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

Well how long is that going to last now that the EPA declared CO2 a pollutant?

Well, to his credit, I have seen plenty of dumbasses not lock down tight onto the fill nipple and press the button. They are generally people with rentals who have never used it before though..

At the field I play at, they generally show the renters how do to it and just let the people with their own gear go to town.

which means that SP is still in buisness?

all it means is the SP shiop will sink and all their other capital is going into GI Milsim. SP may be dead but the brothers Gardner are still around with their GI Milsim crud...

So I guess we all have to stop breathing now too right? And the trees have to stop growing too right? This congress and president are a bunch of jackasses.

I'm going to go watch Push.

That was the year I started playing the sport. Anyone here ever play at Texas Paintball just outside of Austin, Tx around those years? I could never get enough of that field.

I'd love to see the industry turn back toward what it was in those days!

[TeaQue]

Well I got my SP1 back today.

In total it was gone for 8days and they put in a new blackheart board at no charge. I'm just glad I got it back. This thread made me a bit nervous

[TeaQue]

Well that's a Shocker.

This thread is full of negative Vibes.

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

I just had an Epiphany

:rofl:

That is sorta how I see it.

I would love to see SP's patents vanish, and the company go the way of the dodo.....But I just dont see it happening. Them changing names, rearranging assets IMO is nothing to dance about.

FWIW (rumor central)... All of the intelectual property belongs to the "Brothers Grim", and not SP... A & B will still be able to collect royalties for their "real" patents around the spool valve technology for several more years... When SP declares bankrupcy, the "duo" will still retain the valuable property.

Not to worry about their survival!!! They were smart enough to copyright "pwnd" and "n00b", so they will be wealthy FOREVER!!!!!

Why is Richmond Italia making statements for SP? I didn't know he was an employee there. Isn't that very close to stepping on the non-compete?

methinks thou hast too much time on thy hands

[Pump Scout]

Mine too, now I remember why I don't venture over
to pbn. Those mods are the biggest babies on the planet. Either that or the gardners bought pbn after the bgardner smackdown or just bribe the mods.

Thanks. We do what we can to keep conversations mature. For what it's worth, the Gardners have absolutely no stake in PBNation. And, if there's any SP mod bribery, they've forgotten to add several of us to the list.

I just guessed most of the own 'totally wicked upped Ions'

'Fraid not. I do have a stock Vibe that's great as a loaner gun.

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.

You're more than welcome to PM me on PBN, or here, or just say your piece. You should know that I'm not a mod in the SP section, but I did see the posts, and they were certainly inflammatory. Sorry you're of a different opinion on that, but in spite of what some folks think of PBN, it's only a cesspool of foolishness when it's allowed to go that direction. The staff does their level best to keep it away from that.

What really saddens me is that I've always personally thought the folks here are sharp, and above some of the garbage that does go on among forums, and sometimes I'm proven wrong. I know it's easy enough to take shots when an opening appears, but it's the bigger person who can be more mature than to kick others when they're down. I do apologize for taking this thread aside from its original direction, but when it comes to people slandering a project I believe in as much as PBN, and people who volunteer for one of the hardest tasks in the e-paintball world, I do feel the need to call a spade a spade.
