      I know a kid at my field who wants a proto matrix or something like that, but anyway he said he's saving up like 1200 for a new gun, hopper, and tank, which after the hopper and tank it's still like 900-1000, which i find ridiculous when you can get markers that are just as good for a fraction of the price.

        Yes, people that would have supported them before are now doubting them.

        I said it hurt their integrity, and only to some people and to others it did pretty much nothing. I really don't see the point of your post.

        Blood from a turnip. Gotta have integrity to hurt it, and I doubt anyone has bought anything from SP lately based on integrity.

            just because the "fight" is hard dosn't mean people should just quit. I can be okay with knowing that I probably didn't teach anyone anything or that no one noticed the problems. I tried my best and at least I tried.

            If we don't even try we will never accomplish anything.

              Its not about hard... its about pointless.

              SP markets to the tournament paintball crowd (at least mostly).

              When is the last time integrity has been a commanding influence on what this crowd does, from promoters to players?

              Of the few exceptions how many of them are not already educated and how many of them would have bought SP prior to this "fight".

                  Not sure if anyone brought this up...but it might also help explain the tie between the two/one companies (or muddy it up further):

                  Is DLX paying royalties to SP for the use of an electronic switch?

                  I supposed technically SP can elect who it charges royalties to and who it allows to use it's patented technology for free...however it is my understanding that there are no companies with SP's purview on this subject that are not paying royalties. So if DLX were not being charged royalties, it might demonstrate again that it's just a DBA and not a separate company per se.

                          The really ridiculous thing about the whole situation is that it's not like there aren't models on SP's payroll. DLX just had to steal a picture instead...

                            And if no one tries how can you or I expect to see any changes for the better?

                            I think that would be like my right hand paying my left...it all goes into the same wallet anyway.

                              Man, that's one thing about WDP; they hire actual women.

                              I'll wager that Rebecca looks like a troll, the kind of girl whose face looks like it was once on fire and someone put it out with a rake.
