Info Wanted: What Ever Happened To PAY IT FORWARD?

And - it's a harsh fact, I know - but that is precisely what you are owed. The ability to read a forum on the internet and send private messages does not automatically entitle you to a copy of the latest fan edit.

 

Ok what does entitle you to an edit I ask?

Why do some people make whiny posts when they don't get what they want?

I get the impression you don't like me, have I done something to offened you? Just because you are a mod dosen't mean you have to have ago at your members

Info Wanted: What Ever Happened To PAY IT FORWARD?
Time

I should have called this thread something else really. I was getting at the PIF thing but in general, why where people not being very helpful unless I could supply them with a trade, when I thought the spirit of the site was to pass stuff on if someone asked and only ask for payment for postage and/or discs.

 

IN REPLY TO C3PXSo, what are you looking for exactly? Just Ady's SW: Revisited?"

I was after SW:R but also stuff like Indiana Jones edits, Bond, Matrix, Highlander, some preservations as well.

I didn't print the covers because people asked me to, I did it to be nice.

I don't appreciate you saying I was "had big time" when you don't know me or the story behind that.  It makes me look like an idiot and a jackass.  Don't do it again.

And if you have limited 'net access, how the hell could you burn the DVDs yourself if someone sent you a blank disc?  That makes no sense!  If you want a copy, but can't dowload it, how could you burn a copy onto a blank disc someone sent you?  Why would you even need someone to send a blank disc to you in the first place?  Buy one!

Besides, I've never seen a PIF request from you anywhere.  Where did you post them?

 

First of all - chill dude, ok that was nice of you to print covers, I never said people asked you to but what I was saying was I wouldn't and I wouldn't expect anyone else too either.

Second - I'm sorry I offened you but I don't appreciate you having ago at me either because you misunderstood my post, see below. Just by that comment you do make yourself look like an idiot and a jackass. If you've come on here just to have ago at me then I'd ask you to please leave.

Third - When I said "A blank data disc would be fine and I'd burn the DVD myself" I ment a DVD with the film as data with no label or case or cover.

Fourth - I never posted about starting a PIF only asked people through PMs, that's why you never saw anything.

 

As for Ziz just tobe clear I only want the discs, I have my own cases and will print the cover myself. And as I remember it some have the edit covers are on the disc anyway arnt they?

Sounds like you are asking all the wrong people.

I for one, have never been asked by you for anything. Yet I suppose I'd fall into the umbrella category of "everyone" who is so selfish and/or greedy". Be careful before pissing on everyone, you might be burning your bridges.

One problem is a lot of the guys who were big into edits have long since left. Throughout my time here I have been met with a lot of generousity, and I have always had very little to trade, and I am not a "super editor" like ADM of FF.

Another problem is, hardly anyone believes in PIFs anymore, because they always broke down pretty quickly and the same generous people were stuck with being generous all the time. It is nice to be generous, but I can see some of these guys giving up on PIF after realizing how much of their personal money they are throwing away to people not willing to do the same for someone else. Some people have lifted a finger so many times before, they are done lifting fingers.

And finally, another issue is that it is just easier for most people to download this stuff and burn it on their own. I doubt there are even enough people still around interested in getting this stuff by mail to get a PIF going.

Also I am pretty sure when Ady's edit first came out, I read quite a lot of talk about PIF chains in his thread, so some people were doing it.

So, what are you looking for exactly? Just Ady's SW: Revisited?

Holy meatballs C3PX! You are totally right, god I feal a fool, I see where you're coming from, and sorry of course I havn't asked EVERYONE and I shouldn't have said that.

You see the thing is I have very limited access to the net and most definatly can't download anything. And plus I'd been off the net for a while and when I finally got back on all my PMs had gone and any subs to topics. So it was like being a newbie and any contacts I had made were gone and I couldn't remember anyone.

 

A note to ChainsawAsh. You were printing covers and given cases out! Are you mad, thats way way more than you needed to do! I would never expect that much effort! A blank data disc would be fine and I'd burn the DVD myself! I feel for you man you were had big time.

Can someone please explain to me whatever happened to the PIF policy on the forum?

I have tried many many times to get hold of edits and no one is willing to help me out.

I have offered to supply discs, postage or anything they need, proof I owe the originals as well but no one is willing to lift a finger unless A) I’m a super editor like Adigitalman or Fanflirtation or B) I have something to trade.

If I am neither a high ranking member nor have a stockpile of other edits then I’m left with nothing.

I donated to Adywans amazing edit of ANH and have my name in the credits for my trouble, but have I even seen it? No is the answer. Why? Because my experiences with getting other edits has taught me not to even bother asking anymore.

Why are some people selfish and/or greedy?

Idea: a Casino Royale/Quantum Of Solace edit?
Time

I couldn’t find anything out there about this (correct me if I’m wrong). I’m talking about the re-boot version with Daniel Graig here.

I really enjoyed the film but it was just a bit too long. As it stands this might be worth waiting till Quantum Of Solace is released on DVD being that it’s pretty much Casino Royale Part II.

And I feel a cut of the two together ‘might’ be possible.

At the basic level I feel the last 15-20mins of Royale could be added to the opening of Solace.

Suggestions?
