pppfffttt, whatever you lose give to me. Beeaaaccch!!

Kimon, I've never had a problem with you. Your site does contain good insight into the industry. But I think some people you give special permissions should probably be closer looked at. The last topic I can remember being deleted was by an older gentlemen with admins regarding a very mild humored joke in your Humor forum. I think it had something to do with looking at the screen and a ghost pops up and scares you, something of that nature (don't hold me to it). He complained because his wife looked at it and made a comment to him. He posts something about it not belonging in the forum and then shortly after, deletes it. I call that "old lady syndrome" I'm pretty familiar with invisionboard I run a couple for online gaming, so in my backpanel I get links and prints from your pvt forums and people saying "look at this" etc, and other conversations about me, my sites etc. No biggy. But I PM'd the two on your site who were raising questions about me and accusing me of name stealing and having a phony business. I told them specifically "If you or anyone in your forum has any questions about me or my sites, please feel free to ask. It's not a big thing" I got no response from them, not even an acknowledgement. There are other posts and such that did take place with me or others that just sort of built. Maybe it's just random coincidental untimelyness, but after the erasing of the album, with all and other events involved. It sent me a message of "not welcome". But like I said, maybe you need to look close into who you give special permissions to, especially if you don't know what's going on as "Co-Founder". To me SignForums.com seems to have way to many with admin privileges imo, that's just my experiences with other forums mainly online gaming, for I have to deal with the imature. As for the album, I don't have permissions to edit or arrange, and no permissions as when I first checked yesterday and noticed they were gone. So somebody erased it, maybe you have a angry rogue sign maker with to much time on their hands. But in all seriousness. If you want to boot me out, that's up to you. A big difference from this board and many others is "I" allow "true open" forums & discussions, for guests and members. But should something go down with accusations they better be able to back them up, no mud slinging here. If it get to names and no substance it gets deleted. If anyone else form SF has anything to add, feel free. That is what forums are for. P.S. My avatar when I first signed up to your forums was found to be too offensive & I was asked to delete it. I'm just trying to get some sense slapped into me.

Okay I take some of it back, it's the moderators & admins of signforums.com, a lot of the members are very cool over there.

Man what's with these forums run by old people and their old lady syndrome. I just happened to go on to their forums and they took off my photo album, ???? It's only mine too & the forums highest rated pics also most viewed. Not only that but as I check the back panel of my forums and website I find out that they have been having their little secret meetings behind their private forums and talking about this site, my work website and personal site. Not that I mind, but their also conversing back and forth about the legitmacy of me, my business, this site and so on. I also notice they have a fetish to look at some some mild adult content on my private site. They watch it over and over. Maybe I should burn the video's and pics and send them each one, I'm sure their wives would love that. Good going signforums.com! I guess maybe I'm to California for them.

lol, I just did too. But starting off at home before I go back. Summers coming up :D I also dont' wanna look like to much crap when we go to Rosarito Next month

Yeah, Jet, just type in google.com and the type in what ever your looking for. Anything & everything should pop up on what your looking for. One of the best search engines in the world

Sorry guys I went to lay down in bed with Kirst for just a bit, she was going to bed early and next thing I know I'm awaken by an earthquake at 4am, I thought a damn truck hit the house Maybe If I get a chance I'll be on tonight. Marek I normally wouldn't have cared to much in regard to their comments but I've read stuff they've posted in the past with no one defending themselves, also it was Sunday with not much going on and I had to find some sort of way of cheap entertainment. I'm sure it was the same for them too, maybe everyone got a cheap thrill lol @ #1 LA team..no kidding, I have a feeling the finals won't have any west coast teams Is that a new avatar Marek? I'm just now noticing it

rotflmao, dats ma girl! I LOVE YOU! Max, fo sho fo sho. Hopefully the Seattle server will be populated I'm tired of that lagging gamebox server. Get on voice. Hmmmm the water in the spa is still hot, decisons decisions

It's pretty slow over there Marek, I didn't get accepted till weeks after I finally got my admit in. SG, yes very lame. But my wife looked at it too for shits and giggles because sometimes I have to question myself if I may have originally asked the question wrong, and she said maybe a little but not in the sense to get the feedback I did. I mean I was gettign positive feedback from a few then all of a sudden there was miscommunication with one female sign maker in a reference I made about a quote from a movie with nothing to do with her husband who just posted his thoughts in regard to my post. Then it snowballed form there, some other sign chick said I was arrogant, lol... in the way I was coming into the forum being new and all with my humor not being funny to her and blah blah blah, you've read it you get the picture. So I didn't like the way she was trying to portay my persona to everyone else twisting what I was posting (quoting part of my post to make it seem in a fashion other than what I was laying down). Damn my head hurts right now, damn 1shot paint..... Oh yeah then her lil buddies come in and just blow it all out of proportion. I even got a PM or it was forwarded to me about the second sign chick going around contacting peeps about my post and one even had her calling me a newbie schmuck or something, they have a very wierd notiifcation in that forum, it just flashes in front of my screen for a brief second the goes away. Maybe it's because I'm on a mac or not a paid member. So I dunno, I just think it's funny & I actually just wanted it to go on, I found it entertaining. I mean to argue back with facts and substance and all they could do was tell me I'm being rude, crude, a dik, asshole, lizzard under the rock, disrespectful...etc...etc. & I never once called anyone a direct name, I just argued my case. You lose a debate or arguement once you start yelling or calling names because you have nothing to support or reinforce your case, so peeps panic and start flamming. I've alredy had a run in with one of them off the bat in one of my first posts in the beginning, anyway so that was amusing. I seemed to me that Steve the admin was either pist with me too or pist at the fact that he may have gotten called into it, he just seemed to want to resolve it and move on...i'm sure it wasted his time. With all those members and it seems to be just him as admin, lot's of people to keep in check. But man some of those members in other threads are just out right assholes. I would have banned some of them for a few weeks. I gotta go get in the shower, finish my thought later....maybe

