This will be my last post since nobody cares to actually listen to what is said. Consider this...when you are in business, it often happens that companyA is unable to pay companyB for a product or service. CompanyB then decides to either extend further credit to companyA (depending on circumstances) in the hopes that by carrying the company through a difficult time they will keep the cow alive long enough to once again be able to get milk from it...OR they decide to cut companyA off and either seek relief through the courts or write off the loss. Sometimes, a business will make arrangements with a debtor to pay a reduced amount for a while until the business gets "back on its feet". There are a million scenarios that are not black & white YOU OWE ME NOW YOU ARE GOING TO JAIL. Now that is talking about BUSINESSES. When it comes to consumers, things can get a little more personal (as evidenced here). In this case, some people paid for a product from SLIKSTIK LLC and either didn't receive the product, received an inferior product, or received their product after an extended period of time. This has been made abundantly clear. Christian has offered to make good on these deals, and has been apparently doing so, but that is besides the point since noone really cares about this except for those who purchased the panels. The question now is where do we go from here? I personally believe that the SlikStik layouts and designs are the best I have seen and Christian is obviously very talented. I would like to see him continue doing what he is doing (ie building and designing control panels for arcade machines). To that end, I will support him in what he is trying to do...take over operations at SlikStik and try and build a business that can support him and his family now and in the future. The funny thing is that he was only asking that you stop constantly dumping on him while he is struggling to fix this situation. It's like you are all piling on this guy and will not stop. Stop and think...What will be gained by this? Why didn't you all just give the guy a chance to make good on his promises...keep a little good will in your heart...right now some of you keep pouring poison over wounds without ceasing...like you live for this. All I am asking is that you consider all I have said. :notworthy: |

Mega24, I honestly think that you are a kind hearted soul. Trusting. TOO trusting. --- Quote --- 123 Main / Main Forum / Re:SlikStik News & Announcements on: October 31, 2002, 09:52:07 AM Quote from: Dink on October 30, 2002, 11:27:07 AM Is it still taking over 2 months to get a SlikStik delivered? Dink, The shipping times have vastly approved for all units, they never took 2 months to ship, there was a small window within the past 8 months that we were plagued by manufactures not having enough parts to supply us with that in fact some units shipping times were delayed due to this. In any instance we have no rectified that situation by stocking a huge parts inventory to assure SlikStik customers the fastest shipping time possible. Thank You Christian SlikStik Customer Support http://www.slikstik.com The Worlds Best Arcade Controllers --- End quote --- Do you see that date? That was over 5 years ago. Do you see the overall THEME of this post? Sound familiar? This isn't the first time folks around here have dealt with Christian. --- Quote ---As for shipping times, yes there have been some delays, 95% due to Happ Controls not being able to supply us with the parts we order. For instance, right now there is a trackball delay that we and Incredible Technologies are waiting for from them, as they have stated they received a faulty trackball roller from their supplier and they are backordered over 1000 trackballs. You can surely call or email them to verify this on your own. --- End quote --- -November 6th, 2002 ...just dig a little and you will see that Christian, Jerry & SS have given every excuse under the sun as to why their product is constantly late including even "The cost of stainless steel as gone up 85% and we are attempting to get new supplier" (in regards to control cabs with stainless sticks). :laugh2: |

Nah, its just because I am new, and my questions about arcade controls are all green... As a "greenie" I actually almost decided to NOT make a cab after reading the crap on this particular thread... I thought this was going to be a fun endevour, but apparently it isnt as easy as that... And to think I though design, layout, and actually cutting wood would be the annoyances I would have to face... I dont know if it is good or bad I came across this thread, but damn: It changed my view of the whole thing. Atleast I know that I will be going through Ultimarc for the stuff I need to do it for controls and Ill just be going through local friends and doing as much I can myself for the actual cab making... Why is it that something that should be fun can become so damn annoying like this? |

--- Quote ---PS: Don't let us get you down... 95% of the community out there are great. --- End quote --- Thanks for the vote of confidence. I do realise that that is true. Ill be making my first order from ultimarc after the magsticks come in, and then will officially start my journey (or I may get some Esticks, since they have the front mounting plate and as I said I am green at all of this). Its just that I had hoped this would be a better experience on the forums, but I do understand about people warning others of bad deals... * protokatie is naive sometimes, and wishes that niche groups were perfect, when that wish is never possible... I will of course follow my dreams of making a cabinet that makes you drool with envy!!! (that promise is earmarked for sometime after you have died a natural death and I am about 120 years old :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:) |
