Dear Mr. Roberts Stop!!Though Arm TV is a very useful site for info on other pullers and outcomes on other matches, it needs to be updated a hell of a lot more than it already is. I understand you have other jobs you have to do but why start something if you are not going to give it 100% of the time. If you want to be the world's largest...whatever the hell you call your site.  If I'm going to pay $6 a month, I want to choose to pay by the month rather than in 3 month blocks b/c it will take 3 months before I get my $6 worth. Challenge me if you dare. I'll be waiting. Dear Mr. Ryden, What are you talking about?You, Mr. Ryden are in no position to criticize anyone's performance at all at an armwrestling event. For you to call someone up to tell them you would have won the match or your performance would have been better considering your greatest victory was a win over Kenny Hughes ON A DOUBLE ELBOW FOUL FROM HIM FLASHING YOU TWICE AND YOU NOT BEING TO EVEN HOLD HIM ON HIS ELBOW PAD. If I remember correctly, I saw you pulling some beginner Marine guy in a similar position and having some problems pinning him. I know as well as you do that the kid's knowledge on armwrestling was so inferior to the great Simon Berriochoa, but I guess we all can't be strong-a s s fiddler crabs with brains like Einstein. I know I haven't been in this sport long, but I guess what I'll have to do is start Pulling For Cheesedoodles, so that I may attain some cheesy-as s victories too. Sincerely, The mad poster   Oh, hi Christian |

Pete...James,
lets keep this civil shall we. I like you guys and I enjoyed meeting you guys at Nationals. I would like to keep to keep it on a friendly level.
First things first...just a side note.
your beef between you guys...(harold, james, and yourself)...
you guys are all bringing up stuff that you only saw on our website. How amazing is it that you can see someone in California pulling a Marine in his own backyard and at the same time he can see you guys pulling at Nationals...
regardless of your opinions on updating...that is pretty damn cool.
IF ANY OF OUR PAYING MEMBERS ARE not happy with their service then they can email me directly and I will do whatever it takes to make them a happy member. I believe in customer service and I will take care of my members on an individual basis.
If you don't like what is on our menu then by all means dine somewhere else.
Pete...let me do my job...and take a moment to see the big overall picture and refrain from judging ARM TV on one four week time span.
Again...lets keep this peaceful. The last thing we need around this message board is BAD MOJO. I will take your constructive criticism and try to apply it to make our business better. But the costs involved alone warrant there to be a charge.
What is a ARM TV membership worth? 25 cents...a gum ball machine.
6 bucks for a month membership. Here is a list for what I have spent money on in the last couple of days.
6 bucks-telephone cord
5 bucks-parking
40 bucks- groceries (I didn't even get much)
45 bucks-gas (every three days)
4.5- rental for my kid
30-lunch for wife and I
10- gym clothes at highschool (for niece)
put life in perspective a bit...

Hey Pete,
I did in fact have a conversation with James about his match on armtv and did say that yes... Is that all you heard I said, because there was a lot more to the conversation, which by the way was between James and I, and on the phone, and not on this board.... ands thats were it will stay on my end.
About my matches that you feel need to be brought up, my match with Kenny when he fouled out, thats not my greatest victory, in fact, I was bummed to have the "W" that way. My match with the Marine...that dude was tough and I have no shame in the struggle I had with him. I was wishing he would take up the sport.
You dont have to be hostile with someone you dont even know especially about a conversation you got second hand.... Have a nice weekend,
Harold
FYI, its Pullers For Christ...not cheesedoodles if that was what you were refering too.

No Kurt, it wasn't Pete complaining, it was me. If you are going to run a reputable service you expect to charge anyone any amount of $ for you have to update it more frequently. Gary, your passive anger comes across full force in your post, so lets not pretend you are trying to keep things friendly. By the way, I call everyone clowns, even my own mother. You are the only one that seems to take it seriously, though it is a term of endearment on my end (ask Pete). I have called him a clown more than any other living being and he is my best friend. I thought my personal messages to you would have illustrated that. Having further reviewed the situation (the play stands) just kidding. Harold informed me via telephone that you do spend a lot of time on the site and I believe you. I have many friends that have personal websites and pipedreams of them becoming the next msnbc. If you want to be the largest streaming video site in the world than you have to create a network. You cannot do that without 2 elements of vital importance. 1 Other people 2 money Perhaps you should craft a proposal (let me know if I can be of some assistance, I have done it several times before) and seek out venture capital. More resources is what you need. I know you are putting a lot of hours in, now you have to have other people that are willing to do the same. Anyhow, gotta go, it's getting late and I have to go insult my wife and child before bed.  PS Why are you renting your kid??  |

IT's cool James. All is well. You have said your piece and now I have to see if I can step it up a bit.
My goal is to have my members feel that they are getting their money's worth.
A network may be the answer but until then it is just myself and I believe that after ironing out all the kinks and getting a good system down that I can deliver a product worthy of your praise.
Until then.
Gary
