sorry, but i really don't agree with this. there's no reason for tippmann to put out so much effort over something that doesn't make them any money. if we keep harassing them about it, they're just as likely to remove it altogether.

I guess they'll all have to come to chat then

I expect one of several results.

  1. Jason will fix everything
  2. we will get ignored
  3. Jason will fix just the IP banning and IP ban me (partial success)
  4. Tippmann will totally remove the forum, and lose support.

how long did you give jason? it is entirely possible that he has a life beyond the forum, and a job, and hasn't been able to get to the forum for...who knows how long, I don't, it's been a while. But seriously. Maybe it's pretty serious and he hasn't been able to commit enough time to getting it done? It's always something man, I'm just saying...trying to solve it this way probably won't get anything done.

s'right, I do a webcomic and I update it like every two months. go go!

ummm, Kiolia, his job is as Tippmann's IT. Its been broken for months, ever since he upgraded to this version. I also gave him a week, and he totally ignored all previous e-mails we sent him. We had a post similar to this one a week ago, but they were all to Jason. I also asked to be polite to him in THAT post.

Eventually this forum will just sink down and then there won't be any mods. Then Tippmann will just forget about it and it will become a garbage heap. Right now as it stands, this forum makes PBnation look good. Which is why I'm spending more and more time there and in chat.

This is exactly what i said in the first thread. FOr all we know, its his part time job, or maybe he is actually trying to fix it, but is unsuccessful. I would rant more, but its early.

OK people, Do realize, It is Jason's job as tippmanns IT to manage the site and make sure everything is working properly, which for over two months now, it has'nt...


And I dont care if it is his part time job, the star system is a simple code,  Could take him under an hour to fix it, The software is easy enough to update, and the IP ban, might be a bit more complicated but still... I mean honestly.


I agree completly with The Guy, Jasons getting paid to do this, he should make sure he deos it properly.

Not quite, Enos is damned close to just not modding anymore

our only active mods quits, anarchy shall erupt.

I told you before, bothering other people at tippmann about this will just piss people off.

I wouldnt do it if i were you.

Ive come to the conclusion that tippmann flat out doesnt care about the forum. Its understandable from a purely money-making business standpoint, its something on their site that sucks massive amounts of bandwith for no gain. Although that depends on how you look at things, such as the amount of respect AGD gets for automags.org, and the fact that tom kaye actually has some connection to his customers on it.

Oh well.

maybe we should just cause a big scene with massive cussing and large amounts of animal porn. Then....maybe...they will listen?

Begging to become gold is pathetic... wow you get seniority,
and the chance to get into the Regulars forum(They make
some dumb threads anyway)

I dont care for the Star System. The only thing I want back is the
IP Ban so we Can Start Banning the Rebels.

Also while I'm sitting here whinning, I'd like to point out that this
TIPPMANN Sight is becoming less of a tippmann Sight and
more of a WGP/Intimidator/Dye Forum... Everyone is buying
into Hype, when they do buy a certin product they cant even
use it to its full potential.
