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.
He paid for a working gun. In a certain amount of time.
Lets ignore the delivery date issue.
You supplied the parts for said gun from your venders. You should have dealt with the venders if something was wrong with those parts or if your ano vendor damaged a part. This was the first I'd heard about the LPR being bad at all, since all the others worked just fine. Nobody can fix what they don't know is wrong. But there again, since I'm an awful person I'd probably have just let it be anyway. He should not have had to go elsewhere & pay extra to replace parts that should have worked begin with. And that your vendors wont warrenty because he was not the original buyer. BS. AGD warranty goes to the owner of the marker, not the dealer who sold it to him.
Think of it this way. If go buy a new car & the transmission doesnt work who do you go see? The dealership that sold you the car. They then deal with the vendor (car company) to get it fixed. If they made you run around or just left you with a transmission that doesnt work you would be pissed. Same thing here. And again, the car company would at least need to be notified of an issue before they'd do anything. Same thing here, except that since I'm an awful person, I'd probably have just let him dangle anyway.
You should have done the same. Not try to pawn blame off on anyone who you possibly can.
Jai should not have needed to get involved to get this project to completion. Jai came in at my request, because he knew the ins and outs of the UTB, and I did not. BE came in at Jai's request because neither of us could figure out what was wrong with Home's brand new XValve. They didn't just happen along, they were asked, to finally get this debacle finished. BigEvil should not have needed to get involved to get the gun working. Those two have saved you ass. You should be paying them for their work not your customer. Who said Jai wasn't getting compensated for his work? AGD should be the one paying BE, since their crappy QC is what necessitated his involvement in the first place.
In summary, you can basically take your righteous indignation and blow it out your posterior. lol
I am washing my hands of this project. The only person I've heard anything from has been Home, and that was mostly due to this wonky XValve (brand new from AGD, btw). Everyone else seems to have figured it out without major issues.
This project went poorly, I've admitted as much, and now I am done with it, and shall never repeat such an undertaking again.
Lecture 'till your heart's content, makes me no difference.
At least I delivered a product at the end of it all. That's more than can be said about a great many preorders that have been done here.
