    Quoted from bluespin:

    We found Otaku’s new Pinside handle, it's @coldond3. Obviously this isn’t the real Colson; no posting pin pickups in the what did you bring home forum for two weeks, not logging into Pinside for two weeks, and showing up in this forum right after we had Steven’s most recent handle blocked.
    Are these coincidences? I think not! I think Steven hijacked Colson’s handle!

    Quick! Ask him something only Colson would know

    #2019 3 years ago

    Man I was hoping you weren't coming back. I've already blocked seeing your posts in all the FB groups we are in together. I got tired of seeing you give bad repair advise to people that didn't know any better. Hopefully your involvement on this site is restricted to this thread so i can drain it and not see you on here either.

    #2025 3 years ago
    Quoted from Ericc123:

    You either need the money because you are hard hit by the pandemic or you don't because you are a shrewd successful business man. Black or white. You can't have it both ways which is why people call you a grifter. If you were honest more people would respect you.

    #2029 3 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    We're all hit hard, no matter how well we're doing. It's all relative. The last year of being open before this went down were a huge success. That has nothing to do with right now, whatsoever, and it will return that way as soon as this passes.

    That has everything to do with right now. If you are having "huge success", that means you need to put some of that "huge success" money in the bank for a rainy day. Maybe when you say "huge success", you don't mean financially. If so, I think you need to reevaluate how you are measuring for business' success. Have you ever actually taken any courses on running a business? Or finance courses to know how to actually handle your finances appropriately?

    Quoted from Otaku:

    Very few people have a safety fund for 4+ months of 0 income, and small businesses tend to run on smaller margins.

    4 months of bills is literally the standard for a financial safety net. With your "huge success", you should have at least that. Maybe you can blame this on an age thing again. I personally couldn't sleep at night knowing that a small bump in my income could financially ruin my family to the point of me asking strangers for a hand out. Hell I used to clean toilets for $5.00/hr and I'd do it again to take care of my family. If I was in your shoes, I would have been driving for some food delivery service or grinding in any way to take care of my family. Instead of sitting behind a computer screen asking people in the same financial situation to give me money.

    This is a good time. Oh boy.

    Shouldn't you be running your business right now instead of dicking around on Pinside........

    Quoted from Otaku:

    Keep laughing, but the numbers don't lie. It's a hard couple of months right now, but I hope to soon be back to easily serving over 10,000 customers per year. I'm not sure why that number sounds so far off to you guys. Just checked the books and it's not an untrue statement. Our customers have a very heavy return prescence, we have over 5,000 dedicated Facebook fans, and with all the press we've got our network is around 75,000 seeing our Facebook posts now in the local area. The numbers are there. Keep hatin'

    We all would LOVE to see your books. Are they written in Crayon?

    #2048 3 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    Crayola. No RoseArt BS around here.

    Because you have the money to afford the good stuff from all the donations...

    #2052 3 years ago
    Quoted from pacmanretro:

    Or you could go hustle on making a game sale or doing a side gig of some kind to help afford to keep your own business afloat and take down your gofundme

    Never met a business owner that only worked during their business' hours

    #2055 3 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    not sure what you mean

    That is actually a great analogy for the situation...

    #2073 3 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    Why so upset? Having a business account (run by somebody else) and a personal account is usually how things are done. Good to seperate. I'm just one link in the chain, and want to keep personal opinions to myself.

    Why are you still here and not running your business.....

    #2121 3 years ago
    Quoted from Electrocute:

    Didn’t know they got married. Would of loved to have attended the reception. I’m usually the first to hit on the bride or blow chunks. Which ever comes first.

    With the amount he types here, his vows must have taken an hour or two and were mostly gibberish consisting of lies, excuses, exaggerations, and a plug for his GoFundMe

    #2125 3 years ago
    Quoted from edward472:

    With the amount he types here, his vows must have taken an hour or two and were mostly gibberish consisting of lies, excuses, exaggerations, and a plug for his GoFundMe

    And he still didn't get around to answering the question "Do you take this woman...?"

    #2150 3 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    I'm not the one keeping this train rolling, and haven't been for a long time

    Yes you are. You reactivated your account. You came back to post here. You created a false account to troll this thread This is the definition of fueling the flames. You literally gave the train more fuel to burn and put your foot on the gas. Do you consider a day a long time? I can't. I just can't.

