Ok, you may already know this kids, but a veritable Airsoft Institution is *temporarily*[/i] shutting down as of Wednesday the 12th of April. *well the post said Wednesday, but it has already happend, Airnies Airsoft as we know it is no more See announcement here: -Don't botherwww.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=57435Apparently there are issues related to the AA site that are causing the host many maintanence headaches and he needs to flatten the site to work them out. We hope and pray for a rapid resolution to these issues like we pray for an early opening at Starbucks before the crowds arrive! Good luck to all involved in that effort- Arines will certainly be missed!

I used to go there for news, but he never actually updated the news in about 3 months. He did have a nice forum.
Is there another place to go for news?

When he was considering switching host servers I tried to tell him about a company in HK that actually has physical servers and tech support in the US and it would have cost him a fraction of what he said was his budget as well as offer high bandwidth. I sent him 2 PM's on it .. he never even bother to reply. Oh, well ....
Airsoft UK I understand is the other forum.
His site was under DoS attack today.

I think most realized the proverbial writing was on the wall for Arnie's after he ceased updating the website and then turned it over to "others" to run in abstentia. As you say, it will be missed.
Update: It's back up, as of 12:45pm EDST, but a shell of it's former self.
