  1. I am not trying to be an an impolite person here, but there have been issues with boot deliveries from you in the past, people who have waited well over a year to get something, if anything at all. Is all that cleared up and are you sure to be able to keep up with that? I'm just asking because I know Anovos will soon be selling the boots as well, which will be coming from the same factory as the ones in the movies were made from.. There's quite a few sources on gloves, they range from 10-15 bucks...Just need to remove some white leather from some fingers is all
  2. They said the fiberglass bucket would be in the 700-800 price range, which fits in which what I heard at the Anovos stand when I picked my helmet up. They said 740 USD when I was there. So let's say they go with the 800 USD, then still, if they sell the kit at 400, that would amount to 1200 USD.. We paid 1800 and were told at first it was 'at cost', and later heard they were losing money on it. All this while there were no boots, blaster or under suit available. This all does make me wonder about a lot of things to be honest. I can't wait to see finalized prices, but when building this thing, we were thinking a kit would be around 2500 USD or higher for a kit if they wanted to make money on it (if the info we were given was ok).
  3. If they would refund me 1400, you won't hear me complain either lol
  4. He was joking when he said 'most comfortable suit' he has been in, right? Coz I don't believe I have been in a more uncomfortable one lol Also... if the cost will indeed be 400 for a kit, there will be 75 extremely angry people out there...
  5. That doesn't sound like a good idea. I like it
  6. I'm not that impressed by the search either, but I always figured it's a board issue. Either way, it may help to simply use Google, and add "site:whitearmor.net" to your search query, that way it will display all the search results of this forum (as long as it is a public forum, of course.. it wont work for a search in the 501st-only part)
  7. lol will do, I just read it is going to take about two hours, so we should be back before 11 I guess, which is still early in HI time
  8. My wife made me make reservations a few days ago at Medieval Times at that discounted 501st rate, it's at 8:15 the same night :S Sure, it'll be fun for her and my daughter... and ok, I may like it, but dangit... I wanted to do this too :/ and lol on the admin rights xD
  9. Up to you Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
  10. After that instance it doesn't really matter for that one site on this server, considering I keep my own backups for them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
  11. That's what I was thinking, but it could be done more often too, if it's done only once a year Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
  12. Hehe, I know, but I didn't see the pictures on your page just yet, that's why I said I hope you guys do it soon. I don't want to post them before you did, or I may take away the novelty Edit: Sorry, I should have looked better. I did see the pictures of you guys dressing up, but never looked if there were pictures other than those Thanks so much
  13. lol those pics are hilarious edit: hope you guys post some of these pics up on FB soon, so I can share them on our outposts FB page
  14. Pictures like that just make me sad knowing Disney owns the franchise Honestly, I have no issues with them owning it... but this... idk.... meh :/
  15. Thanks, I guess they'll have to figure it out together in that case Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
  16. Wibowo, I just took the liberty to check on the logs in the memberDB, and it seems that your CO has indeed changed the status of your detachment affiliation: January 29, 2015 Arief Sundjaja Profile Update - Detachment :: First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment -> Retired January 28, 2015 Sapto Wibowo Profile Update - Detachment :: First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment -> Pending So, yes, like mentioned by others, please ask him the reason why. On a different note, Mathias, who is ideally in charge of the detachment affiliation status? Is that his GCO or can the FISD DL/XO overrule that? His record still shows his costume as active, and he is active on the forums... this is a bit why I am wondering, it seems like a silly mistake.. Your 501st Approved Costumes: Edit Primary Costume: Stormtrooper: ANH Stunt Costumes that you have: Stormtrooper: ANH Stunt (Please submit photos to your GWL) Retired Costumes: Pending Costumes: Your Unit Affiliation: Edit Garrison/Outpost Affiliation: Indonesia Outpost Squad Affiliation: None Detachment Affiliation(s): First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment (Retired)
  17. Considering there's quite a few detachments on this server, perhaps we should start a donation thing along with the other detachments
  18. I'it happened', coz you weren't able to post during the time Anyways, yeah, it did indeed occur again. I was online at the time and it was quite a scary thing to see this time around (it was different from normal as databases were accessible, but shown as completely empty). It happened on most (if not all) of the other detachments hosted in this server as well. It gave me quite the scare, because it kind of looked like a hack had occurred (in addition to the empty database, logs were gone, I was unable to find an online backup etc etc) even more when I noticed one site (not FISD, no worries lol) had been lacking making backups for a while. Anyways, we're back online, Eric was informed as soon as it happened.

    24 hours ago

    I quit in 2007 when I was still living in the Netherlands, with the only reason being that I was going to fly to Hawaii to meet the one I loved (she's now my wife, note the past tense.. just kidding with that haha!). Anyways, yeah, she was the only reason for me to stop. I needed a reason, and at the time that was as good of one as any, especially considering the flight time (about 24 hours total). So up until then I had smoked about 1.5-2 packages (about 35-40 smokes) a day. Needless to say, quitting wasn't easy. I saw my doctor before I actually stopped smoking, to get some advise and he prescribed me Zyban (Bupropion), which is an anti-depressant. I don't know if it helped at all, it unfortunately had some nasty side effects within the first days, and you start taking it a few weeks before you actually stop smoking. I got highly irritable and developed a rash. The doctor told me to stop with it, and I decided to continue cold turkey (and I'm happy I did, replacements for smoking can sometimes create a new addiction). The first week, maybe even weeks, I couldn't stop shaking my hands. I had serious withdrawal issues and felt like I was some druggie lol (funny enough, I visited my mother and grandmother the first day I quit, and my grandmother actually offered me a smoke, to help with the withdrawal that I was experiencing.. to think back to that is quite hilarious now, back then, not so much lol. All it takes to be back to square one, is one simple puff, thankfully I skipped the offer lol. What helped me a lot during the first weeks, I think, was the fact that I locked myself up (with my laptop) in my bedroom as much as possible. Only to come out to get food and drinks (I ate and drank in the bedroom, too), and to go to the bathroom and such. This may sound silly, but it was the only room I never smoked, and I noticed that whenever I came out of my bedroom, saw my couch, desk, or drove my car, that I felt a lot more need to smoke than when I was in my bedroom. So I automatically made the decision to stay in that room as much as possible, to help resist the urge to smoke. And I think that is about the best advice I could give anyone.. not necessarily to lock yourself up in the bedroom, but to do things for the time being, to be in places, that you get reminded of smoking the least. Nicotine is addictive to both body and mind, and this was for me the way to kick the mind part. After time went by, it became easier and easier to resist the smoking addiction. I don't know when it was that I truly felt to be done with smoking, but it had to be way before I went to Hawaii (I stopped in July of that year, and traveled halfway September). I think I'm safe to say that I quit smoking successfully for years now, even though I was a chain smoker for years. I have no problem being in any area that reminds me of smoking, or to be around smokers (or even to be downwind from them). I actually can say that I kind of like the smell of their cigarettes, even though I don't feel the urge to light one up myself. Anyways, good luck kicking this thing. Be strong! It takes time, but it will get easier every day.