    #2330 3 years ago

    Easiest way is sell the games that are making you the least amount of money. If you have any idea what you are doing, you should be auditing every game regularly. Sell the low hanging fruit until you make enough to #paytheboob. You know you need to cut the losers. Rotate other games you have in storage to fill the gaps left by said losers. Problem solved. You have the same number of games on the floor so no impact to your bottom line. You #paytheboob so he's whole. And you might get a shred of respect from people here. And that's where the long hard road could start to rebuilding your reputation and relationship with the community.

    #2366 3 years ago

    I'm just waiting here for his next shill account to open up and start responding that it's totally not him

    Saw this earlier today in one of my FB groups while scrolling through some comments. The OP was looking for opinions on a hydraulic lift cart. I bet he thought beelzeboobs escalara was terribly unreliable too

    #2633 3 years ago

    I would love for the mods to chime in as to why the business account hasn't been banned. If I made another account and posted anywhere on Pinside, I'd be instabanned. Since when do the rules not apply to everyone? We should all make unbannable business accounts and make our first post a for sale post for a shitty game at triple the going rate. Then come in here a say whatever the hell we want. Since that's how it works around here.

    #2638 3 years ago
    Quoted from RWH:

    Pure supposition on my part but I'm guessing because the account is in Mrs. name she has not been banned and is free to post. I can't see any other path that makes sense other than that.

    Good to know. My wife will making an account that totally isn't me tonight. Hell might as well get my mom in on this loophole while I'm at it. If you see someone posting under the name NotEdward472, that's my wife. ReallyNotEdward472 will be my mom. Edward472! will be a guy I hire through fiver so that I can talk through him to all of you. Again totally not me.

    Quoted from Gameseum:

    As our final post, we encourage people here to actually read what is already written and clearly explained before commenting

    First, welcome back Steven. I knew you couldn't stay away. And trust us. We've read it all. Well not everything you wrote because only you could read that much mindless dribble. I encourage you (Steven, Steven's wife/girlfriend, unfortunate employee who is being made to type replies for minimum wage but is still most likely Steven) to read everything here and actually answer the questions that are still unanswered. Or just leave like you promised. This thread was all but dead and then here comes Steven like the Koolaid Man busting through the wall looking for attention. I think you just missed all the attention since you don't care if it's good or bad attention. Don't you have an expensive soldering iron that you borrowed that you need to wave around like a magic wand, then drop when you burn yourself because you don't know which end is the hot end? Then return it to the original owner without telling them you broke it.

    #2798 3 years ago
    Quoted from Gameseum:

    Again, reading comprehension...
    Please read and refer to the post we literally made 2 MINUTES AGO where Steven literally clearly offers to either mend the situation himself OR pay for repairs, to Randy himself:
    [quoted image]
    Thanks!
    The lack of reading comprehension here is uncanny.
    We feel everybody here should actually read what is written before replying, and pay attention, and you would see the situation is pleasantly resolved in all corners. At this point it is just us redirecting you to posts that already answered your concerns, let alone posts that were JUST written. Come on.
    We already have addressed any of these concerns many times and the proof is easily found here in this thread, not to mention in replies minutes before your own, that you yourself are quoting in your posts. Read, read, reeeeeead! Please.
    Have a good night guys!

    Quoted from Otaku:

    We also don't have payroll as we have no employees

    You said you didn't have employees. Now you have employees to cover you in the unlikely event boob would accept your help. So you can pay employees but not the boob? See I am reading before replying. Now respond to my question with 2000 words that don't answer my question

    #2819 3 years ago
    Quoted from PismoArcade:

    Any chance of selling some Pay The Boob merch?

    Probably not. Steven has already filed a trademark

    #2824 3 years ago
    Quoted from Flowst:

    No good deed goes unpunished; poor Boob.
    When this Covid nightmare is over, swing by my place (northwest NJ). Free drinks and you can ruin all of my high scores here.
    All of Pinside invited of course. We can call it #thealmightyboobfest. If anyone reads that the wrong way, well.....

    Quoted from pacmanretro:

    WOW!
    1...ONE Percent ratio of upvotes (including Otaku upvoting).
    I guess when your 'business' account hits that level, the best thing to do for your business reputation is to just deactivate your account....not recognize where/who the problem is and try to rectify as much as possible.
    But what do I know.....I'm an old, illiterate, social media ignorant person who has never interacted
    [quoted image]

    Can't wait for the shill business account to be created that totally isn't Gameseum

    #2839 3 years ago
    Quoted from Flowst:

    I say the same thing every time my property tax bill is due
    Seems to be enough Pinsiders in this area though, would be worth the trip just to meet us (and the Almighty Boob himself)
    Make a road trip, stop in Ephrata PA along the way.

