hi there

Would like to propose we start a forum on military. Stuffs like military hardware, armed conflicts, weapon technology, wars and battles etc. if it's had not already been started.

Browse through a similar to forum like http://www.sgforums.com/forums/1164 and

TQ.

good idea. i would like to know where to buy used military equipment

thats a good one..I 2nd that..

for discussing this kind of things
http://forum.lowyat.net/HobbiesCollectiblesandModelKits

since those seeking the used equipment is for collection purposes
it a good start from there

as for discussion
eh-well
theres kopitiam section

if there is to high volume of the same thing
then a new sub-forum might be feasible

i think it's already asked and Admin/Staff said... NO, why?

i don't know, but something to do with there will be immature posts as well as like...

eh, where you get this? where usually you play and so on...

Sorry, this is a definite no.

I don't think it's possible to have a dedicated Military subforum given the general theme of our forum. What we could make instead though is a sort of "General Special Interest" (does that make sense?) subforum for these types of discussions. Something like what the Hobbies section is about, but I guess this is for more esoteric interests..

what about just General Interest sub-forum
at least that sound not too stretched out

maybe like the hobbies discussion, and things that doesnt fit any other place

Just a suggestion as many of us might be interested in REAL machines and stuffs like that.

Hobbies and Collectibles are a different kind of things as they are miniature representative of the REAL thing.

As for those looking for sales of used military equipment maybe can look in the Garage Sales thread or Ebay.

I figure we are now not solely concentrating on IT stuffs, might as well give it a shot.

There are no local forums as heavily participated as LYN.

Hmmm
I don't know bout you
but compared to other forums where they just have so many subforum, like a gaming forum or hp forum
they have a gazillion segregation, like 2mega pixel phone, walkman phone, and such, though it maybe the same
but then the infomation is sort of diluted

i think if the military theme can supports itself
it will surely evolve in the future that beckons upgrade

in the mean time
it is better to make do with what's around to gather some steam
so-in-so to better warrant a new sub-forum

I think this the best comprise one can come to plus it would serve more than one purpose and thus satisfy more than just military/militaria enthusiasts.

Although i would like somewhere besides /k/ to post about my legendary exploding pistol with it's unsupported chamber

Its best if you can gather enough support as in the recent Stock Exchange sub forum creation.
--> http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=535715&hl=stock

Practically for the new sub forum, not only were there lots of topic on stocks, there was also lots of supporters for it.
Just an idea

**cough** glock .40**cough** handgrenade **cough**

Should be noted, 90% of the people wanting a military subforum, have no idea what an unsupported chamber is, can't tell the difference between a bolt and a bolt carrier and will tell you 7.62x39 > 5.56 cause it's bigger.

latwr alqeada come up here how..LYN become part of CIA work..
u guys use ur brain abit la..

definitely NO bcoz u cant get the real firearms in msia unless u smuggle it thru kongsi gelap illegally i wont b responsible if u gotcha ass busted

You don't need to be in possession of an item to talk about it, in the same way you don't need to be as good at football as Pele to talk about Pele playing football.

Also legal firearm ownership in Malaysia is possible, it's just rediculously hard to obtain the license and you can legally obtain firearms through licensed dealers/importers in Malaysia.

I agreed!.
We can talk about Military History,strategy,great battle and such.
From history we can learn ..Isnt that what we suppose to do here?? learn? instead of thrash talk and spam..

so i say...Yes..please do it boss,bro..

battle of the Bulge..here I come.! ehhehe

Ya.....we can learn history from all those military conflicts.....not necessary to brag about anyone's shooting skills.....or who has the biggest cannon......
