There are a lot of unhappy JoeKin customers on the Gunsnet AK forum including myself. I was warned on multiple occasions not to bash JoeKin and was finally locked out of a thread on that subject. I started another thread asking why I was locked out and got a nasty reply from someone pretty much telling me to keep my mouth shut. I replied back that I refused to shut up and was cancelling my membership because I didn't associate with dishonest people. Now I'll make this my new home.
I think I have a lot to add to this forum especially when it comes to AK's. I recently finished my own AMD-65 build and can answer questions on that also. I wonder if there were any positive replies to my last post on Gunsnet or if they were deleted also. Does anyone have access to them to check? My login name was the same there as here. |

You are not the first, nor will you be the last. You are welcome here to speak your mind.

Welcome To The Dark Side,sacmaster!you've found us,no need to go back.We usually have good discussions and our Mods are top notch.
|
|
Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Has anyone had the chance to check my goodbye post at Gunsnet?
|
|
I've been banned for complaining about Joeking myself.
Welcome aboard. |
|
But our users are crazy as hell! |
|
|
can I say "welcome to the dark side" and "step into the light" in the same sentence?
I haven't been banned yet, but then I don't bother going over there anymore. BowHunt is as dishonest as they come. |
|
I got banned for complaining about Gucciano/SAI. Some things never change!
take care, Tec |

Welcome!
Ideas and info will move around, no one web site is essential, and .net's market inertia will die because Dave keeps acting like the AK fans need him. And another thanks to the Avila's for such a nice place to hang out :) |

The last post I could find of yours, no replies concerning what you said :
It's a shame that they are still charging CC's for items they don't have in stock. I had a Hesse AK on order for three months with the usual "next Friday" excuse every week. It's a good thing I canceled knowing what I do now about Hesse receivers. This was a few years ago, I wonder why they still do this? I would like to order from them some day but not until they stop charging cards on things they don't have in stock. Does anyone think they're borrowing from Peter (your CC) to pay Paul in order to stock their inventory? That would be a smart way to do business in the aspect that nothing is ordered by them until it's paid for by you, but it sucks to be the customer. I'm not making accusations, just posing a question seeing how there has been a pattern over a period of years. EDITED TO ADD; I understand they could be having problems with their suppliers, but all of them all the time seems odd. I wouldn't pay the grocery store for tomatos that hadn't been grown yet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by Sacmaster : 09-26-2004 at 05:51 AM. |

I like this one from a member here, for some reason I just don't believe he really posted it.
JoeKen Firearms is up and running!!! They got a lot of good products out I can't wait to get my hands on. ------------------------------------------------------- Edited by Guns Network Staff 08/28/2004 07:30 AM CST So is this your way of trying to keep the peace? Start acting like an aduly JJB or we will start treating you like one! I don't want any excuses, you need to owed up to this and be accountable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by jimmyjoebob : 08-28-2004 at 12:35 AM. |

you need to owed up to this and be accountable. WTF? Over. |

You are woefully mistaken, there are very few upset customers who have been ripped off, on Gunsnet they do a great job of banning you guys as quickly as you bring up valid gripes. It makes it much easier to get new business when you have an uninformed potential pool, and keeping thier members in the dark is one thing that gunsnet is good at. Vendors like Joeken do not get much repeat business, so it is vital that they have a large pool of potential customers who are kept ignorant of thier business practices. JoeKen and Gunsnet have what is called a symbiotic realtionship, JoeKen would find it very difficult to ccontinue thier business without the help of GUnsnet staff silencing any concerns about thier business habits, and Gunsnet would not survive long without the fees paid by vendors like JoeKen, so if there were persistent rumors that JoeKen could not be trusted, they would stop getting business, adn would go under, therefore stop paying fees to Gunsnet. They are dependant upon each other to continue doing business together, the mutual customer that they share are no more than a secondary concerne to either party. ETA: I am going to keep my eye on you, sacmaster sounds an awful like "cockholster", and we all know whose favorite phrase that is. |

your right Mak I didn't, he edited out when I posted the LLC info being invalid about Jerkin, like hell would I post something like that about jerkin after the shit I went through
|
|
also forgot to mention, someone I think it was you MAK, posted a quote of the thread where David was calling for physical harm to my person, you have that link still? I want to hang on to that COC #9 violation of the owner just in case they wanna "press the issue" with the NPIC or whomever
|
|
I am the owner of a lowly Romainan WUM-1 I bought in 97 and I don't know much about AKs being sold now. So what's the word on Joeken, I was checking them out in SGN and they have several variants with new ban fee accessories.