I have no excuse not to take a hour and a half trip up north I'm there, heh & Hollywood isn't that far for partying afterward

Is there still one in Long Beach, if so I'm there.

I'd like to know too, I didn't get a chance to go. Was it worth going to?

Actually that Pic did not do any justice, there were probably about 25 people or so who attended. It went on from 8:30 am till 5:30Pm. Ilan had Boxes of donuts and Lots of coffee waiting for everyone when we first got there. My wife had just missed Paris Hilton getting her nails done by 5 minutes. As for an agenda it was pretty much an exchange of ideas for the CNC Router table. Hold down methods, substrates choices, software and business aspects. I was just REAL lucky I didn't have to travel very far for this one. I planned on going cross country to the huge annual company camp on the east coast. Here's a pic of the wife with her nails done laughing at me in one of the bars we were at. You can even see the back of her head form the first pic with her head hair pulled back. She told me never to invite her again to one of these, she was bored off her ass. But she sat through it. Next time I'll send her shopping or something... as long as she doesn't spend :D MY Money

My wife and I made our way our to Venice from San Diego on Friday afternoon a day before the camp in Venice Beach. Due to spring break all we could get was Econolodge two and a half miles away. My wife loves to go shopping o­n the boardwalk but since traffic was terrible we did not arrive in Venice until almost 5:30pm, 4 hours in traffic. We must have napped for 20 minutes and quickly rose for some beach store activity, in other words she wanted to get her nails done. She went in to get her thing done and I waited across the street at Finn's Irish Pub. A new pub o­nly been around since the 02', the menu tells the story of a local girl who ships her father's remaining decor and antiquities from his pub in Ireland to start anew in Venice Ca. Great food and drinks, my wife joined me an hour and a half later for a few more where we then went off to a hole in the wall bar o­n Washington Blvd next to the beach. A late dinner in a Mexican Food restaurant, then back off to the hotel for a early rise the next morning. The camp was held at Ilan's Design Studio where Ilan manufactures furniture among other things. Bill Palumbo was the speaker for shopbot, a very entertaining speaker. Ilan had the very nice 5'x10 or 12' shopbot bulked up o­n double C Channel railing supports, it looked solid and with dual spindle and router head. A very broad spectrum of shopbotters attended, everyone from sign, furniture, cabinet makers to arts and crafts makers along with surfboard & play backdrop makers. I still don't understand how he holds that surfboard down. Everything said and done I learned a lot, it made me feel real small to the use's I've been using it for. But, that's a positive way to look at it, the possibilities are endless where o­nly imagination can know no bounds. What caught my eye most of all was the 3D production that can be made. Thank you Ilan for holding the camp at your amazing shop and Bill for speaking to us, it was fascinating and enlightening.

You got me, I'm a little confused. Is it a thread regarding Best Sign & Apple Bees in another forum? If so, paste it in here.

Cool pics lance, thanks for sharing. I'm usually a night owl myself :D But i'm up usually playing online games, then I wake up the next mornign tired like a dork You create a album in the gallery section and throw in some more pics of your family.

Looks like so much fun wish I lived closer :D But I have enough of the things that go thump in he night over here, I don't need to bring anymore little friends back over here I deal with enough in the night. Ever any meets on the west coast?

Well if your just starting off no matter what, your going to have to start out doing outside sales. Visiting newly coming business where ever you see contruction, passing your cards to business's who may look like they have a need. Reading newspapers on local events and newly signed leases. Dropping by property managements, construction offices. Some people even market themselves through data bases that get new city business licenses registeries and send them post cards for advertisements. The list goes on. Maybe that might help a little

:bitchin: Oh I hate that about that machine. I use to have to move my pinch roller back and forth 1/16" of an inch at a time till it stopped saying that error message. Damn pain in the ass, that's why I use my roland as a footrest under my desk :swear:

What helped me out one time when my plotter did some strange stuff was delete my preference files. But it's strange how it just takes that path and just darts out of sync and then goes back in like in your pic.
