New Forums - Not Just Airsoft Anymore

We just updated the forums software with a new look, theme, and content. It does not soley revolve around Airsoft anymore. Instead we're revolving most topics around Technology in general alongside airsoft/milsim activities. If you're a geek or milsim fanatic (airsoft or paintball) then check us out @ http://www.delta417.com/forum

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.

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.

updates and fixes

I hope everyone had a great and safe 4th of July! I have came through and fixed a few bugs with the new website. If anyone notices anything wrong with the site, send a message through the PR system or post on our forums so we can get it fixed as soon as possible. We’re not having training today due to some members being temp. out of service. On another note, I would love ideas for the website if anyone has any. If you do, send a message through the PR system or on the forums. I’m currently working on a chat system but do not have a solid ETA on it. Once I have more information I will let everyone know what’s going on.

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.
