I don't what he is doing anymore, but I doubt it. . .I know he was comparing all the models and manufactures.. That place is a mess, glad I bought stock, might as well use it to light my cigar.

In a way Rich, he is.  He is pissing people off and making people want to buy from you and other equipment manufactures.  Him and Barney may be your best salesmen.

I think so.  Listen, the guy sold like 12 machines in a year.  I bet there are days M&R sells that in a day or so.

It's obvious to me that they just want a chip in the big game, and that would be scavenging a few google searches in hopes that some poor soul will sucker up and talk to them.

On the other hand I could be totally wrong   ::)

No, they look at it like this:

What are you all doing now?  Talking about them and their brand.  That is a good thing, regardless of the context.

The whole any publicity is good publicity thing. 

Its ignorant.

That argument might work for celebrities, but when you're talking about an expensive investment for a business, promoted by the antics of a loose cannon spread all over multiple forums that are monitored by many in the business, coupled with specious claims prompting questions that are never answered, I'm not so sure.

What Preston is doing is copying classifieds right off of Digitsmith and posting them on his site. Seems a bit desperate to me but according to him the site is doing just great with their 4 or 5 posters and this place is just a joke.

I noticed that about his copying of the DS posts.   ::)

Ditto ........looks like he's trying to stir up activity by cut and pasting DS. He's learning quickly from his new mentor.

There have been several "desperate" moves lately, especially strange for a site that is supposedly doing better than ever.

I've tried to hang on, maybe give it hope over there. Only to be let down. nobody cares, let him spew his garbage all over the place, ruin every decent thread,  mock everyone, turn everything into a joke. I have never seen a group of grown ass men act like such little children in my life. That's coming from me -pissy as I can get, I'm still not half as bad as that joke of a crew over there. It's sad that the very reason that place became so popular is also the reason for it's demise. . .onward and upward.

so who hates Mondays!? I know I do!

I don't think this is all that dramatic, just talking about another forum who is thriving on drama right now.  There is a huge difference in watching a car wreck and actually being in one.  I'm not really saying spof is a car wreck, it was the best analogy I could come up with on the fly.  It's bordering on a wreck of sorts, and last week it was a town of tumbleweeds.  Post count has risen drastically over there, but the content is only drama.  At least around here there is still talk about screen printing and technique, with a little discussion about the ongoing soap opera next door.  Have any of you ever heard the neighbor husband and wife screaming at one another?  Kind of reminds me of that.

You may remember when he was working the Hirsch site, and the majority of threads were copies of other forum posts debated by two or three  of his own personas. (if he was doing it alone, was he masterdebating?)

Post by: JBLUE on July 25, 2011, 07:52:40 PM
Yeah he wants to comment so bad over here. Hi Bob if your reading this. Can you repost this over at SPOF and respond?.....lol Frog can we get one of those middle finger things here?

Actually, I understand your feelings and salute your spirit, but we don't even want veer in that direction let alone to go that route. And yes, it takes willpower for me as well.
As stated at the beginning in our policy, we aren't here to bash and ridicule merely for the sake of bashing and ridiculing.  That's a potential maelstrom only marginally better than the scene we are trying to divorce ourselves from.

So, in the end, for this thread it was asked if P would be selling M&R presses, and from the horse's mouth, we got a resounding hell no!

Any new business?

Yea, I coated up a 83/100 screen this afternoon 1/7 coats and got over a 400 micron stencil...yea I know it's not that important but you asked  ;D

Good enough for a new thread in Screen Making that took off.
Join us there folks!
