Shameful Dread

You are not, as you suggest, "staying in the grey". The fact is, you have an easy time complaining about "the community" when, in fact, the community is made up of hundreds of individuals. Of course, some of those people are going to be annoying or not have much to contribute. But a lot of us do have something to contribute. For years, this guy has gotten away with pulling shit with this community. I (and many others who have confided in me) just don't think he deserves to slide. If this community can't talk about that without being told to "let it go", then it's a shitty community. Plain and simple. 
 
By complaining about the imperfect community you are "moderating", you are effectively defending Ross's actions. You can deny that until the end of the world, but make no mistake, you are helping his mission. 
 
As far as our "end game"... I don't think that's the point. A lot of folks feel burned by Ross. They're going to do what they want to do to feel better. If that means tweeting at him or commenting on his facebook or writing an article in the newspaper, then that's their decision. This board doesn't need to feel responsible. If people want to let other folks know about his shitty business practices and his lawyer buddy, then that's their choice. Some people want to see him go out of business. I think he deserves nothing less. That's not my goal though. My goal is to inform otherwise uninformed people where their money is going so they can make their own decisions. 

It's been a while since I posted in this thread, but I just want to remind everyone why Ross doesn't need any defense. He already had his lawyer, "molder" doing his dirty work. he claimed to be the owner of ross's ebay account, claim to have no job (and really need the money!), and this gem:
 
 
Why are we defending these assholes, Rambo?
 
Do you really believe random people who have no connection to this at all are finding this thread in the depths of the internet and taking people's sentences out of context to harass Ross's instagram? That is more insane than Ross's posts in this thread.
 
I honestly can't tell if you're trying to play devil's advocate and defend who you (presumably) see as an underdog in order to keep the boards neutral. You should probably note that there have been uncountable numbers of people who have blindly defended Ross over the years. Many of them admitting in this thread they wish they hadn't. Yet, there are still a few that have come to his aid, usually embarrassingly trying to change the subject. Regardless, the dude has lawyer(s) willing to lie for him. He doesn't need you.

I think I bought these about a year ago for like 2 or 3 bucks.. these so don't need to be reissued.

oh yeah?

doesnt seem banned to me....

IIOI/SAOTW/TTT/Pet Symmetry/Any Evan Weiss project collection
I'm still waiting on Fuck Off All Nerds all of the Life Is Suffering variants. If you have something you don't see and you are trying to get rid of, let me know!

who cares about von.. really.

Same, dropped out of highschool to go to college (yeah, figure that one out )

I never graduated.

Think this board accounted for 1/2 of these greens.

Once I fax my order form will you call me back or send counter offer to my fax machine?

Gold jacket, green jacket, who gives a shit?

No no u no understand no, such promo, very value, much mint! Wow!

Dude, spinning it one time to see what the songs are is most definitely not going to "spoil" your 7".
 
It was less a questioning "what" than a "are you fucking kidding me?" what.

Actually a lot of companies will price match if a sale happens ~a week after you buy something. What world do you live in?

Jesus christ how is that dumb...that isn't how sales work. What's the cutoff for how long you before you can order something and ask for a retroactive sale? 2 days? a week? a month?  It's so obvious why they wouldn't do that. No other company would either. 

RIP Title Fight. Will Yip claims another victim.

these prices are changing by the minute! they charge whatever they want based on who you are...fuck this release!

FEATURING BAND APPROVED SHIPPING

http://nakedallyrecords.storenvy.com/products/11408583-dilute-grape-blueprints-pour-spinach-olive-grape
 
Grape Blueprints Pour Spinach Olive Grape is the sophomore album by Fremont, California-based Dilute. Originally released on compact disc in 2001, it is believed by many to be a masterpiece, definitive across the genres that it explores. Dilute’s instrumentation beautifully undulates between tactful understatements and complex escalations with precision and melody. Though somewhat few and far between, Marty Anderson’s vocals offer lyrical aphorisms in a register that is both eerie and alluring.
 
All orders will receive a digital download that includes two previously unreleased songs. All pre-orders will also include a DVD of an entire Dilute performance from February of 2001.
 
Pressing Information: 
100 - White 
200 - Black
 
** One random pre-order customer will also receive a test pressing (only 10 made).
 
** This item is a pre-order and will not be shipping until March 31st.

That seriously means the world to me, my friend. I am borderline crying.
 
I've received a ton of great e-mails from new parents since I started the project, and every time that I hear that people are using them effectively, I smile. 

To those asking why TNWWL hasn't been repressed it's what was once UP (now defunct) has the masters - it's one guy actually (not the original founder of the company) and he either doesn't care enough or is just sitting on them.  A lot of the bands aren't happy.  Modest Mouse's Lonesome Crowded West and Long Drive reissues (which thankfully sound excellent) took forever because the band basically had to recreate the vinyl masters.
 
As far as that BTS PFNO - Thailand Tape - it is totally legit - I used to work in the WB Records International Department in the late 90s and cassettes at that time were still the top selling format in a few smaller Asian countries - I couldn't believe it - I did see the art for the packaging float by my desk though.
 
BTS were my favorite band then and are still my favorite band now.  I have a signed copy of TNWWL on vinyl and it is my favorite record I own - PFNO is still slightly better in my opinion because it is the best album ever, but it's not better by much, instantly making TNNWL a top 5 album of all time too

This probably belongs in the "shit on bands" thread, yeah? Seeing as if everyone made a thread about each band they hate, it's all this board would be...
