How about cutting the guy a little slack instead of trying to ruin his good name.
This is only my observation: I've not bought anything off Outdoorcode, I have no axe to grind with him and up until resently have only heard very good things about him on any of the forums I frequent, however, in the last couple of months I have heard more and more stories about lack of communication and none/very late posting of orders.
While I very much appricated Andrew may be having problems (I run my own company too and know that things don't always go to plan) and I've heard rumour of ill health he must see that his "good name" is rapidly going down the pan! Nobody wants to see this and everybody wishes Andrew all the best but he is running a business and if he doesn't do something about it then his business will be no more.
Most people are reasonable and
if kept informed will ride out any problems Andrew might be having but no contact leaves people with no option but to think the worst. All that is required is for Andrew (or a close friend on his behalf) to make a single statement copied and pasted onto all the regular forums he uses, here, BB, BES etc to explain what is going on and advising that no new orders are being taken until the current issues are sorted out.
I understand what you mean Weyland and agree to a point, however, as I say...this is a business he is running and although the "vultures" do not help his cause it is actually Andrew himself that is "ruining his own good name".
I hope everything works out for the best and Andrew is able to get back on top of his game in the near future.
All the best,
Bam.
