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.
Last IAO, mine randomly worked, then didnt. And sometimes it would continue firing, even when I wasnt on the trigger (or holding the gun, as some may remember). Its always been finicky, at best. Even after being worked over by the AGD techs (thanks Kayle). But, again, it is the FIRST one out there. So, it has that going for it. But, its now retired. So, meh.

Spyders have always been dubbed as very reliable markers.
1) no, spyders never were very reliable
2) spyders arent timmies
3) ill take the timmy
4) no... no they still arent the same thing.
1) Spyders had a very simple design and probably outsold any other gun (except for maybe Tippmann and that would have been within the last few years). Spyders were always reliable (to a knowledgeable person), why do you think they sold so well?
2) You're right. They aren't the same gun. They have the same mechanical operation with a differet board, noid, body, lpr and valve. They're way different.
3) Take all the timmy you want. I'll stick with my mags.
4) Point already established.
5) I apologize for the responses being off subject.

All my friends spyders (ranging from a sonix to an electra even to a hammer) have to replace their bolts yearly and have had leaking problems. And its not like they throw them in the closet after each time they play, they actually clean them. They sold so well because if you look at walmart or ebay for a cheap paintball gun, all you see is spyders. And their some of their models are barely different from each other. Im not questioning the spyders success just their reliability
Ive owned several spyders, and folks Ive played with have had a ton of them.. if you care for em and oil them before playing they are very reliable... but the bolts do seem to wear a lot.

It has gone so far off track from the begining it isn't worth a penny. Wish I could delete it, but I got bumped from the 1st chair spot when Mark combined the threads. Not his fault, but it really bombed from the get go.
