twitter

Started a twitter for the group! Everyone needs to stay current with the forums to make sure you’re not missing anything. I mainly started the Twitter to help get eyes on the website and the name out there. We probably won’t get much but everything counts. We will also be getting an order together fairly soon so every one should keep that in mind. Twitter can be found here.

thursday practice

We’re working to get together on Thursday now that every one has matching schedules. We will be getting together tomorrow to talk about some things and do some basic drills. No ammo needed, but you will still need your gun.

patch contest

If you guys haven’t already checked it out yet, make sure to head to the forums and vote for your favorite patch design! This design is what will be used in the future for our squad/unit patch and will be worn on future uniforms. It will be only for 30 days and then will be closed and the votes will be taken into account. If you forget to vote then that’s your loss! Click hereto go check out the correct patch and put your vote in.

Also if you haven’t already please click here and post your current or future work schedule so we can work out practice times.

switched site backend

Decided to switch the back-end for our main page here over to WordPress. This allows for quick and easy updates (even remotely by phone). I figured I’d do this so if need-be I could allow Officers to create posts on our main page instead of just the forums. You can create a new account here on the site (use the same username as the forums please), but it’s not required to post comments or anything. I’ll probably change the banner soon but I don’t currently have Photoshop installed so it will have to wait a bit.
On another note we haven’t been able to play airsoft lately due to TTech’s awesome scheduling abilities, and the fast that most of you are being switched to new departments. With that said, hopefully none of you are being discouraged or anything. Well be back to shooting each other in the face before you know it! We will be getting the group order back together pretty soon, so make sure to keep checking the forums regularly so you don’t miss that or get kicked off the squad.

site changes

The chat has been giving us issues on all Internet Explorer versions (go figure). I went ahead and took the chat offline for the time being and plan on probably recoding it. This will take some testing and I don’t have much time right now, so it will be a bit before it is back online. Please hang tight and visit the forums for messaging.

Website Online

As a 4th of July gift for everyone, I have finally come up with a website for the team. It’s something quick and simple and is still in its early stages, but as time goes by I will get everything situated. If you notice anything funky with the website just let me know so I can fix it. As of right now, the page is going to be pretty bland. We’re not having training tomorrow, so please take note!

server update

We’ve finally moved the forums and website to a new server! It’s a lot more efficient and loads faster than the old setup. Hope everyone enjoys the new setup! Let me know if you run into any issues, I’ve been messing with some code to get everything just right.
