Does it really matter how much money? "oh its only 200 dollars, Forget about it fool!"
Completely retarded retort...
Im not saying anything against TAB herself, but rather the overall standpoint of some people regarding how much was 'lost'.
Bringing it to the boards is all some people can do once they are ignored. Amounts should not matter, yet, the actions of the parties involved.
For instance, Odie ripped me off for 450 dollars on a project I helped her out with a couple years ago. I got the run around and dismissed since it was a low amount. Is it right? Fuck no!! Will people continue to work with her down the road... Most likely. Why? because it was a small amount and people have known her for a long time around here. That means ripping me off was just another day for her and another free project completed.

OK so nice of you to bring this to the boards considering I came to you to design a website for the company that I worked for. I did not give you the run around...the owner of the company(of which I was supposed partners with) gave ME the run around in paying you...I tried to get you paid. Eventually, I got screwed over for a whole lot more than the $450 that HE owed you.
Shortly thereafter the OWNER had a heart attack and DIED on his kitchen floor leaving EVERYONE screwed over. Once a person dies, so does everything else as his son had to liquidate everything the company owned and any debts owed. There was absolutely NOTHING I could do. I suppose I could pay you out of my OWN pocket but I'm still trying to recover from this whole mess as well.
MANY of the people in this industry knew this man that screwed you over and will tell you that I'm not shitting you when I tell you he's passed on. You had the p/w to the site and could have taken down your work when he didn't pay you. Send his son your invoice and maybe he'll pay you...I wouldn't count your chickens tho..
