I don't think so, I'll edit this in a min with my final answer.

Their sites down and their phones arn't working either. They might be closing damnit.

WHAT?!

I was there yesterday! How can they be closing?! Warpig is a paintball institution in itself really. Are they having money problems, or are they just tired of maintaining the site?

Crazy..........

Wouldn't surprise me. It's just Bill and his wife that run it, own it, operate it, and fill it with footage they go to tourney's to get themselves....and it is not how they make their living. Love of the sport and its people, has been their motivation all these years.

Paintball has declined somewhat over the last few years, WARPIG may be feeling that.

Don’t everyone go crazy… :)

I just saw that the site was down today and since I haven’t been in the PB scene for a while I wondered if it was gone. If it was up yesterday I bet there’s just a technical problem.

Edit: I just saw the post that the phones were off. That doesn’t bode well.

I personally think its just a tech issue, the Pig has been around way to long to just drop off the face of the map like that, and is but a small part of what Bill and Dawn have built for a business, it will be back when things are fixed I'm sure :)

No closing, just a technical glitch.

Our ISP is doing some work and we expect some more possible short-term downtime over the next couple of days. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Of course it would happen the one week of the year that we take a week's vacation.

Sorry about the phone glitch, it seems the vonage modem got unplugged when we moved a fan - should have forwarded to one of our mobile phones though.

Thanks for the concerns and positive words :-)
