A longish while ago I won a knife in the traditional forum. Months went by and I did not get the knife and the contest winner only responded to one of my emails. I have given up on it, not worth worrying about it but wondering if it has happened to others or what you would do about it. Because no money has passed hands no biggie but disappointed that the member did not live up to his word.
 
I wish that you had let Gus or me know about it. We don't take these things lightly in the forum and I can recall one other occasion when I (and others) had to get involved in reminding a member to keep his promise.

It's especially disconcerting when the individual garners good will for actions and generosity which in truth weren't exhibited or displayed. :( :barf:

Feel free to contact me and Gus via PM though I imagine it wouldn't be too hard for me to trace this based upon the info you've provided.
 
Please send one of us a P.M. and well will try to make this right.
 
Being a frequent Traditional Forum participant and lurker I am quite sad to hear about such things.

Who was it?

Absolutely ... That is not acceptable behavior anywhere. But being in Traditional
makes it even worse. I'm curious to know who it is also. I really hope its not a regular.
 
I can't imagine anyone exhibiting this kind of behavior, bar major tragedy (ie. death). :mad:
 
Sad to hear it was from the Traditional Forum. I love this forum as all the guys exhibit traditional old school character. Like "a mans word is his bond". I hope it was'nt due to a tragedy though.....

I suspect that is it. I just didn't want to link it because I'm not certain and this isn't my thread. I agree that the truth coming out benefits all.
 
I don't revel in anyone elses misfortunes but if you commit to sending a fellow knife-kunt a knife that he won on your give-a-way contest,, than by goodness gracious,, send the MAN his f'n knife--prize!... Right??? :eek: :confused:
 
The only way I can see this is thus:

"Pappy" (Tim) runs a small company.

He's the only one that checks emails/phone calls.

He's frequently out or traveling, thus the lack of communication.

So far, it seems like everything has worked out in the end, albeit after a substantial and unprofessional waiting period.

I hope this all works out for the best. I'd hate to see a good maker get trashed over something as simple as a lack of communication, however I would also hate to see people repeatably get ripped off in any way. Be it time, stress, knives or other goods, or straight money.
