By the way
How GeckIQ is the drive ?

Bantam Gecko or Gecko Bantam

[gmfoster]

I'd just call it the 'Gator"

Why?
Because I suspect it will eat up most of the competition.

A baby gecko is called a geppy.

Marcus Freimanis,

Someone should continue to "whine" complain about your lack of respect, talking down to CNCZone Forum Members.

Someone should be "whining" complaining about Forum Members not being treated equally.

This Forum is most likely accountable for thousands upon thousands of your sales.

Maybe the volume of each Forum Member sale here is not very great, however the total sum is still very large.

Treating Forum Members like they are second string players and belittling them is totally wrong.

Instead of defusing this issue you and your mentor are tossing gas on Forum Members "customers" with your eloquent choice of words!

Is it a good idea to minimize your customers in public defending your marketing choices?

We both know you cant make everyone happy, however drama in fact might help sell your products.

You might consider the name "Drama Drive"
Everyone loves "drama" controversy.

Please count me out of the new product name contest, thanks for the "Chump Squeeze".

One of the guys mentioned "why would you care about the person that only purchases three or four drives", that is a statement of complete ignorance.

dertsap,

Is it possible for you to communicate without being degrading?

My posts have nothing to do with age or sexual preferences.

Jeff, every one of your posts have basically been degrading since the illogical posting of the definition of brag. You also keep omitting the smilies. Either put some damn smilies in there or take it to PM. We are all fully aware of your thoughts however misguided they may be. Oh and thanks for playing. (wedge)

[jalessi]

Dertsap & Leeway,

There is a general understanding here that Gecko makes a good product. There has never been a mention of a quality problem.

You can cloud the issue with whatever you want.

Gecko is using this forum to sell products, for your information its called Guerrilla Marketing.

The facts are still in the posts Gecko has made.

Gecko has stated that there company policy is to provide product to OEM customers first.

They are wrong slamming a customer because of a complaint.

Some customers might not be happy with company policies.

Being degrading wont help anything.

Anyone can respond with babble.

I said your thoughts were misguided, so I will explain. Mariss may not hold the same perspective on marketing as you do. There is where your issue lies I think. I like to see people post that have a sense of humor. Thats just the kinda guy I am. You gotta be able to smile once in a while even if it's at yourself.

I run 9 Gecko's nearly every day. I had issues with 5 of them and I guarantee you I was treated as if I was their only customer. Not only did the fix the drives for free, Mariss figured out by looking at the drives that I was switching the DC side of the PS. My fault it was. I still quickly received new or repaired drives at no cost.

I need at least three more Geckco's and probably many more. I however have learned to be patient especially with cnc. If someone absolutely needs a drive, I'm certain Gecko would accomodate. They just can't sell the ones that aren't on the market yet. I admire Mariss's and Marcus's clarity and honesty. You may call it Gorilla marketing, but what they are actually doing here is supporting their products.

You just aren't going to be able to fault these guys in my opinion. You are just viewing things with the wrong shade of glasses. I doubt very many here see things the way you do. I absolutely depend on my Gecko's for my business and now that Mariss figured out what I was doing wrong, they are very dependable.

I am in the shop making my products every day. I have an 8 week lead time. Guys just have to learn to be patient with me on this. My business is first come, first served. Gecko is not doing anything different. They are taking care of those that came first. People they have dealt with for years. If you can learn to be patient and not so judgemental on how other people do things, you will live a happier life. That you can take to the bank.

Jeff,

I am not aware of what exactly "Gorrilla [sic] marketing" is, but it sounds particularly violent. In other words, very un-gecko like. We DO however engage in guerrilla marketing, or marketing things with an investment of time opposed to money.

This entire thread has been a look inside the development process of a drive. We have posted here from start to finish, allowing people to see exactly what goes on here at Geckodrive. We go through many revisions and many hours of work before we even have a prototype to play around with. It is a very exhausting process, and it is something that we do thoroughly enjoy.

This will be my last post on the issue. Any responses, complaints, or downright tirades will be roundly ignored. If you have a problem, please take it off of the forum and PM me, call me, or email me. We make an effort to be a very easily accessible company, and a company that takes our customer service very seriously. We then have someone like you turn around and slap us in the face for allowing you a look into the design process and how we treat our prototyping and limited production.

If you do not like the process, disagree with how we send out OEM drives first, or just do not like me personally, I would suggest you cease reading this thread as things will not be getting better any time soon. We will keep the same process, continue to ship out OEM drives, and I will continue to post.

Again, this is the last time I, or anyone at Geckodrive, will address this issue. Now, please stop beating a dead horse and take this to PM, email, or over the phone.

PS: LeeWay, this smiley's for you. Haha.

Well said everybody,

I wish I'd been able to keep my mouth/fingers shut, OH WELL!
