Thanx Otangung for juicing up my PP account a bit - Out of curiosity, if I was a member of Black Lies Matter, would I be ostracized from your fine little gaming community as well ??

Wow, you care so little about what we say that now you're posting in this thread, too? 

Try answering the question, homely
You may have wet dreams of being a mod at pcenginefx, until you are you just gotta deal with the fact that I can post when and where I want to.

Don't think anyone died and made you official spokesperson for anything Mathius - I will come and go as I please without the slightest reference to your feelings or need to explain.

You are awkwardly simplistic, as if you really know peoples life stories from a few online posts.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Home Brew TG 16 Edge lit sign]

Maybe some free watermelon seeds for you.

So why did prof "leave" ... Wouldn't have anything to do with AIDS complications would it ??

So much for being reformed and unfairly judged for past behaviour which was supposedly all in the long past. :/

Don't know which side of your ass you are pulling this out from, never had the slightest need to justify myself to you pc forum addicts - Least of all ebay cheap computer parts seller prof - Who seems to be failing even at that. You guys want to provoke me with cheap chatter, go for it and maybe I'll respond, maybe not.
Truth be told, reason I haven't even logged in once here in over 2 years is because I find guys like you pathetic and not worth a minute of my time.

Prof "leaves" ? Maybe me posting in this thread again will induce him to "come back" !
Last time I gave half a shit about him was never - Nulltard nailed it, I forgot this place existed until I got a pm today.

Cluster of a topic briefly unlocked, thought some might be interested and I'm sure the usual suspects here still posting away are still butthurt but oh well.

Anyone interested in a acrylic design shoot me a PM.

Stuff a sock in it shitmouth, your whining will only encourage me to post more - As I could not possibly give less of a flying fuck what a loser like you wants or needs.

[Off-Topic / Re: How would you handle this ebay situation that I'm in?]

Ah, ProfessorPenis still pounding the keyboards at all hours of the night - If I need the opinion of a snot nosed bitch mod wannabe, you'll be the 1st one I ask.

[Off-Topic / Re: How would you handle this ebay situation that I'm in?]

I wouldn't neg, that would leave me feeling a little girlish.
I would insist that he void the transaction though, cause you could actually be on the hook for a non paying bidder strike otherwise. He has to initiate voiding it by sending you a cancel transaction form, which you'll of course accept.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: RAFFLE OF THE CENTURY!!! 2 NeoFlash carts!]

I don't get people who only visit these forums to stir up shit and act like assholes. Seems to be a trend here lately.

Dude, he's already stated a few times that the whole "Raffle of the century" thing was sarcasm. It's obvious you're only here to fuck with him, so how about you either contribute something constructive or GTFO?

Don't get all shook up, "dude". I have the perfect right to say whatever I want, without any particular regards to your sensitivities.
Don't like it, you have the choices of trying to become a mod here, ignoring me, or learning to deal with it.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: RAFFLE OF THE CENTURY!!! 2 NeoFlash carts!]

Xray, some have the ability to repair these, others would like to try/learn.
i have no issue with someone wanting a flawed item, as I myself have sought such many times.
my only concern was that the winner not be disappointed after receiving them, for failure to read the first post.

True.
Can't complain about for a freebe anyhow.
Haven't followed this thread for weeks, the issue seems to be a self proclaimed grand giveaway of the century turning into a protracted muddle of shit, where no one is clear if or when this alleged dubious grand prize will ever be given to who.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Home Brew TG 16 Edge lit sign]

I guess another point i'm trying to make is out of the literally billions of different designs you could cut/carve/design with your machine that would also make you money you "choose" to do the Nazi/white power stuff.

Like if this was strictly for money.  You could make more money off of the religious stiff b/c Christians/Muslims/Jewish people are a higher percentage of the worlds population than Nazi sympathizers.  

Or if you did video game stuff for any system at all you would make much more money than you would by selling the signs in question, because video game collectors would go crazy for that stuff, but instead you "choose" to be the one who caters to groups of hatred, and justify it by saying i don't agree w/ everything they do.

