No dog in the fight..... wishing bas a speedy recovery and believe he will make things right when he is able to physically, but I understand the anger of those who havent been paid yet. Their situation might have changed over the course of the contest and now they are counting on their winnings for needs or wants. I always try to pay out within 1-2 days of the season ending, and that should be a goal for most who run contests

Ironic, since BAS felt GB was more important than this.

Yeah you're making a naive assumption that he cares more about GB than paying people. That's the problem with your posts. You don't know what he cares about more. No, that first post in this thread doesn't "prove" that he cares about GB more than paying people.

Take a step back and have an open mind before rushing to conclusions. A lot of unknowns here. No reason to believe BAS wouldn't do the right thing.

You can spin it however you want , whether BAS cares about or whatever .. But , it couldn't possibly excape BAS mind that posters are owed 35K from a contest he's running and it wasn't addressed. that's the obvious point here

No actually you did not address my point. When he was well enough to do his job on this site again, his first priority should have been to either start sending payments or at minimum started a thread here to tell posters about his situation and that their money will be shipped ASAP. But instead he chose to start this thread and deal with something far less important and because of it created this situation. You havent(and I realize you can’t, only BAS can) explained why the Greenbacks situation was more important than owing $35,000 to posters who put up money up front.


Maybe it was easy to get on the CPU for BAS to address the Greenbacks situation but very hard for BAS to physically do something regarding the funds? Not trying to make excuses for BAS but i could see something like that happening.

Missing the point .. He didn't address it..Nobody is saying BAS should have paid on the spot once he reappeared.. He didn't address it at all is the point..

Exactly, I mentioned in a previous post it’s not about him actually sending money. It’s about him not communicating anything about it. $35,000 of other people’s money should have been his first thought about this site, not what was posted in post #1. If he had, I doubt anyone would be questioning whether they are getting paid or not.

Yes he did, but I really don't give a damn what he thinks about some of us wanting to be paid now and willing to accept a discounted amount.

The guys who hopped in here vouching for BAS like he's the forums own US Mint, shdw01 and MattyMatt, now are coming with excuses to explain their cold feet and change of heart. It's ok to change your mind, but at least admit the actual reasons why. Your cold feet involve the same thoughts we who are owed money are having.

I didn’t make excuses, you’re just flying off the deep end is more like it. Why the hell would anyone wanna do business with you with the attitude you possess? Your problem lies with BAS and this site, not me or shdw, but believe what you want, I still think you get paid, when, idk, and I hope that you do...

Why do you think it's escaped his mind? Also, why the fuck would he make that his first thought when he is going through what he's going through?

You put yourself in a similar position , You're telling me you wouldn't get back to posters you knew that have been waiting along time to get paid ? if the answer is no , I hope you won't be running any contests in the future

The issue has been beaten into the ground but I'm not sure why people are debating with Red Eye, Wabash, GoBlue and others in the thread that have said the situation was handled poorly. Why can't that just be what it is?

No one cares what GB had to say and no one took his claims seriously. To write 500 words on that issue rather than address posters being owed 34k was a mistake.

An innocent mistake perhaps, but a mistake. Now lets hope BAS gets healthy and everyone gets paid.

Dude just stfu about all of this. You hopped in here, trying to score some points for holding the fort down until bas returns and things return to normal while making some money on what you initially thought was a sure thing shortly down the road. After you had an accepted offer from me and another poster, you changed your mind.

I still think you get paid...

Couldn’t care less what you think. I wouldn’t do business with you now for $1k, has nothing to do with cold feet or whatever the fuck you wanna call it, it is simply you, your attitude sucks, you suck...

All in all, I still hope you get paid, and you will. Carry on...

BAS is an icon here , and deservedly earned.. I'm hoping for the best reults for him and everyone involved.. My biggest take from here going forward is having contest reform.. Because I've been in enough of them over the years and sometimes you just need to improve on things

Well I'll say I have more faith in BAS eventually getting well and paying us than hotshot does. ^<<^

Contest reform? The words and the responses in this thread almost guarantees they'll no longer be any contests.

I'm disappointed in many, wish I could say I'm shocked, but I can't. Everyone is a victim nowadays
