All you folks from the Badlands. I wish GT stuck together like that.

In case you're wondering what a sock puppet account is, that would be it.
And it was only "cleared up" because you got caught.

So.... posting accusations of me spoofing shilling sock puppeting or whichever you said of me on my business thread is ok because you’ve nothing to gain from that? Because you feel you need to start over and somehow it’s my fault???
If it were simply a recast issue, I would ask you to tell me your brother didn't contact my wife before you went into business. Tell me that your friend didn't buy a set of our gaskets. Tell me that your friend didn't set you up with a secret account profile here on the FISD to start selling gaskets. Why would I assume that you were innocent in this after that?? I remember you telling me at the time that you had no idea your brother did that for you. I also remember my wife calling you out on facebook over it when you announced that your brother came up with the concept. Now your brother and garrison friend both are on staff. What a coincidence.
-
Nevertheless, I believe that this will be the "final straw" to remove me from the FISD.
Who else in the history of the FISD has been kicked out for first-time threadjacking ??

Uh you have 4 pinned sales threads?? One was started in 2007. Another one is pauldrons. And the Imperial Gaskets thread was started by you "TK4205" in 2015. The Force Awakens came out in 2015. So there were no gaskets before that...
I built gaskets for Anaheim before the movie was released. I also started my thread at that time.
All my Anaheim stuff is gone. We had two threads; Rhonda's cloth gasket thread and my Imperial Gaskets thread.

Wyatt your Sale thread is pinned at the bottom! It isn't hidden from ANYONE! Yes is it archived? You bet. That is our automated system that archives sales threads after no activity for 90 days. As you can see, Rhonda is the last one to respond to your thread on December 15, 2017. So nothing has been deleted.
That is my wife's thread. I started a new one because my original one is hidden. Now it looks like I just started to sell gaskets.
Who has anything to gain from that?

I would just like to make it clear that Wyatt and Rhonda made the recast concerns to Paul. Paul brought it to the staff. That is why we are here. So yes Wyatt. The recast claims were made.
I made that recast claim 4 years ago when it came to my attention that Teresa's brother had contacted my wife regarding his "sensitive skin" and wanted to know about our materials. A sock puppet account was created for Theresa and Aaron and Peter started shilling for her. Theresa swore to me that she didn't know anything about it so I let go of the question of recast.
My sale thread has been HIDDEN, not just archived and locked. So far admin hasn't told me WHO hid my sale thread.
-
I'm not accusing of anyone of recasting: I am accusing people of playing unfair; shilling, spoofing and sock-puppeting.
I also am complaining about my original gasket thread disappearing. Not just archived, but hidden. You can find it through a quote I made in a thread, but you can't find it with a search.
I asked admin that my archived threads for my open and active sales be pulled out of archive but they would not do that. They are able to do so but they wont.
is thanks I get after ten years of service
Aaron and Peter, you know who you are. I have all the old correspondence to show what you pulled on a fellow member. I let it go, but I didn't forget. Do you really want to blow this up or do you want to just sit down, shut up and play fair?

Wyatt - It is at this point that I am going to ask you cease and desist with what you are implying.
Your sales thread is a pinned thread in the Imperial Commissary / PX, and has gone no where - No one has removed it -
If you wish to discuss this further, then please feel to contact myself or the other Provost Marshals.
Implying??
I posted pictures and just demonstrated how to spoof the forum, using her examples.
-
I just made some spoof posts in my thread using your business name Geeky Pink.
Now do a search for "Geeky Pink"
-
Let me show you how it works. Please give me a second...
-
I did a search for Imperial Gaskets but this is what pops up. I can no longer find my original gasket thread.
When you use "Imperial Gaskets" in your posts, you are spoofing our business name and stealing our exposure.
Please stop spoofing on the forum. We all have the right to sell here.
-
Thank you Joseph!
Not seeing the private forum is a pain. I guess that leaves me with ebay.

A long long time ago I had a FX and sold it to a guy. I told him the story and status of FX but he didn't seem to mind. It got him in the club. I'm sure he has upgraded by now.
Nowadays I would display it on a mannequin along with my other kits. The FX has a rich history and plays an important role in the legion . I remember when most legion TK's were FX.

Hey guys, am I still on the "Vetted Sellers" list?

Author Larry Correia wrote a hilarious blog post about it, because he too is apparently now a Russian Troll. (He wrote the Monster Hunters International series and multiple other fantasy novels; highly recommend MHI- hilarious and fun reads!) I lost it at the picture of himself "thirty seconds after [he] read that nonsense."

LOL!
That was good funny, comrade!

