I seem to have misplaced the forum backups. I am scrounging to find them, and hope to have them up sometime this weekend. Sorry for the delay!-Jeff 

Hey! 
 As you all may have noticed, the digital paintball webserver has been down for quite some time now. It’s now completely rebuilt, and on a much faster pipeline. As a result, you’ll notice everything will be much faster.

We’re definitely still working on DPB - updates to come.

 I’ll have the forums online by the end of the week.

I’ve added a page on the site to show a listing of all Digital Paintball servers. Check it out!   -Jeff 

Help spread the word about DPB! (part 1) 

It’s Mod of the Year time over at ModDB, and it’d really be great if we could win this year =).

We won awards in 2002 and 2003, and I really think that DPB Source can do it again in 2007. I know the community is still a bit on the small side, but this could really help us out. Please consider joining moddb and voting for us!

I’ll have some more cool promotion stuff later in the month. 

A very vocal minority has stormed my offices and demanded we release a linux server binary for dpb source (alpha 2).  Fine, here it is.  Let me know how it works over on the forums… 

Brief Changelog:

•  Added new map, dpb_ontop
• Transitioned to new SDK
• Fixed spectator bugs
• Fixed chat prefixes
• Limit player spawns in arenas
• added say_all chat channel - say is now arena only
• Fixed crashes associated with map change
•  Fixed paintball visibility

Head over to the downloads page for mirrors! Post about this in our forums!

Hey!

I apologize for the stupid flash thing I had here. Apparently, it counted down based on local time. For those of you which the counter already hit zero, I apologize.

The correct time is MIDNIGHT GMT-5 (less than three hours as of this posting).

Again, I apologize.

There will be Alpha 2.

On behalf of everyone on the Digital Paintball team, welcome back!

We just recently passed the four million pageview mark. Eight years ago, I would have never imagined that we would have such a robust and thriving community. We were kids; most of us weren’t even in high school yet.  We came together to have a lot of fun, and maybe get a half-life mod about paintball done on the side. From our humble beginnings, look at how we’ve thrived.
