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