VPI Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Looks like he is reserving most of them for the more annoying posters on the thread and only four are left for people that aren't losers. The squeaky bitch gets the oil, indeed.
tyrion Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 That was not the way to handle it but it's not my call.
n_maher Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 I have the premier sponsors forum 100% muted on my version of Head-Fi so I didn't have to see any of that crap.
recstar24 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 I have the premier sponsors forum 100% muted on my version of Head-Fi so I didn't have to see any of that crap. Same here, plus everything else (except canjam moderators forum and for sale forum) EDIT: Seems to keep headache down, no? That and using mobile theme on iphone for HC have been my favorite findings so far.
wrecked_porsche Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Yeah, it was real ugly, Todd is offering a great deal, yet they (especially that Necro guy IIANM) felt the need to constantly bitch and whine. In the end Todd ended up reserving 16 units for some of the annoying posters... Oh well, at least that got them to shut up. Was funny to see how some of them quickly did a face turn after being "selected"...
Salt Peanuts Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 My order just went through on the website couple of minutes ago, but I've a feeling I'll be receiving an e-mail from Todd saying I didn't actually make the cut. Oh well.
wrecked_porsche Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Yeah, me too. I was on the paypal page already and ready to send the cash, but clicked "cancel" because I think they are all gone now. Oh well. Poor Todd, now he knows the horrors of the Head-Fi mad mob...
AmanGeorge Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 I'm in the same boat Edit - on HF it says he sold out before 3pm ET
n_maher Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 (especially that Necro guy IIANM) Who's the second poster, I banned the first one for 24hrs for massive douchery.
wrecked_porsche Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Well, that "Necrolic" was makings lots of noise. The other guy I think would be AndrewG (I could be wrong, posts were flying by soo fast); I think Todd got pretty pissed off at that guy at one point for calling him "incompetent". All those back and forth bickering were mostly uncalled for. No one was putting a gun to their heads to make them buy the HF2. EDIT: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/6422827-post569.html how am I not surprised yet again TTVJ displays his trademark incompetence Some of us went out of our way to try to get one of these, let alone have the time to refresh for hours. is that what TTVJ expects us to do? so they can milk the last profits out of these items and not care about screwing their customers I hope Todd just ignores them and does not get too worked up over this mess. Oh well, its all been said and done anyway. I'm off to bed.
AmanGeorge Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Who's the second poster, I banned the first one for 24hrs for massive douchery. Heh - you shouldn't have waited until after he got his HF-2
wrecked_porsche Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Who was the first guy that you banned Nate?
n_maher Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Andrew can have a nice time out too, jackass.
n_maher Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Who was the first guy that you banned Nate? Necrolic
tyrion Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 That guy is an ass and he ended up with the first pair. I like Todd a lot but I believe he took a bad situation and made it worse.
wrecked_porsche Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Heh.... yeah, he (Necro guy) was really going all out there. Reminds me of a friend I had back in high school... I don't agree with what Todd did in the end too, it will definitely leave a bitter taste in the mouths of those who waited patiently and played by the rules. Oh well, what's been done is done.
K3cT Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Kids these days... I would ban them longer if possible.
Salt Peanuts Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Just got a confirmation that it's a no go for me. Don't look through the thread, Nate, it'll just piss you off. EDIT - Ah, I see you closed it. Edited February 22, 2010 by Salt Peanuts
GPH Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Wow, the Head-fi thread is a massive douchebaggery contest, it's incredible how some people lack manners on the internet. Apparently TTVJ fucked up, but it's not like he owed anything to anyone and I think this sale was a pretty nice gesture from him to his customers. I hate those asshats who are destroying the small bit of community that still exists at on HF.
Duggeh Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 I read through the large chunk of that thread and it is a mixed shitstorm of fail. I sent Todd an email saying what amounted to "bad luck on the arseholes". For what good it is. Well stamped on tbh. But sad that the BS happened in the first place.
Aura Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 After the drama over quality control mishaps with FI v. F1 and now this clusterfuck with b-stock, I'm sorta thinking Todd won't ever want to play middleman again for Grado's special edition runs for HF (if we see another one at all). Who can blame him? And more importantly, does the general membership even deserve SE stuff? Half these guys don't seem to understand the concept of appreciation or gratitude. Oh and fuck that fucking douchefuck Necrolis, seriously.
n_maher Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Oh and fuck that fucking douchefuck Necrolis, seriously. I'm putting the word out, if any of you ever see one of these douchebags flip these HF-2s I'm counting on you to let me know. I give you my most solemn vow that justice will be swift, it will be righteous, and it will be without mercy.
