Slik Stik - Any Word
Ice Cream Jonsey:
Language, rules, rules, rules... *sigh* Post modified. If you think I've mangled it feel free to fix it without the sexual references.
--- Quote from: Mameroom on January 06, 2008, 08:45:44 am ---Both are true. I have several customers from this board/thread that have contacted me because they cannot get a refund from their cc company and have not heard anything from SlikStik. I am sticking my own neck out here to say that there is a chance for them. It's the MANY members here that either RECEIVED their merchandise, or NEVER purchased anything from SlikStik chiming in or leading a tirade that will ruin it for these people. And I think that is selfish....

So let's sum up.
Posting that Christian Stango from SlikStick is a thief, as well as condescending human garbage - bad.
Expressing that opinion when he has stolen from the arcade community - bad.
Expressing that opinion when he has condescended to his actual customers - bad.
Taking thousands of dollars from people and providing nothing in return - understandable.
Shipping things out only when the state attorney gets involved - defensible.
Being a petulant chunk of trash that is going to stop sending out orders (even though he wasn't sending anything out to begin with) because he's getting called out on his fourth grader's mentality of how business works - no problem here.
He deserves every bit of abuse he receives, and more. I will do everything possible to spread the word that this company, and whatever new venture he decides to put forth in order to screw over the community, is run by a no-character thief.

Agreed! And the gal in New Jersey taking everyone's info to go after this clownshoe has NO RIGHT to do this because she personally didn't attempt to buy anything from SlikStick! This is complete BS!
Furthermore, the cops and judges and prosecutors have NO RIGHT to bring people arrested for murder before 12 people who weren't even there and probably selected at random through a computer. It should be up to the murdered guy himself to get involved and get active. And even then, the murdered guy should shut up, because otherwise things might go really bad for him!
What are you, fricking five years old? People were calm when they were actually getting their stuff. As soon as they weren't, everyone started to casually wonder what was up. Nobody's been given more time and patience than Slikstick.
--- Quote ---Those people are the ones that need something to gripe about, regardless of what it is. I think it is wrong.

I think it's wrong to steal from people, lie to them and then pretend like you were totally going to send stuff out and make right, except for those nasty internet trolls. I know the law is the last resort for suckers, but I'm pretty sure mail fraud is a crime and browsacking thieves on the Internet through forum posts isn't.

Hahahah! Yeah! There is a great chance! If only we'd all shut up! He did such a great job moving product before he got called out, after all. Edit by saint, sexual reference removed

For the record, this will ultimately include everyone, because no sane person would ever order from him again.
--- Quote ---need to be heard over and over and over and over and over and over...what exactly is YOUR motive?
--- End quote ---
To stop people from losing thousands of dollars when they are trying to get involved in their hobby, which is supposed to be relaxing and fun. There is my motivation. I've seen guys get crapped upon time and time again because they like old arcade games and it makes me sick to death. Those worthless a-holes from the King of Kong stick a camera in front of Mark Alpiger - a nice guy by anyone's standards - and then try to make him look like a freak by releasing a cut-up hatchet job on him. Ho, ho, ho, retro gamers sure are a bunch of dumb rubes. I'm a little sick of seeing one guy after another attempt to shove his junk in our collective faces, and as far as I am concerned the least I can do is call out the pieces of crap trying to take advantage of everyone.
--- Quote ---You are screwing these people just as much as SS, whether you know it or not...and YES, I do have information and a reason for telling people to "relax" for a little while...but we all know that's not going to happen...
--- End quote ---
Of course not. Maybe for your next business venture you can get in tight with Ken Lay, Matt Millen and the Axeman of New Orleans. I'm hoping for a train wreck so massive it takes out the moon. Don't disappoint!
You're not a bad guy. Can't you see Stango is using you? I would never boycott your stuff or tell anyone else to, because you at least have a human soul and are trying to do the right thing. Cut this guy loose, he's just trying to slather his snake oil and taint all over you.

I purchased a Classic Unit from SlikStik, albet it was 4 years ago... It arrived sooner than expected, came with free pinball buttons and they even sent me a free trackball light after the panel arrived because they were having a sale and I bought before then...
When I recieved the panel, the Ipac was hooked up backwards, but I was given a personal cell number, and they helped me get it right...
The quality of these panels are unmatched (knock on wood) I haven't had a single problem in 4 years!
I hope that Slikstik can work out it's problems, because they really do (did) produce a high quality product!
Just my two cents on how the company USED to be, and hopefully will be again...
quarterback:
I am not a customer of SlikStik, nor will I ever be, but I really can't believe these posts from Mameroom/Scott somehow transferring responsibility from Christian/Slikstik to people here on BYOAC. These statements and accusations are completely stunning to me. I can't believe that anybody would have the gall to come bere and make repeated statements not just implying but literally stating as fact that people getting ripped off by a company have only vocal BYOAC members to blame.

--- Quote from: Mameroom on January 05, 2008, 03:15:39 pm ---the only thing people of this forum are doing, is limiting the chance for Chris to make good on what he offered, and really screwing people that Chris is trying to make good with.

--- Quote from: Mameroom on January 05, 2008, 07:36:36 pm ---The question is whether or not people in here will get their panels in the process. The continuing flamewar will ensure that they do not.

Christian will either do the right thing, or he won't. If he chooses to NOT do the right thing and to somehow claim that it's this thread's fault is ridiculous. And for you to come in here and repeatedly blame vocal members of this community for somebody ELSE'S fraudulent behavior is extremely disturbing.
It's inevitable that there are going to be some purchasers who don't get complete customer satisfaction and, frankly, it makes me sick to my stomach that you would blame posters in this thread for that.

The two statements above don't jive with me? ???
Mameroom:
Wait a minute...I think people are misinterpreting my posts. I in no way "Blame" anyone here. They RIGHTFULLY posted their grievences.
I want to be clear on this. I AM IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM telling people they are wrong in posting about their experience with slikstik...either directly or indirectly. I merely wanted to convey that it's the people that never even purchased anything from SS that read what others are going through and talk trash about something they don't have the personal experience to back what they are saying.
If it sounded like I was trying to put a few fires out (walk on a some eggshells for awhile for the greater good) so people can at least get their stuff, then yes...I'm guilty.
If I didn't care about customers getting their stuff...I wouldn't be here, obviously risking my name to do so. Mameroom has nothing to do with any of this and won't be affected one way or the other if Chris decides to fullfill orders out of his own pocket or not...again, I'm only doing what I personally feel will make this situation right for the people still waiting for their products.
I know the idea of letting things be for awhile is hard to fathom...but it almost appears like some people in here really don't want customers to get their panels from Chris, just so they can prove their points about Chris...THAT is what I think is wrong....but again, it's not worth stepping in the middle of this, just thought I'd try to find a resolve.
