i agree. that was a bitch move for $10
and with everything that went down with the shirts i cant believe anyone would even consider buying anything from ideal. this is just low down to try to take money away from someone just to try and prove something.
are you kidding? FIRST of all...ive said it once and ill say it again.... i did NOTHING wrong with the shirt deal except for maybe not having 100% communication 100% of the times people wanted it.... and i apologized for that. having something that is fully custom and has 100 different options available for the 300 people who ordered is not the easiest thing to get done or keep track of..... until YOU or anyone else does it i dont think you have ANY ground to stand on to speak of it.
the BOTTOM line with that deal is EVERYONE got what they wanted AND MORE (i gave away about $500 dollars in merchandise to make people happy) and everyone was happy in the end with the quality product produced. i could have easily put the design at cafepress and let them deal with everything but their shirt quality is shitty and i didnt want to do that. you act like all ive ever done was show up one day and do the shirt deal and leave..... i do more to help this community then anyone will ever know and i ask nothing of it.... ask rakkasan who wanted me to help with his 1j swap to get it done in a week and i told him i would and he asked me how much and i said dont worry about it and he MADE me take money from him..... i could go on and on about all the people i have helped and dont ask anything from.... hey why not ask drjonez (a guy who has a thread on his site about what a bad guy i am) about how i sent him a part he needed for free including me paying for shipping (granted it wasnt much but the point remains i did even though i am berated on his site).
im so sick and tired of any time i try to do something, the shirt deal comes up.... ill make you a deal if you find me ONE person who isnt happy with the quality of those shirts and hoodies and didnt get what they wanted and more in the end of everything.... and ill stop selling things period. i say that with confidence because you wont find ANYONE.
its really sad that for everything i have done nationally and locally for this community people love to bring that up...even though AGAIN it really isnt that much of a blemish. no one lost their money no one didnt get their product and then some. the only thing "lost" was time. and i would have that happen then produce a shitty product that no one is happy with.
as for THIS .... this is not an attempt to take business from aaron at ALL. and even he knows that. this is simply me offering a product to the community at a discounted price from ANYWHERE on the internet. it is also an attempt to get a little product to business name time so people in the future will recognize the name ideal performance...just like people do with aaron and driftmotion. and LAST time i checked...a business offering a product cheaper isnt dirty...its business.... do you always go to the more expensive gas station because you think the other guy is being a bitch and stealing business? RIIIIIIGHT....
i have NOTHING to prove to ANYONE...especially anyone who thinks im anything but a help and asset to this community. when you have done something for this community as a whole at your OWN expense....then you can come talk to me....when youve done it NUMEROUS times over and over again...then you might be able to have an opinion about me.
im sorry about the rant but that statement was 100% absolutely ridiculous.