Fair points [Took a while to check this post, I know this is old news by now].
As far as Nazi ideology ,,, And I think I have said this before. ... I'm not all that up to date on it. I'm not an "absolutist". No doubt at all, I'd agree with many of their points. Others, I would not. I don't agree with mass atrocities that were committed by German forces under Nazi command - And I don't agree with mass atrocities committed under Allied command. Allies killed 100'000's of woman and children in mass fire bomb raids ,,, Choking, smothering, incarcerated to death, en masse, Yet, if I created the logo of the Mighty 8th Air Force which caused all this mass carnage, not many would have a problem with that.
I wouldn't either, war is hell. I've been there and done that. I have killed in combat, though of course not on the scale, intensity or passion of WW2. I have killed in hot blood, I have had close friends die in my arms. I have done and experienced things that most of you, god willing, will never have to face. [USMC 1986-2000] Combat deployments Panama/Somalia/Desert Storm.
Thats life, hard cold facts as the way it happens. I did was I was ordered to do, Germans did what they were ordered to, Allied forced who firebombed civilian population centers and practiced unrestricted submarine warfare against merchant shipping did what they were ordered to do.
"Nazi" is not "white power", to me. May be to you, not me. German designs to me are attractive. I don't sugarcoat, I don't shy away like a little girl from reality.
I'm white, and very proud of my heritage and ancestors. Yet, I wish other races the very best, so long as they don't seek to live off my back. I don't owe people from Haiti, Kenya or Somalia anything, they don't owe me.
You think I'm a racist for documenting history, thats fine with me. I wear your labels as a badge of honor. Germans designs are far and away the most attractive, imaginative and innovative of all military/political/paramilitary designs ever, and if you want to close you eyes and pretend/wish they never existed, thats on you. There are many people who have a legit historical interest in this stuff, without being rabid white supremacists - I am one of them.
I like German, not only Nazi, but Imperial. I like WW2 USMC, some Russian, and British. [BTW, Stalin murdered a whole hell of a lot more than Hitler, I bet you bleeding hearts wouldn't have a problem if I offered a Hammer & Sickle design]
Mao murdered more than both of the combined - So you can see, you are a bit brainwashed in this matter.
I don't "cater" to anyone. I do religious stuff, because am a Christian. I have done Islamic stuff, on request. Am I a greedy fucker who will do anything for a $$ ?
No, I wouldn't do satanic shit, for example. I wouldn't do pro gay shit, because I am against that. 3rd Reich is a historical fact and, like it or not, there will always be an interest in their many designs and symbols.
The Swastika itself, as most are aware, predates the Nazis by 1,000's of years. The SA symbol, which caused such a squeamish reaction, is really pretty mild.
Hitler himself purged the SA well before WW2, and it played a very minor role in subsequent events ,,, So much so that no SA leaders were ever tried for war crimes at the end of the war.

As far as my membership at a racist website under the nym "Sho Nuff" well, I'm sure we all have a few skeletons in the closet.
We are all products of our yesterdays, mine involved bloody fights early on [6-7 grade elementary school] with blacks during forced bussing, which was imagined to bring blacks & whites close together and live in peace and harmony. Let me be the one to tell you, it had to opposite affect, and I was forced to fight for my life on a daily basis. You haven't experienced "racism" until you are in a minority of whites forced to go to school in a majority black school.
So yeah, I was a bit jaded from that, am still am - I will only note, if the nutty professor is so spot on with his internet snooping, that "Sho Nuff" didn't have a very long stay at "Chimpout.com" - I was banned, and guess for what reason ?
Because I defended Jimi Hendrix as the best guitarist ever, and an extraordinary talent. They jumped all over me like a pack of wolves, just like happened here, for having the nerve to say anything positive about a "nigger". I told them people to fuck right off, and deleted my profile there before I was banned.