If you’ve been on the Internet this week, you’ve probably seen some variation on the following headline: “ ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ was targeted by Russian trolls, study says.” If you wanted to be more inflammatory, you might have misleadingly headlined it thusly: “A study says about half of ‘The Last Jedi’ haters online were actually Russian trolls.” Either way, the point was simple: The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming — for your Star Wars movies.Surprisingly, all of this sensationalism was, in fact, nonsense. As my colleague Alex Griswold noted, the study found a minuscule number of tweets that might have been authored by Russians, their bearlike natures determined by factors such as handles with numbers in them and the time of day tweets were sent. But don’t take Griswold’s word for it: The author of the study himself, perhaps taken by surprise, himself played down the results.
“I really tried to be very careful in how I framed this. There’s no evidence Russians did anything unusual or meaningful,” Morten Bay, now a researcher affiliated with Center for the Digital Future at the University of Southern Californiaa, told The Post’s Steven Zeitchik.
More interesting than the study itself is the way people desperate to explain why “The Last Jedi” underperformed box-office expectations by as much as $200 million seized on and magnified the findings. “The Last Jedi” has become a flashpoint in the culture war, so there has to be a reason it initially dropped out of the bestselling Blu-ray charts after just 13 weeks, as opposed to “The Force Awakens,” which took 26 weeks to initially drop out of the top 20.* There’s no way that lingering disappointment over “The Last Jedi” could have contributed to “Solo’s” disastrous box office. Surely there’s a reason, aside from mediocrity, that “Last Jedi” toy sales were in the tank, “unexpectedly” underperforming the year before.
Nope: It’s the Russians.
The Russians, of course, are the villains of the moment. The Russians, naturally, are to blame for Donald Trump winning the presidency. It certainly couldn’t have been the fact that the opposition party nominated the second-least-popular candidate of all time to go up against him, the least-popular candidate of all time. It certainly couldn’t have been the bad campaign strategy or the lack of a real message or anything like that. Much more important were the efforts of a bunch of anonymous people tweeting away in some Siberian warehouse for eight hours at a whack.
I understand the appeal of the Russian Theory — I even think that there’s a kernel of merit to it, at least with regard to the hacking and leaking of John Podesta’s emails and the role that this played in shaping media narratives — given the horrendous state of our public discourse. But as Zeynep Tufekci noted in the New York Times, Russian meddling via social media is a symptom of what ails us, not the cause. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to look at the ways in which Twitter can distract us with triviality and Facebook can confuse us with viral lies and decide it’s worth spending a few bucks there to destabilize the world’s greatest nation. But I feel pretty confident in my belief that the number of votes changed by tweets from people with no avi, eight numbers in their handle and roughly 12 followers was, approximately, zero.
More troubling than the Russian Theory itself is the spread of the Russian Theory to explain away something as trivial as criticism of cultural objects. It couldn’t be that “The Last Jedi” alienated some longtime fans because director Rian Johnson wanted to “subvert expectations.” It couldn’t be that some audience members did not care for the sub-prequel CGI casino planet horse escape or the fact that the central conflict revolved around a low-speed chase in outer space or that it managed to do the one thing a Star Wars movie can never, ever do: bore audiences.
Nope: It’s the Russians.
The enlistment of Star Wars into our never-ending culture war is bad enough. But the need to create a scapegoat — to suggest that all criticism is leveled in bad faith or manipulated by malicious forces; to elevate every disagreement into an international incident; to bend to social media’s insistence that every little fight is the most important thing, ever, at least for the next five minutes, and those opposed to us are wicked — is deeply disturbing. Because it suggests that we are rapidly becoming unwilling to even listen to anyone who disagrees with us about something as trivial as a movie.
*A note on methodology: I’m using “weeks in the top 20” as a measure of audience enthusiasm instead of total units sold because of the rapidly evolving home video marketplace. I’m also only using consecutive weeks in the top 20 after initial release because “The Force Awakens” reentered the top 20 after a few weeks out of it, thanks to a Christmas season bump. All told, “The Force Awakens” has appeared in the top 20 Blu-ray charts 41 times. “The Last Jedi” has a total of 14 appearances, a number that a.) will likely increase once Christmas season starts, and b.) was likely depressed somewhat by the film’s early appearance on Netflix (though it took “Rogue One,” which had a similar Netflix release, 16 weeks to initially drop out of the top 20).

There is lots more reference now than when I started; Then we had VCR and movie stills.
The Original Trilogy Visual Dictionary has long been one of our greatest resources. You can still get them on Amazon.

I was unaware of the differences when I started too. I found out after purchasing my first armor, which was FX and different from all three originals.
...Most kits for sale are based on the ANH stunt trooper.
