I do think if Rocky gets his money back that Erik should be paid for his products. Ok, bring it in fellas for a group hug....

Whoa!!! Wait a fucking minute here! Now you are going to bash me for sticking up for a brother??? Really, Frank? weren't you just last week stating how you disliked Erik's communication??? And now your going to bash me for sticking up for a brother??? My post today correlated to the story that I got directly from Rocky... My point of the post was that I was "Disappointed" that Erik left Rocky feeling that he didn't give a fuck about the money card issue and that it took us members and another sponsor to step and help him out! Pretty fucking simple! If you really read my post, it was not a bash at all, in fact I complimented EGH gear! You are the one moderator that I figured would call it as it is, not suck up to a sponsor who treated a brother like shit on 2 separate occasions! Before the thread is deleted, I invite you and everybody else to re-read it and look at it from my perspective! I was going to send this in a pm, but then it came to me that you didn't, so I'm not going to hide it either! I'm going to eat dinner right now and have a beer... This makes sad, bro!

This is my side: last night I was told by Pain that it could be a problem with being loaded incorrectly with CVS. I do not know this to be a fact, however, I have taken the necessary steps to investigate this matter. I have done so by submitting a dispute with GreenDot MoneyPak. Last night, I did tell Eric that this could be a possibility. At this current time, I have not been able to confirm that this was a loading problem, all I can go off of is the receipt indicating that the purchased GreenDot MoneyPak was activated with the balance of $435.00. It looks like this situation has become an event of pointing fingers and my intentions were not to try and get everyone's gear and money. That is ridiculous . I will be donating all gear that was sent to me by fellow brothers to BOP.

I would also like to add that I the 7 days I did not receive contact, I did assume that Erik took the funds off
the card because my wife created a Paypal account and verified the balance which stated, $0.00. I was not aware that this could possibly be a loading error until last night. I believe that there are faults on both sides of the cork here so can we please stop pointing fingers and get past this. If I get this dispute resolved through GreenDot MoneyPak and get funds back, I will pay Erik the money that he is deserved.

Erik, has been great to so many of us, especially me and always comes through. No one even comes close to his selection and the products are on point. It is a shame how this issue grew legs and came to this. As far as those that had a knee jerk reaction and canceled orders based on speculation.....if I were Erik I would tell you to go pound sand if you tried to order again. I am with rmkicks and sticking with Erik.

First, you weren't the only one that was adding to the fire here, I wasn't bashing you or singling you out in any way. And yes I did say that there needed to be a better/faster response from Erik after payment info was sent so that we know it went through fine.

And as far me "sucking up" to anybody, we all know that will NEVER be the case. There was facts that were not put out there. The bottom line is this, it's cool to stick up for each other and help out each other but there are always two sides to every story. And both sides should be heard before before start running wild. So, members and another sponsor sent rocky a bunch of free gear because there was a mix up with CVS. Then Pain gives up a auction to make sure Rocky gets everything he ordered. So the board is the one losing out here.

When what should have happened Rocky and Erik should have talked and figured out the problem. Then Rocky should have got with CVS and got his money back and then started over. So like I said before people need to relax a little and let the people involved handle it and figure out what is going on first.

And I will also say that I apologize if you felt I was coming down on you. You're a solid guy, I have no hard feelings towards you or anybody else. Just think things could've been worked out without a bunch of people losing out. (Members sending gear and Pain losing money for the board) like Pain said earlier, better communication needs to something that has to happen.

What should have honestly happend is Erik answered his emails / pm's or his reps within the first day or two since communication is key with any source maybe none of this would have been takin this far? Since the source took to long to reply now the GD card has no money on it sure people are going to point the blame one way or another until the problem is solved.

All I am saying is that communication is key. I know this is not wally world ect but people need to communicate instead of leaving people stranded in the dark , when people are left with the lights off they start thinking differently.

Hopefully EGH will start communicating a little better because if it was not for the people they would not be a source , customers make them happen.

No one is losing out here if it is a loading issue because I will get money back correct? And the gear sent from brothers I. Will gladly donate to bop or ship it back to all of them and if I get my money back then I will pay Erik for pack and donate to bop so how is anyone losing here?

Mick, It sounds like you don't know any of the story and are putting in your opinion anyway. No disagreement there... communication should be better than 7 days. My communication is (normally) within a few hours, sometimes a day or two. The last 2 months? I've been in and out of the hospital, dealing with health issues, and then getting backed up with orders because everyone waited for me to come back. I've been drowning and trying to catch up since we re-opened, and numerous posts have been made about this. No one was "left in the dark" as they claim. Open your eyes and read some of the posts in the forum, ask a rep...etc.

Communication WAS MADE by my reps. That's what they are here for.

I even commented on one or two of the threads personally regarding the delays.

I agree 100%!!! Communication is key! Especially having two reps here there was no reason Rocky should have been left in the dark. I understand the frustration. Something EGH needs to make more of a priority. The whole thing is messed up and doesn't make sense. But I think Rocky should have kept it between him, Erik and Pain or the staff until the situation was figured out. Just my opinion. That's all I have on it. I love all you guys....
