  26. You may or may not have noticed that The Ford Report is coming from a different email address now and the disclaimer at the top of the report is different.  The Ford Report is now housed on its’ own server and is fully independant from 68Caliber.Com.  However, contrary to what The Paintball Reject is theorizing,  this does NOT mean that 68Caliber.Com is going away…on the contrary…this is an expansion of the 68Caliber.Com media empire, and TheFordReport.Com will complement and enhance what you get at 68Caliber.Com.  Since TFR is wholly owned by me, I’ll be writing up a seperate rate card for advertising opportunities on TFR.  If you want to do a combo deal with 68 and TFR, it’s certainly something that can happen.  Low Country Paintball, NOCER Productions, SoBe Paintball and E-Money have all decided to jump in…how about you?

  27. The Tiny Blonde Goddess has returned to her home here in Florida.  Pretty much everyone involved is happy she’s back, with the exception of Phatty the Cat.  She’ll just have to cope.  There’s enough love from the Hairy Hotness to go around…
