Cocker punk even got in on the action, but they deleted the thread, here's the link but i doubt you'll be able to go to it, i can view it thanks to the magic of the back button:

the ultimate proof
been reading this audrey crap.

i dont believe per se, but its very easy to prove something on the interwebz.

pics or shens?

yeah, audrey, to prove all the doubters wrong, take a picture.

now, when we had an epic battle with sean, billy gardner, jack wood, doc nickel, and simon, i decided to go the pics or shens route. i simply took a video of me proving them all wrong. it wasn't much trouble, and in your case it would be even easier.

please take a picture of yourself with -

7 fingers up
the letters WGH written on your hand in black ink
and a pen on/behind your ear

post it.

easiest proof ever.

one thing i have learned audrey, which, if you have been in the paintball world long enough, is that the life blood of paintball flows through PBN. and while most PBNers are flock seeking 14 year old boys, some are not. and sometimes its hard to tell the difference, and sometimes, you need to show the 14 year olds who is boss by stooping to there level and proving them all wrong.

it would take less than 10 minutes, and incontrovertibly prove your existence.

hell, it took me 4 hours and 30 bucks worth of crap and someone elses shocker to prove sean wrong, with your very existence questioned, and the reputation of the gun and company you support, it should be easy as pie.







I find it odd that they deleted it so quickly rather than closing it.

Oh, and J_Kizzy, i feel so stupid now, i can't change people's minds? Well i'm not trying to change their minds, i'm just trying to show people what kind of company they are, and if that changes their minds, then so be it, but that's not my main concern. I honestly don't care if they buy it, i think it's overpriced, and it's almost as long as a tippy so it's their loss. The thing i care about is how they mislead their customers, but you know, it's not that big a deal i suppose.

Anyone with any sense at all already knows what type of company Smart Parts is; a group of sheisty (insert a creative plural expletive here). I don't see how exposing another of their shady business tactics is going to prove anything to people who, quite frankly, don't give a ____. Either people realize things are how they are or they go through life without a clue as to what's going on around them.

Will you be the light in the dark? The undeniable savior who will lead them away from their pagan ways?

The Enlightenment begins now.

You got it, i see myself as the messiah, i'm here to save you all from the sin that is smart parts. I'm also here to tell you all to live by my example.

There are a lot of people who don't know that DLX is the same company as Smart Parts, and i'd rather them know that they're talking to a fake rep.

[questionful]

Honestly, who cares? I really can't see how this is still an issue.

Deceiving customers in an attempt to make more money off of them (indirectly, but that is the point of Audrey)? You don't mind that? Fine. Some people care what kind of people they support, and think that encouraging certain business practices will have an effect on the industry. If you're not one of those people, I'm sorry.

MMMM Bikini Speedball /drool

It wouldn't even matter who was hit, who wins games, just make them run around for hours....

If there was Bikini Speedball, we would all win.

Well I'm trying to get my hands on a picture and doing a little PI work, so hopefully we can get an actual pictureof audrey playing... SP:" quick they are catching on get that model out on a field now and take some pics..." :rofl:


The audrey contro. is spreading:

[snoopay700]

Yeah, on mcarterbrown.com Sean even said it's not her real picture, yet he never said that on PBN and she is still acting like it's her real picture, which shows that she picked the picture for some reason, and it's so that people would think that they're talking to a hot woman, because honestly who would you rather get help from when considering a marker, a hot chick who knows a lot about the sport or some chick that's not too great looking who knows a lot about the sport. Well at least we finally know the truth, not like we didn't know it before though.

I personally don't find that model hot, just want to go on record saying I think she looks kinda mannish...

I find the assertion that I have some sort of disregard for the manner in which Smart Parts carries themselves as a business offensive. My point is that it's what we should expect from them; no more, no less. It should be no surprise that they would make every attempt to make money, afterall they are a business right? Albeit they operate in a manner that is grossly unacceptable and disgusting, their behavior should come as no surprise.

[questionful]

Okay. Well, I disagree that we shouldn't make a fuss about it. First of all we're AO. More importantly, I like to try to do a little something about things I'm not happy with, not just sit around and let them continue to happen. As tagroland from MCB said in his video:

"You shouldn't be part of the darkness, you should be exposing the darkness."

[Boy_Wonder]

I find myself sickened to no end that some poor girl's picture is being exploited to reap profits for a paintball company!!!! For shame!!!

Okay, not really. Honestly, who cares? I really can't see how this is still an issue. People are going to buy whatever they want regardless of how much muck you rake, or attempt to in this case; you can't change people's minds for them.

I'll tell you the problem I have with fake identities on a web forum:
DLX is promising the BEST customer support in the history for their new marker. They are promising YEARS of service for the $1600 investment. They are not distributing the markers online to try to help the local shops with business and keep the customers coming back for certified service, etc. All this sounds great and I think it's a really neat idea for a company to take these strides.

Now, if they can hold their end of the deal $1600 might not be a lot for good service over several years. However, when all of these promises are coming from a company who has a poor quality control background plus added onto that, misleading representatives of the company, things start getting a little hairy.

Let me clarify that I have absolutely NO problem with the fact that a company has a female representative, I actually think it's great. But, if the company is deceiving it's customer base with false representation, you have to question everything else they've said. I am willing to take the scrutiny that goes along with being wrong on this matter, but if I am correct, I would definitely think twice before dealing with a deceptive company like this.

[J_Kizzy]

You should think twice about dealing with Smart Parts anyway, their track record speaks volumes. I was quoted at $1650 for a Luxe down here and I'd almost consider it because, let's face it, that marker is pretty hot. Who's to blame SP for attempting to get away from their rat____ reputation? Just as Ford has attempted to re-invent themselves over and over again, only to fail miserably. Now I will say that their viral marketing attempt is sheisty, but it is what it is; an effort to turn their back on their utter incompetence thus far.

Hey, you all remember how i told you cockerpunk made a thread about it and it got deleted right away, well apparently he put a quote in his signature that one of the reps from PBN said to him today, and i happen to have that quote here:
Originally posted by HP_Lovecraft: (about PBN)
But in short order, it was explained that the job of the mods is to PROTECT the sponsors, not the users. They don't give a crap about the spam, trolls, and flames. Nor the constant waste of bandwidth with absurd sigs, porn, and vulgar talk.... again, as long as no harm was done to sponsors. The whole forum was setup as a massive marketing scheme.

At least i assume it was said today, either way it was still said about PBN, which i find both hilarious and sad at the same time.