I call em as I see em, and I don't have the time of day for bleeding hearts or basement warriors.
Quite a few people here have my contact info, if you really feel the need, pm me and I'll be more than glad to supply that if you really have something to get off your chest.
I'll lock this thread again, forum circle jerks are not my style. You want to talk, send me your phone number, I'll send you mine.
Plexi signs, admittedly not that spectacular, are still available for those interested.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: RAFFLE OF THE CENTURY!!! 2 NeoFlash carts!]

Amazing, how many people get geeked at the prospect of inheriting of flawed, throw away junk that, in ordinary circumstances, could hardly be given away ... But when ballyhooed as the "RAFFLE OF THE CENTURY !!!!" attracts like flies to shit !
YES, the hardcore Nazi is back ! At least for today [ Admittedly, I do have a short attention span].

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: New member]

I'll go ahead and lock this one to avoid another collective circle jerk - You guys must be about jizzed out, take a little rest !

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Home Brew TG 16 Edge lit sign]

Wow, you guys are literally nutting all over each other over this - I'd bet 10 to 1 that the majority of you still live with your mothers, no question about it.
Shouldn't expect anything more from Michael Jackson admirers.

As far as ideology,  I'm not an absolutist, as most of you haters apparently fancy yourselves. I'm sure there are some things in the Nazi "platform", that I'd agree with, others, not. Can't say I ever studied it [believe it or not!]
I do designs that I think are attractive, and that have the potential to sell. As stated, I'd have no prob doing a star of David [what would uncle Adolph have thought of that??] I have done islamic things for muslims such as "God is Great!" and the crescent moon & star.
I've done Glock logos for guys into guns, and I am attracted to designs which I think look nice. No question about it, German designs are nice - And it might interest you bleeding heart wussies to know that alot of jews are into Nazi collecting.

Most of you I'm sure are painfully uncreative, and couldn't come up with something nice that you designed and made yourself to save your lives ,, So you wouldn't have a good grasp about developing an eye for designs that have potential. Prof, for instance - Spends the majority of his life posting on gaming/computer forums ,, About the next great motherboard ! Or the best way to utilize 4gb of RAM ect. Wow, thats exciting ! I'd love to see a guy like this honestly post his life experiences and employment history. I know I'd laugh my ass off, get bored to tears after 3 paragraphs, then actually feel sorry for anyone who chooses to lead such a pathetic existence.

But enough of all that, you guys are on a roll and are probably having the most excitement you've had all summer, so I'll let you get back to that uninterrupted.
Prof & NightFag have probably splooged all over their keyboards half a dozen times this past 24 hours.
I have sold a dozen + signs, everyone that has bought so far has been more than content .. Don't want one cause I'm an evil guy that likes white chicks & German designs ?
Keep your $$, I'll keep my signs, simple. Unlike the majority of you, I have a life and a job, these are barely even worth my while to do.

Do yourselves a favor guys, don't ever attend a biker rally or go to an air show [Especially wearing your MJ Tshirts !]

Wow... Odd response.
Your making of those ebay signs and part of those hate forums how do you explain that?

Uh ,,, And what hate forums would that be ?
How do I explain making an SA sign ? Its a nice design ,,, I'll make you a kick ass Star of David if the price is right !
Don't know exactly what the obsessed computer nerd from Arkansas is posting about me, if you believe it all, you are a bit on the dense side.

No time limit on these Fifty, I could produce one next month just as well as tomorrow.
My limiting factor is plexi, I have a decent stock, but have other projects with it going on. When and if I have to get another sheet, I'll probably go with 1/4, which looks just as nice, and is cheaper and easier to cut.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Home Brew TG 16 Edge lit sign]

Lol thanks VestCunt ... There are actually 2 threads about me, posted by the usual 2 obsessed suspects.

This thread could certainly use a good cleansing, shame that off topic banter and petty forum vendettas are allowed to intrude on "productive topics", to steal a phrase from you.

[Off-Topic / Re: The "ignore" function is for pussies.]

I'm starting to wonder if this jibberjabber guy and the PedoProfessor are the same drag queen ?

