Those of you in the northeastern Scenario community have likely heard of BennyT, Kendall and Train. Harder. If you haven't, please check them out - great guys all around: youtube channel
Well, in my anxiousness to get this site up and running I looked through all the names I could think of and they were all used except scenariopaintballtv.com, so I quickly registered it, began to move my blog to it, and post it around a few forums. I knew our names (mine and BennyT) were similar with him using SPbTV, and me using scenariotv on my original blogspot site, but Benny and I had already spoken about it and were cool with each other. Benny hadn't been overly thrilled with the idea, but he knew he was using a generic sounding name - and I was looking for a generic sounding name for the same reasons. It was inevitible that they were going to be similar. I knew my new domain was even more similar to his name, but I didn't think they were identical because as I rememberred it, Benny always used the abbreviation. I have been ridiculously busy the last few days and have had very little sleep (working late every night on this project + a 0430 alarm to drive into NYC for my *real job*). That all combined to equal the following mistake: In my idiocy I failed to remember that at the opening and closing credits of most (last count well over 60) of Benny's youtube videos he doesn't use the abbreviation SPbTV, he spells out "Scenario Paintball TV." I rewatched a few of Benny's videos a little after 10 last night, and immediately registered a new domain name. That being said you can all see how my registering and beginning to use the domain scenariopaintballtv.com name was a pretty lousy move. On the plus side, at least it was me, and not some jerk offshore none of us have ever heard of and would try and charge Benny and exorbitant amount to acquire the registration for scenariopaintballtcv.com. Benny and I know each other on and off the field, phone calls amongst the community have commenced and all with be settled shortly.
I reiterate, I have nothing but love and respect for: BennyT, Kendall, and Train. Harder. Please visit their site via link earlier in this post, or the link on the right column of the main blog page.
