Hi, sent you a pm ;) :wave:

I sent you a PM about your set.

thanks

Hi, okay. :wave:
The response has been overwhelming to say the least, and it's great, cause the set is real fun to watch! :)

Let me clarify this set, once and for all...Long story short, there was a mishap in the family household, :( where one disc was accidentally broken, containing seven (7) episodes, including the Reunion Movie. :mad: :eek: Not Not to worry, the rest are fine. ;)

I am in the process of trying to get the replacement Disc with the missing eps and movie, so hopefully that will be taken care of in a few weeks, hopefully, since it's overseas, and playing email tag, etc..Will I get it soon? Hopefully, yes, if not, don't shoot the messenger, as am trying all avenues, and will keep trying, and when and/or if I get it, all will be forwarded the disc, and included with the set..

For those still interested in this rare, fun set, "Best of Chips" contact me either via a PM or simply email me, I'll respond to all..., again, thanks and apoloiges for the mishap, hopefully it will soon be whole again. Cheers! :wave:

[Beavis]

Good News! & More Updates! :wave:

I was able to secure confirmation that the disc with the missing episodes and the Reunion Movie, are already enroute to me from Brighton, and should arrive to me by this coming Friday/Saturday, give or take… For those who’ve been in contact with me already for CHIPS Complete, Yes, as soon as I receive the last remaining disc with the episodes and movie, rest assured it will be immediately forwarded to all of you. I will again, post when it does arrive, so there will be no miscommunication of any kind. ;)

*** UPDATES
Of Note - Please be advised that, there will be two (2) missing episodes from the set. So, of the original 139 Episodes of CHIPS in the series, there will now be 137 Episodes of 139 CHIPS Eps available. :)

Episodes: 306 - Counterfeit
Original Airdate: 20-Oct-1979
Brief Plot: A bogus clergyman prints counterfeit money that circulates to Ponch

223 - The Greatest Adventures of CHiPs
Original Airdate: 12-May-1979
Brief Plot: While Ponch and Jon are off in Sacramento attending a seminar, Grossman starts to collect anecdotes about the team from other officers so that - win or lose - they can give them a party, half testimonial and half toast.
Notes: This two-hour episode was essentially a bunch of highlights from the first two seasons.

The reason I have now learned through several emails and contacts from the U.K., confirmed the following:

COUNTERFEIT
THE GREATEST ADVENTURES OF CHIPS

Both of these 2 titles above were never released on tv in the U.K. on BRAVO, due to tv rights, and other legalities, i.e. they never secured the rights, and were never aired, period. So, no one in the U.K., has ever seen these episodes to begin with. When they aired several years ago, these two episodes at the time, were skipped. That is why there are only 137 Episodes available in the entire set. Still it is the most extensive set available and around. No one has these two (2) episodes, in the U.K., as they never aired. If anyone wants to tackle and research the two (2) missing episodes, be my guest, but good luck, since you probably won’t have any luck until the series is ever or eventually released commercially. But if you do, give me a holler, and hook me up. So what you get, is what I got, and what is only available ;-) ;)

In Summary: What is available to all CHIPS fans is this:
CHIPS - COMPLETE, All Seasons S1-S6, 137 Aired Episodes, of 139 Total, PAL Format, 19 DVDs, Full Menues, Chronological Broadcast Order, Commercial Free, Quality 9/10 ;)
I will again, post here when I actually secure the remaining episodes and reunion movie in my hands, to let everyone know of its arrival., and that everything is in good, working order, with no surprises. I just wanted to assure everyone that I was and am, on top of this, and not have to email everyone one, but make one, general announcement, for all to read.

Thanks again, for all your emails and inquiries, and everyone, everyone, will be followed through…And to those whome I've been in contact with, things are wrapping up splendidly, so this week, will be the "magic" week for CHIPS! :lol: ;) Just check your mail boxes shortly! :lol: Lastly, any one wanting more information, or interested in CHIPS, simply send me an Email or PM, I will respond to all. Cheers to all! :wave:

[ninjastriker]

don't know who your source is in the uk, but you are actually wrong about the episode counterfeit not airing, as it have aired.

counterfeit aired on the 27th & 28th march 2006, it just didn't air in the order as it was done by the chips site.

The Greatest Adventures of CHiPs i can not 100% confirm as digiguide havn't got the past update for that, if i check 2 weeks before i can confirm that or not.

Not to hijack your thread, but for anyone else who is interested in a better set i am actually just starting to do a direct to dvd set. I miss recording the first 3 seasons due to other projects.

But I have started to record it from season 4 and will have both season 4+5 done in 2 months time. It will even be 2 or 3 episodes per a dvd, all episodes a perfect 9.5/10 taking from Sky+.

depending if bravo will repeat season 1-3, i should have the set done by october. For those interested this is just to let you guys know i am working on a set if you don't get trades from beavis or you want the best quality set possible.

Beavis i mean no dis respect but if your set is on 19 dvd's, 7 episodes a dvd , its a 45 min show and its 139 episodes. how on earth can it be 9/10 quality?

