Info: Our projects released thread — Page 20

Well I can tell this I am not going to do, and I do get a lot of PM's for that to, I am not a service, people always PM me can I send you these 2 blanks for you to burn these 2 for me and then send back, well no I can't, this does not help us at all, it helps you, but not us, and I am saying this in general, I am not pointing fingers, I can point fingers lol but I won't.

So I guess we will just leave things as they are, we will share when we have something to share, I have already been talking withe some of the Team tonight and they feel the same way, although we are all pretty disappointed it went this way but what can you do?

Take Care guys, I will post info when I have it.

 I wouldn't mind sending blanks for projects I'm interested in but I could also send spindles of blanks if need be. i.e. Only a couple of discs for me and the rest for you to burn. I'd be more than willing to ship spindles of blanks no matter what.

Now this is what we would need, this.

I buy the 50 disc spindles of BD25s for cheap with Optical Quantum BD25s so I'd be able to help others.

Correct me if I'm wrong but TeamBlu does not use cheap media for project purposes.  I believe DJ uses only 1 brand of disc and they are on the high end of the price range.  I have offered donations of lower end media for burning and was turned down so I don't think it's lack of trying for folks.  They just use materials that probably exceed most folks monetary level of donation.

In the end, it's probably better this way.  They can concentrate on what it is they've got planned and make it work with less stress.

I'm excited to see what's coming, when it comes, of course.

Cheers Team, do what ya gotta do.

:)

If I could afford it I would definitely donate, sucks that life gets in the way at times.  Medical expenses, etc :(

First i would like to say a big THANK YOU to the members of Team Blue.

Im not the more active member of the forum, thats an understatement lol, but i more than grateful and aware of the hard work and love of cinema that goes into your work.

Id be more than happy to help in anyway, thing is im not always aware of what is needed and mostly when. I cant probably afford whole spindles (gotalook into it tho) but i definitly can send 10 from times to times. Ive always had a bad timing when contacting team members. I dont keep track of the forum as much as i want.Maybe some sort of mailing list would help, contact people directly.
Dunno just throwing the idea out there, could be no practical or maybe there are legal issues... Dunno...

As for people asking for burning service, i was one of them until i got all my gear sorry about that, might be a good thing to post some rules in this thread. Answering the basic questions. The do or donts, to save you some time answering pm's.

Again just ideas to help a bit and again thanks for your work guys!

DJ, What about people donating for the blank discs who just want some of said discs for custom compilations? I'm making a custom 7-Disc compilation for CONAN the Barbarian which will include the discs Team Blu made as Discs 3 & 4 in the set which I outlined in post 480 in the Conan the Barbarian thread.

But I'm still interested in Night of the Living Dead (1990) and Fright Night Part II though. Should I ship my own discs and still donate or care to private message me?

 

To be honest I am not following what you mean here, but anyways because of the lack of support we are going to have to start doing things differently now, we actually thought more would want to help out but we were really wrong lol, you are only the 4th person to say anything and a couple want a lot of stuff in return so that really isn't even donating or helping, all I know for certain is that I cannot afford to keep paying for all that goes into our work, almost every single thing that gets done is paid for in some way by me, hell even some of these HD files that were made into BD's I had to pay for the video, so this weekend or sometime soon after we will all discuss how and what we are going to do moving forward.

A special thanks to vbangle though, he is and has always been a huge supporter to me(in my solo days lol) and to the Team, so thank you very much V, you are a great dude!

I will say, we are not stopping our projects, but we will no longer need suggestions, I will not post teaser or even talk about them anymore, I will announce when the project is done and where\how to get it, since we will no longer send hard copies this means we have NO testers, this is just some of the changes, oh and releases will take a little longer now, for me to make 100% sure menu's and such are correct I need to burn it to BD, so when I have these on hand, then I test, and BD re-writeables do not give you a good menu test, BD players do not like these BD's at all, so there you have it.

Thanks

I have always been a proponent of the team and its; work. I feel they provide a great service for the community and I for one am extremely grateful.

I am always willing to send media or whatever I can to continue the pursuit of new projects by the team. Just say the word.

It's a shame as the Team has never openly asked for assistance to continue providing great stuff for all to enjoy. Upon doing so, they are met with not even a handful of offers. That seems quite selfish.

