The Jamin Jannard Rarity Sale Discussion Thread

[OakleyFrankFMJ]

He told he was banned a long while ago. He's a good friend but I can see why it might have happened. Not really the strong silent type. Lol. I'd stand beside him in any fight for sure.

He wasn't banned

A member here posted a custom he did in tribute to work from another artist (not to sell but to share). The person being discussed took objection to the original artist's print being used without permission. The guy who made the custom avoided conflict but other members jumped to his defense, which devolved into an argument with a number of disparaging remarks being make about this forum and its members. Arguments and insults aren't exactly unheard of here, but the nature of these specific remarks hit a nerve and resulted in an immediate ban.

I inquired privately if the ban was temporary or permanent and was told it was permanent. I requested he reconsider, change it to temporary, but no further comment was made.

It was all very heat-of-the-moment. Perhaps enough time has passed that people are willing to start over.

He's a good guy. And super connected

Holy crap

No, it wasn't before your time.

 

[dingo ate my baby]

No, it wasn't before your time.

Oh, if I think know who it is and he is A very cool guy. I think we have both dealt with him..

Really, I don't know why we're [meow]footing around naming him, it's not like he's being called out or anything. He was the main guy who worked to convince Jamin to sell these pairs, Takumi to do those signed prints, and did the main promotion of these things outside of this forum. He also was behind driving Oakley to hold those sponsored collectors events the other year. Credit where credit's due; this thread wouldn't exist without his work.

It's Garth.

And no, to be clear, I don't claim any sort of personal relationship with him. I bought a watch off him the other year but I doubt he even remembers that.
