Yeah there's so many people on that forum that I'm sure the TommyGunner name has been used.

Wow that is shocking dude you are the most reenactor friendly guy I know. Your home is here anyways. I shouldn't bother to sign up all it would cause is arguments and me getting banned.

no definitely sign up. dont jump ship (or not get on it at all) because of people getting kicked or banned. its a great forum with more information than almost anywhere out there. I got banned for 2 weeks just due to letting my mouth run (im 15 it happens a lot). As for gordak, they were probably intimidated by his godly presence and cult of ww2aa members.

TommyGunner I will look for you on there. I spend lots of time on that forum and I did not know they were so strict. Guess I will make sure and think about what I say before I act upon it. But yeah I highly recommend them, I think everyone on this forum should frequent that one. Yes Sir! Nimlas

Yea they are very strict indeed. Not a very good atmosphere at all. I left before they could ban me.

I love it there! A little anti-airsoft, but you have to expect that. Give it time, they'll accept it. Great place to research or just ask questions. Very friendly people, when approached well.

I dont understand why everyone says they are strict? just dont argue and keep things civil...until now the only person I knew that was banned was hector (not posting his last name)

yes guys dont take them for being too strict. they run a proboard about ten times larger than this one so bans are a lot more frequent. it's a great source to learn about ww2 impressions, history, ect. it goes hand in hand with the ww2aa forum and is very in depth.

Yeah, just don't mention your a WW2 airsofter because then they'll think your a little kid who wants to play soldier and shoot up the field.

what are you talking about, they have an airsoft section!
I like it there, I've never had an experience where they have been so strict as to ban for no reason. They can be fast to act though.

I also do not see any problem there, if you act cool and don't do anything wrong, you will fit in just fine. I don't think they are anti airsoft, but a lot of them are turned off by the fact that a lot of the community are children. And usually guys don't want to trust total stranger children with firearms. I also see a lot of defensiveness being thrown out when they diss airsoft, and instead of which people should try to educate them, not say things like "ah, just don't mention your a WW2 airsofter because then they'll think your a little kid who wants to play soldier and shoot up the field." That's the exact reason some think that, because of ignorant comments. That's just my opinion on the whole deal here.

Yeah I suppose your right, I just read a post on there somewhere that was quite rude to airsofters, but they do have a small airsoft section. I'll be more careful about what I say Mauser.

My suggestion is that if you do join that forum PLEASE carry yourself in an adult, mature manner. I receive a lot of PM's on that board asking why "airsoft kids" are posting at a WWII Reenactor forum.
They think we're all children overthere. Yes they have an airsoft section but it is continually mocked by certain members. So be polite, MATURE, and hopefully we'll gain some respect there.
So please don't post "Cool I'm sufring the web on my Nintendo Wii" there. ;D

pff, you know it's cool. Nothing named Wii could ever be cool. If I want to surf the web I have my PC. If I want to play baseball, foorball, tennis, or golf...I'll do it for real outside. Not sitting on a couch getting fat in my living room. ;D
