I thought this place had gone completely belly-up... I couldn't get to OMHW.NET for a long time. Tried at least twice in the space of a year and no dice. But here we are...
Hey everybody. I'm hella busy, but looking at getting back into paintball on occasion. The old AutoMag just ain't gonna do for a comeback, so I went over to "Mother" to post a topic about what I should look at getting.
Hope everybody's doing well... Or doing, at least...

Sandman, nice to see you back. Ya know a lot of us are getting up in years and the paintball picture is not looking very good, a lot of us have gone on to other things. Remember, a lot of us played the game and did the travel with our kids. For a great many of us Kids are gone and due to the state of the economy, the cant't aford what we did 12 years ago. I have not played paintball in almost 2 years. Many of the others are about the same as me. Your young enough to keep it going. Keep at it and us informed.
Randy

I have to say, it's great to hear from you after all this time. It's also good to hear things seem to be a lot better for you than the last contact. Wish I could get somewhere to play but like Randy said, it's been quite a while. All we do now is get together and throw a bunchof lead down range once or twice a year.

Lured any young boys into your tent lately, Big Al? Heh... I don't even remember where that comes from, but I remember something about threatening forum members with that line of punishment.
Carrr's a name I haven't seen in a LONG time. Yeah, getting older every day, but still... I consider these years, my middle 30's, as probably the best years of my life. Old enough to be wily but young enough to be mostly at the top of my game still.
Peppr, man, I don't know what exactly was wrong the last time we spoke, but it could be any one of a number of things. Destroyed my knee in 2005, had some other fairly serious health problems relating to chronic acid reflux shortly thereafter, and have since been busting my ever loving backside by simultaneously working the evermore productive software engineering career (now a database specialist) and whipping myself back into better shape than the Marine Corps ever imagined. The first couple years of that were ROUGH after nearly 10 years of completely letting myself go. Oh, and a stint as a (god forbid) semi-professional poker player in the middle that turned out almost as badly as one could imagine (up big numbers, down much bigger numbers).
Strangely enough, the guy who originally got me into paintball is the same guy who's now luring me back in... Except now it's less that I really want to play and more that I wanna hang out with my old friend (who still plays with my old ProLite).
But hell, it's been long enough that I could write a VERY long post here, but I'll resist the temptation. Hopefully I'll drop in more often than once ever leap year.

Oh, I bet you're talking about the 2003 - 2004 era when my brother passed away. Yeah... That was the sort of thing one hopes not to repeat.
In any case, as you can tell, there's a list... LOL.