Lets see, they:

* Meticulously stalk my threads, often posting within minutes of eachother
* Have both taken to calling me "the sign guy" or some shit like that
* Have both started threads about me in "fighting street"

Kinda hard to tell if they are just sycophantic ball sniffers, or sockpuppets.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Home Brew TG 16 Edge lit sign]

These 2 peons are forum trolls, vying with each other who can come up with the cleverest 1 liners.

No, it is not really easy.
We are not talking about stenciling something on a bathroom wall here. The slightest imperfection on plexi will stand out like a hairy green zit on a tit.
Cutting out the design by hand in thick cardboard ? You are almost guaranteed to have wavy lines, and a fuzzy edge which will absorb paint, and transfer it to the plexi. Things like this are done via silkscreen, or cut out sticky vinyl.

Prove me wrong, and post a pic !

[Off-Topic / Re: Hitler....villian or victem]

I'm really starting to wonder why this forum attracts so many creeps like Xray here. From what I've seen, this guy should've been banned already. If you guys think you're going to get him to back down, don't. People like him live for insulting others on the Internet. Yes, it's pathetic, but there's not much we can really do about it.

...But, then again, I fly off the handle sometimes, too. I used to have a HUGE grudge against PCEngineHell, and I threw some nasty insults myself. Then, I tried to ignore some of his more inflammatory posts, and he became (IMO) a decent guy who contributed to the forum outside of Fighting Street, and I haven't fought with him since.

You guys really ought to rub a bit of salve on your hurt little butts, and move on.
Damn straight, I won't back down from either brown nosing forum sycophants like you, or loud mouthed, vulgar muckrakers like PedoProfessor -  But neither will I indulge your apparent passion for bickering.
You Xray haters have probably outposted me by 20 to 1 in these 2 threads, that should tell you a little bit about "people living to insult others on the internet".

As far as getting me banned, instead, you ought to be thanking me.
I have probably provided you and your crew with the most excitement you've had all summer.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Home Brew TG 16 Edge lit sign]

Fluorescent as in DayGlo, as in UV reactant jive.

Like what I said I would do.

No, he said "engrave it", you had in mind painting a stencil, big difference.
Your idea could be cool in its own right, if you can find a way to avoid paint bleed - Post a pic if you ever get around to it.

I do have a large chunk of 1/4" smoked plexi, people use it as a sun reducer in windows on patios ect. Not sure if it would lend itself well to edge lighting, I'm doubting it.
I also have some pure white, would look great with a normal front engraving, and the design filled in with epoxy paint ,, That would be somewhat of a project though.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Home Brew TG 16 Edge lit sign]

Not sure what "fluorescent colored" would be ??
They do make plexi in a variety of tints, might be hard/expensive to get ahold of.
I have a plexi shop around me thats about a 40 mile round trip, worth it if I was to get a whole sheet of it, but not for a little chunk. Ordering online, I'd get raped by shipping. So while I generally could cut into anything for custom work, the buyer would have to foot the costs.

A couple folks have asked, to clarify, I have 3 prototypes left for $25 each shipped.
The 2 painted ones, and the TG logo outline one.

SNIP

I have the equipment, material and expertise to crank out a professional looking product at a reasonable price - You don't.

Hey man, I really like your signs and plan on ordering one after payday. Having said that, you might want to tone down this last part. I don't know if Ark has the ability to crank out a similar sign or not, but he most certainly has made professional looking products before—he's one of maybe a handful of people to actually release a homebrew game for the TG and I assure you it's quite professional.

Anyway, like I said, not a knock on you or your work. What you've done is truly amazing and I can't wait to have one!

