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.
so we slammed kingman, but we had fun... what can i tell ya, we were bored. We felt like being dicks...
this is the problem, you felt BORED, so you decided to act like jerks, instead of finding something else to do. It's the problem with alot of kids ages 10-17 and unfortunetly i fall in that category also, but do i act like a jerk when i'm BORED no!
and im sure that guy who replyed felt like being one back
I don't see where your comming from, I admire that guy for how he handled the situation. If i had the opportunity he had I would have handed you the biggest smack possible.
On a side note, yes kingman's current line of markers looks very similar, but who cares. The guns are cost effective allowing a new paintball player to enter the sport. I would not be playing paintball right now if it where not for Kingman and it's because of what they offer. Kingman offers a decent, very upgradeable entry level gun for some very cheap prices. I had a budget that my dad let me spend when i bought my first gun and gear, "Get it for about 100$ and you can play paintball", he said. If i couldn't do that then no paintball. So "What has Kingman contributed to the sport?" you ask... a inovative mechanical system? no, groundbreaking technology? no. But what they have offered is more important then the lvl10 or any new stylish tourney marker for that matter. Kingman offers the ability for people to get into the great sport of paintball. Whithout Kingman do you think that as many people that are on these boards tonight would be here beacuse i sure no that i wouldn't.
ok here ill try to say it more clearly.... im a complete moron... there ya happy now? we all do stupid stuff in our life times. Now that you all got your shots at me and i am more cultured in life i shall retreat back into my hole from where i came. Thanks for making me realize what a foolish act this was. I shall mentally slap my self when ever i think of this letter. Sorry.
hey look don't beat yourself up over this. At least you relize now that it wasn't as bright of a idea you thought it was when you and your buddy where bored.
There are a lot of 15 year old people out here, I'm 15 too. Being a teen for one doesn't give u an excuse to be a fool and write things like that. At least you have now learned that doing something like that is really not worth the time- even if you are bored. If you are bored, why don't you go do some work for your mom and dad! That's something to do and it's productive too!
Also, I think everyone makes some mistakes that they are REALLY sorry for because they didn't think the outcome would be so bad... so maybe we should lessen up on the "Bad Dog, No biscuit!" stuff

you say that AGD has contributed different from Kingman, so im guessing you think AGD has had more of a impact, AGD has had a enormous impact on paintball conceptually, and by that i mean by leading the way with innovations at times, however there was a point were the mag was begining to get stale, and thats when AGD had their revamp stage. Kingman has not nor ever will be a high end marker producing company, they label their guns "turny ready" for several reasons- primarily being marketing hype. all the companies have to do it just to stay competetive with each other, the marker industry is very fierce. Kingman has contributed enormously to the sport of paintball. they helped to make paintball affordable to a lot of kids, Kingman is a definate step up from BE but with out breaking your piggy bank. yes they have a ton of markers out, but ya know what? that gives a lot of kids the opportunity to say "look my marker is different from yours right out of the box!" which may sound stupid but, do you really like going to the field and seeing someone shooting your exact same set up? i know i dont thats why i assemble all my markers from parts to ensure that no other ones are out there that are like them
dont be too quick to bash kingman and other entry level marker companies, they helped get a lot of us into the sport, just because you shoot a mag now doesnt mean that all entry guns suck
mostly he was insaine but he had fleeting moments of mere stupidity
You'll hardly ever see a company backlash at a customer for 1) it's not good business and 2) most business's put customers first. I really think Kingman could care less about what two teenagers who are bored have to say, though. If you ask me, Kingman is one of the smartest companies out there. Ask most paintball players what one of the most common problems they have when they first start and always have through paintball, it's having money. Kingman recognizes this, and makes there guns for this sole purpose, for the smaller budgets and for players who just want something non-expensive. Kingman probably has some many different models to choose from so they have a huge variety. Many paintball players will research when buying their first gun, and looks play a big part in this. If the player see's Kingman with all these different, low priced guns that have some annodizing and color, they will remember it. And like mentioned earlier, the AGD and Kingman have totally different market audiences to appeal to. It really gets to me people who try and take it to far in proclaiming there equipment, especially like autoduk and his friend by going to a COMPANY to do it.

autoduk: What the freak is your problem with Kingman? Maybe you should have done a tad more research before you made a fool of yourself. Em1s are not blowbacks, they are true electronics like Initimidators and Angels because the hammer is controled by a solenoid. They have no need to change their marker design, because their design is just fine. I suppose you can say the exact same thing about WGP, ICD, Smart Parts and AKA since they havn't made big inovational changes to their markers .

Yeah, Id say that was a slap in the face if Ive read one online before
