View Full Version : PB Review officially sold to PBNation and SpecOps Paintball LLC's. (APRIL FOOLS!)

As many of you may already know, Andrew, our site owner has recently moved out of the US to reside in Costa Rica and open a new venture. He has been actively looking for a custodian for PBReview as his new company, operating charter boats for big game fisherman, will take up most of his time.

Effective immediately, PBReview has officially been sold and it's operations will be taken over in a joint partnership between PBNation LLC and Special Operations "SpecOps" Paintball LLC. While most of you will not notice an immediate change, the moderator staff will be relieved of their duties over the course of the next month and a new team comprising the moderator staff from the other two companies will take over.

The new PBReview forums will contain a strong Woodsball tm focus and will be centered around the recreation baller. The reviews portion of the site will remain the same. We ask your patience and continued support during the transition.

Lopez

Actually, this deal was in the works about a month ago. The ordinary mod staff are receiving a small severance pay package, and few, if any of the supers will be kept. The changeover is set to occur in four days to give Andrew time to check out the servers. PBN has offered a very generous amount of money for PBR, mainly for its review section that it lacks. And SpecOps has been growing tremendously since woodsball's "re-launch" with guns like th SP-8 and MR-1 running around. They just want to be along for the ride.PBN is set to be more speedball oriented, and PBR's forums will be designed for the rec ball audiences.
I've been very happy to work under Andrew and support his decision.

Andrew has to say it's true to be true... Until then, i'm saying it' April Fools

Same, but then again, Andrew might also be in the loop of trickery.

If this does happen though, I am going to be seriously mad if PBR becomes as messed up as PBN.:pissed:

Nor should you before 5 April. It's part of the advertising clause regarding this. Advertising prior to the server inspections and cutover will make the agreement voidable.

For any of you doubters out there, we've been trying to get in touch with some of the less active mods and there may be some posts by them (Jaster comes to mind) in the last 24 hours. More details will come later in the week after we get signoff on the transition.

04-01-2006, 02:58 PM
this isnt true because:
1. The SpecOps owners and most people on the forum hate PBN, and vice-versa. They want nothing to do with each other.
2. There is nothing about this on the specops forums (dont flame just cause i like woodsball, if you do then you probably would not care if pbr got boaught out by pbn anyway)
3. Its April Fool's Day

and btw, opsgear is more milsim than specops, specops is woodsball, not milsim


You have much to learn of business my young friend.

1: Likes of other companies have NOTHING to do with buying them. Who cares of WGP didnt like Brass Eagle, they got bought anyways didnt they.

pbr isnt a corporation. they only money they might make is from advertisments, which i doubt specops or pbn would pay for, as pbn has about twice as many people they can advertise to. spec ops is the only real business that makes money for selling products, sure pbn has a store, but how much money do you think they actually make from some bracelets, hoodies, and hats? and pbn could create their own review section, its not patented

if they cant post anything, why is it on here???

yea right

Obviously because of how the whole market for anything is being owned by fewer and fewer companies. Companies like k2 who already own wgp jt brass eagle and viewloader own a huge chunk of the market. Pbn pbr and spec ops will be owned under one company now. Obviously :rolleyes:

There. From Andrew. Anyone else want to question it?

And no, mods don't get paid, but there will be a sizable chunk of profit in Andrew's wallet and he's decided to reward the mods/supers/and Legends that have helped run PBR till now, so while we don't get paid, there is a severance package of an undisclosed amount. It wouldn't make Donald Trump jump and down for joy, but it's a nice gesture.

I doubt that will last very long, there probably won't be many people that are willing to pay on a forum. There are some other forums out there.. none as good(IMO) as PBR, but there are other options.

If its true I'd be kinda mad because I'm a mod at SO and I havnt heard a thing.

Besides, if the reviews stayed the same then what would be the point? Ads? I mean SO already has a decent forum(yea yea woodsball rednecks ramble ramble, people dont listen when you ramble) so theres not much of a point of doing so. Lets also consider the crowd, aparently most of the people hate woods because of the people and style(yet the people who hate speed are idiots for the same reasons, but thats a different topic, i wonder what happened to paintball) so they wouldnt even get much outta the ad space, the only advantage they have of doing this.

Now I'm hardly ever on PBN so I dunno how they operate and what their 'goals' are so I cant say much of anything useful for them.

Since PBR is the one being purchased, we are allowed to tell you what you know thus far. PBN and SpecOps are required not to disclose anything until the transition is made.
The biggest reason for this is the review section is very valuable to PBN and SpecOps. No one else has a review section because it infringes on PBR's rights. All the data, markers, and equipment, from ancient and obsolete to the latest and hottest in a massive database. PBR is quite a large forum, and when you combine it with PBN, it's a terrific opportunity to create one gobal forum. Like if Microsoft and Apple merged. Microsoft is huge and everything, but they keep fighting to get the Apple market because there are strengths to that platform.
Why do you think Intel is making Mac hardware now?

PBR is quite a large forum, and when you combine it with PBN, it's a terrific opportunity to create one gobal forum.

Problem is, a lot of people (including me) are on PBR just because we don't like the fact that there are so many people on PBN, including a lot of idiots. That and the fact that it's so slow. As for SpecOps, I don't think I even need to say anything about that.

You might like those better Uziel Gal as far as PBN/SO fusion goes. Those are guns SO has painted.

Anywho, it just seems too odd to me, especially without anyone telling me about it. Why they'd have to, I dunno, it'd just seem like they would if this was going down. That and of course its April 1st.

Jeez people give it a rest, its paintball. Just because its woods orientated doesnt meant that'd it'd suck. If they wanted to do anything as far as financial/cooperate jazz goes they wont chase ya'll off, they lose money that way. Grow up.

That's a definite truth. Although, some of us do go there for some thing, such as BST and Team forums.

Ebon and I had a discussion about this, and he said that this was the earliest that they could announce this happening, and being that today is AFD, it is extremely ironic.

ROFL great job guys, I think most of the people are believing it except for a few. And thanks for joining in and helping with the creativity, it really sounds pretty realistic. Just make sure you keep it going until tomorrow morning, and if you see anybody making AFD comments go ahead and delete them.

And Ebon, you are amazing!

You made up a good April Fool's, moderators. It had me wondering, but I wasn't convinced from the start. The biggest reason why is because you mods were posting in a different voice. You never post in the manner that you did, so I figured that you were putting it on. Good one though - the best one I've seen on a website today. :tup: I feel much better now. ;)
