      my first instinct is that they bought the company for the IP and are gonna gut the rest of it. probably the smart thing to do.

        Those names are not familiar to me.
        Steve Davidson is one of the oldest names in paintball, used to write a column for APG back in the early 90s.

            Growing more confident 'White Hats' are the good guys. Or at least have the honest intent to be.

              Steve's admitted to being their "Media outlet". They own the site but sounds like Steve is putting the content up as he's instructed.

                We all know that the ONLY person who has this kind of cash, foresight and moxie to pull something like this off is BEEMER. Plus, he is friends with Steve Davidson

                            The Inside Scoop, August 20 SMART PARTS NEWS
                            Aug 20: PaintballX3 Magazine has learned today that a company called White Hats LLC will be announcing today that they have reached an exclusive arrangement with Smart Parts Inc's creditors and will be acquiring all of the company's assets, including machinery, finished goods and intellectual property. We have heard that White Hats will continue to produce and support the popular Smart Parts line and will be actively engaging in intellectual property licensing. We've also learned that 68Caliber.com will be serving as White Hats' official media outlet.
