Ahhhhh yeahhhh....

[Stay Frosty]

I am ordering this gun tonight...
www.airsplat.com/Items/ER-SRC-0506-T91.htm
Does anyone know what type of battery connector it has?

[Legionnaire]

My guess is it has a small type tamiya. G&P's are the only airsoft company that come with Deans as the standard (to my knowledge).

[Stay Frosty]

Good!
It was just ordered it

[Knief]

You know Stay Frosty, this is the kind of basic question that you could probably just Google. Or better yet, you could email Airsplat and ask them what they recommend. This forum is for sharing information, but it's not for spoon feeding you easy answers that you could find yourself with a few minutes of searching or through an easy email to the retailer you're ordering from. Please spend a little more time working on finding your own answers before posting a question like this in the future.

[Stay Frosty]

Sorry about that Knief, Airsplat closes at 4 (pacific time) which is 7 o'clock here...
Also, I tried a google search, but, it did not give me any answers to what I was looking for!

[M.S.-ARC]

Again I give you the same advice I gave you last time:

I've noticed that the majority of your recent posts have been questions. There's absolutely nothing wrong with asking questions and most of the people here on MIA are happy to help someone who is trying to learn more about our sport.

With that said though, it is very annoying when we see that a person isn't making much effort on their own to seek out the answers to their questions. Without paying much attention, I would bet that your karma has been going down steadily and if you're wondering why, its probably because of the past few threads you've started.

Here are some steps that I want to suggest to you which should hopefully save you from looking like a total n00b.

First off, when you have a question about anything, do a google search and look through at least the first 5 pages. Chances are, your question has already been asked and answered somewhere else. I highly doubt that you are the first one to have these questions.

After you have done a search on google, if you haven't found what you are looking for, then do a search here on MIA. There is a search function at the top of the page.

If you still haven't found the answer then go ahead and post.

Also here's a few questions you should ask yourself before posting a new thread:

1: Would other people be interested in this thread?
2: Have I already searched and searched for the answer?
3: Is this thread a personal preference thing?

Let me explain that last question. If you are going to ask about what people think a certain item will look (personal preference), you should probably just not post it because every person has a different opinion. One person will love it and another person will completely hate it. Really when it comes to those things, just ask yourself if you like it and if you do then get it. If not then don't and save us from having to read yet another thread about it. Hope this helps.

Right now based on your posts, you have won the title "worst poster on MIA". You should make an effort to lose that title.

Thank you for the advice, but, I already completed those steps before I posted. I googled "SRC T91 Airsoft Electric Gun AEG Rifle tamiya adapter", KWC T91 tamiya adapter" I also went on Ask and searched for it and Yahoo answers as well. The other 2 questions, the one about "Would other people be interested in this topic?" Well, what if I showed MiA that link and others thought it was a good deal and decided to buy one if it had the correct size tamiya adapter. For the last question, yes, the thread is a personal preference. I have a question and I seek answers one way or another.

I don't care about titles or karma, give me "Worst Poster on MiA" title and I will count it as an achievement. Give me -9999999 karma and I will laugh.

Thanks for the concerns,
Frosty

Frosty,

the issue that people have with your posts is that they

a) have nebulous or vague titles, "M16?" and "Ahhhhh yeahhhh...." or "rail question" are not exactly descriptive.

b) You post links to guns and ask "should I get it?"

People on this forum are more than happy to share their experience and advice with you, but they also expect that you'll put a little thought into your posts and do some research. People on MiA aren't here to hold your hand and lead you to every answer.

Aside from using Google and Yahoo Answers (a pretty terrible source in all honesty), you should also be searching on ASR, ASF and Arnie's at the very least.

Moreover, the response you just gave to M.S. Arc, who was very civil and laid out an excellent evaluation of your issues, highlights that you "just don't get it." You can make excuses all you want and say, "well, I did this" or "I did that," but until people start seeing an improvement in your posting style and general attitude they are going to continue to treat you as a nuisance.

Sorry, but that is just the way it is. If you want to be treated seriously and not talked down to then make a change and start thinking seriously before making a serious post.

Thank you for the insight Gimpalong, however with the M16 thread, I asked if it would be a good starter M16 for me to build up. Who would know better then MiA?

Edidted.

rarebreedz, don't double post. Use the edit button. I just saw this thread said "new" again and I looked at it for a second time and it was you again. That's why there's an edit button.

[Knief]

rarebreedz,

We don't allow sales posting outside of the commerce section, and especially not such a shameless plug. Come on man, peddle your gear in the commerce section or PM the guy. Posting it here isn't acceptable. Furthermore, double posting is against the rules as well. There was no reason to separate your message into two posts. Please don't do stuff like this in the future.

Stay Frosty,

Keep in mind that this isn't an anonymous community like most other online message boards. We all meet up on a pretty regular basis. So while you may see being thought of as the worst poster on MiA as a bit of a novelty when you don't know anybody, you're not going to feel that way when you show up to a game and everybody still thinks of you as a smacktard. Before we all can meet each other at a game, all we have to make an impression on one another is this board. If you act like an idiot on the board, people can only assume that you actually are an idiot, and that's how they'll treat you when they do meet you. If you want to know how far it's gone, I've gotten messages here and on facebook that amount to, "can you just ban Stay Frosty already?" And who can blame them when this is all you've shown them.

As for your M16 thread, you're absolutely right that MiA is a great place to start your research. And lucky for all of us, we have 10 years of archives of wonderful posts from some of the most knowledgeable people in the state. It would damn near criminal to ignore that resource when you're looking for information. Yet, that's exactly what you did. Instead of using the search function or manually combing through the AEG section, you just posted a thread. Yeah it's easier, but it's also lazy. This thread isn't any different. Instead of asking the people who you know know the answer to your question (a simple email to Airsplat), you asked here because you're too impatient to wait an extra day to place your order.

[Terminal Commuter]

Just trying to help someone out, I edited my posts and withdrew my offer.

[Stay Frosty]

Makes sense to me Knief, will do!

[cqbjunkie]

I ordered this gun as well, I found it has a small type tamiya connector.