[Beavis]

Hi, Curtis, thank you for your comments and postings, and I welcome them. First, let me explain to you so you fully understand.... :)

This set was acquired a few weeks ago, and it was what was available to me and was offered to me from a very reliable and reputable source from the U.K., so I accepted it on word of my source. I took the gamble, and it paid off and was very very pleasantly surprised. I am very happy with it. That is all that matters. The quality, is as stated, 9/10, with a few, if any, 8.5/10, but overall 9/10, easily. Now, each person has their own views on quality, that is fine, and understand that. No problem. If they see it is 8.5/10, to each his own...I stand by what was given to me.

If you do have, or found the episodes Counterfiet, and The Adventures of Chips, I congratulate you on your acquiring these or getting the correct information on these two episodes. I am not here to argue with you, nor to correct you. If you have these two episodes, or have found them, or are getting them, that is fabulous! By all means get the correct info out there, then they do exist afterall ...remember this set was done quite some time ago, before the air dates you posted here.....so go figure. Thank you for getting the correct information out there, since this was what was explained to me. I welcome your new found information ;) :wave:

If you do have or making a better set, again, that is wonderful, and I sincerely applaud all your efforts and work and effort into making the best chips set, soon to be available in 5-7 months for all to see...That is great! I'm sure it will be nice once you complete it. My set, THIS SET, is alreay complete, as stated, exlcuding the 2 missing episodes, complete and finished. And I would certainly be truthful to say, if the quality was crappy, or shaky, or a "7", or 7.5", etc, I would say so, ...so I have no need to exaggerate the quality issues for this fine set. I acquired the set as it was told to me, being a solid 9/10, when I received it, and that is how I am passig it around...I fully agreed with it, and was very happy with it... enough said...and was amazed and floored by it, and stand by it, 9/10. :wave:

The others who have already acquired this fine set from me, have also agreed and are enjoying thes set as we speak. So, I can assure anyone here, there are NO quality issues with this set, so, your comments that your set, or soon to be completed in two (2) months set, set is better by 9.5 over 9.0 is vague, ambigous and irrelevant to me, since you have not seen my set, and if yours is or will be better, fine. You could put 2-4 Eps per disc, and that is fine. I'm just happy to have received this already, and for me, and others who have already and continuing to enjoy them, have no problems, none with quality or # of episodes per disc.

Even if you had or made a set that was a perfect 10/10, quality again, more power to you, and that's fantastic! ;) If it is a 45-50 minute show, that is not my problem. That was the way the network aired them and were recorded from, and passed along...again, to get CHIPS in and of itself, is fine with me. All were recorded exactly the way it aired, and that's what we have. Further I did not record these episodes. I simply acquired them, and am now sharing them for all who want them. :wave:

I have no intention of going back and forth on this topic. None. I will only come back here when I get the disc with missing episodes to post here. My original post and descriptions and updates and comments, stand. Anyone wanting information, or further clarification, can contact me directly via Email or PM... By all means if you want to advertise your soon to be completed in two (2) months set, wait for mine, mine's a 9.5/10, not the 9/10 set, set, mine is better than yours, etc, etc, good. I'm sure you will get some fine offers for it.

Conclusion, I am very thrilled and happy, to have after 3 decades, finally get to watch and enjoy this fine, rare show, that is never played here in the U.S. to have this is a treat in iteself. When I got it, I thought of nothing but to sharing it with all of you here. I get my first chance to acquire the set, which is very good, let alone, hard to find, and most of us here in the U.S., were happy to get any episodes of this great show, let alone, me finding a gold mine of 137 Eps of 139, to me, is a blessing and a great find. So I'm just here to share it with everyone and anyone here. Folks know me and my reputation here, so I have no reason do exaggerate or misinform anyone here on my lsitings or postings. If you find or have a better set, go for it! Mine is not the only set, and down the road, there will be many more better ones, then there will be in NTSC format, some with 2 Eps per disck, others with 4 Eps per disc, then eventually the Retails sets will be rady and out there, in Fall of 2007, to coincide with the 2007 Movie Release of CHIPS...so there will always be a differnt set of CHIPS out there, eventually, each claiming to "better than yours" set... I'm not saying mine is better or not, I have CHIPS, and it's available and complete, as I have it and acquired it. Pure and Simple. Done. Finito. I have a set, and it is avialble NOW, for all to see and enjoy...when yours comes out in 5-7 months, then you can share yours with others as well... And by all means, when your set is all complete, and you offer the two (2) missing episodes that I do not have, that is fantastic, Curtis! I wish you good luck with your hard work and efforts in making the best chips set available...

This matter is now concluded for me, and again, I will address any further information, trades, via PM or email, and not clutter this forum with my set is better than your set stuff, and I have this and you don't have that stuff.... :lol:

Cheers everyone! :wave:

Beavis i mean no dis respect but if your set is on 19 dvd's, 7 episodes a dvd , its a 45 min show and its 139 episodes. how on earth can it be 9/10 quality?

[ninjastriker]

To clear a few things up as you did not read my thread right. first off i said season 4&5 will be done in 2 months. the complete set itself will be done in october (8 months).

thats if they re air season 1-3 and the episode the adventures of chips. which i can't confirm if that aired or not. i did not make a post to say mine is better then yours.

it was a simple post to offer the set if they couldn't get the set from you or wanted a direct to dvd set. the offer is their if people was interested. if not then thats fine. just a general post and thats it.

after that i ask a question about your set, yet you haven't answered it. no i havn't got the set which is why i am asking. any trader around here will ask, but some might be afraid to.

i am very direct and if i see something wrong i will confront the trader about it. personally i see the rating for the set is wrong, unless the set creator is a major whizz and can do magic.

what don't make sense is the fact its 7 episodes per a dvd which for that show is 5 hours 15 minutes is rated as a 9/10 set.

