Clavet...Err...Venkman Burn in Hell!

[Mr. No-Ghost]

The above title are the words of Sebastian Clavet, not my own. Yes, folks, he is back...

Makes my blood boil, but to all those who want to know what's going on with the 88 MPH long-delayed hardcover, here is his explantion:
_______________________________________________

Hello Everyone!

Long time no "talk", mea culpa as they say.

Mistakes were done, lessons were learned and here we are.

First off, the Hard Cover situation. The only reason why it is impossibly delayed (not canceled) is caused by a low ordering versus a high printing cost. Now is it fans fault ? Hell no. Is it my fault ? Who else really, so yes.

I probably should have done it in soft cover first, maybe I should have done more advertizing, I should have done more of this and less of that. At the end of the day what is important to know is when do you get your copy.

The only way for me to compensate for the low ordering is to finance the difference myself, hence making this process very slow. However there is something you the fans can do to help out by simply letting me know about a few things. I will post polls tonight and just let me know what you think about various things.

Polls will be posted in the Literature section of www.weaverhall.com

I should note that I created Weaver Hall for legal reasons only. Owning the place gives better freedom and control as to how I interact with the community, it also allows me to not think about the many potential legal troubles I could run into otherwise.

My goal is not to compete with Troy or Chad or anyone else owning a GB discussion board. I like and respect all GB Discussion boards, true I visit some of them from time to time but posting will be concentrated on Weaver Hall. I should note that I make no money by running Weaver Hall.

Again I apologize for the aggravation this is causing everyone but I can say that there is not one day that I don't work on solving this unfortunate delay. Apologizing does not absolve all my sins, I realize that but I hope you will all participate in the polls which will definitely help.

Mistakes were done, lessons were learned and better things are to come.

Cheers

Sebastien

He'll probably get boiled by the GBHQ natives... but at least now things should simmer down a little.

This talk of a replacement vehicle if Ecto-1 has to be retired is intriguing, though.

The car sonner or later has to be updated if you prefer realism. The comcics are set in the Present Time, but after the events of the 1st film. If you go by this assumption, that would make the '59 Caddy that much older.

Doesn't matter. There are some Model Ts that are still driven around and look like they're brand new. If you take care of it the right way, a car can last you as long as you want. That's why there are classic car clubs and such.

I agree. If you're a regular Joe & not a collector with an unlimted budget, it's extremely hard to upkeep a unique auto. Collectors don't drive a car to & fro work; they're usually only for parades & shows.
