It can be pretty tough for anyone just getting started with blasters, which is why I think we need to maintain a public forum rather than private discord servers that are not indexed and are hard to find.
What does everyone think about having a dedicated wiki for all the common questions & issues people run into? I know the old forum had some great posts with this sort of stuff, but they were not always easy to find.
Some examples off the top of my head:
How to grow & store gell balls
Battery guide
CO2, GBB, AEG, HPA, Greengas - what does it all mean?
How to maintain a gas blowback pistol.
Top 5 blasters for new players (maybe include a poll?)
etc, etc
I have found a plugin with most of the functionality, so it’s not hard to set up, but we would need some of the gurus to help out with the content.
Great idea. Problem with forums is that the information gets disaggregated over many posts. A wiki would consolidate knowledge around a topic but would have to allow for variations in opinions - e.g AKAs vs Ultra Elites
That should be pretty easy to pull off, if we’ve got dedicated enough writing staff. Just throw in a ‘x vs y’ section so people can get all the arguments and make up their own minds.
I agree. I’ll get started on the backend side of things
Any volunteers to get a couple of basic entries together? They don’t have to be perfect as they will evolve over time, but we need something to get started.
I’m sure I can help out with batteries/charges and basic electrical stuff on the early models, but have very little experience with the modern FCU’s and MOSFET Systems
Have plenty of experience with beginners blasters…. but again, cannot give any details on anything released after the WA Bans in July 2021.