It is a simple question in regards to the set, you said if you have any questions then ask. so i am asking the question, but all you gave me is a debate about it and no answers

whats the source is it vhs, vcd, downloads, capture card, done with a dvd recorder if so what mode e.t.c. provie screenshots of the menu, the quality of the set both as unalterted bmp.

personally i just like to see a bit of prove the rating is correct or near correct. true everybody rates their sets different, but it was a simple question yet you debated it.

i am not questioning your reptuation and i mean no offence. i am simply asking more about the set itself, which any trader would do. most probably i will trade for the set just to see what it is like as i do with many sets.

but i always ask more questions in regards to the quality before i do get the set, and thats what i am asking. if the set is truly a 9/10 set then at least provide that info for me so i can see for myself.

you have repeatly said its 9/10, praiseing the set and everything. but you provided no more info then that, normally i beileve some traders ratings for some sets i have got.

but its the set you have got, that raise alot of questions which i am some other traders here are also wondering. all i am asking is for you to provide more info about the set.

maybe some of the members who got the set from you ask the same questions, maybe not. so why not answer them instead of being annoyned at me for asking a very simple question.

i just see a flaw in the set, and just like to see proove it is the quality you say it is or near it. if overall its a 8/10 or 8.5/10 perhaps i will believe that, but overall a 9/10 i do not believe.

again i meant no offence and its not a hijack that my set would be better then yours thread. that was a general info for anyone interested, if they are happy with your set then thats fine.

i was providing the info for anyone who might be interested and to give those who enjoy the show and can't trade with you a 2nd chance at another set.

that was that, after that i ask a question about the set you got to see if its truly the quality you say it is and if its worth trading for it.

[T-Greg]

what don't make sense is the fact its 7 episodes per a dvd which for that show is 5 hours 15 minutes is rated as a 9/10 set.


I've watched episodes of other shows recorded from a digital source with many hours on the disc and they look fantastic.

[padre]

I've built and have seen dvds with as much as 3 hours of digital video source (cable or satellite), but never 5+ hours and rating it 9/10.

[y2k3Joker]

Curtis

you did step out of line when you jumped in his thread announcing you would have a better set in six months from now.

THIS IS WAY WAY WAY !! OUT OF LINE.


Beavis might be a nice guy and won't come out and say it but what you just did is wrong.


Also, who's too say your ranking of an 8 or 8.5 or 9 is better than his? The numbers are subjective.

Forget the number of hours on a dvd (but 7 shows at 45 minutes is 3 hrs and 45 mins with commercials removed)
like T-Greg said,
a show can still look very good if it's a direct capture off digital feed onto disc.


Joker

[loren]

Curtis

you did step out of line when you jumped in his thread announcing you would have a better set in six months from now.

THIS IS WAY WAY WAY !! OUT OF LINE.


Joker


absolutely correct

the very day you get your set ready

many people will droll over a copy of it

correct his detail about the two eps, yes by all means


advertise yours that may or may not come up for months, sorry thats just not cool

never promise what you dont have for sure

i have had numerous shows crap out a couple eps short, and then what

i dont know the beavis

i have a group on the way from the beavis dude

its my first contact

honestly, i would be happy if it turned out to be a solid 8 of 10

but there can be no estimate , without seeing it

i run a 60 inch philips high def set in my living room

it takes a lot of good info to display a quality picture

i have several sets that are at 4 hour speed that i call a 9 of 10

and im a tough grader, there have been many references to that her

5 hours and 15 minutes is a bit more, and yes it seems a stretch

ill reserve comment until i see it

the hawaii 5-0 29 disc set is over 7 hours on a disc, and thats in the 8.5 average on quality

[ninjastriker]

As i said before i was letting people know i am working on a set, that is not out of line. its an offer for those who don't get a chance to trade for beavis set.

how is letting people know that their is another set being worked on being out of line. i even said "not to hijack his thread", i made a small post and thats it.

i am giving those traders a 2nd chance in getting the set if they can't get it from anybody else.

trading is not a competion so why limit this show or any other show to 1 set. i could stay hush about it and just not make the set itself, perhaps make the set and keep it for myself.

i could of made a new topic about the set, but again i will be attack like you guys are doing now if i made the post and the fact i don't make posts like that on any forum as its a work in progress.

i was letting people know that i was working on a set if they was interested in a higher quality set. maybe that is out of line for you, but it was an offer for those who was interested.

some trader might not get the set because of the quality, beavis might not see anything of interest from their list whatever the reason may be. i was just sharing a bit of info for those who wants a 2nd chance and then i ask about the set he has got.

it was a general gesture to let people know a new set was in the works. i never falsy advertise any sets i make or make posts about sets i make unless i am 100% sure.

but the thread has nothing to do that, and it was not meant to hijack the thread itself. i never made it to be like that, its you guys who are trying to make it out i did.

it was an offer for anyone interested, if not then thats fine. but the main of the thread itself was about the 19 dvd set, that is what i am discussing that is the info i am trying to find out.

mine was a bit extra info for those interested, nothing less and nothing more. if you want to make me out as the bad guy then go ahead, personally i don't care if you beat me up about wanting to help my fellow traders.

i personally don't like this show, but i am making a set as another trader wanted a set made. i use the sources i have and make a set, i have sky+ and is able to make direct to dvd sets.

so why can't i abuse that postive and makes sets for other traders who may not see a higher quality set ofthe show again or see a retail set for it in a long time.

we get alot of shows here in the UK and i offer other traders that chance to obtain a better set if i can record it for them. I make a 2 paragraph sentence in regards to that and point out a mistake about a episode airing and then ask what i wanted to ask about the set.

yet i seem to be out of line for giving people a 2nd chance, a chance to help them watch a show they love.

