So where is he ? I dropped him an e-mail.
I want some LV6100's because they are much better according to him than the LV2000.

Well, they're NOT better if they are NOT available.

I've got money here waiting, who is it going to go to ?

Same goes for the DK switchers, the ZZPU boards. What good is all this "vapor" ware ?

Mark, your SW/ESB kit is great and I fully enjoy it, but I need more !
 
Mark doesn't visit her often any more. You can reach him just about any day on IRC though. If you want to know the server, let me know.
 
He was here a couple days ago (as HudsonArcade). I heard there were some temp bans coming, but I thought he posted after that, so I didn't think he'd been back long enough from the last one to need another. As they haven't said anything about who might have been banned or when or for how long, I don't know if he was included.

I agree that he always seems to crap on everyone else's for sale items and how his are so much better, but it also seems everyone has problems contacting him or getting responses. He always says he responds to what he gets, but it's hard to believe that so many different people would all have the same problem...

I'm frustrated trying to contact him too. I actually got an email from him a while back which was a delayed response, and didn't fully answer my question about buying some chips. Probably need LV6100's too (I need to read up on that), and who knows what else. I'd love to see a full list of stuff he has for sale. I'd probably be ready to buy a fair amount of stuff if I could just get some pretty simple replies.

Maybe right now he's just not that interested in selling some of this stuff for whatever reason, like lack of time or something.
 
Sure sucks when the "go to" guy gets run out of dodge, huh?

Maybe ADMIN can answer your questions?

Seems like it had been a long ass time since he had built/sold anything anyway. He always chimed in about "needed to test" or "waiting for parts", etc.

The bans have nothing to do with it, IMO.
 
Yeah, I think I contacted him about 3-4 months ago about possibly buying a Vs. switcher and he said he didn't rhave any left and that he would get back to me if he ever did make more. I never got a response. I'm guessing he's cut back on making all this stuff to sell or he's just busy. No big deal. I can live with swapping out PCBs.
 
Hows this for old school. I met my wife via IRC... sort of. I went to an IRC party (we used to have some big ole beach-bonfire bashes back in the day) and met Lisa (my wife) there... she's friends with a chick I knew from IRC. That was 12 years ago damn near.
 
Spaeth is hard to get ahold of but I sent him $35.00 to email addy [email protected] with LV6100 as description. I heard ZERO from him but low and behold ~7 days later I received one.
I wish he'd setup a site with a shopping cart. Geez man it's a sad day when Bob Roberts or Arcadeshops site is better than his lol. And their sites suck! I guess I don;t get wound up over shit anymore simply because I'm grateful some of these guys even bother making this crap and lastly eventually the newness wears off and you're bored of said game anyway. So really who cares.....not me.

I don't think the bans have anything to do with it either, or he probably wouldn't have contacted me talking as though he was willing to sell. That's why I think he's just too busy, lost some motivation, or whatever. If I get the stuff from him, great, but if not I won't lose sleep. However it's to the benefit of the community to have people like him contributing to the hobby so I hope he doesn't decide to just quit selling stuff altogether.

Deadly, if I could get prices on the stuff I wanted I'd probably do the same. :)
 
Since the word 'ban' keeps showing up in this thread it might be worth mentioning that a new thread about current bans will likely be posted within an hour.
 
One should ask themselves...

...does making posts about who got banned really "help" the situation at all? Sure, it's interesting reading for the rest of the users, but wouldn't the more prudent thing to do simply be to ban the offenders then move on.

I thought the powers that be were attempting to curtail the drama? How does posting "We're going to be banning people today" posts and "these are the people we banned" posts curtailing the drama? They seem to be adding to said drama... no?
