Should AO Buy AngelOwnersGroup.com????

[Shaft]

HELL YEAH!

Work on gettin' a good WGP forum too!

[PsychoMag]

I think it is a wonderful idea, since there are so many Angel owners on the board already.

Not if it will take up more of your time.... We are all waiting VERY patiently for all the cool new stuff. :)

[Dubstar112]

Yeah GO go for it Tom!.. but beware of the mighty FLAME! I know flames dont normally come from heaven(the angel hehe).. but beware

[FeelTheRT]

go for it!

I think this is an excellent oportunity. Not only will AO be larger, more Angel owners will be educated with what's what, and not just stupid hypes.

I kinda like this idea. A multiple marker freindly thing. Can only help I think.

[tremis]

I like it. I like it a lot. It may be easy to jump ship, but once they see it, they'll stay. If its only half as good as here, they'll stay.



I dont bother with PBnation or PB city because they aren't near as nice as AO, I think Angel users are smart enough to understand what is and isn't a quality forum.

Yeah Baby!

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. Go for it!

Woe! So AGD bought out WDP and now they are cross breeding Angels with Emags!?!?

Yes, they will be called "Mangles", alongside the Punisher cocker/Mag hybrid "Mockers".

Well congrats on the purchase,
although i would like to say thank you for ruining a great start to what we already had going .... if you weren't aware

https://www.angel-owners.com

this was started at the time angelownersgroup.com was shut down and the reason we didnt get the domain was because he wanted a ridiculous amount for it. And a chump like me cant afford stuff like that :)

Good Luck

what happened to the post by "arch Angel"? I saw last night??? was it censored? I'm a little confused.... if you see this arch PM me what went on!!!

After spending time on other boards, I've come to the conclusion that this is one of the best run and moderated sites on the web. Flame wars are few and far between, opinions are usually respected, and it's a great knowledge base, all wrapped up in a well designed website. If you are to buy their website, I would suggest at least for the time being, to keep it separate and incorporate whatever changes are needed to make it a welcome place to visit. Get it's pulse going again, and get the buzz started. Then, after they are used to those changes, merge the sites (if that is the future plan) in common areas :friendly forum, dealer forum, etc., but obviously keep the Mag forums separate from the guns with the funny accent.:)
Just my $.02.

First off...

Since AOG went under I knew it was only a matter of time before one of three "sites" took control of it:

Automags.org
PbNation.com
Paintballcity.com

These three places seemed logical, especially the last two. I was however pleased to see that TK joined my forum (www.angel-owners.com) and I encourage all Angel owners and those interested to check us out as well.

I can't even begin to theorize why TK would want AOG but I'm sure he has his reasons, his motives unknown.

It'll make for an interesting big picture to have a site about one company's product, owned by another.

Very nice post Joker. Sound and reasonable. I like it and it goes kind of to the heart of my views on this. Couldn't say it better myself.

cphillip has a point, but I think it would help to what AO has already started: Flame Wars. On every other board you always got cocker vs mag, mag vs cocker, angel vs cocker, angel vs mag, etc... But here it has been all about learning more about different guns and educating everyone on what's true and false.

Also AGD will have an even greater idea of what Angel owners like about their guns (as well as non-angel owners) so they can be incorporated into the Emag.

Also maybe this can help stop the "paint-blenders" rumor. People here know why it happens, but "uneducated" think it's the gun. I noticed that there's almost 5k members here, but there's over 4 million paintballers. So this can help spread the word and get not only more mags out there, but more knowledgable players.

It also works both ways...now people here could learn about the angel so no myths and rumors would float around here about them.

As long as it isn't a huge price, I'd go for it.
