I want to encourage anyone who paid money who has not been contacted please let us know you are owed an order.
I can't speak for the other guys but personally I'll do whatever I can to help people get what they ordered however most if not all of the parts have already been sorted into shipments for the individual proxies based on the information we have. Hopefully we will get them soon so we can start shipping things out.
Having said that the hard truth is
-some orders simply won't be fulfilled; at best until we get a majority of orders out and find we have extras or possibly not at all due to not having the proper information and/or parts
-not everyone who does get an order will get everything they ordered
Some parts were never ordered (just a reminder the money is long gone and that has nothing to do with any of us currently involved), other parts have already been found out to be short on amount and as has been mentioned we are limited by the information we have been given to work from.
The names that have been posted in this thread are the only names the CONUS proxies have an order on record for.
Don't give up hope, we all want this to succeed as best it can.
I just updated myself from April (my last post) to today, and it appears I should still be waiting on a email from HoffmanMyster for my information confirmation. I have yet to receive that. It appears he has all the supplies now, and my name is 16th on his list.
Also, does anyone care to just give a brief recap of what the hell happened from start to finish?
I'll give it my best shot. Other people can chime in and correct me please?
Buy was running, WFD was supposed to run manufacturing, looks like jdcarpe did management of orders to some degree, TJ collected money at request of JD. Switches were being bought from 7-bit and seperately.
WFD goes silent and dissapears(Page 55-60ish?) after prototypes are needed to be made for a 3rd time (possible cause of less money later on?). Luckily, TJ was the one who collected money (iirc, he had a paypal account built for it given that he'd done bigger buys like Klaxon before). People rallied and got stuff built anyways and all shipped to TJ. PCBs were built but some of the shipping was not paid for. People ragged on TJ. TJ decided he had no interest in actually making buy happen anymore (due to personal attacks and/or other? Not entirely sure. Frankly, TJ signed on to originally just take money, but WFD pulling a houdini ****ed him over. TJ actually agreed to take on a herculean part of the work of the buy before people started attacking him.) Buy goes silent in terms of movement for months and months. Buy is considered lost.
Bunny (at this point, somewhat knowledgeable in salvaging dead GBs unfortunately), Matt3o and komar managed to get ahold of TJ, and get **** moving again. Managed to get TJ to release all the components/money, got the boards shipped to the EU. Komar shipps bunny switches as well. (around page 95 of this thread). Matt3o takes over getting stuff through the US. When Bunny gets the $$$ it's MUCH less than it should be (never sure that was sorted out). Samwisekoi agrees to sort out everything that's shipped to him, which turns out to be a crapton of things, but not everything that was ordered is there, AND weird things like mixed clears/whites have occurred. A call is made for people to take on some of the load, Spamray, Hoffman and Mashby agree to take charge of that (as well as I'm sure multiple other people volunteered, but they were all chosen because they're known to get things done).
Samwise sorts all the things, and mails them to the proxies. Spamray and Hoff are working through what they get. Mashby's shipment was mis-shipped at some point, and has just arrived, but he's been dealing with life stuff due to all the flooding that's been going on in the south.
All of the people up above (besides WFD, but tbh....**** WFD) have pretty much saved this GB from turning into vapor at some point, and should be thanked for that. There's also a lot of side stuff that had to do with stabs not being available, then IvanIvanovitch got those handled. So props to him too.
Edit: I've been reading through and updating as stuff gets clearer. Also, I've been getting angrier as i've been reading through the bull**** in the high 70s, early 80s of this thread.