Its a 2nd opptunity for those interested, if they were interested they could e-mail or pm me and ask or check my site or i could update in a couple months time if they decide to air season 1-3.

which i did say they may not air it again, if you guys read my thread before jumping on me.

that is what the thread was about, nothing more nothing less.

1- correct info about the episode airing
2- offer a 2nd chance to those interested
3- quence my curioisty about the quality of this 19 dvd set, as to me it does not sound like a 9/10 set.

[T-Greg]

Ninjastriker. I think the appropriate thing to do is wait until you have the set, then post a message about it. You know what they say about counting chickens? For instance, your recorder may break, your satellite dish may act up, the network may not air a certain episode, etc. These are things you have no control over. Besides that, assuming you do get every show, who is going to remember 2 or 3 months from now to get certain seasons, or 8 months from now to get the whole set? See my point?

[y2k3Joker]

i personally don't like this show, but i am making a set as another trader wanted a set made. i use the sources i have and make a set, i have sky+ and is able to make direct to dvd sets.

so why can't i abuse that postive and makes sets for other traders who may not see a higher quality set ofthe show again or see a retail set for it in a long time.



Let's not beat around the bush here --- DO YOU REALY WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH? Are you man enough to take it or are you going to make a 2 page reply like you did on CPS threatening to go away FOR GOOD if tekken wouldn't ship you a replacement ??

Who in their right mind would spend hundreds of man hours recording, editing, and authoring a DVD series that's 137 episodes long - and "PERSONALLY DON"T EVEN LIKE THE SHOW" ???

You are doing it out of the kindness of your heart? - for your fellow collectors??
PLEEEEEEZ !

or is it because you have nothing else on the table right now?? Why don't you reprint what you wrote over on CPS

Bottom line i$ - YOUR bottom line.


Face it, you've been trumped like all of us have been at some time -

$omebody just beat you to the punch.

That's not to say that your set won't be a nice one but if this other set turns out to be anything close to a 9/10 it sure knocks the oomph! out of what you produce 6 months from now


and them'z the facts ma'am !

[Lamont]

to post about a set that you "Will have ready in a few months" b/c a lot of variables could come in to play to keep that from happening

im not talking to this trader specifically as i do not know him

but i have many many things i "will" have, but i dont post about them til i got them in hand and checked out first

[mr_smart]

beavis are these only pal format? just wondering if they will work with my dvd player in North America?

thanks

[loren]

beavis are these only pal format? just wondering if they will work with my dvd player in North America?

thanks

if you were to post the machine brand and model, im sure its an easy chore to see if they will run pal format

my philips 642 units will for sure

[Beavis]

:lol: :) :wave:

Look at this reaction, just for CHIPS? This is too much! :p :lol: Some of your posts here were quite entertaining, and it made for interesting reading here... ;)

Without getting into any arguments, abot ratings, etc...the easiest way I can describe the set, once and for all, quality wise is s follows...like Joker stated, and I thank Joker for his input, as well as others here...the numbering rating quality ratings are subjective...to each their own...

So in laymans terms, this is how I would describe the CHIPS set,and how it is... ;) Cannon is Very Good, Barnaby Jones is Very Good, CHIPS is Very Good. That's the easiest comparison I can say...

Legend:

Awful/Bad
Poor
Fair
Good
Very Good
Excellent/Retail DVD
*****
The CHIPS set I have and offer is easily, repeat easily "Very Good" and somehere in between "Excellent" There. No #'s or anything.. :wave:

Mr. Smart - Yes, these are PAL DVDs, they play well and fine on computers notebookbooks, region free dvd players, and most all portable dvd players. They cost like $79 now...great for travel... I always play DVDs on portable dvd players, before going to bed, or while traveling, airports, train travel, etc...or on my notebook laptop, etc..and PAL discs have no problems with them and play great! That's why I no longer ever pass up a trade for PAL discs, since I can watch them fine. I played it on two of my standard dvd players, both NTSC, but on one it didn't play, the other player, it did play fine...so maybe it was Region Free...that is why I beleive they are PAL.

Eventually someone will convet them to NTSC, but that is foreign to me and I have no computer knowledge for any of those conversions...but it will be very nice, whoever does transfer them....but as I say, most if not all Portable DVD players now a days, will play these PAL discs no problem, and they're very cheap at Wal Mart...

