Has anyone been able to log on to TOS lately? I won't mention it because I'm sure it'd get this thread locked. If anyone has some info please PM me. Thanks.

It would appear any mention of M4C tends to lock down a thread. I believe this is the third day for me that I couldn't get on. I cleared out my cache and cookies today in case that was it. Still a no go. Good to hear some folks may have been on a couple days ago as this is the first time I've tried in a month.

No, I hadn't tried in a while till I just saw your post. Wonder what is going on as well.

I find it funny that the other site's name does not reflect the elitist preferences that most of its userbase seems to have when it comes to AR15s. They almost universally dislike the M4 barrel profile.

Last time I said the whole name, I got my post edited by TBK1 and scolded saying we don't name other sites that are openly hostile to this one.

I hear that if you say the whole name three times real fast, that all the previously banned arf trolls get unlocked.

I wonder if it's that reddit internet commando hacking the site again.

For those who don't know, someone over there posted a link to a reddit page detailing some guys $3,000+ $2100 Del Ton build. A few called it like they saw it, and told the guy he should've bought something better for that amount of money. The reddit user got all butthurt and DDOS'd the site.

ETA: Correct ridiculous cost of shitty build.

I don't know which is funnier - his build or him getting butthurt and taking it out on them.

C4iGrant got banned from here and started up TOS with some other folk as a technical resource. I can't recall if he was banned here for the same reason at GT but I wanna say it was for advertising outside of the appropriate forum. I remember following that mess. I was one of the first to sign up over there after it all went down.

Yeah, happened Aug 17 or 18th. Site staff over there said the site was hacked, and the reddit user was boasting about taking down TOS in his reddit comment thread.

Meh, that's not too bad. The accessories ran up the total and I have the same ones on my BCM build. They can all be moved to other builds so it's not like it's a sunk cost. I really don't see anything wrong with the build. I bet I have $1,500 in mine and I've put a few thousand rounds through it as well. I'm not all tier -3 though.

Correct.  C4iGrant attempted that against his fanboys.  After he was banned a few of them followed him to his site.  Now he guides discussions to the stuff he peddles and, of course, they are too gullible to see through it.  

He was banned from here for scummy behavior and we do not allow links or discussion of him or his site.  What goes around comes around and all that.
