quote from my other thread regarding Darkknight:

I did get a phone call from John today. He said that he is just really trying to get his personal sh!t sorted out and apologized profusely for the tardiness / lack of communication. He has apparently almost finished my parts (one coat of paint left for the upper trim piece), so hopefully they will ship out soon. At least it is an indication that he is still working on his business.... I would think it would almost be theraputic at this point. I think that my parts come out ahead of Group Buy orders because of the size of the jobs. I did not speak with him directly, as he called when I was in a business meeting and left a message. I will try calling him later tonight to touch base. I can assure everyone that he has not "run off" with the money.
Just FYI for everyone.

John

Just FYI: that's great, and from John's tenure I *assume* no one is going to get screwed (other than out of their time), but still not acceptable. Again, more than a year ago before his divorce that "took him by surprise", his ability to accept orders exceeded his ability to communicate with his customers. Not saying he's not a nice guy or anything, but y'know.

Hi guys.

Sorry for my hugh absence... there is no question that you guys have a right to be pissed off at me. I would be too.

To the clients that are waiting for product, I know I said they would ship out like 4 weeks ago and I have no one to blame but myself. I've just been going though a really hard time as of late.

I would never cheat any of you out of money in any way shape or form. Its not me.

I have the product done and here with the exception of John custom work. Which will be done this weekend baring any problems.

Just so everyone has my number its 508-450-1555 so you guys can at least get a hold of me. If you don't get me please lease a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Again I'm truly sorry... The reason why my life has been soooo jacked up is my wife cheated on me and I'm now getting divorced... worse time in my whole life.
The guys on here that know me well, either from just on the board, via phone or personally know I would never steal anyones money. I would just never do it.

I will have UPS shipping tracking number for everyone by Monday night or sooner.
Again I'm truly sorry for the lack of communication... the situation just came completely out of nowhere, I had no clue she was cheating on me and it hit me really hard.

-Sorry for the let down guys

Why would your prank call him? To be an ass?

I'm not making an excuse or anything for his slowness, etc, lately, but wth will prank calling him do, besides piss him off more when he's already down?

Sometimes when you are down, a good kick is what you need. But I am thinking that John has had enough kicking the past few months with personal life, etc..

Lets give him a little space to get back on track and caught up. I am confident he will make it all right for anyone that has been effected by his circumstances.

John - sorry to hear about your situation, best wishes in getting it all sorted. If you need any help with anything let me know.

^ Amen. I just wanted an update.... and I got that this afternoon, so it could take another two weeks, and I would not care. And now I have John's phone number in case I want any more custom work done (looking into a new box later this summer).

John, just do what you need to do. I hope all goes well for you.... only one direction to go from here - up. I just hope the process is civil and quick. Nothing worse than dragged out drama.

Peace.

John
