AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I got it.......im gunna complain to the editor, hopefully he/she will never let this person write again, or atleast untill she writes an apology. And ofcourse take a cross country trip to let each and every one of use kick her where god split her.......I would apritiate your help in getting the Ignorant, egotistic, (insert bad name here.....I suggest the"Female Dog."word) banned from publicating her work.......Mods if you think "Female Dog." is too much edit all you want......

Ich, dont go on the offensive.. the girl is obviously misinformed and wrote a bad article. Beyond alerting her to her misguided words/methods (as I feel we have done, misspellings aside), we should try to remain dignified by letting bygones be bygones. Hopefully she'll think twice before writing another piece like that again.
This isn't an "us vs her" confrontation, it is an "us vs the Paintball Stereotype" situation, and for those of us who value responsible journalism, mix in a case of "us vs bad editorial journalism." Add some cognac, add a little more, then bake till golden brown.
ya but...... Still, it pisses me off that she could judge us, label us, and attack us with out knowing us.........
If we can silence ( please dont take this the wrong way, i only mean keep her from doing more articles, i dont mean kill her ) these types of people, then the general public can decide on there own about us.....rather than be told what to think.
Rember a person believes what they were told growing up. if more people start to say bad things about our sport, the younger generations will believe it....even if it is 100% lies....

Actualy... one of the main things an Editor looks for in a good editorial is a good response. Positive or Negative. In this case she is getting one. But they will be pleased to see their readership increased either way. It's a darned if you do and darned if you don't situation. But you gotta do it realy. But let's keep it clean. Most of you have. So keep that up. But please don't go on there and get ugly. You make her points for her if you do. And if you must do something rash do not drag AO into it. Be a private Paintball playing citizen. PLEASE!
AGD, where we are so good we can do it with only ONE tube!
ok..............i didnt want to drag AO into this...But AHHHH just fills me with anger Im done on this subject.... anyone want to question or discuss it PM me......Sooooo much anger...O well i get to go and light up some losers tommorow.....

lol... your anger is understandable man, the question is how to best express it.
As for playing tomorrow, i'm supposed to start my first day of reffing at my local field ( http://www.operationpaintball.com ) and we're supposed to get 12 inches of snow between now and then here in chicagoland. Fun times.
