Tom,
Thank you for your contributions to the world of paintball.
You may have retired but that shouldn't keep you from playing.
It's 2007.......time to dust off your Sydarms! Lock and load!

Wow, I stopped playing in the summer of 2004 and will resume playing again this spring if not before---but wow, I missed this. For all this time, I thought Tom Kaye was still in charge. Suffice it to say that this is a very late 'good-bye'--I still want to say it to a man that has meant so much to the sport. You have dramatically impacted my trust and loyalty to a paintball company. I still have the same Automag I've owned since I was an 11th grade high school student (I am currently a senior in Graduate school). I've only added to my AGD collection of paintball markers--an RT Pro ULE custom and now an E-MAG that will be here shortly. I really appreciate everything you did for the sport and would like to thank you for the loyalty you instilled in me. It's a shame that you had to leave, but I know that loyal customers like myself will keep this company going. Good luck with all your new adventures!
Best regards,
AaronLvL 10 E-MAG::::D::::D:::D Check It Ref!

I know I'm late on this, but maybe it will assist in making a point. I'm just now getting into the mag scene, having been in paintball for over 7 years, but you can rest assured I knew who Tom Kaye was before my recent interest spawned. In the world of paintball, the entire generation that grew up knowing Tom Kaye is going to have to die off before you'll be an unknown. The people at AO may know you well, but the rest of the paintball realm has undoubtedly felt your wake. From the WGP forums on PBR, to barrel reviews, to all the research you've done in and for the industry, you've left a mark in every facet of paintball that won't be washed off just because you're no longer the president.Originally posted by AGD
If you show up at a field, people may not know your face, but if they're serious about paintball, they'll know your name.
Don't be a stranger; to us you never will.Comment

I am so upset, I wasn't into paintball when this was posted. My first marker was a classic, I still have it.. All I own is AGD markers, and Tom kaye is Literally my hero.. I started out in this sport only 4 years ago, as a noob who didn't know much. I had a buddy who's been playing for 15ish years. When I first started out, he told me "Get an Automag, Tom Kaye is the smartest man in paintball". So I did. After a while I got right into Paintball, and started buying other markers, I've tryed them all, Tippmann, Spyder, Tiberius, Cockers, Bob longs, Ego's etc.. Nothing shoots like an automag.. I've sold all my other markers and now only own AGD..
What upsets me the most, is that Tom is honestly my Hero. I do not like famous people generally and TV pisses me off, But Tom is everything that I idolize. I have so many of his markers, I want so bad to send him one (or atleast a triggerframe from one) and get it signed. But it looks as if that's not possible.. Does he even play anymore, I would fly down where ever when ever just to shake his hand and get an autograph, is this even possible anymore?
The last mag I built, I named "Tom Kaye's mustache" and it rocks..
So I guess other than sniveling and whining about how I didn't get into the sport till it was to late, or how I idolize Tom. The point of this post is to see, how, if it is at all possible, Do I get an autograph from Tom? Could I just Ship him said marker or trigger frame? Could I still play a game with him? What's the deal?Comment

You can get an authentic TK autographed photo from Big Evil's for sale thread below and at the same time help out a great charity by buying one.Originally posted by Tym

Not to long ago I organized an Autograph signing with Tom here on AO, he signed like 70 autographs I had sent him took a picture of it called it the sweat shop, it was awesome! My suggestion to you is to not be shy, Tom has a website with his email go email him and tell him how you feel don't be shy, 90% chance he will sign it, he is really a great person to correspond with as far as all that fan stuff goes!Originally posted by TymYeah, I'll get one or two.

Yeah, and he actually took the time to look at one of my first (and horribly drawn since it was done in a study hall period) marker designs. I can't remember exactly how it worked, but he basically told me what i expected and feared. Then i talked to him again about interviewing him for a project. He really is a great guy.Originally posted by AutomagsamIl n'y a point de sots si incommodes que ceux qui ont de l'esprit.Comment
