Opus Finale .... A Warts an' all Exposé of Paintball's Very Own Megalomaniac

[Robbo]

Dave, point taken and noted mate, no hard feelings but I kinda looked at the number of posts that have been made and compared it to the number of posts that were complaining about my mentioning view counts ... and there was only one, I'll leave you to guess who that was

Try and see it from my angle please, it's important for me and my advertisers to know just what sort of penetration our forum enjoys and one way of letting them know is by posting about our view counts ... all of our industry read these pages Dave not just players.
Take it easy Dave ...

PS As Dave suggests, he likes and appreciates the updates and on that note, the question I want answered is, did barnett manage to hang onto any of the money he might have made over the weekend? ...
This is crucial to barnett for obvious reasons and I should know by about 5pm I hope ... as always, I'll let you know as and when.

You know, I hadn't even thought of the advertisers side of things. Appreciated and understood.

Thanks Pete

Sometimes we all forget to see the big picture.

Also, you're taking a sample from PBNation, 10 x the population of the UK over there and a much higher percentage of them play paintball too. If there are 1 in every 1000 people who play regular ball here, I'd wager it's closer to 6 or even 8 in every thousand over there.

This thread is actually generating its own publicity. Google "tim barnett shoreline" and here are the results.......

I wonder if the paintball awards event were going ahead that a new award should be given ie to the person who deserved one the least? ;-)
Gino should be invited along with Robbo to give it to the winner.....

 

[Spikerz]

Oh man, Gino should release a teary eyed statement saying how he was just trying to be a good distributor and help out paintball in the UK get a quality product, but he was viciously taken advantage of by a person, who basically is a criminal at this point.

I'd laugh at that, then laugh more as the court appearances start to roll in, does the UK have Judge Judy? That'd be a brilliant venue.

Oh for sure, but the task was "If anyone can find a thread anywhere in the world of paintball on another forum with over 193,000 views, I'd be amazed." so I did.

Like I say, the work done and actions taken since the start of this thread is testament to itself. Irrelevant of numbers it's incredible.

Hope you're well Jim

Update: I'm afraid barnett's event at the weekend in Canada didn't go as planned.
Expected numbers for the weekend were 3 to 400
Actual number was in fact 150 to 180

Huge Pyrotecnics display but it was more like a damp squib with a dozen smoke bombs let off at the same time ........ Ooooooh!!!

There was also an apology from barnett to the players at the end of the day because the game-play was poor (Basic attack & Defend game broken into 3 stages and uneven teams.)

It is not expected that Flag Raiders will continue in 2016 after 2 disappointing years and finding out he screwed Gino and Valken out of all that money.

They posted a vid of the pyro thing on FB, was a bunch of fireworks then the smoke bombs, but spectactular it was not.

The 'crowd' seen in the video looks to me to be somewhere around that number though.
