I wondered why I paid. Theres nothing useful for the members and I have yet to receive my kit.

The so called deals are a crock. I called and inquired about items and was fed the same prices before they knew who referred me.

Except for a bad link email I sent, they usually dont respond to email. Their web skills seem to be lacking, from the uncomfortable design to the poorly laid out message board. Yet when I offered to help them tweak the board , I was ignored.

Take a look at http://board.3dfiles.com/

Note how you can tell where everyone is from, private messaging, voice\chat link, custom user statuses, spell checking and TONS more. Most of this requires hacking of the scripts themselves and is not difficult. I would also like to offer my services here if you need help getting this forum to kick ass. In one week, people would come here over there just for the features alone. Oh, none of these hacks cost anything and neither would my help. I considered doing this myself because I knew I could do it better. I offer my services because I would like to be a part of a better community then what we currently have.

The “poorly laid out message board” appears to be the same as this one and the one on the link that you sent me so I don’t understand where you are going with that.

As for my web skills lacking I have successfully worked on over 60 web sites including the realrod.com site and have only heard praise from owners and customers alike.

Example:
Topic: Thanks, JimWebGuy!

Some of you may have an idea what it takes to keep a website up and running - so you can appreciate what a job it is to keep an active website like this going - Thanks again, Jim WebGuy!

In agreement!! Lots of time, creativity and patience! Thanks Jim "WebGuy"!

The PPC web site is not my “fulltime job” and I am limited to the amount of time I can dedicate to it but I have always attempted to do my best and work all night if need be one time leaving my family during vacation to try and fix a problem with the discussion forum. I now ask my self for what!

Your e-mails have not been ignored, as you noted you received a reply thanking you for the tip on the bad link, which is on my list to be fixed. Your e-mail offering help with upgrading the discussion forum was very much welcomed due to my time restrictions. I believe this e-mail was received by me on Thursday June 29th you have not been responded to yet for two reasons. Number one: I am not at liberty to make changes to the web site without talking to someone about it. I visited the link you sent me and put it on my list of things to bring up during my next meeting. The second reason is that I closed my shop for the holiday weekend and was hoping not to have to work during it but I guess that idea failed.

If you have a problem with the PPC or a PPC official that is between you and them DO NOT involve or take it out on me!

Again, JIM, as I stated in email, I apologize for it all landing on you, that was not my intent.

Guess to get a refund, I have to start again and find the man.

Looking forward to talking to you voice tommorow.

Tim, I received your apology, thank you. I would just like to remark about me sharing the email with everyone. I strongly believe that these types of matters should be dealt with one-on-one and NOT in a public forum BUT I also believe that if someone posts a remark about anyone in public, that person has a right to respond to it in public. That was my intention. Had you privately e-mailed me and told me I sucked I would have privately e-mailed you back and said, no I don't!
