I've got a theory why they are closing it. Nowt to do with "when the hosting ends" and more to do with the VCR Act.

I know Tim (minimiman) quite well. I've also been passed quite a few PM's that went between him and Beaker. Put it this way, what Beaker was saying in public was *not* what he was saying via PM. Given that most people join the forum for the second-hand sales side of it, and that the USUCK head shed know they aint gonna get a secure second hand forum, they are closing the whole damn lot, as they fear a "loss of influence" due to losing second-hand sales.

It's about ego. Pure and simple ego.

Final thought....

Is it just me that gets a mental image of Beaker and Fluffy as the two mice from the Pinky and the Brain cartoons?

What goes around, comes around. They'll get their comeuppance sometime.....................

Time to book in for a game at SYA and fit the M170 spring in the '42 :twisted:

There was a load of shit when Ken Elston was Chair of UKASGB. No matter what you think about the UKASGB and Ken's communication, there's absolutely no doubting that his heart was in the right place.

They basically used the forums to discredit him and hang him up to dry then banned his access so he couldn't defend himself!

The man's a 65 year old former Scout leader FFS, he wouldn't hurt a fly!

I also think the very fact that resources like AI, and the various airsoft bodies that now exist have come about despite their continued attempts to discredit anyone and everyone who has stood up to try and organise some sort of resistance to the Governmental raping of civil liberties, has finally made them realise that sitting behind a keyboard in your bedroom at your mum's house does not give you the ability to control the world.

Whilst I'm at it can I also highlight the user called 'Dude'.

He flamed me on a thread once, massively, calling me all sorts of names.

Then he came to Fireball and I introduced myself. Oh dear, I've never seen such a change in character. All smiles and jokes.

Thats Dude.. he's a nice guy in person... I mean that really... but on the forums something just kind of flips inside him!

I've met Beaker several times and also found him to be a nice guy in person.

Any truth in what I was told a while back - Fluffy and Comega are in the porn web site business?

I've absolutely no time for people like that.

It's keyboard heroism of the worst grade. It's like putting your hands over your eyes and thinking no-one can see you.

keyboard heros, the dearth of all forums . I'm sure if you met them they would all be nice in the flesh , it's a pity they had little self control on their own forums .

This sort of crap from Fluffy sums it up for me .

Now they are fucked and have to make do with the scraps the other sites don't want The flea ridden piss stained tramps.

IMHO, Fluffy is even worse that Beaker. What's that quote in reference to Guy?

Morden comes across as an intelligent, verbose, though sometimes misguided, authority on the forums.

In reality I've found him to be an immensely nerdy, stuttering, knuckle-dragging fuckwit devoid of any form of wit, tactical knowledge or social skill.

hate purge over

I've know Morden for years. He used to be alright, but being made a Mod on USUCK has turned him into a class 1 cretin IMHO.

Yup, I've met Dude in the flesh as well. He also met a mate of mine, who just happens to resemble a walking Tiger tank. When Dude realised it was someone that he'd taken a great amount of time to slag off online, the look on his face was priceless. Very much "Oh f**k, im about to get a kicking!".

Yup, Sam (Comega) used to host dodgy websites, made a lot of cash out of it. Maserati's aint cheap....

Fluffy, i've no idea. Beaker is a rozzer (bet he's Traffic Div. with his attitude)

Exactly the same look I got, and I'm not a tank by any stretch of the imagination.

What was nice was that Ken at Fireball had a very polite quiet word with him about his online attitude over a nice cup of tea and a biscuit. Dude looked most uncomfortable for the duration.

There's always been a pattern on USUCK. Stick your head above the parapet, try to do something for the good of Airsoft, and the Humourless Overlords stick their oar in.

Ken, Minimiman, John Clancy - all doing something for the good of the average Airsofter, and all hated by Beaker, Fluffy, et al.

Not just humourless overlords; egotistical power-hungry Napoleon-complexed cock sneezes.

Guy: ACAB?

You're obviously from the right side of the tracks mate. Often found tatooed across the knuckles of neanderthals .
