Paintball Headlines

68Caliber.com, which I’m not going to link to, ever again, has a nice friendly article saying that they don’t allow anyone to reproduce their articles.
That’s understandable. No one wants someone taking your whole articles and reproducing them somewhere else claiming them as their own. That’s just not that cool.
But they don’t stop there. You now […]

So the site paintballguns.net (yes, their name includes the .net part), acquires PB-addict.com. Not sure what the whole terms were, but I think it went something like this:
paintballguns.net- Hey, I’ll give $50 for pb-addict.com
pb-addict.com- $50? Hell yeah, man. Should we warn people of this?
paintballguns.net- No, no, they’ll be more likely to leave them. Let’s just […]

Between the post, PBshots. Useless, and the post, PBshots, Slightly Less Useless, I talked to Andrew, the owner of mobzor.com.
He told me how he came up with the idea for a “myspace for paintball,” put the site online, and quickly found that at least two others had already implemented the same idea.
 His comments were very similar to […]

PbShots, the photo hosting site Mobzor launched, has upgraded their limits for free users.

Now, you have 1 GB (technically, 1000 MB, 24 MB short of a gig) of space, which is still half of what Photobucket offers. No mention of an increase in bandwidth though. But it still hilariously says the limit is 20/255 […]

Dye launched a redesign of Dyematrix.com.
If you think they got rid of the gaudy flash, think again. It’s still all done in flash, except for the forums which are using the ever so mediocre Invision Power Boards. It even has some sort of music playing on the home, which the mute button is […]

Or better know as selling it.
Last week, Andrew, the owner of PbReview, announced that he had sold Pbreview.com to Demand Media. No monetary amount was disclosed, but my guess is in the $100k range.
PbReview, according to Alexa, is the second largest paintball related site, right after PbNation, though that still puts it at […]

MobZor, the social network site running phpFoX and now PHPizabi, has launched another turnkey site, PbShots, a paintball image hosting site.

It’s like Photobucket or Flickr, but crappier with horrible limits and only for a niche market. Like 20 MB of space, compared to 2 GB with Photobucket and 100 MB a month with Flickr. Or […]

PbNation implemented a new feedback system yesterday.
First, in order to just to understand it, you have to read 3 pretty damn long posts. After that, it should be simple right? Meh. First, you have to find the little tiny link next to the report the post link. Great placement geniuses. Expect a lot a […]
