well, its hard not to notice. i told you sacpaintball.com was going to get some work done, and here it is. it may look like just a different skin/look & feel, but its an entirely different website. the forums are completely different. you might notice karma on them. you can praise people, or slap them down for being *******s. there is also a boat load of new functionality in them.

reveiws. these rock. its an entirely different review system with more functinality than u can imagine. im going to try to get the old reviews converted over as i know this is very important to the store and fields, but man it all has to be done by hand and there is about 500 of them so we will have to see.

the entire site, ENTIRE thing is php/mysql. no more perl. no more flat file database which means, THIS THING IS GOING TO BE WAY FASTER!

now i know after 3 years people get used to the look and feel of a website. and some of you dont like the new lighter colors. but here is the deal. after one day, you will have forgotten what the old one looked like. trust me u will. the reason for the black text on lighter colors is because its WAY easier on the eyes and much more professional. and thats the direction we are going.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW about any broken links, any problems with pages, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. i need your feedback.

thanks again for sticking with us and i hope you enjoy the new site!

wow. its nice. the karma idea is really good too. if someone gets the bright idea to bash you repeatedly...how would tht be prevented? just wondering. i give tec a high five ;D

*EDIT*
can you utilize the right side of the screen? its totally blank...and im feeling a bit cramped. :D

cool feature. it would be even better if you know who "high 5" or "bash" you. but then again, it wouldn't be fun. thanks for all the "upgrades"
