When I have the money to spend on it, I will be buying the DVD's off of TAR for this match and quite a few others... however, last night almost completely made me want to forget about supporting them based on the attitudes.
You were not going to support TAR because people that have no affiliation with TAR, were saying things you didn't like?
People, this is exactly the reason I have stated several times in these types of threads, you guys that go off on everyone, calling them cheapskates and nits and many other names, telling them they don't support pool, this is what your doing for TAR..... your hurting them. You think your helping them, but your HURTING them.
Your turning away many people that might have bought TAR products in the future or may have bought them in the past. Many state that publicly, many you never see a word from, the result is the same. They interpret these comments, as that's the way TAR feels.
You can't guilt someone into buying something, it has the opposite effect and drives people away. Droves of them.
It's perfectly fine for you to discuss with your friends how you feel about it in private, but not ok in a public forum.
Not if you want to help TAR. They will gain subscribers by their outstanding production, their high quality stream, their top players in the world matchups and by positive word of mouth from people that have seen their PPV's.
While this is a public forum, where we discuss about anything, where people and products are hammered or praised, you have to decide whether your going to help TAR or hurt TAR, by your comments that you post. There is nothing wrong with discussing your feelings on the feed or the people that are matching up, or the commentators, or the matches and whether they suck or their great. That's honest opinions given by a subscriber of their PPV, giving others insight into them making a decision on whether they may buy a PPV in the future or not.
And after the damage has been done, the ones that make these comments, can't come back and say "This was just for the true nits, not the ones that couldn't afford it or had other plans, I didn't mean you" The damage has already been done. I know some of you have good intentions, but your going about it in a very destructive manner.
There have been many of these threads over a long period of time, not just this one, so my comments are directed to anyone that has been a participant in any of these threads, not just this one.
Scares the crap out of me, what some of you might be doing if you get turned down on a date:grin:
Now for those of you that might have read this thread and walked away with no intention of supporting TAR, please understand that TAR is not endorsing these opinions stated by others. Justin has to come on in every thread and say that, but by then it's too late, those people probably don't even come back to read it anyways.
Hell, the supporting of TAR is a side effect of buying the PPV. What your getting is something you won't get from anywhere else. Great pool by great players in long matchups for money. A stream that is top notch with several camera angles. Your the one making out like a bandit, but a side effect of you buying it, is that they get to continue to bring more shows on. Everybody is happy.
That's the way it ought to be.
. I realize that Lederman is just HBO's commentator. ESPN does give updates on PPV matches, just not to the extent that I said earlier.
