  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Ice cold and RED hot...

Finner,

A bit harsh but apropos. :) In a more compassionate vein:

Asking questions is never wrong. Expecting or demanding answers leads to unnecessary conflict.

Expecting answers when safety is involved is a public duty.

Xaindex, you're new to the RED User community. The RED User crowd is a passionate lot but there are guidelines that have evolved over the course of the last few months that create a smooth functioning community (and indeed any such gathering.)

I find that in new settings, whether a meat-space party or an online community, it behooves me to get the lay of the land and observe for awhile. Then I find a way to participate in a manner similar to those of the majority - to ingratiate myself. If I have something I can offer the group (like cupcakes for the party or a thoughtfully rendered diagram of the data work flow of the RED One) I'll build some credibility and good will before I start offering criticisms. If I am new and have only questions, I consider ameliorating my tone in order to indicate my lowly rank amongst more experienced members and to thank everyone for their time.

Best,

Michael

But, then I wouldn't be me. And I like being me... if people don't like me, hey, that's not really my problem. There are many people out there who DO like me.. and if some people don't.. I'm not offended. But I choose to be the way I am because it works best for me, always have, always will. Be it online, in the real world, or in outer space.

I appreciate the people who answer the questions I have, I could care less about the people who post back to me with comments like Finners.

Everywhere in life you'll have people who don't get along with each other, but the world still seems to revolve.

:) I mean not to offend anyone.. just stating my personal preference.

I'm a potential customers and I like to know what's going on with a product I may eventually purchase. That's all. I'm not demanding answer, was just asking "Why?"

Hi, I'm Jay, nice to meet you. You did not seem to catch what Michael was saying so let me put this another way for you:

This is a company owned site, it is not here for freedom of speech. Be nice, get along and all will be fine. Piss people off and your ass will be blocked and then banned.

Then you can like you all you wish, you'll just be doing it somewhere else.

If you want to stay here, be yourself, but be a version everyone can get along with, otherwise...

If we have to choose between you and Finner, a long time contributing member.. I have bad news.

You get the idea.

Have a wonderful week!

And be nice... I'd hate to see you go away..

Jay

See Jay's my friend and I am pretty sure I have posted much worse things to him before. (HA)
 
Can't we all just get along. :mellow:

Actually, I prefer that we don't all just get along.

Some people on here are royal assholes, others are royal ass kissers, so on, so forth.

I prefer people to be themselves but have something to contribute from time to time atleast.

Something of importance, not just bs chit chat. I think this forum as much more "loose" than other such as c.com or c.net, that's what makes it a bit fun at times.

Though at other times, it is awfully iritating to have a serious thread with great things to learn and inquire about, then some moron begins going completely off-topic. Or another moron begins flirting with another member of the forum (Gay as this may sound it happens often).

For a perfect example of what makes this forum great (Ass-kissing aside) look at Jim's/Graeme's/David M's posts. Consistently good stuff!

Long story short, at times I wish this forum was a bit more serious/professional and at times I don't. It's quite bitter-sweet.

Hmm. Interesting, where his this forum hosted, China? What's to stop someone who gets blocked or banned, from spoofing and ip address to re-register?

I've been myself since early this morning.

And if there are people here that don't like what I have to say or contribute, they can just ignore it, like I will do with the stuff I don't like. I think there are a couple people on here that understand me and can "handle me" and those are probably the same people that those of you who don't like me, you don't like them either. Anyway...

Have a great week yourself Jay, looking forward to chatting it up with you about some RED stuff!

In this thread, it was an under-heating problem, and if you don't know why you haven't read the thread.

Wow. 71 posts in your first day on the board, most of them adding nothing of value. "Tell me everything that has gone on since the start, I don't have time to read (or can't, or won't)". More tactful people have suggested you lurk and learn how this community works. I'm just putting you on ignore.
Others who wish to do the same can follow these steps:
1. Click the ignorable user's name in the left-hand pane
2. Click on "Add NAME to your Ignore list"
3. Click on Save List
4. Exhale deeply.

Good luck with your future interactions.

xaidenx,

When Jim Jannard said that his company improved the Red One's tolerance of heat by fixing some hardware problems but that he is "not going to say what," it caught my eye, too.

But Jim didn't have to make this camera. We don't have to buy it. Jim does not have to tell us everything his team does.

Maybe it would reveal one of the vendors he works with or some other competitive secret. Maybe it was an embarrassing mistake. Maybe it was a small mistake but hard to understand and likely to get blown out of proportion -- like it just has.

If you think Jim legally must tell you, that belief can be answered in black and white. On the other hand, if you think Jim keeping the details secret is a marketing mistake that could hurt sales, you're welcome to that opinion.

I too am curious -- mildly -- about what the issue was, but ultimately it's not my business. If you want to buy a camera and take it apart and try to learn everything you can about it, you can do that, too. But you need to respect Jim's right to keep some parts of this work to himself.

You're welcome to ask him to reconsider -- "Please, Jim, can't you tell us?" But I think if you devote more than one post to doing this, then you are pestering Jim and making it harder for the rest of us to discuss other facts.

For example, I told a very good joke that got lost in the middle of an argument between you and another poster. (Just kidding, that was not such a big deal.)
 
That picture is so RAD.
I wanna work at RED.
 
Finner, this is the second time you've made me literally laugh out loud.

That's pretty good for a freakin" online forum.

Keep up the good work!

some people never get the hint...

I believe there are still a few of the first 100 that haven't been sent in for upgrade yet - buy one, figure it out, and share it or keep it to yourself or whatever.

I think it was because the camera was getting to hot.
