THE FRACTAL DEBACLE

[threadkiller]

I was thinking about getting and Axe Fx ultra when I can save up for one but the more I read and hear about Fractal, the more I'm thinking f*ck them and f*ck the ass Fx.

Don't get me wrong... Cliff has done more for his customers than most companies would ever do... And now with 11.00 I'm much happier with my Ultra than ever before... Still want an Axe-fx 2 though!!!

Wow... I totally missed this thread... needless to say I got banned (again) from the FAS forum for posting "truthful" information...

Sorry to read this man. Seemed things were calmed down a bit there for a while. Cliff had his minions on a shorter leash. Looks as though it's back to the future with this site and its mods being dicks again. I'm sorry, I'm one of the most tolerant people out there - I always I try to see things from someone else's perspective if I don't completely agree with them. I'm a compassionate guy, even though I'll speak my mind whenever I feel like it.

ANYWAY - this bullshit mentality would not fly if it weren't for the fact they've got a monopoly on the market, and man, their wares certainly are 100% killer. I'm missing my Ultr big time, just waiting for the II to present itself on the buy screen. But man, if there was a competitor out there, I think 60% of the populous would immediately b-line it over to them based on principle alone.

"Hi there Cliff, I heard that my Axe that I bought a year ago, and completely love, is going to be obsolete. Which means that although I couldnt be any happier, that may not be the case in a month. Is this true?"

"Yes. We are in business to make a profit, so we felt it was time to move to a new platform and update our product."

"Canz I has a refunz? My axe sounds like crap all of a sudden"

many men have had their feelings hurt due to version II

but Don.......some will sit quietly and despite succumbing to the misfortune of having an obsolete computer in the privacy of their own home, they are reluctant to come out of the closet and show their true feelings and say, "ah fuck, now I am stuck with this box of 1's and 0's".

Or TGP. Or anywhere the butthurt have a say. In places they don't, they just take their ball and go home. All for some freakish object fetish.

The sad (or funny, or maybe sad AND funny) part is that they're going to go through all of this again in 5 years.

Cliff always used to come off as a douche on the forums. Self righteous know it all douche.

And this is any different from any other Forumites?

I'm a douche, your a douche, we're "ALL DOUCHES"! Otherwise, we'd be eatin' pussy & actually playing, rather than wasting time typing worthless dribble in an internet forum.........

I eat puyssy play then get on rig talk lol;

 

[gtr31]

the worst and most annoying thing on that forum is the 50 ,00 threads titled "If you couln't get an AX 2 for 3 months what would you do" Get a freaking life man .like brutal someone starts a new thread every few hours ."When will the ax be out" If I was Cliff I would sit on it another 2 months ..Its soo annoying can't even go there anymore
It so much like Apple culture it is ridiculous I think a large population of their users are pointdexters
Product looks cool enough but the whining and babying over there is like Kindergarten or HC.
Some are really cool like Java Junkie though

Poindexter is a very good description of sorts. Never thought of that one, but ya, definitely a good term to use. I may have to lob that one around over there and see how it gets digested

The smart move for anybody thinking straight would have been to sell whatever you had when the countdown started. That was all the warning anybody should have needed.

From day fuckin' one we've been saying the old units would take a huge hit in value when the new one was released. The respsonse was always, and quite correctly, "That's the nature of the digital realm, you buy a new PC, cell, PDA, blah blah every few years and don't complain about it, it's not a problem and we accept that". Except when it finally happened all of those same people went batshit with butthurt. Make up your minds already. (And guess what, 5 years from now you'll be applying the Prep H AGAIN when the III is released).

Win. This thread should end with the post above. I still have an Ultra and now that I'm seeing clearly again, I have to agree with every word here. Looking back I see that big fucking count down and now I feel stupid for not admitting what it meant.

I sold my Standard during the countdown and Bought an Überschall

Wish I had done the same. Not sure I would have bought and Uber, but maybe another Suhr.
