hummmmm, I wonder why?

[swat150]

Lol I wonder if we should move this thread to PBR, its becoming a little warm.

[FooTemps]

lol...

Caleb, I still say pbr is full of chicken wimps since no one showed at our challenge last year.

Because the members are more diverse...

Footemps- Challenge? What challenge? I wasn't aware there was a challenge.

I don't agree thats the case. I think with your very limited experience here you conclude that erroneously. And of course we both are biased from our perspective points of reference. But really now I think you need to spend more time here before you go and conclude that sort of thing. It being the center point of you entire argument and all it would seem more appropriate to argue that if you HAD some knowlege and credentials to back it up.

I personaly have owned A few Spyders and clones thereof and loved tinkering with them and I own a Cocker as well. Thats typical of MOST of the members of this Forum. Counter to what you are claiming.

However this is the only place you can go were you can expect the Mag myths to be dispelled. Not so many other places. If you want facts without flamming come here. If you already made up your mind to believe the rumors and myths then this is not the place for you to come.

What you seem to NOT get is, this IS an AUTOMAG forum. The majority of people prefer mags, but to say that is a stretch.

What challenge? I never heard anything about this. I'm willing to bet 99.9% of our members didn't either. Also... hosting it in WA? Pick some place more central that more than 20 people could go to. Yeah... congrats on your win there... good job...

Also, discussing this here is pointless. You don't go to a Bush fundraiser and ask for opinions on Kerry. You aren't going to get very fair answers at all. I usually close these threads when they come by me at PBR. It's just asinine to discuss this anywhere on the internet, and especially so at one of the sites in question. In fact, I already closed the thread refrencing this one at PBR. About a month ago, I did leave up a poll asking everyone their favorite forums. What do you think happened? PBR won in a landslide. Gee, couldn't see that one coming.

Yes, PBR is larger than we were two years ago and now has all the normal problems of a larger site. We're trying our best to keep these as minimal as possible, but one thing is for sure. We've lost the 'close knit community'. It's gone, and is never coming back. It happens, it's a shame, but it can't be stopped. It'll happen here one day too. Sorry.

**EDIT - Yeah, so I did a search on PBR for 'ao AND challenge' then 'ao AND wa' then 'ao AND washington'. I came up with two trading threads (a guy selling his mag) and one thread about fake reviews. Then I did a search on here for 'pbr AND challenge' then 'pbr AND wa' then 'pbr AND washington'. I got this thread and one trading thread.

You got banned for threatening the mod staff. You were IP banned after we removed your THIRD account.

[cphilip]

Good enough reason to ban him I would say! funny how that is isn't it?

LOL

Well heck why not a challenge at SC AO meet? We love to have you guys come down.

Check my signature link for details. You would be more than welcome.

[amazing_spyderman]

easy for you to challenge someone to a match when practically nobody can show up. the closest pbr mod i know of is caleb, who lives in florida. there's no way i can afford to go down to sc and show you what's what. pay for my plane ticket and conisder your challenge accepted :P

Haha. Yes, pay for our plane tickets. :P

I would challenge Havoc and Capo... but they always mop the floor with me. :P

That's my exact point. Your just giving me more argueing power. Here are Automags there is much more discussion of Automags than any other markers. At PBReview there is discussion of many different markers. Period. That's my point.

If my main marker was a Automag I would probably come visit this forum more often. It is a great forum for people who own automags (and some who don't).

Note- SC Village is still far to far away for me to get to. And skills don't determine which is the better forum. Not that I'm saying we couldn't beat you though.

[Vengeance]

Are you serious?

You guys actually sink down to the level of arguing over which internet site is better than the other? This is by far the most ridculous thing I have ever seen on this respectable website, and the worst thing is that the moderators are enforcing the fact that AO is far superior. My opinion of this site has certainly changed, and unless someone of respectable stature admits the dimwittedness of this totally uncalled for argument, it will stay that way.

I am not willing to tell whcih site I think is the best, because there is no "best." Please people, as long as paintball is involved, I'm there.

Pbnation: Chowda
Pbreview: Blue Baller
AO: (duh)

Peace.

I like both forums, they all have their highs and lows.

AO is a great site, and a lot of knowledgable people. A nice trade forum as well I'm starting to visit here more (that could be because I'm looking into a mag ) as it is a different view point, as most of the members here seem to be more of an Adult, so to speak. However, the reason I like pbr is the lay-out. Not all members share some type of opinion. (this is to say, if you own a mag or not, odds are you have to like 'um to visit automags.org). You can visit pbr and get a wide view of opinions. And, you can go to a specific forum. Looking into a barrel? Go to the barrel forum. Timmy?, Bob long forum. Mag? AGD forum. Looking for a good local field? Hit either the field reviews, or the regional forums. We, or Andrew, has a good layout at pbr IMO. And, unlike pbn, the forum isn't huge. I can't stand to go to a forum that's so big you can hardly find your thread 2 hours later.

In short, both forums have their strongs, and I like each one. However, since I feel there is a little more diversity over at pbr (even if it's just the lay-out) I like pbr a little more. This would explain why I've kept with pbr all this time, and now moderate it as well. But I've also come here on a few occasions. So I like both.

"You guys" as in you? Seems someone needs to take a look in the mirror. What site you posting on?

I ain't "enforcing" anything. I stating it as a plain and simple fact thats what I think. Period. And I not arguing that fact...You guys came here to do that it now appears. Musta struck a nerve... Not me going anywhere to proclaim it or argue it! In fact the only one arguing is the few of you. We not could care less about this particular matter. We have always gotten along real well in all the other forums. Most of us are members of a lot of them. Now its appearent to me that the member here that started this was someone who had an axe to grind with you. I think that speaks volumes for his credibility. But most of the first of this you didn't even attack that! You just generalized about AO! Rather than point out he was a troublemaker you allowed it to carry over here! Who's to blame there? Its not doing any good pointing fingers at me. Look back at your first responses to this. YOU PROCLAIMED SUPERIORITY ON OUR SITE! Geeze... thats a numnutze thing to do isn't it? You kinda crazy trying to take the moral high road now. I not buyin it!

And of course then I invite you folks very nicely (as I have PBN and AOG and many other online comunities in the past) and you go all ape crap on me like it was some sort sneeky thing to make it difficult on you or something. DO NOT FLATTER YOURSELF!You think I did it all with YOU in mind and personaly located it so you couldn't make it or something? Where in the heck do you even come off with that whole sorry conclusion? Some people would surely consider a reply like that to be offesively rude and I sure do. How self centered of you! People are going to now think its fairly typical of your forums I bet now. You realize your attitude here is indicative to many of your forum? Fairly or not. I should think you should start all over there with that holier than thou attitude and let's go back to the start here.

Hey... if you can make it then fine. I could realy care less at this point. Many people are traveling far futher to be there. A testiment to our members here. We would be glad to have you if you want to come. Really we would. Any of you that want to come and represent are more than welcome.
