Please, when posting polls, stop and think a moment before doing so. This really didn't need a poll for it. If you want to right an article, go right ahead, if it contains good content, we'll consider it for upload onto the site.
However, making a poll with a "Yes/No" answer is not a good idea, as people might prefer to request certain aspects of an article.
And also, please don't offer inane options for a poll! They serve no useful purpose.
I'm considering locking this thread, as I doubt it will prove constructive.

O.K. Cap! Sorry about that.
the main issue with me writing an article though is the very similar internals... thus I wonder if it is worthwile, and as I currently cannot decide, I would like to see how many people on here have a CPS3000 to see if there is a user base for it.
-and the BEER was a joke... sorry about that.

Welcome to SSC!
---------------
Board Guidelines
Welcome to SSCentral. Please be sure to read all the board guidelines.
That includes using proper spelling and grammar. This topic really is not necessary, asking whether you "should or should not" write an article. The decision is totally up to you, we do not decide if you write it or not. I agree with Spinner, useless poll choices as well offer spreading grounds for spam.

Well, it is supposed to have the standard:
-inside pics
-detailed review (empirically established range measurements, shot counts (usage vs. output), mobility etc. etc.
...and I am considering a Colossus mod (that was the K-mod for cylindrical CPS PC's right?), and a hose connector repair (It has broken off numerous times) as I think I found a new and better technique to stick it on so I'll try it and add that too.
I had it open as it was leaking... VIGOROUSLY... (and since they arent available and it is/was one of the best guns around I simply refuse to dump it.) But for some reason when I pressurized it when I had taken it out of the casing the problem disappeared so I suspect it was a slightly opened valve or a poorly connected pump hose or PC... anyway it's gone so I will reassemble and test... I can't see any obvious problems now anyway.
-Post Scriptum - It makes an excellent flame thrower too... half a litre of lamp oil, a CPS3000, a lighter and a dark night can do wonders (pyro and proud of it - no damage to the gun AT ALL)

...in the meantime I did find the problem... the sealant on the seam on the tube from PC to valve was cracked on tht PC end, causing 5 jets of water to soak the casing... I am attempting to epoxy & kit it shut.
edit: I Don't have any stock pics but pics from fixing are good. I have my own web host so I can swap big files... but the photos the camera takes are H-U-G-E so how big shall I make them? (it takes like 1500x2000px or over)

That's actually around the size of all the pictures I took for this site. Of course, I do have all 800 megs or so of the pictures lying on my hard drive. If you'll need a place to put them all (if you're own host isn't enough) I could give you an FTP address located here at SSCentral to upload them to. We bought some 500 meg hosting and only use about 160 megs, most of which is hosted sites.
Remember, the larger the better. If you need to, you should crop the images before dropping the actual size of the images. Most of our images have been cropped. I do suppose a 800x600 size would be the minimum for best quality if you still plan on dropping the size.

I'll just cut out all the unneccesary stuff and send hi and lo res imagery.
BTW my site currently is very small... so I have like 140 megs to spare.. I sppose that is enough but thanks anyway
BTW I just burnt up a litre of lamp oil coming from my supersoaker last night... with a few buddies... that was COOOOLL!
its still leaking though not as much, so I'll epocy it this weekend and kit it on tues or something so it'll be really fixed by the weekend.
