Alex, this is mad! I was going to buy SEVERAL LED displays from you (I was complimenting you last week) but this is simply insane what you are doing. In order to get our business you are going to have to do something incredible to redeem yourself. Otherwise our entire fleet of route games will continue using plasma displays, and any other replacement parts you would otherwise offer. Sorry but you have really screwed the pooch over this whole Thunderbirds thing.

#230 10 years ago

Well since it seems redemption won't be happening, I wish you good luck without the richest continent in the world supporting you. I will have ABSOLUTELY no trouble sourcing parts from others. It's not you who don't need us, it's us who don't need you. Areivederci, you have now completely ruined your worldwide reputation and are doomed to fail.

I was prepared to say, "Shut up and take my money" because he seems to be developing great products. We were prepared to spend hundreds. But no, instead I was blatantly discriminated against by someone with a flawed argument who can't take mild criticism on a public forum. Now can we please close this thread?

#366 10 years ago
Quoted from Rarehero:

You mean -
"Awl foind a wai, mate!"

#413 10 years ago

Stop changing the website. Now he removed the "idiots with small minds" comment and added "The very next problem I have with a PP chargeback will result in it being removed as a payment option entirely." You already shot one foot, might as well take the other with it!

#517 10 years ago

And Mike mysteriously disappears from the face of this thread.

#546 10 years ago

Ditto, we will be picking up X-Pin's DMDs instead.

#556 10 years ago

Post the forum links please, and can you get that thread from AussiePinball? Can't see it without having an account. The entertainment continues.

#559 10 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

I didn't see it that way. He said too many. Now who could argue with that?

Then perhaps blanket banning entire continents based on the (unverified) actions of a few isn't arguable either?

#561 10 years ago

To me excluding 99% of your potential customers just to whine over what the other 1% is doing is more of a financial burden and reputation nuke than anything.

#588 10 years ago

And can we finally close this thread??

#591 10 years ago
Quoted from tomdotcom:

Mike you should just stop posting here. With every new comment you make, you sound more and more insane/ignorant and angry at life.

Quoted from ChadH:

So either his math is wrong and his page needs to be updated or I am misunderstanding.

There is a 66% chance you are correct on your math...

Quoted from frolic:

I know most things are made in China these days, bit pinball isn't one of them. I don't know if I'd actively promote that. Can't see it helping me sell anything, and of course people might stay away.

Nonsense, we have Medieval Magnets, Circus Vargas, Mars Attracts, and Abrahams Family, all proud products of the great Republic of China!

#694 10 years ago

Wow, that's insulting.

#699 10 years ago

BWAAHAHAH i nearly wet myself.

Can't be as bad as this:

Quoted from PopBumperPete:

Why do you care?
I cannot see you buying one

Nor can you see hundreds of others buying one!

#711 10 years ago
Quoted from RGR:

Guy designs pinball.... people pay him out (give him shit)... Somethings not right here....

Did you read the thread?

#721 10 years ago
Quoted from solarvalue:

Well, there is nothing on the website that I can see that says that any US ban is in force.

#724 10 years ago

He claims it's not a money problem yet complains that the reason is about PayPal chargebacks. Which is honestly a non-issue, he's the first guy I've ever seen to complain about such a thing.

Quoted from Homepin:

Last time I looked calling someone a "dickbag" and "you are full of shit" and "lying dinosaur" all in the one post pretty much amounts to a personal attack - but you might have different morals to me......so you are not only a liar but a bad one at that...

And sometimes I can't believe he still works for JJP with that kind of attitude.

#862 10 years ago
Quoted from Atomicboy:

Homepin - I tried to start this whole thing over in a new direction, as I'm interested in what you are doing, but I think you need to seriously put to bed this while anti-North American crap for good. You got bent out of shape over a very few people in the beginning, and after ranting about north American, many others (of course) jumped in (like that wouldn't happen if someone was attacking the Aussies for example).

Great idea. I'm almost out of popcorn. Lets get this thread back on track. Please!

#884 10 years ago
Quoted from PopBumperPete:

Mike is also making his own DMD displays using individual LEDs
(so they should look better than LED DMD's already available)

Seems dated to say the least. Look at ColorDMD, JJP, MarsaPlay. Seems like it should at least have an LCD. Even DMD Extender with its limited colorizing options looks as good or better than ColorDMD in many cases.
