Oh yeah, he banned me because he said that HIS forum was not the place for ME to advertise my stuff. I asked him why that's ALL he does on EVERY forum that he has an account at, but never got a response. Go figure.

Yeah I remember that. It was right around the time that he actually gave me permission to have my store thread because I was working with him, but then for what ever reason he started to see me as a threat to him, and did the same to me even though I was the moderator running his contests which completely died after I left the forum. Ah well it was fun over there while it lasted.

I did stop in on his forum a while back, and he had the post from on here complaining about me linked. I bet he didn't think that I'd be able to turn that around, but I think that the way I handled it definitely worked in my favor, and I'm sure that probably pissed him off even more.

Any way I'll start my thread in the next couple of days next time I have some news to update you guys on. Probably shipping the orders for WE 7-20-13

You know, I think that piece of shit probably "forgot" my order after I sent him an email about it. This is 11 fucking months now, and all I ordered were a couple of small items that were supposedly IN STOCK. That sausage fingered wasted fuck better never heave his sorry fat ass into my neck of the woods.

Sad part is it isn't even about the money I spent, as it was insignificant compared to what I spend other places. It's just the principle of the thing. So c'mon, dickbag*. Ain't no one here gonna cower to your will and pussy out by deleting posts. Stand up for yourself. Jump in and give some herpaderp defense and try and tell me what a fucking asshole I am or whatever, and give me some sorry ass excuses. "My email didn't work, my site went down, my asshole was raw from getting fucked by HT mods." Your excuses are shit, your business is shit. Fuck you.

*-It should be fairly apparent who the sausage fingered dickbag I am referring to is.

Well ain't this a predicament:

C.I.A.D. said:
To all Custom Castors -

It is with great regret that I must inform you that the direct promotion of sale of custom cast pieces is prohibited, effective immediately.

Please note: You will still be able to link back to your store/site/etc through your Signature as you always have been able to. You will not, however, be able to start a thread promoting the sale of your custom cast items. This rule also extends to the completion of monetary exchanges here on hisstank. All sales for cast pieces should be completed outside of the forum. Buyers should not actively seek to purchase custom casts on Hisstank, nor should Sellers actively try to sell. Again, you as a seller will still have the ability to post up a link in your sig to your site.

There are many of you that are going to be negatively impacted by this new rule; both buyer & seller alike. That said, we want to ensure that everyone's experience here is free of the kind of drama that can occur.

This does not impact trading, asking for advice on what parts to cast next, or anything along those lines.

Should you have any questions and/or concerns, please feel free to contact any of the Staff Team.

Thanks!

What a bunch of dicks. Way to trash the one remotely "good" aspect of an otherwise completely worthless site. Unfortunately, it's one of the biggest Joe sites out there, and really lame for those who used it as their main source for Joe discussion. Is it really that big of a hassle to deal with? Christ Almighty.

Customizing was the last vestige of humanity that site had. Killing access to casters makes it just a bunch of kitbash part swaps now. Really, they're only good for "news" due to them sucking directly from Hasbro's cock-teat, and other sites mirror the news almost as fast, if they're not the ones posting the news originally anyways.

Hey guys I have a couple of questions, and I honestly mean no offense to anyone. First why doesn't anyone go through paypal's resolution center, and just get their money back if they don't get their items with in the allotted time? If I remember correctly it's 3 months. Second, if a site is known by you, and others for taking forever to get their items out why would you buy from them.

I mean I know that there are awesome items on some of these sites, but if you know you've got a chance of paying money out, and then not getting what you ordered until the year 2099 then why bother? Why not see if another caster that is more reputable might have the part, just not in store, or might be able to get the part from one of their contributors?

Again this isn't directed at any one customer, or caster in particular. Just always kind of wondered this. Especially after reading these kind of things.

Oh, and my guess as to the problem at HT is that my old "buddy" probably posted in my thread which is probably what got mine pulled.

Disputes have to be opened within 45 days, which that knob-gobbler gets around by saying it could take 6-8 weeks for processing and delivery.

Most of the people in the same boat as me, are simply out the money until he either sees that he's a raging fucknugget and returns the money, or actually delivers the order.

What amuses me is all the people(some genuine users with problems excluded) who rage like madmen over 4 months of delays from one caster, but NO ITS OKAY when it's Alyosha. I wonder how many dicks Aly sucks on a regular basis for so many people to be accepting of his practices. He must be able to suck-start a Harley with all the practice he has at it.

A discussion opened about Broken Arrow and how long it was taking to get stuff, and the Mods deleted all the posts, edited the first one, and locked it.

MOD EDIT

Please be advised that discussion pertaining to Broken Arrow Toys and by extension Alyosha is prohibited here. We are sorry for anyone that is experiencing issues, but those issues are to be resolved directly with the seller on his site and/or by direct communication with him.

Thank you for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience.

Ok so it was him, not something to do w/ my thread. Still sucks though as w/ mine I simply did order status updates, and suggestions. What's worse is I was discussing something w/ a guy on HT at the time in my thread, but I don't remember the member's name.

I am right there with ya bro. I don't understand either. Even when I first started customizing I saw everywhere I looked red flags not to order from him. Never have, never will.
Seems to me ordering from him is like playing the slot machines in Atlantic City NJ, only 1 in a million walks away happy. I don't gamble, never will.

Hehe I think we'd be the best of friends. My dad took me, and my wife to Delaware park a few years ago, and though it was ok while my wife was w/ me, and the money kept going up, but then she went to play on some other machine, and it just started to drop. At least I was playing w/ $25 of their money, but when she was next to me I was up over $300, and then she walked away, and it dropped to $65 almost instantly so I pulled the money out, and I was done. I just let her, and my dad have their fun gambling. I haven't gone back since. She went back w/ my dad one time, but she lost all $100 she took w/ here so I told her not to go back, and waste any more money. She hasn't, and won't. She's a great girl. 19 years together, and honestly we've never really had a really big fight.

Though I wish they'd make gambling machines that were actually skill based. For instance how's about a Mortal Kombat machine where the higher you go up the ladder of opponents you go the more money to get, but every time you have to continue you lose some of your money. Sure they might lose some money here, or there w/ expert old school MKers, but novices would be pouring the money in. They could do the same w/ racing games too.

Wife and I took a cruise out of Tampa to Cozumel Mexico once. On the Sunday we were on the cruise I wanted to see a little bit of football scores so my wife went into the casino and I sat at the bar outside of it and started watching football. About five minutes later she came out with a tin bucket full of quarters, said she hit the jackpot on a quarter machine on her 3rd or 4th quarter. She went back in. I was stoked! I thought, hell yeah, I may get to see a whole game. No way, she was back out about a half hour later with her starting $20 left only. lol. There went football Sunday.


I would own a casino if they ever did Arcade MK2 for Money. lol.

I'm thinking about trying to shrink down my ML Hawkeye trick arrows. I'll be trying out some Hydro shrink in the next couple of weeks.

Shrink 'em and I'll buy a set, possibly 2. My son can't get enough of the arrow that came with Hawkeye from the West Coast Avengers set.

I'm always looking for accessories. Not much of a painter so I shy aways from head sculpts, but I always like to have extras of those tiny accessories for Joe and Star Wars. Sort of like an insurance policy.

Not too surprised at HT banning the castOrs (FN numbnut) the way they treated TJ was so bad, I now just use it for some BST and local sightings , too many other great places to post, discuss, rant, argue, and such than there...