Welcome... And I did not tell you to shut your mouth, I just said to make sure you opened it in the right forum. I wasn't trying to make trouble, I just been there and done that. I know the rules and following. Not because I want to but because I am a powerseller there and don't want to get banned. You will be happy here. There are alot of good people here/ |
|
|
The word is to avoid them at all costs, what they offer for sale and what they have to sell are two entirely different things. They claim to have the largest inventory on either side of the Pecos, but reality says that they have no invntory at all until they have been paid for enough orders, to pay off thier credit card enough to charge the next batch of presold inventory. |
|
|
For future reference: NEVER post a goodbye thread. It can cause a frenzy, not unlike blood in the water amongst hundreds of sharks. There will be lots of jokes at your expense, with a high fives all around for successfully booting you. |

I was banned for calling Thorton out on covering up for Guccicano - he was threatening me with NPIC - I challenged him to do it via Email - of course nothing ever comes of the Faux Seals threats - legal or ortherwise.

"Start acting like an aduly JJB or we will start treating you like one!"
Another pearl of wisdom from DimwiT |

I was banned for sending a PM to another member about Arsenal Inc.
Fuck Em |

Welcome Sacmaster. I've read some of your posts and found them helpful. I post there sometimes but I have found most here are good folks.

Is there anyone who hasn't been banned from that forum?
I've visited a couple of times and think I have an account there, now I'll have to go see what goes on. I haven't ordered anything from Joeken, having been pre-warned, but I'm happy to sacrifice my account to warn other potential victims, scare away the fish so to speak. Why can't you just re-register a new account with a different email account. Anon Web based email accounts are easy enough to obtain. |

whats wrong with arsenal? I was looking at one of their AK variants at a gun show, seemed nice enough. what kind of problem could I expect buying one of their products at a show, not ordering? do tell. |

I was banned for sending a PM to another member about Arsenal Inc.
lmao! what? did the person receieving your pm narc you out to the circular piece of furniture?!?!?! heheh! there isn't a dang thing wrong with arsenal inc. they are a fine outfit that refuses to submit to blackmail and extortion. they told the dorknutz to go take a flying leap...along with a dozen other outfits. |
|
And here I thought everyone knew not to do business with Joken.
|
|
sacmaster: Welcome. It's always good to have people that believe in morals and values on ARFCOM. Joeken has stolen, lied, and then (even worse) acted like he did nothing wrong. It's great to see you a resident of AR15.com. Welcome, and enjoy yourself here. We're basically family.
And some of them frequent here (sig line). |
|
|
Welcome. This should have been your home in the first place Though. |
|
AH. Good to know. they (Arsenal) had an AK74 variant underfolder that was very nice indeed. I really like the setup on it, first no-ban I've seen with a well done underfolder. |
|
|
we sure fight like familiy sometimes |

I am on my third account. Now I only go back for the classifieds.

It's your ISP that gets banned, not your email addy |

It was when the little Arsenal Inc/K-VAR spat was going on. A guy on there who loves SAM-7s was trying to persuade that discussion of Arsenal Inc should still be allowed, but he was being shot down by Bowhunt(IIRC). Anywhos I PMed him saying don't let the bastards bring you down, and referred him here and The High Road. Next time I logged on, nothing would load when I logged in with my name. |
|
|
Several people have told me that DimwiT was hacking the PM's over there.
He came down on people regarding things that had only been mentioned in PM's |
|
They ban your IP address. |
|
|
I am sure that I will be banned after this. Many of you know that I am VERY active here. I have had an account there for several years but I have only posted a handful of times, mostly I lurk and read. My handle there is the same as here and I KNOW dthor....he knows me as the whiny little bitch that started some of the worst days in his life.
|
|
Fuck those cockholsters!!
They banned me after three thousand posts because I got into it with Thornton. Welcome to the board !!! |
|
I just went over to sign-up to see what the deal is...but I noticed one of their main advertisers is Wolf Ammunition.....I wouldn't last but one or two post before being banned and I am a peaceful person.
