Could Anyone Help? House burned with all paintball equipment in it...

[Ball Buster]

Hey Guys,

A week ago Sunday, my girlfriend's 12 year old little brother's house burned to the ground, along with all of his paintball equipment... I was talking to his mother and she told me how all of it has been burned.. nothing more than a pile of ashes now.. So, I started thinking of ways that I might could help him.. and then I thought of you guys...

Anyway, the house that burned was his dad's house.. His father is a wee bit greedy when it comes to the money and he was more worried with his own collection of "real" guns.. so the paintball guns will not be reported to the insurance company (if they were Micah would never see the money anyway.) Anyway, I know alot of us tend to get paintball gear and have more than we can use alot of the time and stuff begins to sit...

So, I'm going to make a plea to all you AO'ers out there... If you have something that isn't getting any use and are maybe looking for a "good home" for it.. PLEASE let me know.. I've got some stuff I can give him, but it's nothing that will help him get "playing" any sooner.. And I want to get him back up and "shooting" as soon as possible and I thought so of you guys might be able to help somehow... anything would be great and would be greatly appreciated..

If you would be interested in helping out, please shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]...

Thanks alot guys..

If it helps, this guy is a bud of mine and a player at my local field. I can vouch for his honesty, although I can understand the concern. Jeff's cool.

Jeff, sorry about your bud. I'll see what I can do. I might be able to donate my revvy. I'll scrounge around.

Hmmm I'll see what I can do........he wouldn't be interested in a speedcollar with G.O.T and a JT pack with 2 speedpods, would he?


Hysperion I'm not sure but I think that was UDT's way of saying stop being such a prick. If Load trusts him I don't see why I can't.

Offer if you want. Believe if you want. Or don't believe and offer anyway. Or believe and don't offer. Or Don't believe and don't offer. But don't offer anymore than you can afford to lose. Or just ignore it all if you want. I don't know or care if it's true. I waited till I saw a member I felt I could trust back it up and then I offered stuff I can afford to lose on his word.

You forgot "Or believe and offer."

I'm with MagHog on this one. If you don't believe him, or don't care either way, then just don't send him anything. He stated the problem and asked for donations. If you don't like it then don't bother with the situation at all. Don't send him anything. Its that simple. He obviously knows that AO is not an insurance agency; he was simply making a request. There was no need to tell him to get a job. That was totally out of context, and quite ridiculous.

Aren't we allowed to have any fun any more? And turn into a flame? We better stop so AO doesn't burn down too.

I said only post if offering to help! What part of that is so hard to understand? I am deleting all irrelevant posting other than that.


Since when did we all become so Cynical?
