I dont .. I quit right after the 2004 Commanders Cup in San Diego. Got totally turned off on the sport after that event and went cold turkey LOL.

HAHAHA That made me laugh......

Yes I agree paintball is way manlier then shooting at each other with little clear colored plastic pistols. Oh Im sorry, Plastic rifles too. If someone has a metal airsoft gun, I appologize, because it automaticly makes it way manlier.

meh.....still not that funny

[lopxtc]

Go figure

I was there too. That event was the last straw that turned me off to tourney ball as well.

For me it came down to the fact that we were paying X amount of dollars to go all the way out to San Diego to play at best 32-40 mins of paintball. Assuming 4 or 5 mins per game, and only the eight games not counting semi-finals or finals.

Not to mention the fact that after hearing myself on tape playing a few games, I realized that there was no way I wanted my kids around watching me play and hearing me play. LOL ... not a good thing. The game wasnt any fun anymore ... and I had started playing back in 1991.

I still hang around here just lurking and saying something every now and then LOL.

doh! the pretty frame probably would have made it funny

[geekwarrior]

Im hearing it all over. Players whove been around for 10+ years saying the game isnt fun anymore. Obviously these players, including yourself, have gone through the many changes that paintball has seen since 1991. So it isnt that we are the "old guys who dont like change".

Good to see you are still hanging around. There are lots more lurkers these days, understandably.

so how do you go about making it fun again?

Find whats fun about it, and do that. Refuse to play any other way that isnt fun.

QFT, thats what I do, its just that I hear so much from people (at least on here) about how it used to be fun. I still manage to enjoy myself. Having AO days and still having friends that play is 75% of it though, and maybe thats were other people are losing out.
