AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
OMG, well now i dont know if i should feel evil or lucky that i just got a SP marker (used, they didnt profit) anyway, im concidering having it sent to my good friend teh lazer engraver to have anti-SP stuff put on it

So if you more Xmags, we can still get the Emag right?

My guess is that if SP has something to do with this the Emag will also be on the chopping block as it uses the same frame as the Xmag. I wouldn't be suprised if AGD is halting production to see what the SP problem would do for them as they aren't exactly a huge company. SP has done what is best for them and by doing so they are getting money. It's obvious that if they are winning cases that they have a good strong case. Even the average joe lawyer can see the difference between good and bad cases. I personally would wait for a official notice from AGD before jumping to conclusions.
I'm thinking its just supply and demand and basic economics for AGD and not related to SP at the moment.
AGDE could never keep up with the supply for X-Mag bodies and holds the body patent. So AGD wasn't making as much as it could from its own flagship high end marker. Hows those warp modules coming for all you on the list.
Also notice Nicads signature since the Karta came out?

Could be warp Sluggo with unfinished rail combo for more milling options or a different modular body without a rail. The SFLs had integrated bodies and breeches, so I don't know what is covered by AGDE with X-Mags patent.
I'm guessing the X-Mag wasn't as profitable and frustrating at the same time not being able to meet demand, and a new body will become the current flagship or possible dropdown body options in buying a new emag. I wouldn't expect a new electro gripframe anytime soon, but bodies with warp or verticle and factory ACE as an option might be the ticket.
/speculation
What I dont understand is why AGD decided to suddenly stop making anything electronic just because of the threat of SP. I've heard that they have proto electronic frames lying around for regular mags that they had planned on releasing but they might not due to SP. I may be blind, but I dont see other companies halting there electronic markers because of the threat to SP. Did WDP not release the angel 4 because of SP's threat? no. Why should AGD?
