MMB, MagicMeatBall, Bro Caps, BroFists... What's the story?

[litster]

Is MMB the same as BroFists and MagicMeatball?  I heard bad stories about MagicMeatball, that he did bad deals and didn't honor deals.  So I just want to confirm MMB's identity one way or the other.  Thanks.

Cool story, bro.

Is Bro Caps the same BroFists?

He's always done right by me.

[esoomenona]

I've done a couple deals with the man and they both went very smoothly.

[balanar]

Woah just read the entire thing! All I have to say that is I have not had many opportunities to deal with MMB but on those occasions that I did, everything went ok.

[metalliqaz]

He once shipped me something before I even paid!

[litster]

so is MMB the same as the old, no-longer-exist MagicMeatball?

[Halverson]

MagicMeatball changed his name to MMB. Then he creates bro caps. Then MMB left.
And now brocaps lives on. I can only guess its MMB.

[tjcaustin]

That MMB/bro caps guy sold me an awesome keyboard, keycaps and even threw in a one off bro cap!  That son of a biscuiteater!

[longweight]

It is him, he left a really nice message in my clack sale thread when I mentioned that I wasn't going to be on here much anymore.
 
Really nice guy

that thread then references this dropbox
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/422021/rightwrong/rightwrong.htm

in short mmb is a scammer i guess, i completely side with tabao agent for 2 reasons
1. she's asian
2. he charged back

i hate idiots that charge back, cuz they know they'll win 90% of the time, which is why i never deal with ppl to ppl with paypal if i'm on the receiving end of funds.

no idea why this thread was brought up, brings to reason why threads shouldn't be deleted tho, i mean sooner or later someone is gonna go "omg someone save this thread b4 the mods delete it!)

[Michael]

It was never a secret of who I am, so I'm not sure what your point is here.
Anyone who knows me, knows. I stopped posting on MMB and moved to this account
since key caps was the majority of what I was doing here, having dropped from the 'game'.

I can't really see the point of posting a very old thread in a matter that was settled
between Lin and I long ago, other than to make unnecessary drama.

I was refunded money for a busted keyboard through PayPal because Lin refused to refund me
or settle the matter in any way (read the emails), and Lin received her money back in the form of keeping
the 2x 3700 Keypads that I paid for. The matter is over, and there isn't any point in bringing it up.
If you read through the thread, you will see actual emails posted with the full story between Lin
and I, instead of the 1-sided opinions, such as dante, that seems to be showing up here.

Nothing else for me to say that hasn't already been said to death about the matter between
Lin and I over at DT.

As for my credibility, you can ask multitudes of GH users, as well as some people at DT that I have traded with.
I have all good dealings with. If there is ever a problem, we work it out.

It's unfortunate that some people feel the need to make drama, through some deficiency in their lives.
Sorry to disappoint you, but there really isn't anything more to discuss here.

Can we please not go through this a third time?

Actually, no, it wasn't a charge back. It was an open dispute with Lin, which if you READ the email and PayPal notes, you would know this. Her refusal to remedy the situation resulted in the escalation
of the PayPal claim.

So you side with her for two horribly arbitrary reasons and won't use your own experiences?

And really, why does it matter what you "heard" that anyone's done?

Wow, it has already been that long since that drama xD.

Edit: this thread will probably get locked or deleted soon =/

1. of course, no one defends the chinese, they just think they are a bunch of greedy gold sellers with  bad accents.
2. doesn't matter what was opened up, dispute/chargeback it's all the same to paypal, it's a complaint while paypal pretends to arbitrate they will just return the money back to the buyer, that's basically abusing the system of paypal giving the buyer whatever they want, this also puts an infraction on the seller's account, justified or not, too many and their account is closed, sometimes with an outstanding balance that is lost, and never again allowed to use paypal.

mmb was just taking advantage of the situation that lintabao was
1. a woman
2. asian
3. paypal will always side with the buyer

i don't know why this was brought up again tho,

either way does Geekhack have a dedicated tabao person anymore? no, geekhack suffers cuz of greed.

[Michael]

Again, your failure to thoroughly read through the entirety and get the straight facts is not my problem. She in fact, did not provide ME personally, with the satisfaction of resolving an issue that I first personally contacted her about and attempted to resolve. Countless emails trying to correct the matter with her went unattended, and that was the only reason the matter was escalated through PayPal.

What is your deal with bringing up race, as if that had anything to do with the matter? Seems you are genuinely race-driven. This had nothing to do with the matter, as I deal with plenty of Asian people on a regular basis.

[Alessandro]

Why do we need to do this again? MMB is a great guy.

[Lanx]

lemme go ripoff some asians on GH and then i'll change my name to Xnal

besides it wasn't me that brought it up, you did in that whole DT thread, seemed pretty scammy to me.

I've said my piece on the rest of it so I won't rehash how you sound like a pretentious ass for thinking you have to be Asia and women's champions.  But maybe you should do just a *smidge* of looking before you say things like there aren't any dedicated taobao people here anymore.  I think that imsto would feel surprised to know he doesn't exist.

:eats popcorn: why all the **** talking, guys? This has been discussed before, and put to rest, lin and mmb worked it out. Do something positive / productive with your time rather than trying to make yourselves feel better by calling someone names on the Internet.

every thread needs a white knight.

so MMB is MagicMeatball is BroFists is Bro Caps?  One for all and all for one?

[thegunner100]

That seems to be the case.

[jcrouse]

so MMB is MagicMeatball is BroFists is Bro Caps?  One for all and all for one?

Yes for the other three, not sure about Bro Fist, sounds a little dirty to me

[jabar]

I think it's devious that MMB pulled a prima donna maneuver, having his BroCaps subforum archived, his old account Guested... then he comes back a week later on BroCaps and starts harassing SmallFry in the Classifieds.

[i3oilermaker]

You want some popcorn too i3oiler?

I kinda of think this thread was trolling from the beginning.

MMB/BroCaps is alright in my book.

[dirge]

mmb take some time out and think about things.  I don't think you're too far gone, can be hard to look at yourself and realize your wrong.  Rather you corrected your approach than continued your path.

[dorkvader]

I have reviewed this topic and split off some posts. They can always be restored at any time by another moderator, should we choose. I will be away for a few hours tonight, so Please PM a moderator that is online if you want your post restored, and we can discuss it.

I split off all popcorn related posts, and some others that appeared to have some defamation or personal attacks. I don't think anyone will miss the former. The latter: I have PM'd the users in question and I am helping to mediate between these people.

If you have any questions specific to this topic (this decision), PM me and I'll get back to you.

Thanks, and sorry about all the fuss,
