Hey Tony,
My sig is the normal size - all of the graphics are well under the size limit (and load quite quickly). The rest of it (ie the black) is html and resizes with the page.
Now, to move away from my signature (which was pretty inappropriate and should have been addressed in a PM or by a moderator) and back to the topic of the thread...
WARPED1,
Interesting (and valid) point regarding if you live in a rural area. My only idea would be elegantly simple in execution. What sport do we play? Paintball. Where do we play it? At a field. Who else congregates at paintball fields? Paintball players. Thus, have a "tech session" at your field.
In general,
Although Smart Parts has gained some pretty serious initial revenue from out of court settlements, I am pretty sure that a large majority of regular players are aware of what they are doing and how it will affect the cost of the sport. Thus, I can only imagine that as it drags on, the awareness and anger of players will only increase, thus causing SP losses in potential revenue. The beauty of having an 'upgrade yourself' gun is that by skirting the issue of selling a fully assembled electronic gun, they can effectively avoid paying both the initial license and the per-gun license (and companies who have yet to be targeted and forced to pay), which dries up the revenue stream Smart Parts was counting on to make up for lost consumer revenue. If no one buys SP, and they can't generate revenue from the licensing, then they could (fingers crossed) ended up screwing themselves.
