    Virtue Banned from PBN!

    I'm glad to see PBN chose integrity over money. There's still some kind of good in the paintball community.

          Old news as previously stated.

          Vitutue makes knock off (Tadao/TAG) cheater boards. Marketed as such well before the ramping modes were allowed. So now its just an enhanced tournament board.

          Anyways they we conducting illegal corporate SPAM on message boards with fake usernames bashing other products and praising Virtue. They were also paying for banner advertisements on PbN, PbN decided to do the 'right thing' and pull the ads (lose the $$$) and ban Virtue and its fake accounts.

                your kidding right? When advantage first made its stuff (the boards which only purpose was cheating) i wasnt a big fan, but, its not a scam or ripoff at all if thats what you wanted.

                And the virtue boards they are putting out now are great, have all the firing modes you need, and work super. Id say they work as well as tadao, but with more firing modes to mess with if you feel the urge.

                I do play for an advantagepb sponsored team but, ive been using tadao for a good while (no virtue for vikings yet), but, now getting virtue in our new angels, and, ive got no problem with that, the virtue boards are good products, otherwise i just wouldnt use them.

                  advantage is just a crappy company, and i would never shoot their products, especually after they tried to dupe the nation.

                  Also, why would any one trust a company who charged users over 200 dollars for a 35 dollar cheater chip?

                    Why would anyone trust a company who made products whose purpose was to cheat - considering they hid modes of fire and had modes meant to help you cheat and not get caught. And you trust this company based on there practiced ethics?

                          Yes, they sponsored PBN, they put PBN in thier magazine ads. Allegedly, the Advatage PB people lied about thier products or some such, so PBN banned them. There was a small group of employees and testers, most got banned. I don't know the details and such, just an overview.

                            for the full overview, go to pbn, type in virtue, and let the filter get it. it will leave you with a link explaining everything. Baisically Manike found it odd that 20+ users were comming from the same IP talking about how great their virtue was, bashing other products, and never once mentioning that they were employees of adv, pb. this is illegal, false advertising.

                              LOL.....dude made chips that people were willing to pay for. He filled a niche in the market. He did this to make money, not an example in ethics.
