We look back at this year and see so many good things that have happened. We have added over 500 members to a fresh new paintball community that has crossed boundries of playing style and forged ahead with a concept that is simple. If you love paintball you are one of us! I have seen veteran players coach 12 year olds on equipment ideas and 14 year olds teach a thing or two to a veteran. I sit back and smile at the interactions and that this site has lived up to the concept. A paintball social network dedicated to profiling players and their teams.
Early on Team Red Dawn led by Red Commander helped shape this site and bring the flavor to add new members. Their belief is that the site has to revolve around the forums. It will take some time, but our forums will become more active as the membership grows.
Many strong individuals joined us like Junky Jay who has been a strong supporter. New teams found us like 5150TacticalPaintall and T.A.G.U.R.I.T. They represented us at D-Day and highlighted the good paintball players can do with their effort at Children's Hospital in Colorado. Team T-pog found us on Facebook and have centralized their team hear on the site soon after. Out west the Az_Browncoats were spreading the word about our site. In the north Team Phalanx from the Chicago area has represented.
Representing us internationally is Team Stalk and Destroy based in Japan and spreading the word about our site and Red Dot Paintball. Individuals and teams from Canada have been regular supporters and lately our local Washington contingent is starting to come alive as we strive to find the answer to bring paintball back to the Tri-Cities area here in our state.
As I am writing I see how we have crossed not only playing style boundries but also geographic boundries. What a difference just 9 months has made. Given we have a great foundation, we believe great things will come in the next 12 months. I belive in setting goals and I hope that we balloon by a 1000 more in 2010.
Make no mistake, each and every member here is as important as the last. I am merely, highlighting some of the things that have brought us to this point. Building on Team Red Dawn's ideas, we have taken the approach that we want this site to be much much more than another forum. There are plenty of those and many of them are very goodl. We want to be differant and we are. We want to give you tools to organize, ways to communicate, a place to have fun and blow off some steam. We are not finished yet, but we certainly feel we have come a long ways with all of your help.
For this we are thankul and PaintballGuns.Me wishes each and everyone a fantastic holiday season and happiness, health and fortune in 2010!
Sincerely and Best Regards,
