Going to "AP" IS going through another site, if you were already at Airsoftreview.net, you have bypassed the "middle man".

Best regards :D

This, to me, is really annoying. It's one thing for the pictures to be on another site, it's another to do a scavenger hunt to a site I never visit to get access to media. It seems like a ploy to get more hits on a site that doesn't get a lot of traffic on its own. Sorry, that's how I feel about it. If someone thinks that's "not supportive," then I guess they can tell me about it.

It might be annoying, but it's like the economy. You may hate mcdonalds, but you don't have to go there at night when you're hungry and too lazy to go home and cook broccoli.

Airsoftreview put the effort and money into this event and hosted it. They found someone to take pictures, and if you want the pictures, you have to ask airsoftreview. The pictures you took of the event are yours to do w ith as you'd like.

That took a whopping 1 minute of my life to access... really, there are other things in life that are much more meaningful to stand up for. This debate is absolutely ludicrous...

Thank you Fred for taking pics! It was a lot of work running up and down those hills enduring the sun, dust and bugs.

We Beats did look pretty snazzy!... although looking at the pics I realize horizontal stripes make me look fat(ter).

Juicemachine and Android... we going to continue the tradition in 'Manicotti 2, The Bardurians Strike Back'?

That's fine (and the McDonald's analogy is spot on), but I still think it's still unnecessary and annoying. It is the dangling carrot to entice users to register an account on AR.net so that site gets more traffic. I even looked for the password without logging in and I couldn't find it - although I suppose I might have overlooked it. It just seems desperate, and I don't like being suckered into it.

Click this link for a free XBox. No wait, ha HA! Now take this survey. Now THIS survey. Only 102 more surveys for your FREE XBOX!

Maybe I'm reading into it too much or making more of a big deal about it than it deserves, but you're giving me reason to continue replying with my opinion, so... well, yeah.

If it is to help promote a the host of thee event and friends, I have no problem with it.
If it's for someone I don't know and care about, that's a different story.

don't spoil it!

I got a mouth full of fur. But yesterday Ezmo called me and said she was pregnant, so now I'm going to have to bring the abortion/adoption thread back.
