Smart Parts will be closed at the end of the month !!

I'm tempted to do what got me banned over there years ago: send a pm to the mods telling them exactly what I think of their methods.

It's pointless, all it generates is a belief that their attitudes are right - if you come from another forum, you think you're better than them.

I jump around a bunch of forums online, it's always the same thing and it's never worth arguing with a mod - the vast majority of them just think they are there to impose their will, not keep the board clean of junk.

Best thing you can do if you disagree with a mods behavior is stop posting.. if everyone followed that line of thinking then the badly managed forums would die out quickly.

Unfortunately, most people prefer to get into a fight

Well I was in highschool all those years ago and I was itching for a fight. But after that I never bothered to rejoin. And you are right that's exactly what I'm doing this time, I'm NOT posting anymore over there. Who needs pbn anyway?

[Doobie]

A crap... im dead now too arent I?

Just another body to dispose of. My team of "friends" can handle it.

[Miscue]

Well that's a Shocker.

Well that's a Shocker.

I think we really struck a Nerve.

This thread is full of negative Vibes.

I think we really struck a Nerve.

My friend bought a Shocker in 2006... Kept having issues, would bring it to the field, things wouldn't work. As he "upgraded" (i.e. replaced stock parts with very similar aftermarket ones, some of which were not supposed to improve performance) some of the issues started to dissapear. Finally, he had a SINGLE Smart Parts component left on the marker, and was having bolt issues... $40 at NdZ later, the thing still shoots and hasn't had an issue since

which means that SP is still in buisness?

It means they are still clinging to hope.

Selling their US manufacturing to move to someplace cheaper in Asia. This sounds all too familiar...

That's what you get for buying things on Impulse.

I just had an Epiphany

[punkncat]

Do fields mostly still use CO2 for rentals? The last couple I've played at had 68/3000 tanks.. they are so cheap now ($40-50 retail) it's hardly even worth using CO2..

Actually we still use CO2 for our rental Tippys just because it lasts so long.

The owner has push button fill stations, and some of the steely tanks, but he is afraid to implement them for anything beyond tournaments because he is afraid someone will hurt themselves. So, we have to fill each HPA tank on field by hand off a bulk tank. Total PITA
