Lets hear the story of how everyone found AO!

I personally was searching for more info on the micromag and rt when I stumbled upon AO in a google search for micromag rt.

I was searching for an automag owners group and I found this site (Pre-AGD ownership). Then I lost interest in the mag. One day me and my dad were searching ebay for paintball guns and found a micromag. We bought it and I renewed my interest. So i came here and bang here i am today.

I found it when I was getting back into paintball like 2 years ago after a 2 year break. I used to have another screen name before this one.

I was at a pro shop (PEVS@FAIRFAX) and my dad was asking RobAGD there what I could do to my pro carbine to make it better. He wisely steered him to look at an automag, and he told us to go here (although at the time I was annoyed that he was dissing my carbine... I truely believed it was really good :)) and thats how my life was changed

I think I might have found it when I was looking for a used gun... I sold my automag on here couple months later... lol... havent used one since.

I'd like to try an e-mag though... just trying to find that perfect deal.

Who remembers when Mango was UDTSEAL? :)

Oh yeah, I found AO sorta, in its infancy, but i never actually realized the party was in the forum section so i didnt really start lurking till mid 2001.

Sounds like you met up with BlackVCG to me. Steve is in that area of the world and I think has a Blue Emag. Sounds like thats who you ran into. Not only is he a Mod here but a Satellite Factory Tech too. One of the best as that.

When I got my mag it came with this card, and I had questions to ask about how to work my new marker. So I came here once every couple of weeks to ask a question and then eventually I stayed and got into the forum.

I had been playing backyard rec ball with BE talons for 7 years and when I made the choice to step up I started to search for the best marker to compliment me and triped over this place now im waiting on my number for a X-mag to come up

*Raises Hand* I almost forgotten that.

I stumbled across the site back in the day when Andy owned it. I had just traded my '99 Rainmaker for a beat up old mag (good trade on my part) and been here ever since.

Just for kicks I went back and found my first post. It was a FS thread for an old AA Fred Shultz tank. http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9176

Ah memories:D

I traded my 89 Saab 900 for a Classic 68 Automag almost 3 years ago. I was told I should get a new barrel. My cousin told me to look into Boomsticks. I went on pbreview and started reading up on it and asked a mag owner how he liked it. He then pointed me to this direction and I've been hanging around ever since.

Now, I have a ULE'd Emag, a warped RT Mini, and a polished, bling'd out RT Mag. Oh how times change...for the better! :)

conned wouldn't be the word I'd pick but sure why not..

I wanted to learn more about my mag so I searched and came up with this site. The first night I posted, manike replied to my post and we had a lengthy conversation on a thread which has now been deleted. I never DID get welcomed to AO..where's the love, people?? :p

I then "conned" Havoc_online to join a few days later.

09-17-2003, 02:12 PM
Happy belated welcome to AO then! Come to think of it, I never got welcomed either. :p

I've been here since Andy was posting... my guess is that I did a search for 'automag' or something, I forgot how I found it. I think I've been on AO in one form or another for 5 years.

Was doing research on what gun to get next, think I was directed here from WARPIG actually. Not 100% sure. Lurked quite awhile before signing up.

I had been out paintball for about 3 years (bought a new house and got married). Finally, the budget allowed for some recreation. So, I was trying to find the new things in the sport when I found the warp feed. I went to AGD's website to find out more about it and found the link to AO.

I'd like to add that AO rocks!

in 1999, I got into paintball. So I naturally started to read forums, and AO happen to be one of them. I just read for the longest time. then in 2001 I joined. Ive been a loafer ever since then.

I had a mag for about a year and a half. Then I sold it after it got stolen and returned, then I bought an Impulse which i sold in 2 months(POS). Then I never had any thing for another year, then just this august I bought an autococker. I wanted a mag so bad, but the store talked me out of it. Im happy with my gun, but Id love a mag still.

Pic of my mag is in my sig. It was sweet

I had been out of paintball for awhile and was a mag player before so when I decided to get back into paintball i went on my search for a mag. Which wasnt an easy 1 in my area. But a guy at a local shop who used to be a mag player was nice enough to direct me here. Havent missed a day and usually spend alot of the night in the chat.

Got back into paintball after 10 years away, found PBN and the guys from AO that frequent PBN showed me the way here. Haven't looked back since. I always wanted a mag (since the OLD days) and began my search here. Thanks AO!
