Seriously, good work playing catch up guys. That's at least something.

Well, we are trying to reach out and improve customer service. We are just making our way through the back log of voice mails now, but going forward, it will be a point of contact phone wise for people. That's one area that we have basically been totally non-existent in and it's something we are trying to rectify.
Our VM backlog was... huge to say the least.

I bet you can ship the voice-mail data to India and buy a Premium Support Package. I hear their PR is top-notch
This guy would be perfect for the job Inaba,he handles many different companies calls

I think its funny you get mad at all the trolls spamming these forums. How it is any different from you spamming the forums with all your advertisements? Haven't you in a way brought this on yourselves?
You and about 400 other people, Garr...
Anyway, for the record, Bitsnpieces is Frizz23, aka CptNemo, aka about 20 other accounts on the BFL forums. I'm sure he'll come back and say "No I'm not" - but since he is on a dynamic IP connection and he used the same IP on multiple accounts, it's highly unlikely that it was a different person. Especially when the same type of posts are made by brand new accounts from the same IP block allocated to Frizz's ISP. Frizz has migrated to using proxies now, but it's pretty easy to pick him out the minute he posts, since he can't conceal his writing style and odd turns of phrase that aren't very common.
So yes, Bitsnpieces was banned for having multiple accounts only to stir up trouble.

I can attest. I received a call from Dave about a voicemail from June. It was kinda nice that they didn't just drop it.

Well surely...
It's great that you guys actually have someone trying to communicate with people. Remarkably better PR than about a year ago
What are these calls actually supposed to accomplish though? (I do have a few chips on a Mini-Rig that need replacing, so at least the timing of the call was good
)
Inaba,
Having had to deal with Atlas over here, I totally understand your pain with trolls constantly making new accounts.

I'm trying to get all the common, simple questions into the FAQ. I certainly welcome any help on that front!
Just guessing.
Guessing ... well, that's one of the major annoyances on http://forums.butterflylabs.com/
There are so many bootlickers and wannabe BFL employes on there that it's hard to filter out accurate information in all those tons of useless comments.
So many speculations and guesswork.
I posted my question ("working prototype") hoping that a BFL official would respond - but got banned instead.
It seems the purpose of those forums is only mutual sugarcoating and backslapping - to bear with the constantly delayed delivery dates.
There's also a lot of information on that site as well. Unfortunately it's heavily embedded in forum threads and simple questions do seem hit a nerve.

Yes actually. I'd like a more refined estimate of power consumption numbers if available. Thank you for asking.
Today I got a call from Dave, BFL's new "Account Manager". I wasn't around to pick it up and will be calling him tomorrow. Does anyone have any questions for BFL aside from the generic "when"?
And has anyone else got a similar call?

But, have you been banned from BFL's forum too? Nooooo
In no small part because of that fact that I'm never actually on there. https://forums.butterflylabs.com/showthread.php/324-Photos-of-PCBs-cases-and-heatsinks/page4

Wait, what does that make me?
