Esrice, you would wrong to think no one gets tired to the management and leaves.

Do Not Mistake Toleration for Love

You LOVE INGO. Don't dispute it.

 

[Eddie]

You LOVE INGO. Don't dispute it.

I love INGO, but I also like to nitpick and complain. Just ask my wife.

Oh I'm not saying it doesn't happen. Sometimes entirely new websites are built because of it. And that's cool. I admire someone who takes it upon themselves to build what they see as a better mousetrap.

Why is it that the mod's seem to really dislike all the complaing that they get and yet they want to continue to be a mod? ...

Don't you know how much they get paid for being a mod?

 

[Tactical Dave]

I was given an infraction for it on Wednesday.

Well. that shut me up........... I was wrong. Sorry to the mods.

Don't you know how much they get paid for being a mod?

Handsomly with many cases of MRE's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then they come crawling back...

No...seriously though. I don't know if this was the reasoning for doing away with group buys or not. Say someone sinks a butt-load of money into a buy. They get shafted and lose said butt-load of money. What is to stop them from suing INGO to attempt to recoup said butt-load?

There's always lots of talk on here about suing someone for this...or suing someone for that... (I don't know why people don't get jobs and work to earn money rather than suing people to put their kids through college...but that's just me) Sooner or later...when someone gets pissed off enough after losing a butt-load...that's what will happen. And INGO will be named in the law suit.

Now whether or not INGO is found liable...it's going to cost Fenway bucks for an attorney. Those guys do nothing for free.

Waiver? Pronounced worthless piece of paper.

That's just my take on it. I may be way off base. Maybe Fenway and the mods just got tired of all the PM's insisting they do something about some guy that took their butt-load of money.

But I don't have a dog in the fight...so it matters not to me.

So I just want to get this straight. I can't go into, say, the ammunition section and tell people I found a great deal on x39mm and we could get an even better deal if we order 10K rounds instead of by the case and ask that some people go in on the deal with me?

I think he is saying he is glad to see people see something they don't agree with and instead of colpaining start their own site......

I know someone that did this on a race site because he did not like what was going on and he now has the most recognizable drag race site and well known races now put decals with the site name on their race cars...... it is the dominate drag site bar none...... with tons of big name racers on it. He was also against sponsors because he saw that they were allowed to get away with a lot...... His site has sponsors but they are non paying.... it is a every man for yourself additude and if you get scamed then all well...... now if you press charges then the site owner will do everything he can to help the investigators like providing IP addresses and stuff.

Fenway doubled our salary for 2010.

I know what he was saying...and that's a cool story you added.

Can I get on that?

Yes, you can tell people about the deal.

No, you cannot organize a bulk purchase with multiple buyers through the INGO fourm, as we will no longer have a Group Buy forum. You can, however, organize it anywhere else you'd like.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was saying.

 

[esrice]

I'll give you quadruple my salary in 5.56 ammo.

Just gotta find a postage stamp. . . . . .

You LOVE INGO. Don't dispute it.

But I'm a masochist

Can I borrow $500? My dog needs neutered.

I wish he would pay you guys something...

Because then whenever a mod intervened in a thread...

I could say...

"I pay your salary!"

I think maybe we could find an approach to group buys that would be more reliable and safe. I have not yet participated in an INGO group buy, but i do quite a few of them with my local survival group and it really can save people a good deal of money.

Is there a possibility we could make a group buy forum where people can at least talk about organizing a group buy, and not do it formally through the site?

Or maybe we can take it the other way, have more control and only have group buys that are approved by a mod?

Either way, i would like to think we can find a way to put the safety of our members first, and still be able to share good deals with each other.
