Not sure if your going to get anything useful out of him, after all... that's the kind of shit you don't fess up to unless you want to go out of business. :/
hmm he made a response same day and it read as follows
Hey S,
In response to the message you sent to Lindsay at the office using our backend CRM, please allow me to make the following reply;
hey i was just wondering if you could clear something up for me. i was looking at your products online and found some grow journals being posted and some conflicting stuff came up. there is this ledbudguy going around posting his journals on his site but then he seems to have another site under the name
http://irishboyled.com/?cat=1
this is clearly the same grow as ledbudguys but hes claimin that he is irishboy of the forum rollitup.org and then it has links to your site . well im a member over there on rollitup and i am in contact with irishboy and he says this is not his grow and has nothing to do with your lights or your company. just wondering if you could clear things up at all? not hating just letting you know more than anything as well because people are noticing that this is going on and are starting to slam your product and your company bad! supporters are dropping you left right and center because of this shit. just thought i would give ya a friendly heads up as this is definatly hurting your business on there. i would contaact this guy and if it is him tell him to stop and take that other site down it is only causing you problems. again just friendly recommendations not tryin to tell ya how to run your business.i actually like your lights and have friends using them and would hate to see your business hurt from this.
cheers
S
That's the problem with forums is that there is always some conspiracy unfolding isn't there? The owner of ledbudguy is a customer of ours, nothing more nothing less. In fact, we have offered on more than one occasion to pay him as an affiliate for referrals to which he declines every time.
The good thing about controversy is that people tend to remember whats real and what is not and the bottom line is that results don't lie. The 357 Magnum LED is the benchmark of the industry and people will dream up all sorts of stories to try and discredit its success. Take a look at who is starting the drama and know that most of the individuals involved are either LED company owners themselves, paid growers or forum owners protecting the interests of their "paid advertisers". Myself, I choose to stay out of it and let business carry on as usual.
That said, I have been contemplating making an offer to purchase ledbudguy.com from the owner and turning it into a customer resource forum for Magnum LED owners. Who knows, maybe I will get to be LEDbudguy after all?
Take care,
Dave
hmmmm..... the plot thickens i didnt even expect a reply back but i emailed him again asking him if he is directly affiliated with the irishboyled.com caused it is off the same domiain or some shit or at least says its powered by magnum led.com so now i see if he returns my email again.
Good luck man, hope it gets better soon. hehe I liked the "what- you trip over that big bud? hehe I like to imagine that's exactly what happened!
