      Haha, quite funny. I believe Manike noticed the similarities in their IP's and such.

      Never saw Advantage as a real company...

        I thought Advantage advertised (and paid for advertising) on PB Nation... if this is so kudos to them for being upstanding...

        If however, the cancelled there advertising and then this happened, well one has to question it.

        I'm going to think its number one, and its a great movement by the nation (whatever you think of there content) to operate in a manner not swayed by there advertisers. Good job

            Wow, PBN users can be jerks, but I never thought fraud... I guess I'm not on there enough to really know, though... Oh well... Kudos, PBN, for making your forum page a little better! (Now if we could get them to stop bashing me about prefering my 68 Mag over a Timmy...)

              Kudos.. I don't like PB nation but there is no questioning the integrity of this move, especially if Manike was behind it

                      advantage doesnt do a damn thing, they out source all of their code. There goes their market!

                      i hated the cheating bastards any way, i dont see how people trusted a company that chaged people upwards of 200 dollars for a cheater chip.

                      good riddance.

                      Will and Tag are the true innovators of code in paintball, honorable mentions go to Egi and Rocky Knuth for the nox board.

                        also, i forgot to mention, in their beginnings, advantage would spam members of pbn via email to try and sell their product.

                          I think this type of activity, openly by competing businesses or by using cover accounts, should be prohibited on all forums.

                            Advantage did pay to advertise on PBN. PBN took this decision to cut AdvantagePB out anyway and they will lose a significant sum because of it.

                            It makes me proud to be involved with the people that run PBN when they can take such action and make such decisions even at financial loss to themselves.

                            The number of false accounts was astounding, and the way the false accounts attacked other manufacturers such as Tadao and TAG made me sick once we started investigating it in depth.

                            I don't think false accounts giving positive feedback and attacking competition should be allowed on any forums. I hope forums such as this and PBReview etc. Look a little deeper into some of their posters now.

                              Isn't new.. This is the same tactic used by the good 'ole 3a paintball folks when they got banned from PBreview and Ebay... now they have a new name, but same old same old...

                              Glad they got cauhgt... Fraud sucks.
