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.
ps-
Funny you mention the Uber RT pin.. I built one as well(scary how easy it is to do!, but I was not going for runaway RT trigger.. was for another project all together... mosty for testing.
Well, not really but Im sure most of the people here don't know who I am. I represent the dinosaur age of automags.org. Back when this site was a private site owned by an enthusiast like you and me.
I took a long hiatus from paintball for a while then I came back for a little bit then I went on another hiatus. I am not involved in paintball as much as I used to be but I do enjoy the game in my spare time.
I see alot has changed both here and in the industry. I have always known and hoped paintball would become mainstream as it has. But not in the way I ever thought it would. The roots of the sport are receeding... the people who started the industry back when the game was just a novelty, are begining to be forgotten... Nowhere to be found under the haze of flashy cookie cutter guns banged out like copies of microsoft windows. Nowhere to be found the little guy making truely custom works trying to make it in a jungle of corprate lions, nowhere to be found the game as it used to be. Alas that is another discussion.
Im back... for now enjoying the viceral essence of the game as it once was. Questions?... ask away I know or more (or less) than you think I know... Just another peon playing the game.
Still goin fine. Still doing the medical stuff, well dental stuff to be more accurate. Glad to see the some of the old veterans here. Glad to see Tuna still has a live and hopefully profitable business going.
Alot has changed since I was here like the paintball industry had just went through a nuclear war and all thats left are a few cocroaches and rats running the industry picking away and scavenging at what was left of true innovation and hoarding it for themselves with litigation and clever yet morally bankrupt underhanded business practices. Unlike a nuclear war I don't think the true pioneers of the industry ever banded together in the proverbial fallout bunker to one day repopulate the industry. Alot of them just gave up, belly up.
I found my Air America Raptor warranty card mixed in with my equipment and promptly wasted 37 cents sending it out only to find out they went under. LOL? Air America!!??!?! They played a part in actually inventing and marketing HPA with AGD of course... The next 2 hours involved me searching for on ebay and buying up a good stock of parts for my AA raptor so that I will never EVER have to use a smart parts/dye/WGP ect... product. So... if any of you have any AA parts you want to get rid of let me know... I fear never will we ever find a reg as reliable, durable, and easy to service as the original AA raptor. With a few exceptions, most airsystems nowadays are just chintzy garbage just durable enough not to be a health threat to the end user.
Did you hear about the new european weapons contracts? France is going to make the wooden sticks Spain making the little white flags
Now let me see if I remember this correctly... Weren't you the one who figured out to use the uh... ahem... personal lubricant, to make your warpfeed work with Advantage paint?
Wow glad to see that alot you guys are still around. Nice to see that Tom is still around and Army (im assuming) is back from his tour of duty.
Haha the sleepstrike. Yeah that ended. It wasent a total waste though I got some good study time in during those restless nights. Honestly Ive been so busy with school I dont have much time to do much of anything else. I got back into the game because some of my buddies owns some property up around here and he wanted to get a few people together to play good old fashoned woodsball to relive some stress. It works... playing the game ends up being a treat and a great stress releiver.
Im sure I have those videos somewhere. I got a new computer so I archived the stuff on many many cd's. I just gotta dig through them one day to bring them back.
