--- Quote from: Mega24 on January 11, 2008, 12:59:13 am ---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:

Most of us have considered all that has been said. Some of us have not dumped on him (Christian) at all...facts have been stated that do not favor him...and there has been flaming. The questions that come to my mind are "What does people dumping on him have to do with his promise?" Two separate issues there...they should be handled separately. "Why is Christian spending time reading a forum when he could be making people their panels?" It seems as though enough people have been defaulted on, that he would be much too busy "making good" to read this or any other forum. The flaming words can hurt no doubt....but he is reaping what he has sown. Whether he was the owner or merely an employee of SS is irrelavent. He presented himself as a customer service rep for SS here...that is where he built his reputation. He actions towards customers here made my mind up not to purchase from SS long ago.

I wish him and all those associated with him well...but if he wants to survive, and wants people to stop "dumping on him" he should reevaluate his customer relation philosophy.

It appears we have some evidence here ...

When did SlikStik stop taking people's cash for orders ??  Heck, they're still taking the orders, right ??  They certainly didn't stop on May 10, 2007.

And for how long after that date, did Christian keep spinning the BS about the supposed delays caused by Happs, Mamemarquees, Ultimarc, etc. ??

All the while, falsely assuring those folks waiting on their panels, that they'd get them in due course ??

So SlikStik is an abandoned trademark?

And why would you abandon your trademark, if your business was a going concern ??

Christian knew SlikStik was a goner long ago.

The trademark was officially abandoned on May 10, 2007.  No doubt that wasn't an overnight decision, things must have been looking grim long before that.

Yet how long after that date, did Christian continue to spin the BS, in order to keep the order money rolling in ??

For Pete's sake, they're still accepting orders today !!

Money being happily accepted by an abandoned company, for products that Christian knew full well would never materialise ??

that little bit of info might be handy if someone was thinking of suing.
