Those updates are real hollow when he did the exact same thing in December, and nobody got their keyboards shipped. Several of the guys on the "To Ship Tomorrow" have been waiting 3+ months since that post.
Dude, you are getting updates, you should be happy about that. Give the guy a break ffs. He is obviously getting back into the swing of shipping stuff again. I am sure it is not very motivating to have to put up with you guys gripping and *****ing every time he checks the thread. Its this type of attitude that leads to radio silence.
You guys are pissing me off at this point and that is not an easy thing to do. I have been trying to get things moving here and getting Sprit to make updates and you guys respond with this crap. Jesus...
No, Sprit's attitude caused this outlook on this GB. Not the opposite way around. As far as being happy about getting updates, it's been proven time and time again that Sprit's word is meaningless as he constantly breaks his own deadlines. How many users have been told that he's "shipping tomorrow" only to wait months? Telling me to be "happy" to get 2 updates in all of 2015 is ridiculous, it's almost April.
No thanks. Until I see some users actually receive their keyboards, I'll reserve judgment. Last time everyone lauded him for resuming shipping December, only a handful of users actually received anything as evidenced by the previous posts.
When you take in tens of thousands of other people's dollars, have half-assed communication, break your own promises numerous times, benefit of the doubt goes out the window.
I recommend you never run a GB because I guarantee you we would all get shafted...
You are straight up neglecting to factor in reality. Sprit has invested his own money into this so he could get some board variants to moq because he did not have enough orders for him to keep his "promises". He has probably invested more of his own money in this than you have. You know how many different iterations of plates and cases he has gone through? No, of course not because you would rather sit there on your high horse and *****. I happen to know that the plates that you will own when you get your order will be better than the ones I own. I know this because sprit has improved his plates in this process based on mine and other first receivers feedback.
You probably shouldn't joint any more GBs because this attitude is guaranteed to sore them as well...
>I recommend you never run a GB because I guarantee you we would all get shafted...
I certainly wouldn't make promises I can't fulfill, and then proceed to break them time after time. If I did that on my job, I'd lose it the 2nd time it happened. My issue with this GB is not so much the time, it's the lack of response, and how Sprit likes to break promises time and time again.
Why tell people you're going to ship, if you're going to disappear for 3 months? Why tell me you'll "ship tomorrow", extract a "shipping fee" from me, then not do anything/respond to messages?
>No, of course not because you would rather sit there on your high horse and *****.
Because it's apparently acceptable to take in tens of thousands, make unfulfilled promises, then leave for 2 months. How do you respond to the user, who had Sprit take money from him for shipping, tell him he's "shipping tomorrow" (in July 2014), and still hasn't shipped. You think that's acceptable?
BTW, please explain why Sprit's blackballed from most of the Korean community. He's not trusted in any of them, and certainly is not trusted to handle a GB. There's allegations of scamming in several of the prominent forums.
>You probably shouldn't joint any more GBs because this attitude is guaranteed to sore them as well...
My attitude is caused by the organizer, not the other way around. Look at Ivan's GB's, look at the SIP mod GB, look at the dozens of other Kustom GB's. None have turned out like this.
The attitude of the users is a reflection of the GB. If you break promises numerous times, then don't expect the attitude of the users to be good. This is not a reflection of GH so much is it a reflection of how ****ty Sprit has been. You get out what you put in.
Sprit apologists like you only encourage other GB's to be run in a crap manner. It's unbelievable how you can still engage in victim blaming, when clearly it is the GB buyers that got shafted. I bet you'd be singing a different tune if you had $1,XXX in the GB, and haven't received product or message for over a year.
