PbNation.com -- SOLD
The domain PbNation.com has been bought outright by a private purchaser. The week-long negotiations ended last night at approximately 8PM EST for the full transfer of ownership and intellectual property hitherto. All information contained within the PbNation databases, server hardware and software will be transfered to the new ownership party sometime this week.


On behalf of the staff here at PbNation I would like to thank all of the members for being so supportive of our mission since this website's introduction. We will surely miss you.



More details will be posted as we get and finalize them...

If they sold it, maybe, it wouldn't be slow all the time. :rolleyes:

They are all immature people that think they know everything about anything over there. At least you can get a descent answer here, though it might be laced with threats to use the search feature. :)

Actually myself along with many other AO members moonlight to pbn too, including "jack and coke" and "manike." So before you say "they are all immature people that think they know everything" you might want to say something along the lines of "many of them.....";)

Actually alot of the mods over on PBN, know what they are talking about, so do alot of the members. Lets take this for example, I am always cruising the "Bob Long" section, alot of the mods never anser the tech questions, its mostly ansered by members, such as PaintballPark187.

Too subtle, people won't get it. What if they have "show users sigs" turned off?

I really can't stand PBNation, it's overpopulated with lamebrain morons, who drown out the intelligent posters over there.

I've checked out pbnation a few times, and I don't know if the people there are knowlegdable or not, but they seem so catty, so ready to cut someone down or point out trivial mistatements. Not a place I like to frequent. I hate when they migrate over here.

Not only are some AO members there, but there are some regulars from the Tinker's Guild that frequent there. Also, it depends on what forum you visit. It seems that if you hang out in certain forums, you can USUALLY get an intelligent response to any question you have. I usually only visit the ICD and Tribal forums, and they're good. The BE forums are bombarded by flamers from other forums, so I don't go in there. I also get more accurate info on 'Cockers here and on the Tinker's Guild than on the 'Cocker forum there (it's the same with the Angel forum).
