There is so much wikimarkup telling us to clean it up, I'm surprised they haven't deleted it (again).

Huh, that's funny, I don't remember being a member of a factory team....

That said, as far as I know, OMHW was NEVER a factory team of tippmann. There were/are members of the tippmann engineering dept on the team, but to be a "Factory Team" means that every member of the team works for the company that has set them up. I.E. Lockout from Professional Paintball, The All-Americans (a while back) and Avalanche (as late as 2000).

I know I never received anything from Tippmann what-so-ever when I played with/participated in the OMHW. Now, the OMHW were the defacto FORUM team, but that's a different story.

I remember being on the forum and talking about when the Model-98's came out. 1999 may be a wrong date. Carbines were the mainstay gun at that time. And Tallen is correct. OMHW was never a "factory team" although we were sponsered by Tippmann (thank you very much) and a couple guys who worked there were on the team. Infact, the guy who invented the Flatline ("Engineer") is on the team.

I could put some of Old Red on there. Finally getting around to making new grips for it. I think I am going to fiberglass route.


No, we're not talking about some random marker of yours...

Search for http://www.tippmann.com - www.tippmann.com  and experiment with the dates it gives you. I tried one for January 18, 2002 and I was able to enter what I think is Old Blue. Almost none of the threads work, but here's one that does: http://web.archive.org/web/20011226131432/www.tippmann.com/forum/topic.asp?topic_id=32193&forum_id=5&Topic_Title=Pro-Carbine+or+98+Custom+?&forum_title=Thoughts+and+Opinions&M=False&S=True - http://web.archive.org/web/20011226131432/www.tippmann.com/f orum/topic.asp?topic_id=32193&forum_id=5&Topic_Title =Pro-Carbine+or+98+Custom+?&forum_title=Thoughts+and+Opi nions&M=False&S=True

Except for the fact that this "random marker" is the one he is talking about. The red 98 with the Matrix LCD board signed by Lockout and others.
We're talking about "Old Red", a nickname for the forum back when Tippmann.com had the red layout.

Well then I hate myself.

EDIT: I was kind of confused why Rapid Fire would even reference the two guns in the first place. But I felt special because "Oh hey, I have that!" Piss it. You guys can hate me too if you want.

The original had only three sub-forums. New Player - Thoughts and Opinions - Maintenance and Repair.  And you could reply to a reply. It wasn't all linear like this one. Pepprdog was the only mod for a long time then Shorty got some rights to help out.

Damn... Freezing rain outside the window now. When will spring ever show up?

Think "Tinker's Guild" layout over at Docsmachines.

And RS, where's my free Tippmann Schwag then? HMMMM??? Where's my piece of the pie?

Sure just because I didn't spend the night in the Casa Del Amore
