Honestly there's enough of us that interact with Aaron on a regular basis, either by text, facebook, here, ect. So unless his phone and computer, work and his fiance's things go, he's going to inform someone. And I'm sure he'd be able to prove it. I for one, trust Aaron. So that inb4 shit doesn't work.

And I'm sure you trusted Rev before the "shitstorm", I know I did. I bought a shirt before things went south.

And please don't think that I don't like Aaron, I respect him as a fellow AZ member and I LOVE his car

I am just trying to keep peace, cuz that's how I roll.

I know you said not to bring up "but he'll never do that to us."
as butt buddies, we text each other daily.

the other vendor vanished for 27 days. without a word.
didnt seem like he was coming back either.

an opportunity knocked.


aaron never did it while the other guy was selling tshirts.

Would this be OK to do?

Also inb4 "Aaron would never leave us hanging" statements.

Put in this thread so it wont clog up vendor threads.

Ok, carry on.

I can't say I trusted him, he was new to the forums and nobody knew him. When things like that pop up I wait a while to see how things go and if I decide to go through with it, then I order.

But I can say I trust Aaron because he's been on Azine for a while now, I speak to him on a regular basis and he has plenty of people to back that up.

This doesn't need to be brought here, get your ranting into the vendor's thread before they're closed and move on. He's making another thread so if you still trust Rev to produce shirts, by all means, order one.

Nobody is telling you to order from Aaron, it was just being said that way because Rev vanished and left people hanging, Aaron is still here to take orders and can be trusted to stay.

/that's my

Hey noob,

You missed the part where Rev was online the whole month he wasn't responding to anyone.

All the mods said that it was probably a glitch in the system because he was never "viewing threads" it said he was searching.

Honestly, ignoring all outside communication - if there was no sign that he was coming back, yes, its ok IMO.

But when a site vendor leaves for a month, comes back, posts a half assed explanation (his first explanation was just that, half assed), then goes into another vendors thread to poach sales, that really shows the character of that vendor.

I understand that shit happens, and if the guy really did have to deal with insurance on his shop, I feel bad for him.

But his communication skills were lacking before the storm even hit (which was ~ June 26th). There were members that sent payment at the beginning of June and had not yet received ANY updates. until July. I dont care that he was in the process of a move. If you run a company and have already taken money from your customers, you keep them in the loop throughout the entire process. Thats just poor business, and even less tactful to go into a competitors thread to say you are now producing the same shirts that they are (4G shirts).

Morgan, I completely agree with you that he was wrong on leaving folks in the dark.

I don't know if t-shirt biz was his only game or not, but I highly doubt it. You gotta think if he is working a 40+ hour job, taking care of family during a crisis, and all the other shit that goes along with that, is making a couple of bucks on some t-shirts on the top of your list if on it at all?

On a side note, since we are talking t-shirts now (Thanks McCollins you DICK) I wonder if it would be possible to give our new vendors the chance of making AZ shirts instead of those God Awful Cafe press ones. What do you guys think?
