General Airsoft Discussion / Re: Facebook controversy

I think the face book thing is sad, but something that needed to happen. Facebook is still a flawed platform, for all the reasons you guy's give and more.
What we really need to take away from this is the idea that we need to start becoming organized and ready for when we start getting legislated out of existence . That can only happen away from the prying eye's of facebook.
I've been playing since '06, when I came into the sport, i discovered a forum from England called Arnies Airsoft Forum. They actually were able to go through and work with they're government to make sure that they didn't have they're hobby stripped from them. Do some google fu on the UKARA act and airsofting. They tend to they're hobby, and to be fair, they don't use facebook to do it.
I'm embracing this as a sign of the times. We need to be on point when it comes to our sport, hobby, life, and we need to be ready when the time comes, why broadcast it out to the rest of the world. Just because we're in the wild west doesn't mean we're safe.
Just my .02 cents...
