    Wow, I was come back to do some digging to find an old marker or two, thinking of making a return. Good luck.

      Glad to see mcb is back. Very strange not having it around.

          Minus the loss of the old forum..

          I really enjoy the new features in this one! All we need now is an optional 'dark theme'... and only give it to green names muahaha *nervously checks subscription date* Speaking of which, are these like pro-rata subscriptions or whatever (I don't know what that word means, uhhh, are they timers reset or not ?) Will load a crisp bill in the cannon.

            Glad we're back up. Though I guess now I can close all the tabs of sales I was watching...

                The real shame is the amount of knowledge and common questions going back 10+ years that was lost. I was just looking up some random thing about the best material for tank o-rings and got a bunch of old dead MCB links. Now I have no idea what tank o-rings to buy. Shame.

                  In the short term, Google Cache on those articles works pretty well. And if they are older, check out archive.org mirror that was done a couple years ago. Neither are ideal, but it sounds like restoring a static site should be possible (with some caveats), we just need to wait a bit.

                    Between Google cache and the Wayback Machine, we can recover a lot of what was lost. I have already recreated several stickied threads.

                        One thing I've noticed is that the spam on my MCB email address which I don't use for anything else has gone through the roof.

                        If the previous site was hacked that could explain it.

                        Anyone need "you know what" enlargement pills?

                          I would be so grateful if the Line SI Bushmaster thread could be restored just to see the posted pictures.

                            So much knowledge, just vanished......just to think, the hacker had to have been a paintballer himself, hardly anyone knew about MCB these days still being active unless they are an invested player

                              Upsetting that so much content was lost, but telling the hacker to fuck off was the right choice.
