Cheers James, the points tell the tale I suppose and what an emphatic win for Joy Division it seems to be. Magued, Joy Division's owner and coach is a good friend of mine and so I'll call him up and ask him about what he thought about the weekend. As far as I know, all of his guys hail from...

I was unable to get to Nick Truter/Ged Green's fantastic event this past weekend due to family concerns but despite the rain, I'm hearing it was a resounding success both logistically and competition-wise. But what about the tournament itself, between the teams ? I heard that Joy Division...

Ad and O, I’d love to see names such as Malloy and Chong bubble up from the masses if only to hang an article on. Great players in any sport are inspirations for all of us, and unless we have them, our sport will seem flat and relatively uninteresting. It’s true to say that people make up a...

Spikerz - if you need anything, all you gotta do is ask mate !! Also, if you have any ideas or suggestions please don’t be backwards in coming forwards .... new ideas will prove to be our salvation Spikerz and so we need to embrace change .....

As most of you will now know, we've embarked upon a period of change whereby we'll be trying to give you guys a magazine on-line more in keeping with PGi's hallowed position of yesteryear. It'll take time but in the meantime, we've had a quick talk amongst us Mods and we've decided to make @Tom...

I'm thinking of making a come-back O, I'm sure I can get my mum to vote for me again ......

S @Spikerz I’ve got a number of guys who’ve been suggested for interviews which is really cool because I didn’t realise we had that many interesting people in our sport/industry. I’ve known Mark for around 20 years and so we’ve got a lot to catch up on. Hopefully, I’ll get round to...

Jimbo, if the new p8ntballer.com could maybe generate a bit more income then I'd have zero problem paying you to go over to cover the event. I'm not into chasing money as a lot of people are and if I could end up paying you to cover events then I'd be a happy man. I'm not sure how the Mrs might...

One of the best things about paintball - is the people you meet, and the friends you make - some of whom become lasting friends for decades. I've been lucky enough to meet so many great individuals in my time, and Richmond Italia is one of those. He's been responsible for several multi-million...

Most people who'll be reading this will be well aware of what's happening here on P8ntballer, of late. It's been blatantly obvious that if P8ntballer is going to thrive in this social-media online environment we find ourselves immersed in then we'll have to configure our forum along the lines of...

Ahhhh, ‘figure of speech’, the final bastion of many an insult .....

It's hard to believe you took me literally here …. :/ Anyhows, Dup - letting people know we exist has got to be a lot easier than keeping them here … A few FB mentions from people who know what's going on organically disseminates into our paintball fraternity. And surely, if no single...

Ant, I don't think there's gonna be a single approach to attracting site visitors - our sport is closely knit and word gets round soon enough if there's anything worth seeing but I do take your point. I'll continue to write this series of articles that cover the playing of paintball from the...

Just a quick addendum:- I'm not on the front line of competitive paintball anymore and therefore I'm not really up to date with who's who but one of the main reasons PGi and first-iteration P8ntballer.com was, we had personalities … and even better, some of those personalities contested both on...

One thing I'm sure of and that is, we ain't gonna get it right first time around - I don't much like using buzz-words but in this case, I'll make an exception. The new forum will evolve organically - those evolutionary pressures will come from a multitude of sources beginning with the likes of...

Tom, just to qualify something here, you’re right about the basics escaping a lot of people. I wanted to try and document the teaching of our sport from a quasi-scientific position. I wanted to start from bottom up and hopefully develop the understanding of our sport along the way. Some...

Tom, whether you think so or not, you're perfect to write up an article mate. Try not to be too self-conscious when you write and I'm pretty sure you'll be pleased with the outcome and the response. I look forward to reading it ..... Pete

I’ll remind him that paintball isn’t only played in the US :) I’m on it O.

Tom, you are more than welcome to author an article/post and put it up here. If you fancy it, send me your bio and a pic.

I couldn’t have put it better ..... I spose you and I better start stirring shiit up Missy. Where’s Piper when you need him. Come to think of it, where the fuhk has barnett gone

Part One …... To help launch P8ntballer’s rebirth I think it’ll help if we run a series of articles concerning the basics of our game … in the early stages, these articles will focus on the techniques required, the preparation needed and a lot more besides. I’m gonna try and prioritise what...

Pesty - a lot of my paintball friends are Stateside as you know and so I'll see what happens when I rattle a few cages but I have to say, there doesn't seem to be the same environment these days either player-wise or indeed industry-wise. Things went a bit quiet after tb left our industry but I...

Rob - I’m on it !

I gotta say, I haven't missed playing for well over 15 years now but as I watched that video and recognised some old faces, including my brother's of course, I got a twinge to go pick up a marker and shoot the wife from behind the sofa ….. and then I remembered that I've now got L4-L5-L6...

No problem James .....

I forgot to mention something - if any of you guys out there fancy writing on subjects such as techniques, tactics, events etc etc etc, then give me a message and we'll see if we can get something going. I've asked my brother to write some stuff up on Twizz and James' new woodland league and...

P8ntballer.com first appeared our monitors in July 2001 …. ever since then, we've been at the hub of all things paintball. Our heritage has its roots deeply embedded in the long lamented magazine, PGi, and so we tried to follow the same path and keep ahead of events and meaningful commentary...

...... and a side-order of corn on the cob? Comin’ Up !

Hi Mr Hood, re plug ins? If it enhances the site and people will find a use for it then we’ll install them. This revamp is a ‘work in progress’ which pretty much means we’re gonna rely on you guys to tell us what works, what doesn’t and what’s needed. P8ntballer is now a egalitarian...
