The current status of Ram Controls:

[Vigo]

I've only seen a couple episodes with my nieces, but it is a little kids show starring this DJ Lance guy and he has a box of toy people or something and they have a dance party.

[newmanfamilyvlogs]

Yo gabba gabba is perhaps childrens programmings finest hour. I'm not even joking.

[Vigo]

From the little that I saw, they were actually featuring real musicians. Something that I haven't seen since Sesame Street.

[amendonz]

yeah, its kinda an interesting watch.

Yo gabba gabba is perhaps children's programmings finest hour. I'm not even joking.

Seriously? 

That show is the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.  I watched about a minute of it and felt like I needed a shower.

All the kids shows these days seem like they'd just make kids dumber.

[Vigo]

I would put it a step above telly tubbies and that nonsensical, repetitive stuff that was out around 10 years ago.

Nontheless, for my kid, I am currently preparing for his tv age by getting him vintage sesame street.

Teletubbies are creepy as ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. Not to mention there is some other show that shows half baby heads in some sort of blob, and they make all kinds of weird, creepy, blair witch sounds. I hate it! 

You cant go wrong with vintage Sesame Street, that is timeless. That, and a healthy dose of Thundercats, He Man, and Transformers. Im going to be a sad panda if I dont have any boys.

hell yeah, my kid is gonna have some class. 

 I think I know the show baby head show you are talking about. Those things that looked like sparkly breast implants with baby heads that pop out. Then they sit and roll around for 20 minutes.

THATS IT!!! THATS THE SHOW!!! I want to beat the crap out of whoever thought of those little horrors. Ugh. Now Im all creeped out.

[yotsuya]

That show is called Boo-bah.

[Vigo]

Somehow, the name doesn't surprise me....


I found a clip...




  Scarier than I remember...

   OH GAWD!  My eyes are BLEEDING!

Great way to judge a program... 1 minute...  you fail.

Yo Gabba Gabba ROCKS... and is very educational (for toddlers)... and fun!  My 2 year old loves it... and the 80's retro and video game segments kick ass!  ...and any show that has Biz-Marque rockin the Biz's Beat of the Day is OK in my book.

Sheesh... 1 minute and you're an expert?

I say...

[newmanfamilyvlogs]

Not to mention Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo doing a drawing segment. The musical guests are almost always a Who's Who list of Indie rockers.

[DashRendar]

But how is this connected to the current status of Ram Controls?

 

[FrizzleFried]

...and what is cool is they play original kidcentric stuff... not their own tunes.

But this is getting WAAAAAYYYY off topic.  Back to RAM = SCAM.

Wow Friz, for someone who seems to love lauding his own brilliance, you really missed the mark here.  My statement was not that I've ONLY watched one minute of the show, but that after only one minute I felt like I needed a shower.

Also, I didn't even say this particular show was bad.  I said this show creeped me out and then made a generalization about modern kids shows; emphasis on generalization.

Sheesh... my apologies to your hypersensitive feelings toward toddler programing.

[FrizzleFried]

Re-read your post my friend...

"I watched about a minute of it and felt like I needed a shower."

I'd say that anyone with even a semblance of aptitude in reading comprehension would take away from that sentence that you've watched "about a minute of it".  I'd say that perhaps your statement was a little confusing,   no?

I can see how it could have read that way.

Of course, one doesn't even need to be able to read to take away what you thought of my opinion with your big pile of animated crap.  

[CheffoJeffo]

Frizz would read it that way, as would many kids who watch "Yo Gabba Gabba", I expect.

Reading comprehension is an important aspect of educational programming.

So, WF, what do you have your kids watching ?

 

[ChadTower]

That's funny.  When I wanted my kids to learn to read I read them books.  I didn't turn on the TV.

I bemoan Yo Gabba Gabba because it's songs get lodged in my head and won't come out, but my little guy says please and thank you, mainly because that's the kind of stuff they drill into the kids who watch that show. So I can not fault it for what it's teaching him.

Such a good thing that so many shows have decent closed captions.

[dan_ram]

FYI I am still around but I have picked up a few IT related projects that have made it difficult to keep up with the forums. I will post from time to time to let you know that I am still around and to let you know about any developments that are occurring.

I am still shipping out orders and EVERYONE who has ordered from me since I took over in March has had their product shipped quickly. I am still to this day taking in orders and shipping them out all quickly. Anyway if you have any questions please feel free to PM me here or send an email to sales@ram-controls.com

[SuprSprint]

Dan forgot to mention that he's been paying Adam with money made from the sales of RAM products.  Which seems quite an odd thing to do since he also said; "Adam has taken me and my family for about $59K"

But don't worry, unless Adam pays him back Dan/Jim is going to rat him out to the cops. All of which seems to imply that as long as Jim gets paid, he really doesn't give a crap what happens to you guys....

