Title: T-Shirts?
Post by: alx on July 30, 2003, 06:07:40 PM

From this ANN thread (http://ann.lu/comments2.cgi?view=1059457714&category=forum&start=1&35), it seems like the Club Amiga T-shirts could be moving :-)  A inc haven't said anything though.

Mods: Move to talk-about if you want, but I'd call T-shirts "software" ;-)

A few people seem to be confirming this. Amazing. :-o

it would be nice if cecilia could confirm this.

Well, if I get mine, I might just bring it to work so they can snap a pic of me in it, then I'll upload it and provide a link. Those who have been to past St. Louis Amiga shows will remember me guarding the seminar rooms, and perhaps what I look like.

@Billsey

Same here.  If I see such a package, I will both snap a shot of the package and the shirt.  I will also upload it to AO's gallery. Once again, I'll believe it when I see it, and not before.

Well,  I just sent Cecilia an email via her address link on Ann ... (Ok,  So its a Yahoo addy ... I use my Yahoo addy,  why shouldn't she ?)

Asking her if she would mind posting verification HERE that the post on Ann was a genuine "Cecilia" posting.

Are you back? I hope so :-)

Would be nice if Amiga Inc finally solves the situation. Would mean a lot for their credibility and may suggest an improving financial status.

Sending a mail to the address on the page she links to her on
amiga.org might be a good idea too, it's ceciliafx@yahoo.com

Anyway.. if it's a really serious prankster, someone might even have
made a couple of t-shirts and sent them to a few people that the
prankster met at Amiwest and chatted enough with to learn that they
had bought coupons. That would be a hilarious joke. :-)

I guess, but I think it's unlikely.  This person would've have to also extract the postal addresses from these people - considering some of the weird people who hang out at Amiga forums these days, I'd call that a serious piece of social engineering.

If it was a prank, it would have to be done by someone who personally knew all the recipients well enough to also know their street addresses.  I met quite a few people at amiwest who I consider decent and friendly, but I don't know them well enough yet to give any of them my street address.

Post by: Lando on July 30, 2003, 09:09:42 PM

Grrr.. I have moved house twice in the year and a bit since the coupon crisis so, even if they have genuinely been posted this time, I won't get mine... :-(

Guess I'll just have to console myself with my Genesi T-shirts.

Title: Re: T-Shirts?
Post by: Merko on July 30, 2003, 09:28:42 PM

I'm sure I could find out Cecilias street address in a few minutes, if
I wanted to. Ok, make that half an hour, since apparently she doesn't
want to show her full name on her website. ;-) Also, you're thinking
that they would be sent to "random" forum visitors - something which
is certainly not what a prankster would want. He'd want to send it (or
to impersonate) people like Cecilia, who are known to be fairly
"objective".

Because.. if it was a known AInc supporter, people would say they lied
just to support AInc. If it was a known Genesi supporter, people would
say they lied in some attempt to smear AInc. :-)

Until one of two things happen, namely (a) I receive *my* T-shirt or (b) someone reliable posts a picture of one, I'm treating it as a hoax.

Post by: Loki1 on July 30, 2003, 11:09:41 PM

I sent an email to the webmaster of Amiga Inc website and have received a response!

According to Ray A. Akey, Amiga Inc. Has not sent any T-Shirts to anyone, period!

When they do, we will hear it from them!

Loki :-x

I just checked the IP-numbers of the "I got my ..."

5 out of 7 use dialup from EarthLink (Mindspring)!

I hope that you aren't tring to say I started this crap!

Just because I have a Mindspring address (also hotmail and Cox Cable).

Check AmigaWorld ... Check ANN ... this is not against you! This is no attack against you!!!

I trust you Loki :-D

Didn't even check yours!!!

--- Edit ---

Did only check the guys who wrote that they got theirs .... those *#?@

I doubt very much that Amiga, Inc. would be sending packages that have no return address. If I get a package with a T-Shirt in it, I'll post here, but right now, it seems too strange to me to be true. :-(

@hnl_dk

I checked and found the same thing.  But if I'd said anything, I'd be found a blue troll trying to spread FUD, so I kept quiet.

Anyone want a Genesi t-shirt BTW?

Title: Re: T-Shirts?

Well Downix since you asked...yes I would love
to have a Genesi t-shirt, please!...:-)

I would not mind having one of those Genesi t-shirts.

What I don't get... If it is a hoax... What is the purpose?

I really started to believe that AInc finally got some financial investment.
