This place is funny.

This place is funny.

let's chat...what do you do for a living?

[stevenma188]

So can only MS3 owners chat here?

[Zoom Zoom Boy]

This place is funny.

Glad we can amuse you. It is largely reciprocal.

Fobio, I'm an aerospace machinist. I program and set up CNC lathes to produce ultra high precision parts for airplanes and us military cameras which are used on the predator attack drone unmanned vehicle. They do everything from guidance, to targeting to night vision and heat sensing/infrared.
You?

I watch other ppl's money for living, as an Investment Associate/Advisor.

I'm sure you have a lot of merits and work in a field where you're counted amongst the higher exchelon to be trusted with precision parts that ppl's lives (or the destruction of) depends on.

Sometimes, I too, wish we can all get by on our merits alone. But like the real world, nothing's perfect.

You have other parts in mind that you think will help others? Pics?

[Tokay444]

I've often thought about going back to university to get an engineer's degree, but I make enough money as it is, and I find there to be more pride in the production of a high quality part, than there may or may not be in designing one.
I have a lot of parts in mind. I'll be branching off on my own in a couple years and dong the things I want to do more than the things I have to do right now. It really is a shame I won't be able to "sell", or even gauge interest on the local forum. By that time though, I'm not sure how much of a market there will be for our platform.
Making money with other people's money always intrigued me. What happens when it goes wrong?
More pics are in the works too.

we mainly focus on stuff that are safe...when you're dealing with big buckets, you don't want any holes/leaks, nor really need to take much risks. you life should be exciting, your investments should be boring.

other than solid shifter bushings (which I run), what else specifically can you make? For example, midz97 helped me with a couple of shifter extenders...

[Tokay444]

Those would be something I'd do if people were into it.
Things like shift weights. Weighted knobs. Light weight knobs. Stuff that can be machined from bar stock, as I'm a lathe specialist(and that happens to be the department I lead).
Once I have my place of my own the sky is the limit. I would never compare myself to anyone else, but plan to see stuff like jbarone's line, and more. Maybe some more detailed custom suspension bits... But this is down the road a ways.

[Fobio]

I can help you bring some parts to market, but you can't sell anything on any forum without pics. Unlike large scale manufacturing, no one will put money up for parts unseen, esp when they haven't dealt with you before.

I'm all for helping out the local guy, so let's keep chatting. PM me your email, if you like.

When do you plan to get set up to churn these out?

[Tokay444]

Oh I would totally have pics of everything I inteded to produce, and I'd never make anything I wouldn't use myself.
For obvious reasons I wouldn't be able to run some ms6 stuff, but I would if I could.
I would have loved to gauge interest a bit longer in that other thread had someone not been on their period for the second time in a month. Wasn't selling anything. Wasn't breaking any rules. Thread got closed over pms. I guess when you're a volunteer, you really need to do your due diligence to keep the forum running the way YOU see fit for yourself.

It was closed by another mod because you couldn't resist being a sarcastic douche regarding a legitimate comment from him that you would eventually need to become a sponsor in order to sell anything on this site. He didn't shut you down at that point, but was making you aware.

In fact, had you not starting making sarcastic comments, you would have had free reign to gauge interest and probably even to do an initial order before we would have made you become a sponsor to continue. Instead, you acted like a sulky ass on your first day back after a one week vacation and so that person just shut the thread down.

You'll find that there is a direct correlation on how you will be treated on here based on how you treat others.

[Tokay444]

For those that would a true judge of character, http://www.tdotballers.com/forums/in...howtopic=46369 here is three pages of personal feedback JUST from the gta paintball community. Still not trying to sell anything. Just wanting those that have views of me already to be fully educated on the subject.

So are you mommy, or are you daddy? Because he must have gone crying to one of them. You'll notice, how I treat others is a direct correlation of how much I dislike them. I'm here actively trying to better the platform with my very own skills, and you're sitting there knit picking what people say.

I'll leave this post up.

However, how you are viewed and how you treat other people on other forums is really kind of irrelevant. It is how you act and treat people on THIS SITE, that matters to us. Respect people and you will get the same in return. Have some patience and understanding, the same will be provided. Call it a quirky 'trend'.

[Fobio]

tokay444...think of these forums like a giant party at the Guvernment/Koolhaus...there's the Jungle room and the House room...TM3 is not MSF.org and I'm happy for that...just dance to a different tune depending on the room...you're still at a party bro!

I'm hoping this is the last time I have to clarify or justify one of my post. Although I understand what you are saying about the way I act on THIS site, and that's fine. The thing is, I'm the same everywhere, but have proven myself to be an asset enough to where people give me the respect I've earned based on the work I've done. Not how I post. Respect is earned. Not given. I fully intend on earning that respect from the mazdaspeed demograph, by producing high quality options for the platform. The feedback thread is totally relevant in that it paints a perfect picture of how I do business. If I am going to try to establish myself as a brand, people need to know how I do business. And for someone so new, that was the perfect avenue to base me on.

Yup. Last time for sure.

Funny how that works the other way around too.

+1 Very well put.

I'm an electrician if anyone is interested. I'm rated 6th in the province according to Skills Ontario for 2010. I found it funny because last year I drove a 6 and finished 6th. Now that I drive a 3 I wonder if I'll finish 3rd. I do high voltage distribution troubleshooting and everything in between right down to a plug in your basement.

[-cj-]

Heh... High voltage troubleshooting... I hope you get it right the first time!

What company do you work for? My cousin does sort of quality control of people's work for Hydro One. Kind of like a supervisor but kind of not he told me, haha.

[MajesticBlueNTO]

not exactly.
Noob asks for help
...
member starts telling off mods
dumb ass gets a one week vacation

Moral of the story - don't be an A$$hole, and don't flame mods.

so i take it this is a case of 'do as i say, not as i do'

See normally I would delete this and the rest since it has absolutely NOTHING to do with "random MS3 chatter", but then I would be an anal mod by over cleaning yet another thread.

I'm not saying that you are wrong since there was a lot of language and tone that was unnecessary in the thread you linked to, but you are trying to connect a problem with a member who was problematic to someone who lashed out. These incidents are completely different even though both should be addressed.

If you think there is a problem with the way things are being handled on TM3, please submit a complaint. You have been here long enough to see what goes on and how things are dealt with. In most cases we are fair. If things get out of hand it's typically NOT because of an oversized ego of a mod. We (the mod team) may not always be right or handle a situation perfectly, but all we can do is try to do our best.

Instead of cluttering multiple threads with this attempt to show how a mod is wrong, report it. Or perhaps create another thread for discussion.

I work for Smith & Long Ltd.

Your cousin will tell you that high voltage is technically anything over 750V, and most commercial installations are 600V. Most of my work is on 600V distribution and I also do transformer testing on transformers up to 13800V, the regular household voltage is 240V just to put that into perspective. I get to wear the bomb suit at work when doing stuff like that, just in case. I think it's just a due diligence thing. If something does happen my safety manuals for all my equipment says I can expect 2nd degree burns all over my body but I won'd be dead. I'm honestly not sure what's worse. Just remember the next time you turn on that light or your computer that electricity comes from somewhere and there are people like me making it possible. When I hear people get all pissed off about a blackout it's because Hydro needed to shut something down so someone could work safely. Think really hard if watching TV or going on the internet is more important than someone's life the next time the power goes out. Enough of my rant.

[alhope34]

Yea, my cousin mostly works at transformer stations dealing with 125 to 500kv.
