I can certainly understand how people would be leary of commission threads, but all the ones I'm aware of are sanctioned by Chris. Although of course w/o necessary amount of interest they won't be made.
You know, I've only been involved in the custom world for a few months.... maybe 7 months? I have to go look..... and it's been a real eye opening experience. I've heard horror stories about the poor quality, bad business practices, lousy customer service and bad attitude of certain people who will remain nameless.
This has put a bit of a cloud over this wonderful hobby. When I started I had to convince folks I wasn't their adversary and that I would work until they were satisfied. I imagine all the other honest hardworking folk have had the same kind of experience. A few bad apples make everyone cynical and grumpy.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some kind of coalition of honest operators who care about customer service and quality? They could help each other out and all together could help the folks create the projects they want at excellent prices and the smallest amount of hassle possible. And the customers would know that their investment was safe and well spent. Hmmmmmm......

Well, when folks ask for a refund, and get A) no response and B) no refund then you ARE ripping people off.Let me be clear. I have ripped off NO ONE.
So, by not participating directly you can blame others for not updating YOUR work or lack thereof? Grow a set and come in on a regular basis and update your status. Even coming in and saying you had a rough week at your real job and things didn't get as far as you'd hoped would have eased things. As long as that isn't a weekly excuse most folks would be(or at least would have been) fine with it. be honest and you can't be faulted.Due to the abusive environment created by some here on SSF I won't be participating directly, but rather will have other helpful members post updates for me. And yes, updates are coming. Shortly I will have updates on the last 2 Summer Glau heads, and Maximus armor, for example.
Further proof that beachcitycustoms aka captdan is diver4:

credit goes osw member Ronin Six for the link above
If you look at the link, you can see dan registered the url with his full name as well as his email addy which has diver4 in it.
Still, diver4 is now used as a scapegoat by Howes about the heads or refunds not being sent.
