RE: Jack Devine Models website
I've got news for you. Jack isn't building anything. The kits that are being built are being built by Carl Hickey. Whatta ya think of that? I just found this out this week. As to the aspiring webmaster contributors, would you go to work everyday happily for 8 months while you are paid nothing? No matter. Within 5 minutes of this posting, Jack is going to NEED one of you to build a new website for him, as I'm about to cut up the CD with the only existing copy left, and leave Jack in my rearview mirror. So, Peter_OZ, now he's got the power, but he's really got pretty much nothing left of what drove his business. Goodonya.
Pretty websites are a dime a dozen, anybody can do that. Let's see how quickly the lucky candidate will be able to bring the search engine rankings for his new site to the top 2 percent in the world without any of the domain names now in use.. THAT, my friends, is the hard part. Heck, my granny can build a nice looking website. Oh, and just so you know, Jack's website requires about 6 to 10 hours a week maintenance because he and his wife Danny are always adding some building project or changing something around (And kiss a good number of your Saturdays and Sundays goodbye!).
But let me ask you this. Jack has SHOWN he's no more scrupulous than Carl was, he's even got Carl back working for the company without telling folks about it, because he knows what the fallout will be when that bit of news becomes public knowledge. But, my friends, it is the TRUTH. So, why would you be so anxious to build a website for him when getting paid in any agreed-upon fashion is not exactly a likelihood? Well, he IS a smoother talker than Carl ever was.
But he still ripped me off for eight months straight, and that's a plain fact.
The good news is, Snyder man is SUDDENLY getting his kit that he was never going to get (read his recent post above), because Jack is now desperate to show everybody what a good guy he is. IF my pulling the plug on the site achieved this one good thing, I'm happy that Jack was forced to give something to somebody, whomever it might be. I suspect that now he's going to be forced to give a lot more to keep things going.
You can cheer him on, you can tear him down, you can do any of the same to me. Nobody won here.