Good luck doing business with SCAM Controls...

[dan_ram]

Pldoolittle, you forgot to mention that you flat out LIED on a forum about placing an order with me and kept LYING many many times until you were cornered and then you admitted that you fabricated everything to supposedly get a piece of information that was common knowledge.

Here is the page on the post where you admitted to perpetuating a lie on the forums basically to create more drama.

You are nothing other than a liar and a troll... Growl TROOOOOLLLLLL!!!!

[tbombaci]

Oh the irony...

[CheffoJeffo]

At this point, the only response to Jim calling someone else a liar is ... Say it with me ...

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Spare us the sanctimony.

Nice effort at diverting attention away from yourself. Yes, I lied. Unfortunately, when dealing with characters like yourself, it is necessary to crawl into the gutter and get dirty.  As for the information I gathered, it was a bit more than your local UPS drop box. I just posted that pic because I found it humorous.

Oh, and unlike yourself I did not have to be backed into a corner to tell the truth. I told a number of notable people *before* the effort began, and more as it went along.  You, on the other hand, lie your ass off until cornered and then you pipe up with yet another line of transparent bulls**t. Like today....

That said, it still pales in comparison to lying about Adam still getting paid from RAM sales while victims remain unpaid....

Here is the page on the post where you admitted to perpetuating a lie on the forums basically to create more drama.

To "create more drama" are your words. You conveniently skipped the part where I said; "The purpose was to force this very confrontation to take place. Took weeks of waiting, but eventually Jim had to pop his head up and comment about it."

You are nothing other than a liar

Said the man who has lied about everything since day one....  Again, Nice effort at diverting attention away from yourself.

[dan_ram]

pldoolittle, I hate to burst your self important bubble, but me popping back onto the forums had nothing to do with your efforts at fabricating a false story to try to cause drama on the forums. You really think I care about someone who wasted my time telling me and everyone else that you placed an order but never did? A person who in three weeks of conversations never presented the slightest shred of proof that you were actually a customer who might have been owed something? I talked to you at length because I wanted to make sure that if you were in fact a customer that you would be taken care of. If you had actually presented some proof that you had ordered something, I would have taken care of you, but you did not so I could not.

I came back on the forums because I had the chance to check out a number of stories that Adam had told me, I came back because I wanted to let people know that I do in fact believe that Adam has told lies to people around this community, that I know he took money for both arcade and non arcade related projects that he never completed. That I know that he took money from me to support his own lifestyle. It took time to research all of these things and I had to do it on the cheap because I have limited resources. I was angry about all of that so I came on here to vent. But that is the reason I came back, not because of you!

[SuprSprint]

fabricating a false story to try to cause drama on the forums.

You want so badly to make this about me (or anyone else) that you can almost taste it in the air when you post. I would almost feel sorry for you if you weren't such a dirtbag...

Ignoring your obvious attempt to introduce a red herring, let's recap the issue: 

 - You are in business with Adam.
 - Adam is getting paid from the sales of RAM parts.
 - You have lied about all of this.
 - The jackals are now turning on one another.

From my viewpoint, it seems to have played out pretty much as predicted...

Really?
 it took you this long to figure this out? Really?
months ago you admitted you knew he took orders for products that you knew didn't exist.
Really?
you knew he did this under multiple alias, and felt it was better to not tell the community as to not to add to the drama, Really?

you yourself lied about your name, connection to Ram Controls, and how you were also the "non/arcade guy victim"
Really?
I cant think of any one else in this business that uses fake names and alias's to "protect themselves."
Collecting Arcade games for 10+years doesn't count? Really?
Having a Business ArcadeMovers which was also blamed for RC lost shipments, still doesn't make you an arcade guy?
Really?
Having Empire Controls as your own company where you also claim to have engineered and  advertises most of the controls sold by Ram has you
still  "hiring Dave/Adam" to mfg more product.? Really?
Recently giving him more money that came from Ram Controls sales and now seems to have vanished with that as well? Really?
someone who owed you money enough money to take control of RC stock and still owes money from other ventures you give him more??
Really?
and with all the posts on these forums you still don't know how to assemble a SW yoke? Really?

For the record, I really hate that SNL bit. Really.
 

PS: Still no link to his Ebay Power seller account.
PPS: Still no photos of the inventory he acquired.

Erm, not happy at the insinuation. Unless I misunderstood.

But that cab has nothing to do with RC.

I can't post where I am getting it from, or the rest of the stuff that I am getting, but using my picture in this thread is out of order.

[drawfull]

Yawn. That pic is my pic. Sent to me privately by another collector which I chose to share with the 'community'. It ain't Dan's fckin template. 

The insinuation by posting it is I am somehow linked with RC, I don't like it, I certainly don't appreciate it, and it in no way makes it nerd drama. Lose the caps dude.

edited cos not fair to bring forum into my grumpiness.
