UNITE to Let Artbox know what we think.

It might be an idea to do that Roz as you don't really 'know' who uses the Forum and what they might wish to use our email addresses for.

[ferdinand_the_yak]

I agree, if we need to contact each other, we can always use the PM function!

Not that I do not trust frum members with my email... but who knows what nasty people are out there!

NOW who's been watching too many X-FIles??

It's the government's my policy to DENY EVERYTHING!

[kbmum]

I think you should hide the email addresses.  I don't even list mine in my profile because of all the junk email I get.

[Roz]

Oh apparently it's just me and Mark that can see the email addresses - my mistake

Hi Roz,
          After i signed the petition it said would you like to view signatures so i looked and all it showed
was the persons name how many boxes they brought and there comment.

[Roz]

Good good.

Right - guys there are 6 people who have signed the petition and have very good points to get across but have not verified their comments by email.

Please do this so your comments will be seen by Artbox.

Another interesting gadget Mark built in is this...

http://www.theyakshack.co.uk/tradingcards/index.php?page=petition&action=stats

Which shows you how many boxes our opinion adds up to At the present moment that's 1922 boxes... wow our fingers must be raw from sorting out all those base cards!

That's about 4,000 base sets

Hey Roz – What’s the status of the petition?  Are we ready to send it yet?  Let’s see we have 33 signatures, but 1 is unconfirmed?  Who didn’t confirm their signature?  And why do we only have 33 sigs?  There are 289 registered members and only 33 have signed?  Where are the other 256 signature?  Granted not everyone here is a Harry Potter fan *shakes head unbelievingly*, but I know there are more than 33 of us.

If we don’t voice our concerns en masse, Artbox’s total lack of communication with the collecting world isn’t going to change one bit.  As a collector, I feel we need information from them before their release of a product.  If anyone has not signed the petition yet, please do so.  I really feel our petition would have more merit with them if we had more signatures.

Okay, I’ll get off my soap box now.  Thank you in advance to any additional member who signs our petition, and thanks also to those who have already signed.

What if someone were to post the link to the petition on the NSU forum http://nonsportupdate.infopop.cc/eve/ubb.x

and any other trading card forums for that matter?

[Roz]

I don't think NSU would allow it - unfortunately they feel obliged to be constantly nice to card companies otherwise Harris won't get his free boxes or future advertising contracts.

What other Harry Potter Trading Card forums are there? I set this one up as I couldn't find any others

I'll send it off but I agree with Anna the sig number is pretty low.

[Boggle]

I think the NSU board is mostly funded by the card companies isnt  it? Hence the strict "rules".
Anyway, i've just signed the petition, but my confirmation link dosent work, i get an error message when i click it?

[Luluhime]

doh >.< I feel really silly now...I'm still 'new' to all of this    

[Roz]

doh >.< I feel really silly now...I'm still 'new' to all of this    

No no, don't feel silly - they wouldn't like the fact that there's a link from the petition to this forum either  

[Boggle]

Dont worry, we were all newbies once! This time last year i'd have given you a funny look if you'd even mentioned trading cards to me! Then i bought a cheap box and started on that slippery slope.....

[Boggle]

Hey Roz, any ideas why my link wont work?

I'll get him out of work to solve this one it's odd actually I don't think we've had any other complaints... perhaps things are going pear shaped uh oh - has Artbox been hacking the site

NOW who's been watching too many X-FIles??

I should really heed my own advice - I ought to remember that Artbox would spend their time on sorting out their own site if they had those sorts of hacking skills.

He hee - that brings to mind an idea - why don't we hack the Artbox site (we do have a white hacker on the forum) and put up the latest known details - wouldn't that make you all chuckle??

Bah! Foiled! I'm actually an Artbox spy, sent in to nobble the petition.
On another note, i see that on another forum someone has emailed Artbox to ask when more information will be avaliable, and the answer was "When the cards are released"
Thanks Artbox!

Yeah I spotted that - that was NSU/Card Talk. I can't believe how rude that is! It's completely shocking! It sends out the message:

"Just send us your money and we'll send you what we feel like".

I think they are reaching the edge of our good will here!

I saw that same post.  Artbox's response annoyed me enough to post in this thread about the status of the petition.  Their attitude definitely needs adjusting!
