He just gets on my tits. The latest post in general discussion for example, asking for Jerry posters.

Even the most cursory glance at Google will give lots of results.

I've responded sarcastically.

I'm now awaiting Yith getting all uppity about removing F&O's forum.

WTF is Justin playing at? You can't compete with us? We rule the WW2 Airsoft world!!!! Mwwwaaahahahahahahaaa!!

I presume Justin's 'regulars', chaps with no transport and no kit, have asked about the missing game. Going to be a SISK though. And yes, Yith is bound to start stirring shit...

I've said it before but I'll say it again, while the beach landings was great to get involved in (only wish we had run it, so much could have been better) I do wish I hadn't been instrumental on giving Josh a foothold in the WW2 (sorry, 2WW) genre. :(

Right, first of all, there's definitely a load of anti-CiA stuff going on in the background between Justin and Josh. The publicisation of Justin's game really makes me angry.

I see this as the perfect opportunity to claim a negative campaign by them as well as a pointless and obvious double booking of games in the same month. This was something we discussed with Josh at the beginning of the year.

This is the perfect opportunity to tell Josh that his activities are detrimental to the ethos of CiA's not-for-profit games, as well as trying to support those that arrange games at other, more sensibly spaced, times of the year.

I vote to bin Josh off this forum once and for all.

We can post publicly that because of various conflicts of interest, including the cybersquatting of various CiA fostered phrases and website names, we decided that it was against our general ethos and we decided it was counter-productive to the continuation of WW2 airsoft in general to continue the relationship.

Want it leaked, via a player of course, not one of us, how much Longmoor actually costs for a weekend? (i.e. 30% of what Josh is charging for a weekend.....)

HAHAHAHAHA

He reckons that a load of the SBG are going down for it. Knowing what they're like, i do not think they'll be at all impressed.....

Yes please.

I see this as like the presidential election with CiA the Democratic 'Obama' types and Josh and the McCain-esque Republican. It's time to get dirty.

LMFAO

The retarded one reckons that RAU will be retailing there. Somehow, I think Dickie is going to be a little bit miffed at the lack of sales...

It was a no-brainer with Justin as he deleted the stuff himself and made the section redundant.

However, there is a big risk of appearing arrogant to the punters. The forum is designed to be the hub of the WW2 community where everyone and anyone can go find everything they need. We need all traffic, not just a part of it. After all, CiA is two things really - the 'real' CiA (game organisation) and the 'virtual' CiA (web site and forum).

While Josh is infuriating beyond words sometimes (well, most times) I don't think doing a Beaker/Fluffy is the answer. And to be honest I don't know what is the answer. Josh is leaching off us for sure - how can we leach off him? We have spurned him for Carentan and I suspect his future projects will be much less ambitious (costly to run).

I suspect a political campaign will be to the detriment of everyone - we have a group loyal to CiA/PBI and Josh has a group loyal to him. The WW2 scene is still far too small to be sustainable and fractures can only make it worse. We don't own the WW2 airsoft scene yet I know we feel responsible and protective for what we have created.

I don't know * shakes head *

:idea: Aha, what motivates Josh? Money! Let's take his money - forum space for a fee! :rofl:
