Man it must have been bad if they had to close the site to fix it It was an obvious hack just by the way he wrote the letter the chance off Brass Eagle going under is slim.

Oh and the site will be back up in 24 hrs(from their site)

[forsaken502]

There is no way they will go out of business. In January I had to do a marketing project on them (business class) and I read their financial statements. They are makeing more money now than they ever have before.

Y are they taking legal action all the hacker did was spreed a little joy. with reminds me of a song with i will now sing i now rename it

"i did it yes i know the hacker song"

I'm mixing up a bunch of magic stuff
A magic mushroom cloud of care
A potion that will rock the boat will rock
Make a bomb of love and blow it up

I did it
Do you think I've gone too far
I did it
Guilty as charged
I did it
It was me right or wrong
I did it
Yeah

I never did a single thing that did a single thing to
Change the ugly ways of the world
I didn't know it felt so right inside
I didn't know it at all
Open up the curtains I heard sirens there the lights flash and crawl
I did it justice I just did it for the buzz

It's a nickel or a dime for what I've done
The truth is that I don't really care
For such a lovely crime I'll do the time
You better lock me up I'll do it again

I did it
Do you think I've gone too far
I did it
Guilty as charged
I did it
It was me right or wrong
I did it
Yeah

I never did a single thing that did a single thing to
Change the ugly ways of the world
I didn't know it felt so right inside
I didn't know it at all
Open up the curtains I heard sirens there the lights flash and crawl
I did it justice I just did it for the buzz

All you people are the skewers of our dreams
Like the cat collared me
Oh what I gotta say to you got love don't
Turn it down
Turn it loud
Let it build
We got a long way to go
But you gotta start somewhere
Go door to door spread the love you got
You got the love
You get what you want
Does it matter where you get it from
I for one
Don't turn my cheek for anyone
Unturn your cheek to give your love
Love to grow


thank you i know. see it makes sense cuz all the hacker was doing was making us happy!

[Richy_C]

incube, spam will not be tolerated

[bulldog76]

that was funny. It was obvious that it couldn't have been BE saying that

[PiranhaPro]

Its alos obvious that it was a kid. Do you see how many typos they had? Sheesh, you'd think they would make it somewhat correct.

[toadman7b22]

well they will be caught and they will b in a **** load of trouble....

[CDietz]

and your on their subscription list because...???

[Lucifer Bob]

Oh well... It was pretty funny and I was gullible enough to actually beleive it... even though Brass Eagle does make sh***ty markers and all like someone said they do get alot of ppl into this wonderful sport... Let's hope BE stops making sh*** and does something good with the Avenger marker...

[Schweitzer]

some kids are just plain stupid
