AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Just packaged up a RT Classic for anodizing. I'm going with Arc Anodizing. I never used them before, but I'm excited to see what Ryan can do.
Ryan at Arc Anodizing just did this one for me, 3rd build I've sent him. He does real quality work, can't wait to see what he does with your RT Classic! mag4.jpg
Having used blizzard twice and having issues both times I cannot recommend them despite their reputation.
First anno experience issue - Parts came back with discoloring in areas, some parts were different shades of the same solid color, scratches from sanding easily visible and a piece came back from a different marker (wrong feedneck lever)
2nd anno experience issue - Parts came back with several pieces not even anodized (sent back and had it done, another 2 month process), color was off from the request due to 'they cannot color match other anodizers colors' yet they literally did the first color a few months before then so apparently they cant match there own colors (a sample of their own work was included), had to send the same emails numerous times with full parts list and color request 'It went missing apparently several times' and yet parts came back still anodized the wrong colors (I literally wrote out every single part and put the color next to it, described the part if i felt it was needed etc. I tried to make the entire thing as easy as possible).
For having a great reputation they really chapped my ass. I was told my next anodizing project would be super discounted but id rather spend extra coin and use someone else (Which i currently am with two other markers).
