hmm, wow.
I never conversed with Nintega much, though I recall seeing his posts on this forum when i'd scan the recent topics. I also recall the picture war between him and Michael.
I didn't see much bullying on Nintega, other than by Michael, however I was never around for his shoutbox appearances or for the pictures he posted of Michael.
This remidns me...
The only time I griped at a modder was SegaSonicFan, as He had my X'Eye for an S-Video mod, and after a week I did not hear from him, I sent an e-mail askign him to update me on the status of the mod. After 2 days with no response I sent him another e-mail asking him to PLEASE send me an update on the progress of the mod. He replied telling me to chill out, it's posting soon, calm down, etc. No big deal, I jsut needed to know something, as I had never dealt with him before, and didn't want anything to go missing.
He returned the system without the AC adapter, When I e-mailed him to ask about the AC adapter, he told me I did not send him the AC adapter. Long story short, he went through all the packing material, found the AC adapter I sent him, and posted it to me. All was well, the system worked fine, and the S-video looked great. He also did not charge much for the modification. The pros outweighed the cons, an I recommend him.
Anyway, this thread brought that experience to surface in my mind.
Oh, and grahf did an excellent job modifying my Duo-R! UPS did dent the box and knock the CD laser aroudn, however after pushing it into place, it worked fine.
