eightbit Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Well after reading this thread it seems there is ALOT of pissed off people, some very patient people and a half dozen or so blinded sheep who would accept spit off the street as nectar from a god even if punched in the back of the head while they licked it up. Crazy stuff but an intresting read none the less. Well, I certainly hope I am not considered in the third category I am being very patient (as many are) and I hope for the best. But if it turns out sour it will be something that I will handle *much* differently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Curt, The complainers around here may be LOUD, but they are far out numbered by the level headed folks who are patiently waiting for you to finish this project. Please don't let them discourage you. You are doing great work and there are hundreds of people here who appreciate it. Sergio has already cost us Pacmanplus. Don't let him drive you off. He's just a troll. Tep392 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NML32 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 It's a shame that there's always a few that can ruin a good thing. I've been watching this thread and have seen how much hard work Curt has put into this project and has made every effort possible to make this as perfect as he can. I for one don't have a problem with delays when I know it's going to be a top notch product once it reaches my doorstep. Thanks Curt!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapetino Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Curt, I think it's understandable that you're feeling shat upon and unappreciated by a select minority. That's a terrible reception for someone who has done so much to keep this hobby alive and well. Just know that your work and efforts are definitely appreciated, and we're excited about receiving this labor of love when it's ready. Maybe the majority of voices who support what you're doing and support it wholeheartedly will allow you to consider another direct project like this in the future. I'd be pretty pissed at the troublemakers around here if they kept you from bringing more of these great projects to the world. Let us know how we can help and support you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Alright. enough is enough. This time, two strikes, you're out. MODERATORS: just ban this dude. Sorry, Sermajic- first Bob, now Curt.... you're out dude! This is just nonsense. There are enough of us that love and support this hobby that we just don't need this. -Chris I wish you would post this twice so I could +1 more than once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eightbit Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Hold on just a second guys... I understand that Curt is doing something good for the community. BUT, if you pay money for anything you would at least expect some kind of answer as to what is going on with your order after nearly TEN months. Come on now. I placed my order in Sept of 2010, and I was fully aware that this could take some time. But I have emailed Legacy just to simply enquire about the money I had paid them and what is going on with my order.... and receive absolutely no reply at all. I have to work on the words of a few people here and how they have "faith" in the project? I need something better than that. A simple answer from the *company* I send my money over to would definitely be a more solid answer to my question. Again (as I have said before) I do not think that Curt is trying to screw anyone, but the lack of communication with his *customers* (people that actually paid for this) is extremely concerning. I ended up sending an email through Legacy's site once again, now simply requesting a refund. I have no other choice at this point. Somehow I am not expecting a response on this either, and that is a troubling thing. Maybe I am wrong on this and I really hope that I am. But all I am asking as a customer that has pre-paid for a product is that I get some kind of personal answer as to the status. It is not so hard to simply email a reply and say "not done yet"...just to let me know someone over at Legacy Engineering is still alive, is it? EDIT: Curt responded to me and is issuing a refund via check by mail. SOrry again that it had to come to this, but it was at least good to receive a reply.

Cebus Capucinis Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 This does not show our community in a good light to anyone at all..... Very sad to see it. I am still eagerly looking forward to the 7800 XM, personally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how many people preordred the XM but let say 100. I don't think he will have the time to personally answer everyone. Instead what he is doing is updating the XM status page frequently since the debut of the project. So this is his way to communicate with all his customers in an efficient way.