I did thought about hooking up the Portable DVD player with CHIPS disc inside...hook it up to my VCR, and record straight, but I didn't want to hassle with cables, but it can be done...A Portable DVD player hooked up to your standrad VCR, record to VHS, then you have a VHS in NTSC format right there, then to transfer back to a DVD disc in NTSC....just an extra step, but you may loose quality...just a thought... I hope this helps everyone, and lastly, the mailman a cometh soon! ;) ;) :)

thanks folks :wave:
for everything...you're all nice folks :)

[loren]

now im confused

why would a laptop, or a portable dvd player be able to play pal discs

would someone please explain this in common language


my toshiba laptop is new at xmas time

and it will not play a pal disc

i tried about 4 different ones

becasue i heard this story before

i asked the question on a tech site, and got the usual jibberish and jargon

[KonfusionFTC]

its probably the player your using

[KonfusionFTC]

maybe i should explain better. the windows player you are using.. if u need something let me know ill give it to you

[Beavis]

Hi Loren, all I can say is that it does not load up on my notebook until I tell it to play, via Windows Media Player. i.e, I insert a DVD, normally it starts up automatically.... when I insert a PAL disc, it does not. I then go to Windows Media and open it up from the drive, and then it plays fine...that's how it is for me anyways, and play all PAL discs....on other laptops I've tried, the same thing, it does the same thing...

the portable dvd players are 99.9% sure thing, to play PAL discs... can't explain the laptop function, other than, I did have to get it to play, and luckily it worked... I do have to manually start it up via media player....then it's fine.

[loren]

maybe i should explain better. the windows player you are using.. if u need something let me know ill give it to you

i have one of those toshiba laptops that dont play discs through the computer, the computer and hard drive arent even on when i play a movie, etc, to save the battery

maybe thats the difference

and them'z the facts ma'am !

1st off i don't see how my situation with tekken has anything to do with this forum, what happens on CPS between me and another trader has nothing to do with this.

2nd since you have never traded with me and don't know me how can you judge me on what i am like. I have recorded quite a few shows i had no interested in, or found toatally boring.

perfect example is SK8, i hate sports period and the shows and this show made me so sleepy i couldn't stand watching it. but i recorded the show as it was airing here in the UK and another trader wanted it.

its called helping out my fellow traders, that is what i do. i don't mind recording shows i have no interest in. as i am helping my fellow traders by creating a high quality set which they can enjoy.

some traders have thank me for recording the shows and giving them the opptunity to watch it again. i am upfront if i don't like a show or have no interest in it.

sometimes creating sets i have no interest in helps me to get sets i like, its general karma. i do some good in helping people, the universe will pay me back with the same kindness in getting me a set i like or helping me with my personal life.

i have helped people all through out my life and recieve nothing back, yet i still do it. because that is who i am, i like to help and its gives me a personal satisfactian that i am helping someone.

This is how i have obtained quite a few rare sets, that has been impossbile to find.

But the fact is i didn't watch the show itself, as i do 2 other things while its recording. i don't have to watch the show itself, if i concetrate on doing something else.

Bottom line is yes i do record shows i don't like or have no interest in if someone ask me about it and i can record it. I have helped alot of people in my personal life and in trading as that is who i am.

I like to help other people and it makes me feel good that i am helping someone, i do not mind doing it if it helps to get a better set out and they are happy with it.

some shows only airs once and don't air again, i grab that opptunity and record it just in case. shows like diabolik, BAD, automan, manimal, sk8, all those i have never seen or had a interest in.

But they aired here in the UK and i took the opptunity to record them, as someone out their may want the show. which in turn could help me get a set i love watching.

i actually ended up liking those shows, apart from SK8 which i can not stand. but in turn because i recorded those shows i got some great sets and a few shows i have been struglinhg to get for a few years.

I may not personlly like the chips show, but thats cause i never seen it. i may even end up likeing the show itself while recording it. i am always willing to try something new and the fact its a show from the 80s is a bonus.

but i tend not to judge the show unless i have seen it, i don't the show as i have not seen it. so creating this set may make me a fan in the process.

as i tend to like alot of shows from the 80s, as i am 80s kid and grew up liking the style of shows done in that era. i could end up liking it , who knows.

believe what you like, but to me and anyone who knows me. wil actually know i have always been willing to help record any show if i am capable to do it. The i have no other projects on statement is so false.

i record at least 20 shows a month, i always have projects on that i am recording (if you read CPS you will know that). currently i am recording 25 shows, which sky+ helps me to do that as i can record 40-50 hours a week worth of shows.

i also have another 15 projects i have yet to author to dvd, so in fact i have 40 projects currently working on and i am always doing more each month. thats is just the tip of the iceberg, as i have another 50+ i plan to do this year.

I always have projects on, the chips is just another project to do. as someone ask for it, i made a post on cps about that fact. i ask other traders what shows they wanted me to record if it re aired here.

many posts was made, and at the moment i have recorded 6 shows that have other memebers have ask about me recording. i don't mind doing it, if it helps getting a better set out.

many traders who knows me, knows i can not stand vcd dumps, downloads and transformerscds sets. i hate these sets and seek high quality, which is another reason why i do it.

I want to see high quality sets out their for others to enjoy and i like to help my fellow traders.

So their is a set of this show out already, i don't care about that. their could be 20 sets out for it. it doesn't mean just because their is other sets out that i can not make another 1.

its great their is a set of this out, like with any other shows. i have seen many sets which was done years before i started my sets. their is no harm in creating another set.

which can be very helpfull as this set is missing 2 episodes, which if i can get and add to my set then i can help to complete this set.

I have seen alot of sets out of the same show, some i have owned myself untill it aired here in the UK again and i ended up recording it as it was an opptunity to get a better set done then what was out.

