I won't stick up for him, but I feel for him. Dude is having some serious personal issues. He needs to get on here and at least explain himself to the people who have supported him.
yeah. same here chadd. but personal issues shouldnt have anything to do with your business
I beg to differ.
Ever lost a parent? Ever dealt with a loved one's illness? Ever had a serious injury an no health insurance?

yes i have. but in my opinion your private life should never interfere with your professional life and vice-versa
bringing your personal issues to work may interfere with the efficiency and productitvity of yourself and those around you
That's all fine and good, but everyone is different. I don't advocate bailing on people's orders, but we're talking about a human being here.

Mark understands. Sometime stuff goes so awry that it is out of your control. Regardless, he needs to find a computer and post. People won't want to crucify him so bad if he just communicates his dilemma.
I vote for a lock on this thread. 24 hours have passed and gone. No board, No money back, No tracking. number. All hope is lost. What a rip. Nothing but bad kharma and empty pockets. Alot of emails from the vendor month after month claiming the board was in the mail. And as the sun sets on our hopes and dreams. Let the curtain fall. There is no final bow. Good Bye ARCANE. I never stepped on one. Just have pics that Austin sent me. Nice pics bro.
Your Amigo Eddy O G Texas Outlaws. This does not kill my STOKE, I still support small companys. Bummbed that is all.

I'm sorry to see this happen, I had hoped to add one of his mini's to my collection someday. Arcane was a good builder. Seems a lot of those don't seem to realize just how good they are and the demand that comes with that. I don't think this thread should be locked just yet however.

Yes the disappearing act is bad but you make it sound as if he has been taking orders the whole time too, which truly would be inexcusable.

I really hope everything is OK with him.
Austin is a good dude..
I don't want to see this turn into a CLB situation..
I know he was going through some serious stuff
last time I spoke with him.

Hey guys. I'm almost at a loss as to what to say. I'll start with the truth. My family has been going through all the crap you have heard about in this thread. Because of the hardships my wife and I split up last month. since then I have been basically homeless couch surfing with anyone that will have me. For this reason I've been unable to get on the internet. Not that the people I owe boards to and my comitment to them is not important, quite the opossite actually, it's just that survival is my main goal as of now. I'm not currently in the city where finished boards are waiting to be shipped and have no access to a car. I basically lost everything. I still plan on doing everything I can to get the remaining boards out. I could no longer pay for my Fish membership and to recieve any new mail had to pretty much delete every pm I've had. Those of you with boards outstanding Please pm me again with the shipping details. The boards along with all my tools are in stored away and I need to get to them, box them up and ship them out. I apologize for this guys. I thought I was back, maybe one day when I can get my sh!t back together, if you'll still have me. Again please contact me either by pm or at arcanelongboards@yahoo.com
