but you know I am sick and tired of this crap.

So, you can be sick and tired of something, and complain up and down about it, and do things to bring it upon yourself, and it's okay.

But when we're sick and tired of having to wade through post after post of unintelligible drivel, we have to keep quiet and ignore it? When good posters get permbanned, and a crappy poster who does the same exact thing gets off scot-free, we have to sit by and ignore it?

If you didn't want to hear what myself and the rest of the "Thorde" has to say, you would have put us all on ignore a long time ago. You might as well admit it. You want to see what we have to say. You want to see what's going to happen next. You're on the edge of your seat, with those little Cheeto-stained fingers of yours desperately hitting F5 for the latest fix of your favorite guilty pleasure.

So, we turn your arguements around. If you don't want to hear what we have to say, put us on your ignore lists. You've said the same to us time and time again. Don't like the thread? "Ignore it." Don't like the spelling? "Ignore it." Don't like the poster? "Ignore it."

Why don't you take your own advice, and just deal with it.

I have double quoted your post so I cannot be accused of taking anything out of context but the second quoted part.......that door swings both ways, if ATM annoys you so much then don't pick on him or reply in a thread he makes since you also have the same option to use the ignore button.

This is my point. I am only using an arguement that has been used against me and other members time and time again. I understand that the door swings both ways. I'm merely trying to show others that.

Ok fair enough, just that to use that arguement when directed as you did in your last post towards a specific user it came across as a double standard when you have previously not applied the same logic to your posting but if your post now means that you are now going to adhere to that arguement, very few of your threads/replys should get altered

[BigEvil]

Alright, I'll admit I haven't exactly been around much myself. Why? Well, because I have a career now that I have to focus on, the college days are over and after spending four years on this forum, I just feel like I need to spend time elsewhere.

I've noticed if there's one consistency with human behavior, it's to always reminisce the past and usually in a more postive light than the current status quo. Look, I've been here since a couple months before AGD bought this forum and turned it into the first paintball forum owned and operated by a manufacturer. We had our share of problems even when the forum had 600 members. It was just on a smaller scale than today. With more people there's more problems and that "second home" feeling a lot of us had with the forums slowly disintegrated away.

I see there being two options a forum like this could go with... 1) Get to a point where it feels comfortable with the membership level, stop new memberships and turn into club of the same people sitting around the fire BS'n about the same stories over and over or leave membership open to everyone, continue to meet new intriguing people and create new friendships.

Of course, with the good comes the bad, but as long as the good continue to participate, this forum will continue to thrive.

BEST POST EVER

Don't like the thread? "Ignore it." Don't like the spelling? "Ignore it." Don't like the poster? "Ignore it."

Yeah, that works for a while, but eventually becomes like spam in your e-mail. At first it's not a major problem, but after a while there is less legitimate stuff than there is useless crap, and to sort through it to find what you're looking for is often not worth the time.

Hopefully, in three to five years, you will be kicking yourself.

There is nothing technical left to talk about all the mag problems have been dealt with and answers are located in the forums.

The thrill is certainly gone now that I know nothing new is coming from AGD. I remember years ago looking forward to logging on with hopes of seeing something new that Tom was working on. The whole experience of AO was exciting simply because people felt like they were apart of AGD...

That sums it up for me.

Tom needs to change his mind and develope something new. I need some good diversions right now...


BTW, Am I part of the NorCal group? I know I didn't make it to a lot of the "events", but I did make a few.

For what it's worth, I was part of the LPB "incident", just not publicly so.

Better effiency?
The ability to shoot lower into the tank?
A proactive anti-chop solution?
A production electro-frame?
A non-reactive, definetly tournament legal trigger system?

Duh. Of course. :)

/heck we even let Steelrat still "be a NorCal'er"

[DiRTyBuNNy]

That's perfect. Well said TP. It's just like when they asked the people who complain about Howard Stern why they kept listening to him. They all said pretty much the same thing, "I wanted to hear what he was going to say next"
Despite being tempted to put people on my ignore list, I freely admit to a morbid curiosity. Their posts may annoy the hell out of me, but part of me wants to see just how bad they can get. This tends to result in some entertaining comedy or drama, so in the end it's all good.
