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.
As to the topic that started this thread. What does it matter?
Some people buy a gun because they are wrapped up in trying to connect their personal worth to what they perceive as being popular. These people are never happy with a paintgun, regardless of how it performs, because there will always be that next trend to which they need to jump.
Other folks want a paintgun that performs well, and is reliable. For these folks, it doesn't matter how many ads there are for the paintgun, or how many other people are shooting the same kind of paintgun, it just matters that they can trust the paintgun to do its job, and can trust the manufacturer to support them if there is a problem.
The viability of a company is dependent on public perception. If people think that the company is in trouble, then they won't buy its product no matter how reliable it is. If they don't even know that it exists, they certainly won't ask for its product.
Now I agree that if the latest paintball gods were winning tournaments with RT's that every little yard monkey and his pal would be plucking down their moms hard earned cash to by one. Thats human herd nature.
I would just like to see AGD continue to improve its product and keep it in the publics eye. I want to know that in 2014 i can still get o-rings for my mag and RT
