ErraticStatic.com - Paintball Picture Gallery - Tons of gun pics and action pics!!

[maglover52]

i dont see why people would care if someone used a picture of there gun. if you dont want it used you should post pictures of it on the internet is the way i see it. you can use any of my markers any day.

thats like putting up a bill board everyone can see it doesnt mean you should take the design and use it without permission

That is actually kind of acceptable at some fields still. Its not bad actually, I wouldn't mind doing that to my jt flex sitting around. Reminds me of my jt whipper masks sitting around

dude, i think thats messed up, and illegal by the NPPL '03 rule book:

section 6.22 and 6.23

6.22 Players must wear full-face protection as it comes the manufacturer in its original form.

6.23 Players must wear ear protection that is part of the goggle system that was made by the manafacturer for that system.

I know that if I worked my butt off to get some cool shots then doctored them, spent time making them look even better, I'd be very upset to find them in someone elses site with out giving me credit.

Ask before ya take....

At least give the owner credit...

Good luck...

Shut up. I would be happy to have my mag up there I bet everyone else would too. He never classified them as his own he has a seperate section for his gun.

Alright to answer all of your guys posts about me not asking to use your pics:

I am sure all of you enjoy looking at the pictures on the site. I love it, I made the thing and I sometimes find myself just strolling around on there admiring the guns. Guns used to be just plain simple GUNS. Now today they are milled and annoed (and what not) and are almost (atleast I consider) to be works of art.

I like to think of it as a process of "give and take." You are "taking" from the website and other people's images by looking at them for your enjoyment, so why not "give" back to the site and the rest of the paintball community and allow your pics to be viewed by others.

I do realize the "wrong" in doing this. If you seriously do not want your pictures on there or want credit for the pictures just email me and I will happily, happily, remove them or give you credit for them, no problem. I am "giving" you my time (and money...for domain and hosting) to offer you a place to come and look at paintball pictures. Many of you have also "given" to the site by sending me pics and saying that you enjoy and want your pics on the site, and are in return "giving" to the paintball community. But some are just "taking" from everyone by looking at all the pics, using bandwidth (that isn't free you know), and then saying that I am doing wrong by using their pictures.

If everyone was upset that I used their pictures, there would be no pics at all for everyone to enjoy. But if everyone liked it and sent pics, the site would grow and offer more pics for your enjoyment.

I doubt anyone is honestly offended by me using your pics. But if you are, I understand, and will give you credit or take them off.

I hope you don't get the wrong impression. I am just trying to provide something to the sport of paintball, not trying to hurt it, or any person, in the process. I have spent many hours, and will spend many more creating this site for YOUR enjoyment. I am also spending a decent amount of cash to offer this site.

I hope I don't come off as being rude or discourteous, I am definitely not trying to be. I respect your opinions and appreciate those that have expressed their enjoyment and support for the site. I also respect anyone's negative feelings toward the site and I hope that I can change your view on that somehow.

This thread has become a bunch of hypothetical posts of "What if I was offended...", arguments, and flames. If you seriously have a problem please email me directly and talk directly to me instead posting on here for people to argue about and flame.

Thanks.

(All happy and positive posts are welcome )

I seriously am obsessed with those guy's pants. It is my goal to find those pants (Well not those exact pants, just ones that look like that) and make love to them.

And the gun matches perfectly with the pants. I love it.

APowers365,

I like your webpage layout. Its just like a photo album thats easy to brows. Looking and no reading required - I liked that part best sometimes Your gathering of pictures is like an encyclopedia of automag markers, and now I only wish to be able to select the marker that interest me and read up on its owner and its specs. That would truly make my day! And solve some touchy issues.

Keep up the good work!

Heph.

PS - How many of you out there have never saved a pic of a marker that you liked on to your computer or even pasted it as a wallpaper on your screen. To me that is the best complement you can give for a person's work even if you don't know who they are.

Very cool... too bad you dont have THE best PURPLE markers EVAR in the mag gallery.

Thanks!! I am looking into providing text with each picture. I plan to have the owner of the gun (creator of the image), maybe their email and specs on the gun. I can only do this if the owner emails me with that info. This will of course take an enormous amount of time but I think it will be a great addition to the site.

If anybody woud like to help out on the site that would be awesome. If you have AIM, which I really suggest you do if plan to help, IM me at APowers365 and ask about it.
