Yes exactly. Whatever you do, don't go read the posts and thread itself to form your own opinion.

I guess to be serious for a second, the fact is people were positive, excited, and do want to see and hear the knowledge, but for whatever reason OP has and is going full WW. There was nothing unreasonable besides people having a bit of fun or wanting to see more, like always. I'm sure people will still react favorably to further background, but no need to start worshiping anyone or treat them like a martyr. I'll leave it all at that, as again, it's not that serious despite that it would be very cool to learn more.

He should create a super secret club where you can view the photos by subscription membership only. Oh wait.

since i was apparently too subtle - i used the term "collectively" to encompass both the OP and the commenters.

I like the Royal Blue and Showboat Grey trash cans... Did you make them out of chip shavings?

Looks like horizon blue and grey to me. Can someone compare those to Paulson samples?

I was turned off by feeling like I was being held hostage for likes.

I also accept @TheChipVault's explanation that he was just trying to to make sure there was interest in the process.

It's water under the bridge now...

That was a mild turnoff. Worse was the pouting afterwards. The mental acrobatics in his justification post, however, turned it into comedy.

Did you seriously just take the time to respond to WedgeRocks post, but didn’t like it? It’s worth a reply but not an updoot!?

What a dick.

Meh, if extremely sparse pics are hidden behind a demand for likes and followed up by a hissy-fit set off by basically nothing I'm not going to sit here and beg for more like a wittle puppy. I remember someone else taking their ball and going home from some extremely limited and tame push-back as well. Survived that too. Chips aren't that huge of a deal; this should all be fun. Let's not take ourselves too seriously.

Felt like being slowrolled without seeing the nuts
 
I’m disappointed. There’s a handful of people alive with this info, and one decided to share it. Who cares if he needs a little encouragement?

Edit: fluffing encouragement. It was a poor choice of words.

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.

Best Regards - Jim

This is similar to writing thoughtful trip reports. The first one gets a "like", the next one gets less, then it's just...

It's not about validation, It's about wanting to know that what you are doing is of genuine interest. When it gets derailed into gifs and memes, you start to wonder if what you are doing is of any actual interest.

Did you just mention me with using the '@' so I didn't get a mention? ...or an updoot?
