I'm sorry about that. I was doing it as I was going. I stayed up till 5am taking care of all the Black Friday deals, then went to work at 8am to fulfill all the orders that came in. In hindsight, I probably could have made a single post and then edited it every time I had more to add. I just didn't think of doing that at the time. I was working pretty frantically and was even working while having Thanksgiving dinner with my family. I'm sorry to have let you down this time.

xamido wrote:This is a reasonable suggestion. You only think it's acceptable since right now there's only one store doing that spam. It can get out of hands if other store also started spamming like that.

Yes, you're right, it would have gotten out of hand if every store had done that. The general rule of the Bargain thread is that a deal should only be put up once. Thus, if a developer or another store already posted a deal, I did not post it. I believe that all the deals I posted were there for the first time.

btw, it really bothers me when other dealers don't respect that rule. I wish we had a sticky for the rules because they're just not clear enough for everyone, including me.

On the other hand, since it's BF and a lot of the other deals are only in the BF thread, it's somewhat understandable.

Thank you for understanding. I totally get how you see it as excess and I'm sorry about that. I promise that this won't be a regular occurrence.

I am thinking about buying some SoundToys plug-ins, but I do not own nor plan to buy a physical iLok.
So I would wait for version 5 to use them, which will allow usage without a hardware dongle.

But, on the JRR homepage it says:

"SoundToys licenses are deposited directly to your iLok account by SoundToys themselves. Once you purchase this from us, please immediately send us your iLok ID and email address so that way we may forward it to SoundToys."

I'm sorry, that's outdated. They've recently changed their licensing system and we'll simply send you a license code now, which you can register after 5 comes out.

I'm sorry about that. This certainly won't be a normal thing. I'll try to consolidate my posts next Black Friday.

Well, not really. The rule is that a deal should only be posted once. I do hear what you're saying, though, and I'm sorry that my postings seemed spammy.

We have a rule against doing that.

There actually used to be a JRR thread but I stopped it because that felt exceedingly spammy. I really don't post like that any other time of the year and I hope that my posts during the rest of the year don't seem spammy.

No, that's not it at all. I wasn't allowed to post them in advance and I was literally posting to KVR as I was creating our newsletter. I posted to KVR, then made a banner for it, then posted something else to KVR, then made a banner for it, ad seemingly infinitum. When the posting flurry ended, that's when I completed and sent out our newsletter. It was all happening real-time, that's why there was so much going on.

Yeah, no problem. I also went a bit overboard with the criticism. I've never had problem with JRR, and i guess that day was just too hectic that you don't have time to properly prepare a complete bargain post.

No hard feeling, i'll always continue to buy stuff at your place in the future.

Is that really true??? KVR only alerts me when I haven't clicked on a thread. There can be 100 posts and I will only get one notification until go to the thread. Only after I've visited the thread will KVR send me a subscription alert.

The bundles weren't included. The product had to be registered by the 30th. I'm assuming they'll give some leeway on that end date but I don't have any facts to back that up.

If anyone got a bundle from us thinking you'd get a second bundle, please PM me and I'll take care of you.

I'm sorry about that. This certainly wasn't a normal weekend. We're mostly caught up now but please PM me if you're still waiting for anything.
