    Triggernomics kicks the bucket

    Hey friends,
    As of sometime this week, Triggernomics will no longer be a viewable website. There are a lot of factors which have brought me to this crossroads, and I have put a lot of thought into this decision. In the end, it is what is best for me and my family right now.
    My wife and I are both going to school in Germany, where I am writing this from. I am going to study machining and tooling while my wife goes for her masters degree in goldsmithing.
    The next few years will be tough, trying to make ends meet has now become the priority. The website was never really a burden, and though it may be a small financial one now, the decision to eliminate Triggernomics is mostly out of a need to focus on what's ahead.
    I'll probably still tinker around with guns like always, but I just don't see that much of an opportunity to be as involved as I have been.
    The biggest reason for this closure is because it's quite disturbing for me to deny all the e-mails I get everyday asking for triggers and other work. I feel like I'm letting people down.
    Finally, I think a break is what's in order for me right now, and when I get back to this I want it to be something new and different. It might not be called Triggernomics anymore, and it might not be a business either. Whatever it is, when I'm ready, it will be better than ever before.
    Paintball is the best sport there is and that won't ever change for me.
    I want to thank all the members here for a great time and I really want to thank Tom Kaye for giving the sport of paintball everything he has. We are very lucky to have him.
    To all those home workshop fellas who want to do what I did, I can only say,"go for it!"
    I will return to this forum with a different screen name and try to keep in touch, but I'm going to be too busy for online stuff for quite a while.
    So, while you still can, download your favorite pics and such because they won't be found anywhere else.
    Take care,
    Dan@Triggernomics

        Hey Dan, where abouts in Germany? I got the impression you are in Germany already?

        I'll be in Frankfurt on the 28th of November to the 1st of Dec with Euromould, a huge machining and tooling show, if that's what you are studying then maybe you will be there? It's worth a visit

        I'm also often in Munich (company HQ) that's a great place to be. I love Munich.

        Maybe you'll attend one of the millenium series paintball events or get to travel Europe, if you do let me know

        Best of luck with your future.

          Good luck to you and your wife. I love your work (even if I never could have afforded it).

            I'm near Freiburg(already), and I would love to meet up with you in Frankfurt. Just let me know where you'll be and I'll be there.
            Any addresses and phone numbers would help.
            I plan on participating in any and all paintball events I can find in Europe and I look forward to seeing you there as well.
            Your words of support mean a lot to me,
            thanks,
            Dan

              Oh, I wish I could be in Germany.
              Much luck to ya.

              Stay in touch out there, if possible. I think it would be cool to hear about what paintball is about in Germany.

                        Alright, if this is inappropriate in this thread, I apollogize.

                        I recently contacted Dan about getting a thinner blade trigger for my iFrame. He promptly replied, (thanks Dan) and explained that he won't be doing this for a while. That's cool. I appreciate the honesty and I wish you luck Dan.

                        Are there alternatives to Triggernomics for triggers? I'm not a huge fan of the stock iFrame Blade trigger. It's a bit bulky for my fingers. I would like a blade trigger with a little less meat to it. Anyone recommend a trigger for iFrame?

                        Thanks,
