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.
Big AO Welcome to Crossfire President Chris Havlock!!!!
Welcome to AO! I am one of the Round Table members working on the Crossfire project. I'm sorry if it seemed a witch-hunt - that was not the intention at all.
Currently the project has been on an 8-week hold - since I broke my wrist. I can't manage tools very well and have been waiting on the removal of 5 pins holding everything together. I expected everything out today - but to my surprise, even though the rod and 4 pins came off, they left one in and hard casted me for 10 more days
We will pick the project up as soon as I am fully back online - although it can continue moving forward at anytime. We'd love to work with you on this if you are interested and any input (as a designer of HPA systems) that you can offer would be appreciated. The plan all along (refer to thread in Round Table forum) was to present our findings to each product's manufacturer at the conclusion of each test anyhow. By working with you we can all learn a lot - which is the big goal of the whole endeavor.
I did make some rather critical comments regarding the condition that the system I purchased for the project arrived in (and the manner in which it was shipped). Sorry if it seemed a little harsh - but I just write it like I see it. Regardless of the comments on the aesthetics, I along with everyone have an open mind about the whole project.
Again welcome to AO!

I've got one of your alloy 68/3000 stub tanks that I run on my backup marker. Very nice little tank. Glad to see you here on AO and I hope you find the feedback here useful.
A good friend is one that will come and bail you out of jail.
A great friend is one that is sitting next to you in jail saying "Man that was F#%*ing Awesome"!

I'd also like to welcome Chris to AO. A few weeks ago I emailed Crossfire about their new regulator, the Biatch. Not only did Chris reply personally, he was thoughtful enough to enquire about my feelings on the regulator's name and how it might affect his business. I don't know if I was the first to ask him to check out these forums and post those kinds of questions here (although I'd like to think so! ) but I'm glad he's taking the time to speak with all of us here.
Glad to hear you're confident enough in your products to do this! As everyone else is saying, this isn't meant to be a witchhunt or anything. Just checking to see if a manufacturers claims are the truth or not. I too have used crossfire tanks and have had great experiances every time. Thanks again.
