Personal Profile:


Our personal profiles give users a chance to tell other users about themselves. Every registered user will be given a personal profile to enter information into. Unlike other sites, every users personal profile is public information. Users may not set their whole profile, or specific profile section, to a private state to hide it from guests or any user. But while profiles are always open to the public, users are not required to fill out all the fields in their personal profile. When a user decides to not enter certain information, that specific field is hidden on the profile, giving users the ability to not share certain personal information such as phone contact details, e-mail address's, instant messenger names, etc.

User Image (Avatar):

Every user is allowed to upload and display a user avatar image. This image is shown on many parts of the site, including user profiles, comments, forum posts, and private messages.

Limits - Every user is limited to a 500x200 avatar with a size limit of 100kb.

Content Size - The content sized avatar is an automatically resized avatar image. This is the image used for our forums, private messages, etc. This will allow your image to retain as much quality as possible. The maximum size of a content avatar is 130x100.



User Gallery:

Every user profile features a user gallery. Our user gallery system allows users to upload any images they wish and share them with users. Each image has its own description and can be deleted individually. Every user is limited to a maximum of 20 uploaded images total and 500kb of file space. A single image has a maximum image size of 640x480, and file size of 100kb. Image types allowed are jpg,gif,png.



User Ratings:

Every user profile features a profile rating. Only registered users can rate users on our site. When a user leaves a rating, they choose between a 1 to 5 "thumbs up" rating as well as a rating comment. Users can not rate a user more than once. The users average rating is shown at the top of the ratings tab. User ratings are a good way to tell other users of bad / good experiences you have had with that user. But please keep in mind that, like we said before, you can only rate a user once.



Guest Book:

Every user profile features a guest book. Only registered users can write entries into another users guest book. Guest books are there so users can leave comments for other users or simply say hello and introduce themselves.



About Me:

Birthday - Every user is required to enter their birthday information. This is simply a date, nothing more. This date is shown on the users profile and can not be changed.

Country - Every user is required to enter their country of origin. This is also shown on the users profile to help other users and site staff. This field can not be changed by the user, but if the user did move to a different country they can notify site staff and have then change this information for them.

Personal Introduction and Why I'm Here - These fields give users an area to tell other users why they are here at game initiation and who they are. Telling other users who you are and why you are here will help them help you better. For example, if you are here for help regarding a Tippmann marker and enter that into these sections, users who know a lot about Tippmann markers will see this and may offer you their help.

Contact Terms - Every user has the ability to enter terms and conditions for other users to consider before contacting them. Users can tell other users if they prefer to talk to users of a certain age, location, weather or not they like small talk, if they can offer help or not, or if they even want to be contacted at all.



User and Contact Information:

Under the user and contact information section users may input a variety of contact details. Users can input their first name, nick name, last name, weather or not you enjoy certain forms of contact, up to 2 different e-mail address's, instant messenger accounts (AIM, MSN, Windows Live, Yahoo!), Xbox Live account, home phone number, business/work phone number, cell phone number, cell phone provider and cell phone features.

This is also where the user account type is located. Users select a user account type during registration and this setting can not be changed. The different account types are General, Paintball, Airsoft, Paintball and Airsoft, Business.

Note: Account types do not effect what site features are available, profile content or store content. It is simply a statement of why you are here. Your account type is shown on your profile.
