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.
Wow. It perplexes me how many people who don't go to PBN ALWAYS talk about PBN. Look around AO and PBR. How many PBN threads are there? You've got the PBR threads that are like 'TEH OMG WE R TEH TURNING INTO TEH PBN!' then you've got these stupid PBN threads here...
Sounds like jealousy or something. PBN is the best paintball resource on the net, assuming you stay out of PBT and ST. PBN has company reps from any decent company out there... PBR has like some high school kid run ACP and AO has only AGD. No competition there. You want info on new stuff, you go to PBN.
PBN also has people who know everything there is to know about everything you'd ever bring onto a field. Not just 'Mags. Not just Spyders. Anything and everything.
And above all, PBN has players who've managed to get up and adapt with the game, not stay with the old mentality of little barrel and huge drop, as an example.
This is not to say that PBR/AO/others don't have their good points... but Jesus. You people always get your panties in a bunch over PBN. Always. Whether its the OMG I R TEH ANTI-AGG threads because you don't understand it's FREAKING JOKE or OMG TEH PBN IS TEH FLAMES!!, you guys always have something stupid to say about PBN. There's a reason it has 4x the members as AO or PBR..
I would also like to agree on this right here and disagree. The main point about PBN being a great place for information is true. Everytime i go into specific markers i can expect to have knowlegable(sp?) responses...and some that aren't. I just try to ignore the fact that some people are just immature. What I love about this place is that they don't change. If they feel comfortable with what they have been using for years then by golly let them use what they want. AO doesn't have immature spammers like PBN and the constant changes with drops AGG or what not. I personally am not one to like the AGG and things like that because it is just stupid. Jumping on the bandwagons isn't the greatest thing ever. Plus AO is a tighter community with meet and greets. I personally have a blast to everyone i go to because of the genuine people. It is more of a family of nicer folks, who cares about the number of members? I personally like the tighter feel of less members who post a lot. If you look at the people that have been here many of them have been here for a long time or since the begining. Plus the average poster has a greater number of posts then almost all PBNers. Just IMO.
I wasnt trying to say that all of PBN is stupid. Im just saying that was a bad first impression and that some of the people (more so than AO) are complete idiots.
It seems like the majority of people on AO believe that pbn is only what they see in these really stupid threads people post. It wouldn't be hard to go on any forum, and find some stupid posts. PBN just has more of them, guess why? They have over 4 times as many members as AO and nearly 5 times as many posts. I would guess that they have many stupider threads then here on AO.
What is wrong with the old mentality. The short barrel and huge drop might be needed for some players. But to me the old mentality is accuracy with one shot, spray and pray seems to me the new mentality of pb.

Then again balls used to be A LOT more expensive then they are now, so it seems stupid to shoot 1 ball at a time. Accuracy by volume will always be the better way imo
You know, I think the reason that some of us here at AO are fascinated with the primordial-ooze level of maturity of PBN. It is the same thing that causes people to slow down and stare at car accident. A fascination with abomination. if you will. PBN is a smoking car wreck on the information superhighway, and we are just pulling over to check it out.

You are just realizing his now. If I find that thread i will post it here to prove that PBN is a bunch of newbs that don't know what they are talking about. The thread was about rof and this person said he got 18 bps on his spyder then it went to he// from there. People were going into the 30+ range and it was hilarious. I never saw so much trash talking and bsing in my life.
It's very possible (I have seen it) to get a spyder to cycle at 30 cps. Getting it to feed should be possible now.
In PBnation they are a bunch of dumbasses. Whenever you have a question they dont answer they always tell you SEARCH!!!
I've seen that a lot over here as well.
It's threads like this that make AO's low points shine. Stop whining about PBN, they don't care. There are qualities of PBN that far exceed AO. So just shutup.
