Why are you reposting pictures of an old ghetto yoke if not to attack the "little Jealous children"? It doesn't even work ... |
| Xiaou2:
The yoke is not meant for them. Its meant to share with anyone who has a desire to make a Starwars yoke. If it so happens that it does offend the others... then that is Their problem and not mine. And yes, it does work when fully assembled. |

Im sick of the constant dark clouds that roam here, throwing stones at people. If such things go on persisting... nobody is going to want to hang here... post anything, nor put up any pics. People seem to think that just cause this is the Internet... that they should be able to behave 10times worse than in real life. And that Should not be the case. And yes, I have to Lower myself to a certain level to get the point across... cause these people dont understand any other way. As for the edit... If it was anything... it was a single word of sentence. I tend not to use curse words if at all possible. However, that does not mean that the words do not lack teeth. But, for everyone else's sake, I will edit them after class... If you really think Im deeply hurt, then you are mistaken. However, it just goes to show the gratitude of these people. You try to be nice, giving...etc.. and you get rocks thrown at you from coward punks hiding behind bushes. The point here is that everyone should be treated with decent levels of respect. In case you didnt notice... plenty of posts not written by myself were removed rather than edited. I think that says it all right there. The yoke was completed years ago, and pics have been up for over all of those years. I just never got around to posting the final modifications of the internal gearing that was done about 3 weeks after the failure of the zip-cord gear. Yup, it was a good time to pull it out of the hat. But make no mistake... Ive helped plenty here with ideas, artwork, and much more for longer than I can remember. Theres a big difference between someone who throws rocks... and someone who helps a person cross a river. Both in moral decency, and in the effect it has on the community and people all around that person. Im not perfect.. .never claimed to be. But at least Im a decent person trying to be the best I can be... not out to hurt others, to boost an ego, or gain satisfaction use out of people... cause I empty inside and nothing really satisfies me... --- End quote --- That is why I do not post my projects anymore. I do not want to give those of commercial interests, insights into my product line (even if it is limited). I do want to show others my mistakes and accomplishments, but lately there has been less constructive opinions. I myself have been known to sling the odd stone, if my feelings are strong enough to warrant one. Some projects are plain ugly, but they are supposed to be as we are not all master craftsmen. Learning is part of the hobby. The yoke in question looks different. It is supposed to be different as it is a project originated from your own head. It ceased to be an Atari inspired yoke, to your yoke. That is an accomplishment worthy of its own merit. I like it, and it is totally different from my old yoke attempt. But it did give me some new ideas when I get around to make a second attempt it again. ;D Keep posting your projects though. Kudos for your efforts. You have more experience and imagination than I do. :cheers: |

--- Quote ---I can't find the link on your site to order the snake oil. --- End quote --- LOL. How old are you?! You crack me up. :laugh2: Umm, I dont make a single penny off my site. In fact, I Pay to even have a site posted - for the Privilege of such stupid quotations and abuse. Explain to me how spending a week of off and on work to build a phoney yoke, and paying a host site to post it would give me a gain in life. lol Tell you what.... why dont you post YOUR phoney yoke and show us all how easy it is. In the mean time... Ill refund the money you sent me. Ohh yes, a check for $0.00 is on its way. However, Ill have to charge a 10% fee for the mailer + my handling time, and 5% for my web host costs. Where can I send the bill? Ark, Thanks for the Positive and realistic / Logical comments. ;) I personally dont pick on peoples projects. If I see something that Impresses me, I will post. If I see that a person is asking for help, then I may give suggestions. However, if the person is happy with what they have done.. who am I to stomp on that? Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Some people cant draw a stick figure, yet I can draw quite well. I dont brag about it, But, I am proud of some things Ive drawn. Certainly, there are better artists out there. But for me to pick on the guy who had trouble drawing a stick figure is really in low taste.. no matter how bad the drawing is, or how proud he is of it. There is no right and wrong. There is only creation. What is worse, better, and best... are mere opinions which only really matter to the person who actually uses the said creation. You may prefect looks over function... where I prefect more function over looks. Trashing my project cause you dont like how it looks doesnt mean a thing to me...as you will never convince me otherwise. You arent playing my control panel... so why bother trying to School me on how You would have built it? Make fun of me? It doesnt do a thing to change my mind... and what does it do for you? Anyways, you can tell a lot this isnt really directed at you. --- Quote ---You have more experience and imagination than I do. --- End quote --- Thanks man. We all have our strengths. (Im weak in almost all other areas) As for experience... that is mostly due to repeated attempts and lots of failed results. You can only fail so many times before you have no other option but to succeed. :) Ive thought about trying to sell things... but Randy and Andy would probably just bowl me over if I tried :P I really cant complete with the technical wizardry and business experience/knowledge that they have. |
