Hello everyone, As some of you have already heard, Mr. Neuer, the former IT specialist and forum administrator, is no longer an employee here, for various reasons. I, Doug Spieth, am the new IT specialist, and I've been quite busy getting settled in and familiarizing myself with what needs to be done here on a daily basis. It was brought to my attention late Friday afternoon that the forum has many technical problems. At this time, I can assure all of you that the forum will be updated and running smoothly within the next week or two. Thank you for your patience in this matter. I did not post this via the "Administrator" account, for the simple reason that I needed to register my own name here anyway, and now would be as good a time as any to introduce myself to all the Tippmann enthusiasts around. There are big changes in the works, just sit tight for a few more weeks until we can sort out what needs doing, and how to go about doing it! Best regards, Doug Spieth, Tippmann IT Specialist |

Apu said Enos called Tippmann and thats when he learned Jason left and Doug took over. However I have an odd feeling too that this might be a prank from chat, seeing as justa fter Apud posted that thread Doug came and said hey. Oh well, I cant wait to see this place get fixed up.
