He ain't refunding a dime.

Hopefully he'll get some more bandwidth. Any statement on this? I really wanna watch it, but don't wanna get it if it freezes. Has Camp flex been mum on the subject today?

He's probably hoping last-minute ~~suckers~~ customers miss the negative threads about it until after they buy.

Yet another bodybuilding scam.

As if Flex Wheeler has a clue about what's going on.

I feel sorry for you suckers that paid, but you should have known it would fail.

"We are connecting to another higher capacity line in the Orleans" lol what a joke.

Ronnie gets dethrowned and we miss out because you pieces of shit want to run it through webcast. Nice fucking work

Lift Studios · « **Reply #57 on:** September 30, 2006, 10:47:45 PM »

It wasn't a bandwidth issue, it was the line from the Orleans to the truck that went down. I learned of this midway through the webcast last night and asked if it was a bandwidth issue. It was an issue with the line from the Orleans, so who's fault it was has yet to be answered.

I was completely unable to get any the webcast last night. Not one iota.

All I got for my $24 was a skipping freezing prejudging and a small section of the women's. After Jen Hendershot routine that was it for me with the webcast. I was never able to view more.

Really?

Finals worked flawlessly for me at 500k last night. Best O production in years. Still some goof ups, but it is bodybuilding. Wouldn't be the same without it. lol

Hardbody redeemed themselves last night. Sorry to hear you still had issues CQ

Who cares whether with was a bandwith issue, or the line from the truck went down, or their was a power outage, or whatever -- no excuses are acceptable. Flex Wheeler was involved in this business only because they needed a "Name" to help promote it.

It is BODYBUILDING -- the IFBB -- WEIDER -- they can't do anything right. Period.

If ABC lost its feed from the Ohio State-Iowa game last night and millions of viewers could not see it, do you think the network would be in business very long doing that all the time? No. They can't afford to fuck it up so they get it right or they will be out of business. Bodybuilding is different. It's got a small audience, which they can fuck with.

Jeez Lift what happened. Maybe I should take the fault of it. You know how FedEx is. Maybe I was the reason for this too. Man, I can't believe anything happened like this at an IFBB show.

Maybe it was the ninjas who cut the line?

Which night did the line go down?

People had problems both nights. On the first night, the engineers assures everyone that it was Embarq's fault. Was it Embarq's fault both nights? Why wasn't the problem diagnosed and fixed after Fri night?

I have read that it wasn't a bandwidth issue, but rather a line going out to the truck that went out somehow.. no probs on the second night for me

CQ · « **Reply #65 on:** October 01, 2006, 05:40:40 PM »

Okay, this will probably sound really dumb as I don't know anything about webcasts but a question here...

So far I have spoken with 2 other people who had the exact same issue as me....as in got zero feed on Sat night. Nothing at all. Not one shred of coverage.

They are both from this region [West Indies/Central America].

Co-incidence?

War-Horse · « **Reply #66 on:** October 01, 2006, 07:31:53 PM »

So as i gather....Flex wont re-imburse on the web-cast, and Vic Martinez is still seliing memberships to his gym on post-it notes......nice world we live in.

Bigger Business · « **Reply #67 on:** October 01, 2006, 07:37:38 PM »

Please send me a free copy of the DVD as reimbursement

Ken,

Curious now, how you as a professed Christian, intend to handle all of the complaints and requests for refunds that have been voiced? I hope you do the right thing. Both in this matter, and the one I private messaged you about.

No, Flex is not going to do a "private posing" session for you.

It has nothing to do with the IFBB. It was the hotel to the truck. Why do you feel the need to make everything an anti IFBB thread?

It happened on Friday night, at least that is when my sources informed me about it. I was told that it was an issue with the company that provides the line from the hotel to the truck and they were refusing to fix it until the next day. I will see if I can find an answer for ya as I don't know the full story. I do know I'd be pissed if I had to watch it on the 100k feed or paid and wasn't able to view it at all.

Don't shoot the messenger Keith. I had nothing to do with the show's production, webcast or otherwise. I am simply reporting on it.

Cool. I wanted to get it but was scared off by people warning. I hope flex addresses it, at least to apologize and maybe offer to mail any offended parties an autographed photo or something nice.

something nice would be the 25 bucks they paid,or however much it was.
