Not done yet



If 5-13 can do it, Duane Jennings, Geno, etc., then why not others!

Now where's the rest of ya!'s

I would be a sponsor if I could ever find the time to create teams and find buyers to buy them

I really would like this discussion to remain general in an effort to compel those who are able to do the right thing. It would be nice if we didn't point fingers.

FREETIME INNOVATIONS,my humble business,such as it
is, is now closed.Shut-down.No more.I'm done.You have to go
elsewhere for teams/gear,etc..I appreciate all the business that
came my way.I have several commitments to honor then it's
history.I'm also walking away from this hobby.You guys kill me.....
I've heard enough on this "sponsor" issue.You guys never
cease to amaze me.You're never satisfied are you......
First,you grumbled and groaned about non-members using
the site.If I remember correctly,initially when Beenutt started this
thing it was for everyones use.No charge,blah,blah,blah.....
That soon changed.You weren't happy until you got your members-only
changes.I'm sure those "changes" aren't done.You got it.Congratulations.
Now it seems you're not going to be happy until you get anyone that's
made a dollar,(most of us trying to help the hobby & not our wallets,)
in this hobby to become a business sponsor.Someone said don't point fingers.Well you've done everything but name names.You may as well
do that too.I'm sure I'm on your list.Someone else mentioned
"doing the right thing",that becoming a certified sponsor is the right
thing to do.All the time I was doing teams,I thought I WAS doing the
right thing,by giving you guys a decent price for a decent job,with a
very decent turn-around time.Guess I was wrong.Money never was the
bottom line for me.I made very little as opposed to some.Most of the
time I was lucky to break even.I even lost money on some jobs so
don't preach to me about ALL the money I made.I gave tons of stuff
away.Give me a break.And it seems that some of those that came to
me for work ( and some have posted on this topic) didn't have any
issues with the low prices I offered or the fact that I wasn't a Business
Sponsor.How soon we forget........
I did what I did to help enhance others experiences in the hobby.
Money was never my main-source of motivation.I probably couldn't
go across country and back on what I've made from this hobby.
Don't get me wrong,the hobby doesn't owe me a thing.Nothing !
But I've done more than my share,I think, to help it out.Never
expecting nor wanting accolades.I liked what I was doing.I
though I was helping make a difference.Again,I guess I was
mistaken.Someone else mentioned Integrity.I honestly don't
think my integrity has ever been in question,in or out of this
hobby.I know what I've done to serve this hobby as well as
this country.Don't any of you EVER question my integrity !!!!!!!
I've had my say.Respond as you will.It just doesn't matter
to me anymore.I wish you all the best and I honestly hope
you don't screw this hobby up beyond repair.If you're not
careful,you just might........

Respectfully Yours,
Christopher M. Stacey

Chris, when have you ever broadcasted? Never. I personally don't feel you fit the argument, or criteria that people refer too. I for one can definitely speak to the fact that you definitely don't do it for profit. Moreover, it's always something more that you do for each person. Just my humble opinion.

Remember when you gave me your card at Buzzball. Believe it or not it's the only Electric Football card that I have. I asked you how much of it was free! That's when you said you loved doing this on your spare time thus the name.

I may have a position on this issue but to be quite honest when I posted I never once thought about you.

Maybe I should have. My apologies if you felt anything I said was directed at you. I can assure you it was not. Again, I know for a fact you don't do this for the money.

I own my own company but I don't sell my products on here 'cause they aren't EF/MF related but what does a business sponsorship cost ? I don't mind at all to support the forum.