    I can think of only one reason to stop in Ephrata

    You're still my hero beelzeboob

    Quoted from EscalaraCroft:

    Escalara Clothing Co FAQ:
    - Not owned by Stephen, Yuppicide, or anyone other than myself.
    - Old designs were made by Yuppicide. I can use them, however he kept paytheboob website name. You'll have to find him and see if he ever turns it into a porn site.
    - I made a few new designs of my own including the Escalara ESTD 2019, Ephrata, PA. That was supposed to be a joke shirt.. I'm going to start making more video game related designs soon.
    - If anyone does want merchandise, I'll gladly donate half the profits to beezleboob for the money he put out for a new escalara, and then also pay off the people who donated to him. I doubt I'll sell a lot of merchandise, but the thought is there.

    Quoted from bbarker007:

    robin martijn tigerlaw the_dude_abides sealclubber @gweenpose pmwolf xerico jodester jlm33 forceflow @daditube
    just curious, any public comment on why this thread is not held to the standards of the pinside rules all other threads are held to? pages reminiscent of this last page pop up often and the continued harassment and insults surely violates the "personal attacks on other pinsiders" rule, "be nice" rule, and a few other rules
    i've read through the thread and counted over 100-150 violations that were not moderated against, some extremely severe, violent, hurtful, harassing, and obvious, meanwhile you moderated otaku for little things like "broken record" and "off topic" on a thread that hasn't been on topic for years considering the purpose of the thread was a 2018 event lol
    and don't say it was because they weren't reported because i and a group of people have been reporting posts as needed, and i doubt even that is necessary, as i know your team is checking this thread out often
    people on klov have been talking and using this thread as a big example/wondering why the mods allow this to continue, i'm genuinely surprised you haven't shut this shitshow down yet
    close the thread like phil-lee and others have said. the site is embarassing itself

    Geez Steven. No one is breaking any rules pertaining to behaviour towards pinsiders. Since Steven himself... I mean you yourself... by his...your?.. own admission and actions is no longer a Pinsider.

    #3524 3 years ago
    Quoted from Electrocute:

    Mondays are actually busier than Saturdays? Not good, should of kept that to himself.
    [quoted image]

    This is so hard to read. How does he not proof read posts from his business page?

    #3583 3 years ago
    Quoted from Flowst:

    Going out on a limb here, but Mr.Steven has a bad case of collector's bug. He has no room for anything else, and can afford even less.
    My home set up is 5 short of filled, yet my wish-list has 33 to go! I could be tempted to add garbage games.
    But if Steven has an arcade, well then it is "business".
    Seeing that bargain basement pin he just (bought), highly doubtful that will be the defining moment of gameseum.

    It not a business. Its a MUSEUM!

    #3632 3 years ago
    Quoted from pacmanretro:

    ROFLMAO!
    I scrolled through some of their latest posts (seems like many comments/questions/concerns always get ignored).
    Went to "like" a couple things and realized I was banned. Fucking HILARIOUS, considering all I EVER did there was ask a couple questions or liked others....never posted any of the painful truths or anything bad.
    Funny shit. Guess I'll need like 10 shill facebook accounts

    I love how every other post on their page is "We're open...." Almost like he thinks no one is showing up because they think the place is closed. I also love how he has time to take that many pictures of an employee cleaning games instead of you know pitching in and cleaning too. You can tell shes not happy behind the mask. I always hated when the boss sat and watched me work.

    #3670 3 years ago
    Quoted from Electrocute:

    I think all the customers took the bus or maybe road in on the bike. [quoted image]

    Girls night out? I saw the outside of that place at night. No way my wife and her friends would go there.

    And do the people of Lancaster county know what a museum is?

    #3814 3 years ago
    Quoted from Electrocute:

    ......it’s 5pm and there ain’t nobody there! Wow.
    [quoted image]

    See. Just like I said. Constantly reassuring people that they are indeed open. That must be the reason there are no people....lack of knowledge about his business hours!

    #3830 3 years ago
    Quoted from pacmanretro:

    Especially when it looks like your face mask is pulled down in pic.
    Yep....TOTALLY being a safe business. If it is pulled down (like it certainly appears), GREAT choice of photo to post after saying how safe and clean your business is.
    Edit: decided to double check original pic...yep, no mask over face in posted business pic. GREAT JOB coronaseum.
    [quoted image]

    It's fine that he removed the post. It will live on forever here.

    #3845 3 years ago
    Quoted from pacmanretro:

    You forgot that the wheel barrow will be damaged.

    And he begged for money on the side of the road to afford the bell

    I just love the first comment. It was in the EM Pinball group which made no sense because he doesn't have any. I think Thomas was paid for his post
