Shoegaze revival lol

Yall think so? i usually find records cheaper then cost at waterloo..or at cost..

Just bought 2 more. Let's see if it's as good as the first haul.

Sorry?I feel like I made out quite decently from my first buy of 3.
Which was before I read this thread.
Got great stuff, to me anyway.
So decided to try again.

Ross has had some serious issues from the beginning that have only been compounded by the recent influx of information that this thread has provided. Here's a list of more-than-questionable business decisions/screw-ups that have occurred:
 
- First release - a picture disc that he tried to justify by saying it was the only way to make a 'gold' record
 + Awful shipping job on these - often resulting in damaged records
- Starting Line - poorly packaged, almost all seam splits.
- RXBandits - No band approval. No remorse. (You will find this to be a recurring theme)
- Early November - Blown up CD artwork. Huge barcode on back because of this. (I know this is technically Patrick's doing, but Ross is the label owner)
 + Hidden /50 variant that he told people not to reveal because the label didn't even know about it.
- Fall of Troy - typo on track listing.
- Cartel - He purposely made this a 'surprise' release as he didn't have the band approval and knew there would be issues. However, ETR sold out before the band could get word out.
- NK - Basement Tapes - Have you seen the 'packaging' for this? He reasoned it was because it was a 'demo' release and purposefully minimal packaging.
- Dream Theater - He claimed it was CD-sourced because no digital files exist anymore. Music on Vinyl used HQ digital files from the label for their release of this.
- Cute Is What We Aim For - Wrong center labels.
- Kevin Devine Live - Misspelling on spine. Pixellated interior images. Wrong center labels. Wrong track lengths.
- Doug 7" - Re-recorded covers of the 'original' songs by he and his friends. Makes it completely ambiguous in all postings. Thanks himself on the back of the record.
- Lightning bolt shirt - Supposed to be bolt from Skeeter's shirt. Looks nothing like it.
 
Extra-curricular activities - 
- Charges >$5 for shipping media mail - and claimed it was because pricing had gone up.
- Sells grab bag - often putting in records that would be cheaper if you bought normally on this site.
- Uses eBay to flip his own releases
- Gives extra variants to his business partner to flip for even more on his own eBay account
- Said business partner (and owner of Paper Books) comes in to lie and cover-up for Ross
- Said business partner (and best friend and 'musician' on Doug 7") tells board member "I will be sure to give you a rag to wipe off my cum after you are under my desk choking on my dick," among other things.
- More lies from ETR
 
It's known I've never been a fan of Ross, but coming in and apologizing just doesn't fly for me (even though he hasn't even done this). He constantly makes excuses, has poor business tactics, is known to lie over and over to cover himself, and has shown almost zero regard for the bands he works with. 

I'm pretty butthurt over the fact that When Paula Sparks and California are on different sides. There goes that smooth transition...

Up yall! got a coke bottle.

Dat price.

Damn i see a lot of people getting their twin cds in. Idk if i'm more excited for that or the vinyl. 

You cartel handle the truth.

For real. This album is so fucking good. 

We need to change the title of this thread before more hearts have a "Nervous Breakdown."

This guy is really butthurt. Guess he really wanted one for his wall...

So what you're saying is that a community can be judged by its actions as a whole.
 
So if I were a member of the NintendoAge forum and I thought, 'well he sold them to VC users and then he had to stop making them due to legal issues," that would be correct?

I don't know what's better, the fact that the pic from the reddit post is in this thread, complaining about posting pics when there are several threads on this forum for that, or complaining about "fake internet points" when you guys have the exact same thing (bottom right ya'll).
 
Everyone here who has a copy does so because someone linked them to the guy doing this on a lesser known forum. Now some people are pissed because someone did the exact same thing but on a much bigger forum.
 
ITT: Lots of hypocricy

Step 1: Make username "terrostics"
Step 2: Make Ebola joke
Step 3: Seek acceptance

The main things people get mad about are:
People not using the search function, then starting duplicate threads.
People asking stupid questions or questions about very specific issues. ::cough::
People who put things in the wrong section of the forum.
And people just being straight up dicks from the get-go.
You'll be fine, take a little hazing in stride and grow a thick skin for your first month or so and you'll get how things work.
