Sorry, I need to vent.
 

I'm getting very tired of this. I've been needing a style since last November. I've posted on WHT, here, made small comments at vB.org, just about everything I can do. All I've gotten is...well I've gotten nothing from anybody.

It's been said plenty of times that I don't have a lot of cash. I have spoken with various people who have given me various excuses as to why they won't do the work for me.

I understand these people have lives and other obligations and that I'm probably not the first customer in line. Fine, no big deal. But to turn me away because I won't pay them $500 is just not very cool in my book.

To this point I've been very patient with all of this. Now, my patience has run out. I no longer have time to sit here and play games. I no longer have time to sit here and spend time talking with people who, the next day, are just going to tell me they won't do it.

I'm sorry for venting, but I really needed to because I'm getting very sick and tired of all this crap. All I want is a style for my forums that isn't one from vbskins.com or something like that. I don't even want a full skin, I just want a button set, category images and a header/nav menu. How hard can this be?? Oh, and I love the response from one person, "Well if you don't want to wait or pay my prices, then go do it yourself". I'm sorry, I believe that's why I was going to hire him/her, because I couldn't do it myself. Not everyone is good with graphics.

If you are intersted in doing this for me, won't turn me down because I won't pay you $500, have examples of your work, and work quickly (meaning you won't take 2 months), please PM me, email me, post here, or something. As I said before, I cannot afford to pay somebody an arm and a leg. I have a leased license (expires in October) that I'll turn over to you.

hate to tell ya.. but why WOULD people do it?

they have no reason to do anything for you....maybe give them something in return, doesn't have to be money...

Rufus: I said I was short on cash, I didn't say I didn't have any, and to add to that, if you would have kept reading I said I had a leased license I'd give (which is probably why Bluehemp quoted my post).

Cypher: I did not once yell at you, I was upset and did say that you were an a**, because quite frankly, you are. As far as your grandfather passing away, I'm sorry for your loss, however, you don't need to keep bringing that up. I'm sure you don't intend it to be that way, but it seems as if you are using that as an excuse. As I said, you probably don't mean to, but it seems that way to me. As far as "not saying another word", I did say "bye" which to me, concludes a conversation.

As far as the $500 goes, you are jumping to conclusions, I did not say you asked for $500. You took it that I meant you, so therefore, your assumption is wrong. I never once told you to shut up, for the record. I also did not say that everyone knows it, I said I know that I'm not the only one who agrees with it.

I also did not sit there and call you an a** for the entire conversation, I said that once, maybe twice, and I was telling you what I thought of you, which I have no problem doing (and I'm sorry if you don't like me being a straight forward guy).

There are people out there who would gladly accept a vBulletin license for doing simple work such as what I requested. You even said yourself that had you had "the time" you would have done it as it was a good deal.

Before you try and cover your own a** and make me look like the bad guy, think. You assumed this entire post was directed towards you, and it was not. You are only one out of the few people I have dealt with. You brought yourself into this post, not me. I left names out for a reason. Even though I don't like you or your work ethic (or attitude for that matter) I wasn't going to sit here and slander you on a public forum, and I still will not. This is a mere reply to what you posted.

I have Trillian as well and I didn't change the conversation. As far as you using your grandfather, I'm not getting into that, I stated what I thought of it and I'm leaving it at that.

You seem to think that I called you an a** because I was upset that you wouldn't do the work. You are wrong. I called you that because it's what I think you are, regardless if you do the work or not.

Cypher, at this point I think you should stop posting in this thread, it's not a flame against you in any way, it's about me venting on the problems I'm having finding someone to do a style. It seems like you're turning this into a flame war all because you think I got mad at you. Am I upset with you? Partially. I'm more upset at the situation than at you.

Stop reading into this and making it seem like I'm trying to bash you because I'm not, if I was I would have said your name and made the post about you. I didn't do that, now did I?

Cypher, why delete both of your posts in this thread? Who's editing conversations now....

i deleted them because he asked me to leave the convorsation, so i decided to remove the posts before i start getting flammed by many people

Well, I don't think it's fair that you delete your posts when you blamed him that he might/would edit conversation logs.

edit: quotes removed.

Given Radon3k's mood, let's keep this thread nice and strictly on topic.

a:/ - who do you think you are that you can just barge in here and get in the middle of my business be reposting my posts? look....i am in a ****** off mood at the moment, so just stay out of this, cause oyu do not belong. you are instigating, and oyu know it. You have the rught ot voice your opinion, but being a prick about it and reposting my posts is wrong.

I deleted my posts because i made them when i was in a bad mood, and i said some nasty things. SO....just leave this alone, cause this is getting out of hand.
