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.
K, this is not how you get sponsored...companies will usually not even consider it in this format, digital that is. IF you want a chance at it you will have to come up with an extesnive portfolio and have big plans. Paintball companies are not easy to get sponsored by. As quoted from one company, "A simple email inquiring for sponsorship gets as far as the delete button. Please send us an actual pportfolio." My team didnt get full dye apparel and $500 a month through a message board. Sorry if I burst your bubble

I think he is just trying to get his nmae out there
Bingo!
Just want people to know that we exist and are going to be making some noise!
Squid: Ya didn't burst my bubble at all. I had read in a couple of places that Airguns is not taking solicitations for sponsorships right now and THEY reccomend posting on this forum and keeping everyone updated on the team's progress. Basically if he is interested, from what I understand, he will approach the team. But he has to know we exist first!!!! :)
Aside from the sponsorship thing I just like to talk my team up. I am really proud of my team's dedication to paintball as a sport! I mean there are probably a lot of teams out there with similar training routines but not in my neck of the woods. Nobody besides my team can say that they trained consistently through the winter for two-three hrs at a go and then spent time studying magazines, movies and anything else we could get our hands on just to try and stay in form for the short summer season up here!! but like I said I am sure a lot of teams do stuff like this!

I beg to differ sir, Just because the fields are not open in the winter back home, doesn't mean we didn't play. Hell we played 3 times a week and some of us played airsoft too. Congrats on another team in AK, but there are dozen or so teams up there, including the two NPPL teams (Dutch Boyzz and Element). Also we have Doc Nickel up in AK, who as far as I am concerned is a legend. There is alot of paintbal up in AK, just got to know where to look.
P.S. My name is Will Newnham, I moved to South Carolina a few months back just to play at AO day SC WOOT. No I don't think you know me, I have never seen you before. Also stay away from Airguns Alaska, they wil rip you off hardcore.