I never traded with you joker, so i do not know why you choose to attack me and judge me so quick when you don't know me.

True i have not dealt with beavis, and i have no problems with him. i mean no offence to him in general, all i was asking was about the set itself. he has sent a PM and i will discuss it their.

That was all the info i was after, and get attack from other traders just because i like to speak my mind and is not afraid to ask these questions.

[y2k3Joker]

I never traded with you joker, so i do not know why you choose to attack me and judge me so quick when you don't know me..


Have you, or have you not admiited in print on a message board that you were a scammer before you turned over a new leaf and decided to go straight.

Think back, before you answer. Remember I go back to the days of CPS1 and before.

You can not outrun your past.

[ninjastriker]

No i wasn't a sammer as in regards to trading, as i didn't start trading untill nov 2003.

The post i made back on cps 1 was in regards to my personal life, nothing to do with trading. also i only did it a couple of times and learned from it, i ran with a bad crowd back then.

i learn from my mistakes and don't see how something that happened over 10 years ago has to do with today. sorry joker but you are still judging me on something that barly happened.

i conned a couple of people back in my school days, when i ran with a bad crowd. most of us have done that sometime or another, but i learned what i was doing wasn't right and i was doing it for the wrong reasons.

i have never scammed anyone in trading itself, you have not known me through out my life and you judge me on 1 statement. you want to judge me on something like that just to make you feel big then continue to do so.

But the fact is i have no reason to hide from that fact, i am honest about who i am. i see no reason to hide something like that, if it means it helps someone then i don't care what type of damage it does to me.

i have also been their since cps 1, but i have nothing to hide about my past and heck if it makes you feel better to bring it up then thats cool.

if you want to bring me down over something i did a couple of times in my personal life and has abosuletly nothing to do with trading then go ahead and make more statements.

sorry but you still don't know me to make statements like that, that is out of line and uncalled for. You think i am a scammer, then go ahead and make as many more statements as you like.

it is just going to make you look worse then you are looking now, i have nothing to hide and see no reason to hide it. so i did something bad in my life, the fact i learned something about it and did something postive says alot more.

you don't know me, you have never traded with me. yet you make a statement to try and make me look bad. we all have done something bad in our lifes that we are not proud off, but it takes a bigger man (or girl) to admit it and do something about it.

It takes alot of guts to admit they did something wrong and to actually learn that they did something wrong in order to change and do something good.

All throughout my life i have helped people, yes i have got in trouble quite a few times in my life, but who hasn't. its a part of life and the facts of growing up, if you learn from it and do something about it then that is all that matters.

i did that, i learned from it and i admitted it on cps 1. i am not hiding from that fact, and i do not see how it has anything to do with his thread. its plain and simple you have not known me throughout my life, you never grow up with me to experiece what i have experience, you never traded with me and we have never spoken to each other.

yet you come on this thread speaking like you really know me and bring up something that has nothing to do with this.

[loren]

ninja--

i think you have glossed over and completely missed the original idea here

the problem is,

you conducted yourself in a poor manner, when you hijacked the beavis post about his offering

if you dont think what you did is wrong, thats not the issue

others do take great exception to what you attempted to do

start your own post, and outline your plans for the future

thats completely proper

but telling people his set is suspect in quality, and your going to make a much better one, in the future is just not correct behavior

and you seem to not understand, or want to


there have been numerous new sets that have been made by people on this group

upgrades of the popular versions

its what we try to do

but you dont see someone offer a new set,and others jump all over the post and a--question the persons quality, or b-try and steal away his action with boasts of what may happen at some future point

thats incorrect behavior , at least, and probably much more

and now you wonder why someone takes you to the woodshed

and as far as what happens on another board, if there are some truths that need to be told, theres no privavcy rule

poor behavior on any stage is an open subject here

just think many people are interested in the story now

[y2k3Joker]

I am talking about trading not your personal life - so save the sob story for Oprah


Before we created these online personas, we all traded / bought under other names before we stuck to the one that most people know us by today.
I wasn't always "the joker" you know..... and when I was starting out and learning the ins and outs, I got burnt also trading. It was insignificant small things here and there, so no need to make a big deal out of it.... but I file it away as a learning experince and never to deal with that person again (hence, why we never hooked up). The information I gather could be useful some day down the road (that day arrived yesterday when you PUSHED a little harder than you should have)

All I said in this thread was, that you were out of line stepping in another poster's thread to announce you would have the same set.

You took it personally as an attack? It was only advice on some proper etiquette for posting. Nothing more. You chose to make it a big production - Now, here we are.

I also have a healthy dislike for phoneys and if I've been wronged by one in the past, I will take my shot at them when the opportunity presents itself.


You want to type 3 page essays, be my guest.

Just remember you can't outrun your past.

