Is PBR being imitated

[FireViper]

Just got an email from a site called 247-pbreview.com . Seems to me the may be trying to use pbr's notoriety to get traffic. The name and even the layout of the products (I like how they had it divided by a gun's accesories) Just thought I'd bring this to the forums attention.

[Helmut]

Get 'em Andrew!

[chibissj]

technically as long as he doens't take the exct words out of reviews here it won't matter.

But anyway...that site is good to...why bash helpful sites?

[SwordfishIII]

*Grabs pitchfork
Let's get 'em

[teufelhunden]

That's the manufacturer description. Images are prolly manufacturer's too.

[camoman5000]

Hmmmm....that is interesting....that website probably won't be around for too long, it's also really new.

[Helmut]

That site is horrible. The store reviews are this

kd
kjdfksdj

Visit kd


What's that? The forums don't even work fot me...

[PeYToN-SS]

Every thing is the same at that site. The layout is the same, they just took different graphics. They just took every product in the review section of PBR and put it there.

[Helmut]

Even the flash reviews!

[[Infusion]BigC]

Half the buttons don't seem to work (like the search function) and I think theres only like 3 reviews total on the site.

Yeah... why not just come here for the real stuff.

We should take 'em out for slandering the pbreview name with their crappy site.

From one of the flash reviews on pbreview

They'd better watch themselves...

Do you guys think this is actually the first time this has happened?

:biglaugh:

I don't want any of you guys starting trouble over there, k? You know how much you hate it when people come here and do that...

So 50 threads titled "PBREVIEW.COM PWNZ j00Z P0Z3|2Z!!" posted in less then a minute on their forum is out of the question then?

jk :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Helmut]

The forums don't even work.:rolleyes:

[FlyingBeefStew]

You know, they could probably be sued or something...

Forget negotiations! It's go time!:flagrun:

*puts away the spoon and the jars*

They're graphics look kind of cool, but I'm having issues trying to read the words. I seriously doubt that they will make it, because who the Hell wants to type 247-pbreview.com when they can just type pbreview.com?

lol .
AN94>AK47

seriously though, it wouldnt be good for our (pbr member) rep if we (pbr members) spammed up their forums. they are probably mostly newbies anyway,


my post may insult those who may or may not be members of 247-pbreview.com. So sorry, but from my perspective, thats what 247 seems to be. Honestly , get the forums up and running. The link for the forum is the same as for the "home"

I think Andrew has said before that he won't take any action, mainly cause of the reason that this sight is soooo much bigger than any others, they just don't have a chance, or something like that.

[paintballer42o]

I think someone at PBN made that

[E r y k]

notice it says "Welcome to the 3A Forum"

on the top... whats up with that?

first they spam pbr with their own reviews of tanks... now a whole imitation?

[dog-of-Dislexia]

Bandwidth stealers. Kill em' all.

[amzng_spyderman]

3a's behind this?!?! oh man, they are SO screwed. andrew's going to cap so many ***es it's not going to be funny.

[dog-of-Dislexia]

Instead of trying to rip PBR off, shouldn't 3A be busy trying to make tanks that don't suck?
