Well I was hoping that Oascom would make it right. But I’m not sure anymore. The dial he sent me was not upto the quality I was expecting. I returned it (as he promised to make it right). Now it’s been a month since he has responded.

Here are some photos of the dial he sent me originally. I added a red line to show where the dial was originally “cut”

Out of curiosity, how much did he charge for this?

Yeah, that looks like complete shit. Sorry, friend.

The markers and the printing are also not encouraging.

That dial is complete dogshit. What does he think he’s playing at?

But remember, we were the jerks for not continuing to allow him to peddle this :mad: to our members.

NOW everyone agrees his dials are crap? FFS, I've been saying this for well over a year and got shot down every damn time. That dial is no different to what he's been flogging for years, go back and look! They are identical or better quality than dials I can buy from Asia for $400 at full retail and still the starry eyed believers were paying 1400 to 1700 for this crap because they were an OASCOM dial and apparently, an OASCOM dial contains not just 100 million year old space rock but magic faery dust.

Apart from as very small cadre, NO ONE was prepared to say anything bad about his dials until recently lest they get shot down by the fanbois for whom he could do no wrong. Do you guys have any idea how many times I have seen this happen? How many times totally crappy modders have been protected by a posse? A lot of the members on this forum are their own worst enemies, seriously. FML . . .

I hate that this is what it has come to, @Oascom.

A story of great success at the cost of RWI members that got you a very fancy living. How do I know? I was one of your first biggest supporters.

But, success got to your head. You bit more than you could chew.

You need more time to "figure everything out". "It's hard times now."

How are times hard when you are sitting on all of our members money?

It should be very easy to admit that you love the lifestyle RWI members have financed for you, it should be even easier to admit that you can't handle it.

RWI staff is still dealing with a mountain of tickets due to you.

What a way to go down, Pat. What a way.

Get our members the resolution they need. Figure it out.

I think I mentioned that a few weeks ago. This is from one of my vendors...look familiar?

I'll admit that I'm not all the way up to speed and deeply invested like many are here, but I'm still a member. We are a band of sisters and brothers who are supposed to look out for one another, and obviously many have lost sight of that. And for what? To be in the good graces of someone who does crap like this to our membership?

These are but mere words on a screen, but we should all take heed to these words: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." We should be grateful to and for those who work this board tirelessly day in and day out, and to those who are more knowledgeable on matters of quality, for it is they who will protect the membership at large, and the legacy of this board.

But expecting @Oascom to make good also reminds me of this quote...

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Happy Sunday and much love to you all, fellow members.

Once upon a time, in the good old days in the beginning of the board, that's what we used to do. Just show up and say, "Hi (screen name and real name), we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way...the choice is yours."

Shame we can't do that anymore.
