Nothing you said.. and really has nothing to do with you. I do appreciate you reaching out though.
A little background to this project... I had the pleasure of attending my first PCF meet up recently and ran into some old customers (some I've dealt with for decades but never met) and newer PCF members. I had such a good time meeting them face to face, interacting, talking about chips and sharing background stories that I've never told anyone before. It was a blast. So my wheels started turning and I thought, I should get involved more in the forum too. Some may have noticed that I've been very active on PCF. If I see something posted that I like, I comment and / or like. If someone asking a question and I can help I try to respond.
Do I have an ego?.. just as much as the next person but this isn't about me. In fact, I sat down to play poker with some guys at the meet up and someone called me a 'celebrity' and I responded with 'far from it' and made it a point to let them know that I was just as excited to sit in and play with them.. and I truly was. I'm just a guy on the other side of the computer screen selling the chips that you buy. It's just a different perspective. I also know that these forum threads can go sideways and I usually know my place and abstain from making comment or voicing my opinion in anyway... and generally come and go when there is business to be done.
But I have plenty that I can share and thought you all would be interested in seeing some production / factory pics, formula info etc but I wanted to interact a bit... have a little fun. I could have just puked all the pics and info onto the forum in one shot but what fun is that. So I decided to post one pic at a time and we could look, ask questions, like, lurk or whatever and when we reached 50 likes I would post the next on and move on. I didn't think this was too much to ask. I have absolutely no use for likes.. they are worthless.. it was just used as a gauge to see if a fair amount of people have seen the current pic and we ready to move forward. I ignored the silly comments about holding pics for like ransom, demanding likes and even refused payment instead of likes. I just wanted a little participation. If you like... we move forward.. if not I can wait. I've had this info for decades... it is useless to me. Likes are useless to me. I don't need anyone's validation. That fact that people would read the thread, not hit the like button but make a comment that they want to see the next pic was funny at first but last night just annoyed me. It takes much less effort to hit the like button then make a reply. Obviously my idea didn't work out as planned. I'll go back to my place. It's really not a problem for me.
