  2. :lol_hitting:

    This has evolved for two reasons - one so I can get the hell out of my shop and see the country....   

    .....Use me like a handi-wipe (over and over again) with your questions about how to finish your banners.

    Thanks, Terry Sheban - Super Stitches - 888-566-3231

    Your more than welcome here Super Stitches, great intro! :D

  3. Anybody else have or using these? I think their awsome, represents a lot of the old classic sign styles along with modern times. Absolutely love them, using one today for a channel letter design. I'll try to remember to post a pic of the sign when i'm done. It's a nice oval logo box, aluminum face with routed letters and characters using 3/4" puch thru acrylic.

    The fonts are awsome I just wish each font had some more options like bold, extrabold. But I know you can do all that yourself. I highly recommend if you don not already have these. :D

  4. We like to use the watercooler test for content - If the same content could not be shared in mixed company around the water cooler at the office it is probably not appropriate for our public forum.

    With respect to your avatar being offensive we have a specific policy for avatar usage and also request that our membership use their real names and company info in there profiles to prevent folks from hiding behind some kind of online identity and to help each of our members see that there is actually a person behind the text. All online communities function differently and that is how we have chosen to run ours.

    Links and Prints from our private forums, hmmm If that is the case then you will have seen that although others may have disgreed with your posts or were interested in your new startup forum it was all handled by our Admin mod staff as a whole and not by some rouge signguy.

    Again I have searched our logs and have not found an incedent where your photo album was deleted by an admin, we did have some database problems over the last month and have worked to correct them, it is possible that that is when your images disapeared but I can not tell for sure.

    Well I guess it's the attitude at the water cooler where I think it does seem to be an old lady mentality, and that's just my opinion. I know if I were to voice it there, it would be quickly deleted.

    Some links and prints brought me to Signguy007 & Tamiath's posts in your private forum. Who I PM'd regarding my sites and legitimacy. I asked them both if they had any questions for me. No response back, do I need to state what that tells me & how that reflects Signforums.com & who they give permissions to? Am I saying they have had anything to do with this? No.

    Well again, the album was there a week ago because I saw a random image on the bottom of the forum. If you had a database problem a lot more would be missing that just my album, you would most likely have to use your backup or start new.

    Oh and the reason why you don't see admin actions in the ACP is because album edits won't show up there. I even tried to build one so you can delete it to check your ACP to see that it does not show up there. But someone denied me permissions to form one. Hmmmm, could this be the same person?

    Fewer people with power, fewer problems. I just take the the whole as a reflection. I can't hold it against everyone there. The problem ones in your forums are few I know that, but I'm just simply voicing it .

    Now this brings us back to the water cooler.

    If we were to have a conversation at the water cooler within a large company with the many, and some were telling jokes & I told mine and was singled out by a manager to being inappropriate because his wife didn't like the joke. I might frown on that action, especially if he's the only one. Then to find a secret memo written about me with some false statements being passed from MGMT to MGMT. Then to questions those in the staff and offer to explain any mix up with an explanation and get no response. Come back to my office and the pictures on the wall in my office and personal belongings in my desk drawers were gone. I would go straight down to management and raise a stink, but they just shrugged their shoulders and said they don't know anything about it. Even though their the only ones with extra keys to my office beside me.

    Do you keep working there? No. I would go somewhere else to work, somewhere where they don't allow that to happen. It only takes one or two managers to reflect a company of thousands

    I'm done with this thread. It's not to reflect the signforums.com as a bad place to be, it's just to point out some problems with it and how it gets handled and how it affected me. Maybe they can take it as constructive critisism. If these were memebers I had problems with I could care less and this would not have been a topic over here.

    Kimon I think your a great guy with a great attitude. I just don't think the left hand knows what the right is doing....sometimes. Unfortunatly it just hit this person to many times, & I'm just posting an opinion with some facts to it.

  5. Man.....I haven't done repair in a longtime. I thought it was going to be a simple transformer change, ended up having to replace all the GTO secondary runs. To top it off the crawl space was like 3'x 3' and hot as hell. Shower felt good

    Well I'm not suprised at all, maybe they didn't like what they found out.

  6. I don't do many banners I usually give them away free when I sell an electric wall sign. But I just realized I buy a 10oz hemmed and grommeted for around $20-25, and for 3 more colors. Wow!!! no kidding. I think I'm willing to drop 50 bones to that guy just to see they look like.

    Truely the "guest" just may have found the new sign bitch to drop orders on. This may work out better in more ways then one. But I think i'd rather pay COD, cuzz I know if this guy will fold soon. Well the other danger to this is do we know if this banner ho is really in the US. What if it truely is a "sweat shop" somewhere in Mexico or China? Where peeps are getting paid $1 a week.

    :blink:

  7. This is true and unfortunate. But I've seen this happen time and time again. They don't last for to long before they find themselves in a bind. This is a very common trend that comes and goes like the wind. Wish I had a dollar for everytime I see these dummies go out of business. They don't understand that the sign industry is a "specialty" first.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

    :gay:

  10. 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 :blink:

    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 :P

    lol @ #1 LA team..no kidding, I have a feeling the finals won't have any west coast teams :blink: Is that a new avatar Marek? I'm just now noticing it
