I know most of the forum using scenario players I know, do frequent here, mainly for the for sale section.

Personally, and i'm not speaking for or on behalf of anyone . . I always feel our flavour of paintball is sidelined on p8nt in a punterish sort of way. Our big games, even ones as large as Stargate and NvS, are mixed in besides walk ons under "rec ball" . . to the teams out there, we work our rather sizeable butts off for paintball, helping people, bringing the game forward . .to have our games and genre classed by what is seen as a predominantly tournament oriented site as rec ball or walk ons. This does give me an image of snobbery. Its not deliberate im sure, but it does appear that way. Do people not want Scenario/big games to be classed separately? I would be interested to hear the reasons why they are in with walkon in the first place .. would be like going to a scenario forum and having a "NSPL and Walk on day" section ,, 2 very different sidesto paintball.

I post here, because I want to get threads active, I want people to see games are popular, show what they are about and hopefully encourage attendance, Tippmann challenge threads are a sample of this.

Now you do have to understand scenario paintball has its own forum as you know, and the community has a sickeningly hippie love vibe, which is excellent Alot of guys have been using it for years and very good friends with the other people there, and simply wont post the same things on another forum for the sake of it, or with strangers who, lets be honest, arnt major fans of our type of paintball.

Breaking peoples preconceived misconceptions of what they expect to find on here regarding their version of paintball would be a start.

For example, the Scenario paintball awards this year .. how many people on here know they exist :)




On a side note, you dont see many Scottish Warriors on here, because most of the team are illiterate macdev wielding apes :D

(Ill correct my wordiness tomorrow, drinking has commenced, happy hogmanay!!)

Further to a recent post I think a section for user reviews of paintballs sites would be a good idea, would let users see what a sites like before they go and allow the sites to get honest feedback, obviously something would have to be done to stop people just creating accounts and making awesome reviews of their site. It may also attract newbies to the website who may never of found the site by for example searching for a review of a paintball site they are interested in going to and having a review of one of the sites popping up, now most of them probably wouldn't suddenly start posting on here and playing more but atleast they'd be aware of it now.

Is there no way that we can have the UK Masters back on this forum as there are plenty of teams out there that attend these events and I'm sure like me are readers of this forum.

A "Sticky" in the Scenario/Recball section listing the dates & locations of each of the Super 6 events - so users do not have to go searching for them.

In fact, why not sticky the 2011 CPPS, NSPL and F5 dates in their respective threads whilst you are about it?

No, it is now a minor league I'm afraid .... and the only other reason criteria I allow leagues on my forum is because they are friends of mine like Kitch and John Sosta.
The UK's future in terms of tournament paintball is with the CPPS and NSPL as far as I am concerned ...

Cook$,

Can't picture you as the president, more like the scientist played by Peter Sellers in Dr Strangelove.

Don't know how feasable it is but thinking back to the magazine there was always one or two product reviews. I know we get the press releases but actual in use reviews give an idea how the product stands up in real life.

Comparison tests are also usefull.

Random idea, but... Could we get some kind of counter on our profiles that displays how much time we've spent logged in. Just so we can be depressed about how much of our lives we spend on here :D
