Ron can do whatever he wants, its obvious, I respect him, to me 'filmed by damage inc' label always meant great quality, I appreciate everything he has done. I just don't see much difference between hoarding and not releasing 'Metallica Classic series' because of one guy, that's all I wanted to say.
there are quite a few guys here on metpage who hoard without reasons and never give anything to the comunity, BUT download a lot of great shows from our tracker...what about these guys??
we have got a lot of great releases over the years from ron and now it's over...sad but true...but maybe this story shows what has happened to the trading world...it's not about metallica, the music and their live shows anymore, it's just about "who has the biggest list" and "hahaha, i have something nobody else has"...finally people need to leave this shit behind or more people will do the same as ron.
It does not have to be like it is with Metallica and Metpage and some other bands out on other sites.Take Van Halen for example they have a great trading community over at vhtraders.People try to help each other out not hoard this recent tour just proves this again.If there is a new show it gets passed around to members freely.If there is a new member people will help them out.None of this only trade for NT RT responses.
As far as Ron goes he is a great trader I have done a few trades with him.His dvds not just Metallica are top notch and some of my favorite authored shows in my collection.I really appreciate the quality he comes out with and the effort put into his shows.I was bummed to see he feels this way but I understand.It's his choice for now maybe someday hopefully he will reconsider.
He told me before you can have a show just don't list it yet for trade or on your list for a awhile.I had no problem doing so no reason to put it on my list.I just want to enjoy my shows don't need to show something off if it is not available for trade yet because the person who gave him the source requested so.
As far as banning someone I don't agree in banning someone just because certain members dissagree or can't get along.If someone is screwing over tons of members and there is proof that is different.The guy seems to have plenty off positive feedback.But Ron did say others came forward to him he is honest so I will take him at his word.I will leave that kind of stuff up to the mods.
Ron thanks again for all the shows you have authored and released.I like you are someone who really loves music I'm into this hobby cause I love watching these shows and going to concerts I'm close to 35 and have been into mainy of these bands since I was 9 -12 just getting into hard rock and metal.The most sad thing I think I have ever read on this site is a major majority of our members don't even watch the shows they have and never have in the first place.I understand if a show sucks quality wise but then I don't even keep it or want it in the first place.There are so many good shows out there by Metallica and other bands I love putting them on my tv and relaxing and enjoying the music and the performances by my favorite bands.To me to think someone is hoarding shows they don't even watch makes me sick.
