      Even though it's fake, it can still be damaging to our sports image. Not to mention that it's in extremely poor taste.

      I just recieved a response from DtDNS. Here is what they said....
      Hi , we are attempting to contact the site owner at present to find out
      the true nature of the site and discuss options before simply "cutting off"
      the site.
      Please email [email protected] and let him know what you think about this site!

Columbine Paintball is not an actual paintball facility, nor is there any monetary profits related to Columbine Paintball. However, the mail people send us is hilarious. Apparently people will believe anything, such as believing that a plane actually crashed into the Pentagon on 9-11.

              Uhh, am I the only one that saw the disclaimer?

              Oh, well, now that I saw the second and third page of the thread I see that I am not the only one.

              Honestly guys a little critical reading goes a long way. Really though it is a stupid sick joke and the juvenile minds, not neccessarily juvenile aged mind you, behind it need to be reported to non other than their parents. Yea, this person has a really bad sense of humor but last time I checked that wasn't against the law. Nobody complains when Hitler takes a pineapple up the rear on the movie screen but you crack a joke at an innocents expense and suddenly people are justifying bodily harm. I'm not saying anyone here is doing that but it happens all the time. Its a stupid joke page and by firing off nasty e-mails you give the author exactly what they wanted. You become the butt of the joke.

              Reguardless, my statement still stands.

                  I believe the disclaimer was put there after all the emails started rollin' in about how stupid the site was. They have moved the disclaimer to the top of the page now.

                  I read the site and it wasn't there before.

                  Bushjumper has the best solution. If you don't like this (and you better not), then email the DNS provider. This is an obvious violation. Perhaps that is why they added the disclaimer. Maybe they got some pressure from the DNS provider.

                  In any case, I'm glad this isn't real. It's very sick and insensitive, and not in good taste whatsoever. There's always going to be idiots who abuse their rights to free speech to do stuff like this.

                    Well before everyone gets all critical of each other - this website has been changed and modified over the past 20 hours

                    It is not the same as it appeared when Tom put out the call to AO.

                    I just got off the phone with my wife's aunt in Thompson, MB and there is no paintball field named Columbine. I know this has been established, but I wanted to let AO and especially Tom know that I have solid proof of that (they live in Thompson MB)

                    But, going to the site late last night, I noticed they changed it from Thompson, MB to Thompson, AB (which does not exist)

                    It's good to see the power of email. Disclaimer or not, this is one sick dude - and it sheds a bad light on us as paintballers- disclaimer or not

                    We were right not to let something like this stick around

                    Thanks

                        Either the statement about the plane not crashing into the pentagon is sarcastic or the person truly believes there's a conspiracy using movie special effects to create the pentagon damage and the govt somehow fooled even the people who live near the pentagon that could drive by it every day.
                        So, all the people that were supposed to be on that plane and in the building where it hit either never existed, were killed before the conspiracy, or are in deep govt assisted hiding (cause they are supposed to be dead).

                        It's most likely sarcastic. If the person really believes it though, that's some serious wacky delusional conspiracy theory.

                        The web page designer is desperate for attention because his or her parents never gave them any. Poor bastard or (female equivalent of bastard).

                          i think they removed the disclamer cause i cant find it... that site it sick and if they accually played paintball they wouldnt want to damage the sport and they would know what the equiptment is called.

                              pentagon tragedy

                              My guess is that the sick mind that created the "Columbine" site is just trying to incite more people with the Pentagon comment. He is just trying to get more people worked up enough to send him an email. When a person thinks and acts like he does, they don't have many friends and this kind of attention is better to him than no attention. I agree with Bushjumper on how to handle this. I sent a complaint in to [email protected] yesterday and they are getting another one from me today.

                                Looks like the site is offline now. But man....that made me mad. Good job to those who emailed DtDS.

                                Thanks Tom for leading this in a responsible and restrained manner.
