I am posting this here because I do not want to see anyone else get screwed as I and MANY others have. I feel bad that I didn't come out about this LONG ago but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and I know things can come up. Well, I got played for over a year now and have found lots of other people who have been beaten for much more than I lost.
It appears that Corey owes many thousands of dollars to people who paid up front (either partial or full) for design work that they never received. As always, Corey ignored and then strung them along.
Many of you may think this is an isolated incident but that can't be further from the truth. I started dealing with him back in late 2001 when he designed and installed my first forum. There was troubles and delays even back then but I passed it off as a young designer that was busy or whatever. 6 months later I contracted him to do my second forum, www.PWCRacer.com , which turned into a major problem. I paid him up front and he disappeared on me completely for almost a month, after saying it would be ready within a week or two at the most. I had a number of sponsors signed up for paid advertising and over half backed out when after a month beyond the advertised opening date, nothing was online.
To this date (over a year later), he still has not completed the work I paid for. Even worse, I finally got him to come by to upgrade our Gallery (PhotoPost) so that the credits will be included in the gallery again and he "crashed it" and has not fixed it yet. Of course he has been promising to for over a month.
My members just love it.. They are not happy after all the photos being taken for the state championships disappearing days after they were put up there.
Any way, before any of you consider buying skins, using him for custom work, or anything else, PLEASE do yourself a favor and read the threads in this link.. I do think Corey has real talent when it comes to desgin, but his customer service skills are non-existant and it looks like his eithics have now gone criminal.
PS. I noticed that a thread over at vb.com was closed when people were complaining about Ravio/Corey. I sure hope that won't be the case here. Everyone in the vB community should be concerned with his activities and the potential for new vB clients to get burned.
