cases when I am issuing the ban, I give a reason why and that reason will appear to you when you try to log in. In most situations I think you can figure out what you did that earned you the ban.

However, occasionally you will try to log in and get a message that you were banned that either doesn't have a reason or you don't recall doing anything matching the reason. This is the result of an IP ban. For those unfamiliar with how IP addresses work, I will explain. Every device connected to the internet has an IP address. In most cases, that IP address is assigned by your service provider. In most cases however, that IP address isn't dedicated or static. Meaning that IP address doesn't always stay the same and it's not only used by you. IP addresses on land line connections don't change terribly often. IP addresses on cell phones change much more often. If you get a ban notification that you are pretty confident you didn't earn, then you've probably been assigned an IP address that has been banned. You have three options in this case.

1. Call your service provider and ask if you can been assigned a new IP address.
2. Wait for your IP address to change. On a phone, this should only take a couple of days at most.
3. Use a different connection.

Hopefully that answers some questions.

Other items for sale... / XavierMace's Summer Electronics Clean Out

« on: August 07, 2012, 01:05:25 AM »

How do you know you are a geek. When you clean your closet and find computers you forgot you had.

Pictures and more items will be up tomorrow.

The rules.
For anything under $100, you come to me in Mesa. I'm available weeknights after 7p or weekends with advanced notice. I'm not going to drive anywhere to sell $20 worth of stuff. Prices are flexible to some extent, some items more than others. If you are buying one or more of the higher dollar items, I'm willing to cut you a deal. Over $100, I'm willing to arrange a reasonable meeting place (Anthem or Tucson is not reasonable). Any questions will be handled via PM, I'm not going to start some massive text message conversation. The 3 complete systems all power on, have fresh OS installs, and I'll be happy to demo for you. Everything else is sold with no guarantee's. It worked the last time I used it but in some cases, that was 5 years ago or more. Items have no physical damage unless noted. If you want to bring the necessary equipment to test it, I'll be happy to provide you with an outlet, keyboard, mouse, and monitor to test with. If you don't want to bring the equipment to test it, I'm not tearing apart a functional system to test it for you. If you have any questions, please ask them BEFORE showing up.

NO TRADES OF ANY KIND.

Airsoft Equipment Specials / ICS Parts Order

« on: January 30, 2012, 10:54:46 AM »

Alright, I've had a few people contact me recently about some ICS replacement parts and I need a few as well, so it looks like it's time to do an order. Reply or PM me with what part numbers you need (either from the manual or ICS website) and I'll get back to you with prices as soon as possible. No complete guns, parts only. I'll update the below list as more parts are requested. I'm looking to place the order mid-Feb. ICS will be shipping the parts roughly however they feel like it so I can't really guarantee a shipping time. Once they arrive parts can either be picked up at my place in Mesa or we can meet at Gearbox on the weekend. Prices do not include shipping, but ICS normally just ships via postal so shipping should be pretty cheap. I won't have a shipping quote until I have a full parts list however.

This isn't being done because it's cheap, it's being done because there's no other way to get these parts. If the part you want is carried by any of the major retailers, it will be cheaper if you get it from them.

M4 Parts -
MA-09 Hopup Set $17
MA-23 Bolt catch $7
MA-51 Selector Assy $12

L85 Parts -
ML-08 Switch Set $20
ML-18 Motor Cage $8
ML-26 Front Body Pin $3
ML-27 Rear Body Pin $3

General Airsoft Discussion / Echo1 booted from Shot Show

« on: January 19, 2012, 07:25:23 PM »

Looks like Cybergun's tired of dicking around with them. Echo1 was handed a court summons and their booth was shut down today. Rumor is Cybergun has filed two lawsuits against them (with FN Herstal). No details beyond that, but Echo1 has removed their Scar's (ASC) from their website.