[ninjastriker]

you make me laugh so much, that you are an idiot plain and simple. if you think your little info gathering is so useful then post it. i am curious to see what you have got then go ahead and post it if you want.

you judge me on something that has absoulty nothing to do with trading and you say oh i was talking about trading. yet i clearly admit it was about my personal life and have nothing to do with trading.

theirs no sob story, as it has abosulty nothing to do with trading itself, what i did happened 10 years ago, i did not start trading till 2 years ago. so you never traded with me because of that, personally i don't care if you do or not.

but if you never traded with me due to something that happened in my personal life then why mention it at all. what exactly are you trying to acomplish here?

sorry but you are uttley and total nuts in that area to think that someones personal life has anything to do with this matter. i have never scammed anyone in trading itself, so why bring up something that has nothing to do with trading.

it happened 10 years ago, get over it and stop acting like you are a big man on campus trying to uncover who i really am. i have only use 2 names in trading, curtis my real name when i started on CPS, and the name ninjastriker was just a name i registered under and when i end up on cps 3 that name stuck on their.

i use ninjastriker on all the forums i belong to, but on signatures i have my website address and my website titile. which you check has my real name curtis on it.

i use a e-mail address which has my first name and my surname on it. wow their must be a conspiracy here and joker is trying to uncover the truth.

i don't care if people call me by my first name on the forum, as it don't affect me, like it does with any other traders here.

i have no reason to lie, cheat or to scam anyone. so why should i fret about your so called witch hunt.

i make a little post in regards to my set and as the post itself says "not to hijack the thread" another words it's a apology if it look that way. sometimes i do not always be clear on my posts, but you do have to read my posts a few times for it to mak sense.

if you read the thread and saw that you would of known, yet you pounce on me directly over this. when i type quick i do not always make myself clear, beavis saw that, yet you guys do not.

i asked about the set in general, so i question the quality. i questioned the quality as it does not add up, a set like that for a 45 min show does not sound right.

if somehow this guy work magic and made it a 9/10 set, then i would like to see some prove in regards to that. i ask more about the set in general, no harm in doing that. if its true then i will shut up, but i as i mentioned i will be discussing that with beavis as quite frankly you are just taking this thread way off topic and too far.

the max i have ever seen a 45 min show on a set is 4 episodes, i have never seen or heard of a 45 min show having 7 episodes on 1 dvd. it just don't add up, even the rating is wrong itself or the set creator itself must of done some awasome work to make a set like that possibile.

i am sure someone like lordsmurf could say something about it, maybe clear it up. if someone came up to me and said ok it was done a certain way showed me prove then i will shut up.

i made a very last post in regards to that and was actually going to PM beavis about getting the set to see what has been done to it. but you and loren decide to make these posts and quite frankly i replyied because i do not like the tone that was used towards me.

it felt like a personal attack, and you continued to make it a personal attack. so i write alot, what is the big deal. i speak my mind and i write what i feel. no harm in that.

it wasn't a witch hunt or to make the set look bad. i just wanted to know more info about the set and how on earth that could be possible.

i was finding out a bit more info about the set in general, that was all i was doing. yet you decide to butt in and make these posts. i never made this in a 3 ring circus, you did that all on your own.

you can make whatever accusations you like about me if that is going to make your ego alot better, but the bottom line is i was asking about the quality of the set.

so i made a few paragraphs that i am working on a set, their is no harm in doing that if someone was looking for that type of info. i think 3 steps ahead then some other people. i just answered a question that someone down the line may ask.

you feel it was out of line to do that, then so be it it. but the way it was said is out ofline and continue to attack me is uncalled for.

a post like this would of surfice

"curtis, just a general bit of advice if you want to say you are working on a set, then make a new thread about it. i know you may not mean to hijack beavis thread, but it does sound that way"

not being harsh towards you or anything, just try not to hijack the thread about your sets. just a bit of consideration for the other trader"

something along those lines would of been better, and i would of made a post apoligizeing for doing it. that is a kind why of responding

the "THIS IS WAY WAY WAY !! OUT OF LINE. comment, that is uncalled for and sounds very nasty.

caps lock i hate caps lock, and it sounds aggresive and i read your post as a aggresive one.

one fact is i have never traded with you, so what info you filed away to say that you will not trade with me when you never even made an effort to get to know me.

Again i am not running from my past, what past am i running away from. Please go ahead and proove to everybody your so called info finding facts, proove to them i am a phoney.

lets see this info that makes you not wanting to trade with me, that makes you think i am a scammer. i am curious to see this so calle dinfo that make sme out like i am bad guy.

when again you don't know me, you never traded with me and you rely on something that has abosultly nothing to do with tradeing.

i am sure everybody else is curious as well to see this info, like i am as well. plase go ahead and ruining my reptuation if it makes you feel better. if you want to be the big man in this then show us the info.

Please Joker show us this info, show us i am truly a bad guy.

[y2k3Joker]

Ahhh, did I hit a nerve, ninja?...... GOOD !!

You better quit now before I make it a living hell for you.
And unlike tekken and everyone else you've squabbled with before, I DON'T BACK DOWN - I"LL BE UP IN YOUR FACE ALL YOU WANT.

You see this is not CPS,
LS will not come along with his magic wand and erase all your nasty posts and make everything nice for you and comfortable.