I am here if you need help Team. Just reach out. I appreciate all the memories you have helped preserve for me. Most importantly ones I shared with my father. That kind of thing cannot carry a price tag but I stand ready to help any way I can. I only wish others would see the work you all do to give back without asking for much.

Thank you DJ and Team.

No thanks needed guys, we are all glad you enjoy what we do, but we have decided to not accept anything at all and just make serious changes to what we do from here on out, hell 1 member already has lashed out a little in the Conan thread and this was totally uncalled for, so needless to say I will not use anything he provided(which is not as much as he made claim to) so I will not have to post a thanks when the project releases, I will get my own sources.

So no need for suggestions, recommendations or anything like that regarding "donating" materials, plus we will no longer need suggestions for projects, the 4 of us can come up with what to do pretty easily ourselves, plus we want to see an end, a light at the end of the tunnel, there are a couple others here that are trying to do what we do so pass on your suggestions to them.

Again, no thanks needed, just enjoy what has been released and we hope you enjoy whatever we release in the future.

Thank You and take care

There should be hundreds of members supporting Team Blu. This place doesn't know what a special privilege it is to have talented people like Team Blu putting out preservations that are in every way that matters, perfect.

I feel embarrassed on behalf of this place...my apologies Team Blu. For all the thankless hours Team Blu has spent on their work, thank you very much.

vbangle,

I have no issues with you but this post is entirely thoughtless and demeaning.  It suggests that hundreds of members have open bank accounts but that they are greedy.  This is so far from the truth.  Even DJ said he cannot afford to keep doing the dazzling packages they've been doing.  Heck, most of us weren't even able to get those pre-made and sent like others did.  We had to download them like the rest and enjoy.  Those of us with Blu-ray burners (not everyone has those because they can't afford them) are able to at least have physical discs but no artwork, case or printed discs.  

As for the thankless hours you speak of, TeamBlu has gotten a plethora of thanks and great reviews on the work they've done.  You make it sound as if the thread is as bare as a wild west ghost town with only the tumble weeds a blowing.

In the end, I'm disappointed to see a member of ours sass everyone else without cause.  There were a small group of us who donated money to purchasing actual prints for poita to scan.  Those projects are going to be shared with everyone, regardless of whether they donated or not, and those of us who donated don't have issue with it.  Did you thank them?  

If you want to come in riding a blame horse next time, you should inspect it first, just to make sure it's not dead like this one is.

My sincerest apologies to the Team, I saw the post and I could not let it go unchallenged.  It is NOT meant in disrespect to you or anything you've done.

Hey it's all good, vbangle is a very passionate guy and a very good friend, he probably just got caught up in the lack of support\responses we got since I posted this, hell it took all of us by surprise to as a matter of fact, so lets not bicker and argue about this, what's done is done, lets just all move forward now and continue on in our own way, as some of you may have noticed I have already begun editing a lot of posts here, and I also renamed the Terminator thread because it really is not ours anymore.

Thanks again to all

This whole matter just saddens me for a community such as this that all wants the same thing.

Unless you have gone to every thread and thanked or offered assistance to every project going on I'd stop trying to stoke the fire with these comments.

 1) I have offered assistance to every project this team has done ! So don't come at me. I was stating point of fact.

2) Any project that needs assistance of which I am aware of, I have offered assistance. E.g. Harmy's project.

3) I am done. Nuff said.

I was referring to every project on the site, not just ones that you are interested in.  I have no personal issue with you.  I thought DJ was pretty clear that it was done.  No personal disrespect meant to you.

What is a BRD? and I am confused, what does this have to do with our projects?

OK thanks, I guess I will "move on" out of our thread lol.

Still confused by what any of this means for us, but oh well, and still what is a BRD?

DJ, I couldn't respond to your message because I'm not on your friends list - would you like to remedy that? But to answer your question I'm afraid I don't have that disc - hope you manage to track it down.

 Some people shorten BluRay Disc as "BRD" and not "BD".

I know lol, but it is not right, it is BD, not BR and not BRD LMAO!

 Mr. Dark Jedi,

How come you deleted your account at MS? Frustrated with too many users demanding the projects?
