Actually, the most important thing that Ratledge wants to get through is that kickstarter shouldn't let campaign creators start a new campaign until their previous one is fulfilled. Which makes a lot of sense.

It only makes sense in the playing card market, which is a tiny fraction of KS's userbase. There is also no way of tracking whether or not something is fulfilled, except maybe comments, but KS isn't going to invest manpower to track individual comments for projects.

Now the bigger question is why KS has no internal method for marking as shipped, providing tracking numbers if applicable, providing refunds and working directly with people who pledge, instead of using silly workarounds like PayPal.

And example of why waiting until a pledge is fulfilled clause would be stupid is something like a movie or videogame project. A pledge along the lines of "you will be at the premier/launch party" may be years away, while all the other rewards could be months away. I'm really not sure why KS would fuck themselves and their project creators over financially with weird clauses.

Especially when programming proper customer-creator functions would take all of a couple days and a couple programmers.

Haha, I'm not sure where some folks get the idea of censorship around here. It's pretty big over at UC but almost nonexistant here.

None of the old Vortex posts were deleted, they were archived, including the hundreds that were positive, because the forums no longer had anything to do with that deck. Differentiating between the two allowed for a larger community to join, and for more designers to promote their products here without feeling like there is a bias towards my work (and by the way, on UC, you can't even promote your work at all).

I think it's pretty self-evident that the board has nothing to do with my project, and any accountability I have is the same as any other KS project has. If you have a problem with that, you can contact me or KS to vent.

Furthermore, this board pushed tons of projects forward, and many of the companies/decks that were released on KS wouldn't even be here if it weren't for this site and the (literally) hundreds/thousands of hours of work I put into it.

Whenever someone at UC complained about this forum, it was because of the Vortex deck.

That is completely and totally false. Maybe the initial vendetta some folks over there had were a result of their problems with me, but you can easily find dozens of posts harassing other staff members here, as well as the regular members for being more "childish."

There is a reason we are more active than UC, and that's despite my late shipping with my deck.

That's all I have on the subject.

Lol Mike is now trying to figure out who owns this site, and is demanding that I be banned from my own forum.

I'll be right on that, Mikaroo

How is there confusion to the owner anyway? Not a secret lol.

Cause Don's rank is "Board Owner" while mine is "Forum Founder." This apparently means I should ban myself. I'd do that, but unfortunately banning the admin account bans every member. Woe.

They weren't a commonly used feature so I took them out to decrease clutter. If more people want them back I'll add them back.

You can accomplish the same thing by using the spacebar to go down, or page up to go up.

Tell us how you found us!

Everyone that gives us information on how you got to this site will get +1 reputation (handed out within 24-48 hours).

Some changes are on the way, changes none of you expect. The "Administrator" rank has been rehauled to indicate who is running the ship. My rank is just for prestige, any back end stuff that needs to be done, some moderation, and mostly just that sexy gold text.

Don's role is the same, but I don't think you assholes ever congratulated him for becoming an admin in the first place.

Assholes.

Mother of god.

Wait, what?

Welcome to the forums lol

sure thing!

I like you! You get +1 rep for being friends with my teddie! 

Haha should i feel bad that im a mod there but posting on both sites ?

Well you might get banned for posting here.

We're like a girl in a cocktail dress. You want her even more when she flashes her leg, but you know that if you just take her and try to carry her out you will be kicked out of the establishment. 

My dad's name is Gary so I guess that makes us lovers, or something.

Oh, I also have very weird welcomes.

HELLO SIR

The general rule of thumb is that if you can find a YouTube tutorial explaining the trick in detail, that has been up for at least several months, it's fair game.

Example: You can find thousands of tutorials on how to properly do a pass. Feel free to discuss that in detail. You cannot find any (real) tutorials on how to do Fraud. That's because Fraud is copyrighted, and so discussing technique/method is not fair game.

Naturally feel free to review tricks and discuss your routines to your heart's content!

500?  More like 5000.  Minimum of 2,500 for Bicycle stock and 5,000 for Bee stock.  Now the USPCC will print less.  After going around and around with them they said they would print 716 decks of my uncut sheet #2 but it would cost me $200 more then just printing 2,500 decks.  When they sell the 500, I think this might be the case of "Oh look we found 100 more in a old warehouse".  6 months later "Oh lookey here we found 100 more under my bed"   I smell a rat...

Why do all of your posts read like they make sense, when they actually make no sense at all. God damnit.