Learn to pick your fights more carefully next time

[Lamont]

ok a few notes from good old Lamont Sanford

1. Joker might have a big mouth (ha ha) and he might be a lot of things, BUT an idiot is NOT one of them, I have always found Joker to be extremely bright and aware of whats going on--- and by regressing to name calling like that, people only make themselves look less than bright

2. this whole thing has gotten out of control--- YES I too think that Ninja was wrong to post that he would have a "better" set in a few months---- it is ALWAYS a bad idea to downgrade a set Before u have even seen it, and it is ALWAYS a bad idea to announce a set that you "WILL HAVE" in the future. just a little lesson in trading manners, BUT what is silly about it, is that all you had to do was say "IM SORRY, I didnt mean to step on Beavis's toes" and move on, why go on and on about it, it was wrong and inappropriate, just move past it

3. quality is in the eye of the beholder, BUT I have seen some sets with 7 or 8 eps per disc that look pretty solid, like the Hawaii Five-0 29 disc set, its a solid 8.5 of 10, other times u will see 2 hours per disc and its crap, so ONCE I SEE Chips I will judge it then, NOT BEFORE--- maybe chips is good, maybe its not, but again, it was wrong to question the quality (and by doing so the integrity of Beavis for posting it)

I mean, come on people, some of you on the boards act and say things here that you would never do in real life,

do some of u need to go sit in TIME OUT, til u learn how to behave??

[ninjastriker]

i have a news flash for you joker, i don't back away from a fight, but this so called discussion is just stupid as all you are doing is making an idiot of yourself.

you seriously want to hit a nerve and make me out as bad guy then continue on acting like a big idiot like you are doing now. you have a heck of an ego and pass judgement on me yet i see no proof to back that up

what troubles i have with other traders is none of your buisinees, you have some dirty info on me. instead of acting like you have this big secret about me and just go ahead reveal it.

come one, show me your are a real man and you don't just talk the talk and shows us all what you are capable off. I don't back from a fight and i do not back from some idiot like you who has nothing better to do then try and ruin my reputitation with something that has abosultly nothing to with this post or trading.

i never pick a fight with you, you pick the fight with your posts that you have this dirty secret about me. sorry but i hate bullys and that is all you are a Big bully.

lamont i agree this out of control, but the fact joker is bent on ruin my reptuation so bad, then let him continue to do so. if joker wants to act like a big kid and think you are trying to uncover something then let him.

again lamont if someone said to me nicly like i indicated above, i would of aplogize. But all i have been getting is attacks on me, so how can i apoligize for something when all i am responding to is attacks.

this could of ended with a nice sentence itself, yet i feel i have to defend myself over jokers posts.

then instead of talking about it, reaveal your so called info that is going to put me in my place and make me look like i am scammer. please prove me wrong and post this info.

if you are going to say something at least back it up, if not then just shut up and leave it. i was only after some more info about a set and you turned this into a vendetta against me.

Quite frankly i am not to going to respond anymore, as this is just ridiculous and i see no reason to defend myself when i have nothing to hide.

You have no such info on me, if you did then you would of made a post with all the info. You have attacked me for the last time, i never did anything towards you to start this fight.

You started this fight with your insults, allegations and your sicko quest to try and ruin me. fine if what i have said or done on this post makes me no better, i accept that responsibilty, but i will not stand an aragonont idiot like you who have nothing better to do then to bully another trader over nothing.

I am ending this now and i am not bothering to reply anymore, i am fed with jokers sicko quest for whatever reason. i never dealt with him, yet he has a serious grudge against me.

I am apoligizing to everyone, for what good that may do. Sorry but i am not going to stand and be attack for a measly 2 pargraphs and asking more about a set.

I apoligize again to everybody over this. think what you like about me, but i do not think these attacks on me was fair. I never ask to be attacked or brought this on.

Sorry but this kind of agrussiveness towards me is uncalled for and unecessary. think what you like, but if you guys continue to gang up on another trader then you are no better then the one who started it.

I was speaking my mind as i did not believe the rating, so i ask more info about that. attack me for that & my 2 pargraphs is just not right. you ar eeach as bad as each other.

the only good thing about this thread is T-greg and padre was actually trying discuss it as i was. jokers post was out or line and aggresive, that is uncalled for.

THE END

[y2k3Joker]

i never dealt with him, yet he has a serious grudge against me.
THE END

You may have not dealt with me as "joker" but you have dealt with me.




I am ending this now and i am not bothering to reply anymore, THE END


Are you sure you're not coming back for SECONDS??


Don't let the door hit you on the way out. :wave:

[savageamusement]

OK this is where I step in and say "can't we settle down a little bit"


Sometimes threads can help resolve things, and sometimes they just tear a situation up -

Obviously most readers of said such threads won't know the truth compared to drama- but it doesn't seem anything is being worked out.

I won't go along and wave a magic wand, but I will say sometimes straight out accusations are better than allegations.

Just my opinion.

I hate for anyone to feel they need to defend themselves, especially of nothing clear cut is being said to defend-


But at the end of the day not sure this is solving anything for anyone
(shrug)

And this thread was originally about a set that was being offered - so it seems it has spun into an alltogether different issue that has nothing to do with that- and perhaps should be either resolved privately, or discussed in a thread that is condusive to that topic.


And of course, if there is something I can do privately- that might help resolve some angst- let me know.
I hate to see people fighting if it can be helped

[KonfusionFTC]

lol.. i love this section.... ahahahaahah...

this is the only problem i see as being messed up.. its one thing like ask how is it possible that the quality is that high on that many discs. its another when you basically are trying to steal his trades. by saying oh im making a better set. its as if your tellin people dont get it from him cause mine will be better. You Should make your own thread when you have it done. You dont walk around someone elses store throwing around your own flyers for future deals to sway them away from getting it there. Promote your stuff some where else then someone elses thread..
