callenish gunner Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 We've PM'ed him here and emailed him at the magazine for the past 8-9 months and it has never been resolved ....Bad business practices!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunpowder Gertie Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 We've PM'ed him here and emailed him at the magazine for the past 8-9 months and it has never been resolved ....Bad business practices!!! I've emailed him on numerous occasions, got a reply once- to wait.That was several months ago. Okay- it's been over a year- and not one issue. I keep seeing these postings about issues in the mail. Gettin' old, really. Has anybody gotten an issue? I subscribed in October '08. I think that was before he put out his new mag. Is that where my money went? Maybe I should get one of those, too... and oh wait- he's got a Steampunk mag coming out too now? Is that how he got the money to make the issues that supposedly are in the mail? Colour me disgusted.

Graydog Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Has anybody gotten an issue? Yes, I got mine two days ago and it is exactly as Black Fox described along with an actual CD enclosed (Hooked on to a page). Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Seems with subscriptions down across the board and many top magazines failing for lack of subscribers and ad revenue, a magazine would be bending over to keep its subscribers happy. No subscribers, no ad revenue. Maybe someone's a better pirate than we are.

TheBlackFox Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Sorry if I didn't answer every email and pm about the lateness of the issues. . .with all of the information on the website, I found that repeating something that any pirate with a lick of sense could find out on their own. again was not covered under the umbrella of "customer service." I don't respond well to whiners so I don't respond at all to them. If you're too lazy or not smart enough to check a website for publication dates that were ALWAYS updated, that's your problem mates. . . not mine. I'm a one-man business busting my butt to deliver what I think is a high quality product that, unlike other magazines, never, ever skips an issue. . . . it might be 10 months late. . . . but not skipped. I don't have time for lazy pirates looking for an excuse to complain. Yeah. . .I'm a bit defensive over what I do for a living. . . not for just a hobby like most pirate enthusiasts. Refunds for a subscription balance are always available. . . no questions asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Blydes Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I've keep fairly quiet, but I really have to vent now. I never got the 4th issue of my one year subscription and that was issue #7! No replies to emails, so I've given up. My emails recently have been to remove me from the email list because if you're not going listen to me, I don't want to hear from you. I asked if my account on their forum can be removed. I've blocked the emails as spam. Bad business. I've told people around here about this, and they have gone with Pirates Magazine. I'm very happy with their customer service. They made sure I had one of my issues before I left for Afghanistan. I've written Pyrates Way off. William Blydes I don't get lost, I EXPLORE!

Refunds for a subscription balance are always available. . . no questions asked. ya know what? There is no need to take this tone with us..or me! I've emailed you several times, you could at least reply. You've had my money for OVER A YEAR..and then you think you can call ME a whiner? I had pretty much written you off. As for checking your website..hmm- yeah I did. Even checked your forums that laid dormant with no postings for months. And- let me tell you- your website would say an issue was going out- and then months would pass, and then another website "update" saying it had gone to press and was going out the next week..and then..nothing for months. Gimme a break. Yeah- I could have cancelled my subscription- but would you have answered THAT email if you didn't answer any of the others? Seems you got attached to my money. But you've still got enough fundage to launch Faire magazine..and now- what is it? the Compendium? Quite the scheme you've got goin' buddy. and you have the nerve to insult your subscribers, who have until now been patient. Yeah- okay.

TheBlackFox Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) It's not very pyratical to see how many of these cake-eating whiners have actually subscribed to The Pyrates Way. . . and how many actually did NOT but are big supporters of m'competition. Curious, ain't it? I need no endorsements or subtractives from those folks on this board who apparently have their own agendas planned and hope that ye don't look too closely at their posts in "random" order. By May, The Pyrates Way will have caught up to our back-lag of issues. We DON'T hide behind changing seasons on the cover to "issue numbers." We NEVER skip an issue. . .albeait late (sometimes almost 10 months) but NEVER skipped. Our advertisers, subscribers, and readers deserve all that they have paid for and I've gone into MUCH debt to make sure that happens by May of 2010. The 16th issue of The Pyrates Way will be FREE FROM ADS. . . . this means from the photography and the writing, to the editing, printing, and mailing. . .it comes out of MY pocket. It will be an EXTRA issue to all subscribers!!! (i.e. you get 5 issues instead of 4) We ARE America's FAVORITE Pirates Magazine and in Issue #14 (Winter) you'll see the actual percentages of each "favorite pirates magazine" of those who were on stage at PiP for the Wench/Pyrate contests which we caught on video start-to-finish. What gives us more credence in that we weren't event asked to be a judge, which our competitors were. I welcome you to check it out and read it for yourselves. www.pyratesway.com Edited January 28, 2010 by TheBlackFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good try though. FYI- I was in the hospital, and that's why I haven't PMed you.Oh btw- I guess it's okay for you to ignore emails, for an entire year..and not for someone to take a couple of days to get back to you, by PM on a public board. You know, I would suggest you just take care of your subscribers and get the mag out, and quit coming back to mouth off. cause it isn't winning you any friends. And you are just looking like a pompous fool. I'll be happy to show you my credit card receipt. From OCTOBER 08. Agenda? You bet yer ass.. I want my magazines that I PAID for.