You are right, wasn't meaning to toot my own horn, or demean the creative abilities of others.
I am talking about acrylic edge lit in particular though, and as far as that goes, from what he said its easy to tell that he doesn't have the equipment, material or expertise to crank out a professional looking product at a reasonable price .. Else he wouldn't have been talking about simply spray painting a dayglo stencil on a piece of plexiglass.
When you are talking with someone who has experience in a field that you are knowledgeable in, its easy to tell - But thats not to say I'm the #1 go to guy in the USA for edge lit signs, I'm still learning, and enjoying it.
I'm always interested to hear what others are into, I admire anything creative.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Home Brew TG 16 Edge lit sign]

z

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Home Brew TG 16 Edge lit sign]

I am going to make one myself for like 30-50$$

Step 1: blow the logo up at Kinkos, make a stencil
Step 2: Paint it onto a sheet of acrylic or something with dayglo paint
step 3: UV keychains

Or you could just use bright ass LED keychains instead.  You can get those things like, 3 for 2$.


Last time I checked, some plexiglass wasn't that expensive, and dayglo paint is dirt cheap.

Nothing wrong with stencils, I have been making them since I was a kid, and still do.
I think you are not quite grasping the concept of edge lit signs though. It is the engraved etching which catches the light when the edge is lit, and makes it appear as though the letters are lit. Simply stenciling a pattern to the back won't light a thing, though it may look cool in its own right. It must be etched for the design to be edge lit.
Keep in mind, it would be almost impossible to simply spray paint on a design without having the paint bleed through the edges of the stencil, looking like shit. Also, if you do try this ,,, [And you could likely do it on your PC without having to go to kinkos, especially the way they freak out over any copyrighted logos], make sure to flip the image horizontally, that way it will look right when you look at it from the front.

You'll need something with far more power than a keychain gadget to light these up, unless your design is keychain size [some guys actually do make them that small].

As far as pricing, I'm not saying this shit it worth its weight in gold. It is surprisingly expensive to anyone who has not priced it out.
As stated, 1/2 is not easily available, you might be able to special order it, but chain home improvement stores stock nothing thicker than 1/4 ,,, And that shit is fairly expensive itself.
Here is one of the first results that turned up in a google search of "1/2 plexiglass"
http://www.jmkdisplays.com/sheet.html

I imagine their prices are competitive, else they wouldn't be in business.
1 square foot of 1/8 plexi is $3 - 1 square foot of 1/2 is $13 ... And thats not including the cutting charge, or shipping.

Here is another place
http://setshop.com/photo-backgrounds/plexiglas    $375 for a 4x8 ft sheet of 1/2 plexi, I'm guessing shipping on something this size and weight would be well over $100, probably more like $200.
1 square foot - I couldn't even make 2 8x6's with a chunk that size, just 1. And keep in mind, when the final product is 8x6, the actual piece I use is more like 9x7. You have to allow yourself some slack on all sides when you make any cut, so the blank must be oversized.
With most wood, I can get away with 1/2 oversize on all sides, but thats cutting it very close. For these, I leave an extra inch or more on the height and on the width, to make sure I don't fuck up. Positioning on CNC is itself somewhat of an artform, and takes a while to get good at.
I have botched quite a few pieces and wrecked quite a few expensive router bits trying to conserve material, cutting it too close and running over a hold down screw. Thats just another reason why any old Joe could not do this on the first day, or week even - And thats one reason why people pay other people to do stuff like this.

I have the equipment, material and expertise to crank out a professional looking product at a reasonable price - You don't.

and yes i agree with this.... "People are judged on their merits, what they say, what they do"

Not harsh at all, something you'd expect from a 12 year old, not from an alleged grown man.
There is enough blame to go around, I'll take my share, but not all. I have proven myself a civilized, mature, helpful, honest poster [did I forget any??] when people are the same with me ,, Works that way in real life, works that way here. I could have really dragged things far down into the gutter, that was avoided by:
* Me putting the flame baiters on ignore, and
* Bernie reaching out to put an end to our flame war
There are still a select few diehards trying to drag me back into muck raking, so far I have avoided that as well.

Let me play with it a bit, for any potential sales yeah I'd almost have to keep it under $100.
I should be able to knock the machining time about in half by sacrificing a little detail and/or using a larger bit ,, But I'm not a big fan of compromises, so we'll see how it goes.
