Guys..... what can I say here.... I ain't been on in a good while, not cause I have fallen out with you fellers, I have had a bit of a rough ride over the last three years within the costume world, so much so, I have put my Maul stuff away for the day the 501st finally decides to stop punishing me, and I can come back and work again. I ain't been lazy, I have returned back to my drumming roots, and have just built this-
http://www.pearldrummersforum.com/showt ... p?t=206912Immersing myself into something else has been productive for me, I have a new band, and will soon be on UK tv seen playing this kit.
I am humbled you chaps want to send me a vader lid, they are expensive to acquire, and not something you can really grab off the peg (besides the MR one, but we all know the OT vader looks the best)
I rang alex with an ultimatum, and he called back three days later saying he would finish it or give it back. I said I would like it finished as agreed, and gave him a september cut off point. I have heard this before, so I will not hold my breath, guys. A year kinda takes the faith outta you. I have just been removed from the 501st sith lords forum, too, with no warning, or confirmation email, either. I was selling my last pair of Titans, and was asked to remove them. I did, and asked why it was requested. My request was met with "Just do as you are told"
You guys know that kind of answer is not acceptable, so I asked again, and also asked why other people were still free to post ads.
The Xo replied with " I am not listening to this anymore, etc"
I logged on a day later, and I am gone.
I have had friends contact the staff to ask what is going on, so far no answer. I have contacted Maia on here, as she has always been intelligent and articulate in her correspondence with me, still no reply.
I have devoted way too much energy to the 501st, now it can take it's knife out of my side and back off, because I am no longer willing to atone for the bad days of 2005, If Darth carcinus has a problem with me, he should just be upfront and honest, not abusing his power deleting accounts with a trigger happy attitude. It smacks of unprofessionalism. Is it any wonder I have literally walked away from star wars? Postage is no problem guys, just let me know what I have to do.
Thank you all, you are great, creative pals!
