    Does anyone wonder if Jeff Yankee makes $$money [a % of sales] from Duality pushing the DV Garage tutorials? What's up with that scam.. I mean scheme... I mean financial arrangement...

    Does it imply that Jeff will work harder to promote fanfilms with which he has a money-making angle?

    What are you talking about???

    1) Duality was released well before DVGarage was around, and gained popularity based on it's own merits, not as a poster child for DVGarage.

    2) I challenge you to site a single post where Jeff "promotes" Duality. Especially since...

    3) Duality isn't even hosted on TFN.

    4) DVGarage caters to a market that, almost by definition, has very little money to spend: Amateur filmmakers. It's not like there is a whole lotta money to go around.

    Too bad though. It would be cool if he could at least get some income off the click-throughs on the DVGarage ads to help towards getting more band width.

    Bogus thread.

    Poor disgruntled Midi...someone's bottle is filled with spoiled milk this morning.

    As Padawan Nick pointed out, Duality is not on this site anymore. But Dave Macomber and Alex Lindsey are both friends and I was happy to promote their Toolkits. I think they are doing a great service for the fan film community.

    Oh, by the way, I did work on Duality. But since you have no clue what you are talking about, you wouldn't know that.

    Come on, now claim I'm making money from the sale of Hardware Wars DVD. Perhaps from the sale of Semaj's DVD creation business.

    BTW, it is spelled Yankey.

    TFN is a labor of love for Jeff. He works his butt off to make sure this site is the best it can be. He tells us about dvGarage because it's a tool we can use and he's excited about the product.

    HE MAKES NO MONEY FROM TFN, DVGARAGE or even DUALITY. Hell, he makes no money from me!

    Jeff does a great job and we should be damn thankful we have him running the TFN Theater show.

    And let me tell you, the quickest way to guarantee you'll never get a film here is to question the man's integrity.

    I assume Jeff is doing the decent thing and waiting for a 'neutral' mod to lock this away to the vaults of obscurity :D

    Anyway. Jeff, tell me more about this unique timeshare opportunity you PMed me about

    Now, who in their right mind would lock a thread where people keep jumping in and complement you?

    I for one get more enjoyment from this free site that Jeff has created than almost anything that I've paid for.

    Thanks again Azeem!!!
    (Out of curiosity...
    Did you happen to check the IP address on that post? It wouldn't have been from a coffee shop in Australia now would it?)

    Have fun.

    Although I found the original post disturbing (like "None of your bloody business buddy"), I found Jeff's response far worse.

    Behavior unbecoming an Admin.

    Just brush it off or spell out the facts Azeem. That kind of post only encourages the behavior many of us have been trying to squash out!

    Sauja

    Why isn't this locked?

    I would assume by locking it, the more "paranoid" people out there would cry that it is just an attempt to "cover things up".

    By letting it die it's own slow, eventual death, it sheds light on the utter absurdity of the post...

    I'm not sure what post you were reading Sauja, but it seems to me that's just what Azeem did.

    I almost didn't read this thread because I thought it was "TFN Fiancees"

    So I was expecting a thread about how happy JediTAC, Niennumb and PixelMagic are in their lives right now ;)

    PS: I totally agree with that statement, I get more enjoyment out of this site than I do other sites I pay to go to.

    I think Azeem was just fine with what he said....It isn't like he said you mothe-nevemind.....he didn't swear....he didn't REALLY dig into the guy...and really, how would you feel it you were in his place?

    And I like how MidiChloriFOOL hasn't shown his face since he wrote his insightful post in the first place. ;)

    Cowards usually do things like that.

    Oh man- I almost blew my soda out my nose when I read this one. Is this guy serious? Has he concidered the possibility that Duality got heavy billing back in the day because it was a landmark Star Wars fanfilm?
    <sigh>

    I thought this post was going to be a serious one about the state of money the TFN Fan films server was in. I read that and laughed out loud, when will these newbie board members ever learn.

    "Hey let's rip into him"

    I think that illustrates my point.

    Yes. Take it easy, WD. I mean, in the first place what this guy is suggesting maybe absurd but thats no reasing to wanna "hack into him". At least not to a certain extent...

    LOL Wix...I thought it said TFN Fiancees too! Thats funny :).

    And although this man is ignorant, obviously, we gotta treat him like a human, and humans say stupid things. Just give him a temp ban or something, OR IP check him and see if its out buddy "Bill". In that case, I think we all know what needs to be done.

    Anyways, good job midichlorian, you've just been labelled stupid. I mean, why do you jump to such STUPID conclusions?



    And TAC- MidichloriFOOL? LOL what the heo is THAT? Cmon, u can do better ;)
