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.
first off... csi: miami sux... vegas is waaay better.... they had a lvl7 hopper right minimag with no elbow on the pf... kinda lame... i really wish the media would stop picking on PB... i dont wanna sound like a whiner... but damn.. make a show about something productive.... wait... there is no such thing.... sounded just like a crown point barrel in the car scene..

Yup because the media is intentionally picking on paintball... thats it...
Its the normal internet blowing things way out of proportion.
Taking a long needed leave of the sport to finish school and tour the country
It was definitely a crown point barrel--no arguments (have to love rewind and slo-mo!)
My wife was tired of hearing me gripe about the bad publicity for paintball and especially for AGD! (but she agreed, which is rare...)

All of the CSI clones are so out of touch with reality it's not funny. If it wasn't for Calleigh Duquesne, I wouldn't be watchin' it! A blonde with a southern accent and a gun... that's hot.
Paintball is still a growing sport and a simple tv show isn't going to stop it. People that would recognise a mag already know about how safe the sport is. Hopefully an episode like this will distract people who don't know anything about paintball guns from shooting people in public with them. I see it as a positive thing. Any publicity is good.
Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
Not that I'm defending the use of paintball on TV but PUHLEEZE these things are taken straight from the papers (except the old man dying) everyday stupid people only buy paintball guns to do the VERY thing they showed on CSI , shoot up cars and shoot at unsuspecting people on the side of the road. I don't see murderers complaining about the way they are portrayed in the media

How many other things have been used to commit crimes on TV shows? Is it an affront to golf or baseball if clubs or bats are used? Is it an attack on chefs if a chef's knife is used?
Should the forestry industry be upset about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre?
I'm sure ABC would be happy to recieve an email badmouthing CBS shows.
well they probably would, actually.

cause they actually did something wrong... paintballers are complaning about a negative portrayal that we dont deserve, since we have never done anything like this. although i do beleive that things are blown out of proportion and that this will probably have no effect whatsoever.
