Yeah, I'd be curious too. I mean its not like they have cartridges filled, but perhaps some builders have circuits waiting to be jammed into them? (TWSS).

Especially when bands use it.

UNGGGGGGGGGGHFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF THIS

This band I know started a kickstarter asking for $6000 to go on a tour around TEXAS. JUST TEXAS. THEY LIVE IN ARLINGTON TEXAS. THREE OF THE DATES LISTED ARE IN THE DFW AREA. THEIR LONGEST DRIVE IS LESS THAN FIVE HOURS. ALSO DID I MENTION IT'S NOT CONCURRENT DATES, BUT A SERIES OF WEEKEND TOURS? SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS. ALSO KICKSTARTER IS FOR CREATING A PRODUCT. THIS IS SERIOUSLY NOT EVEN WITHIN TERMS OF USE FOR THIS SHIT.

But also, on on on on on on on

Not to sound like some oldtimer, but I remember back in O' Ten, when I placed a pre-order for a Console...good times. Well, when I got that refund and bought a Rat Tail. But yeah. Snax.

This band I know started a kickstarter for $1,000 to tour across the country. They made the goal, and did the tour.

It's all in how you use it,

What could forty grand do? Not like that could buy a car, or a bunch of computers, or pay an engineers salary for six months, or secure some parts or manufacturing or anything. I mean, it is only forty grand.

You made me LOL twice. I love you man. hahahahahaha

It's been almost a year exactly. It seems like Mellowtone was well out of the game by this time last year.

Someone should make some Mellowtone clones in cartridge form under the monicker "Mellowtone Murder Cartridges."

Yeah, I almost didn't post this thread, because I knew something like this would happen. Wasn't trying to attack anybody or express frustration or anything of the sort. I was simply curious and I had not seen a recent update (I had looked over at devi's site and her facebook page the day before) or seen anyone talking about it.

Is it ethical yet to ask someone to clone my singing tree?

I'd hate for something to happen to it without the possibility of a backup.

I backed a band called It's not night: it's space and I think their kick starter was only for $5k or $6k. Something low like that. They did it to pay for recording an album and releasing a cd/vinyl. I got the vinyl. I think that was a fine use of kickstarter, it was basically a presale to fund the recording and making of physical copies. Using it to raise 6k for a non concurrent tour of one state is bullshit. Especially if people still had to pay to get into the shows.

I like kickstarter and have used it to back a few things, but I have been very careful of what I have backed. I have seen the stories of backing something and then never seeing anything. The biggest problem I see with kickstarter is that a lot of people who would normally would not make a product or run a business, use the system. This is cool in that a bunch of new things can be put out.

But it also means that a bunch of people who have no idea on how to do shit, promise a bunch and have no idea on how to actually accomplish it. Because when you get down to it a kickstarter is like a mini business and if you have no idea on how to manage a business then you are kinda screwing yourself before you even start. Not knowing how to estimate costs of material, lengths of time for development or construction, costs for testing, etc.

I don't back Kickstarters unless they have something to show (an alpha build, prototype that sort of thing) and a proper deconstruction of exactly what the money is going towards. Anything less than that and I don't feel comfortable.

So if they don't finish/deliver the product, all the money is returned, right?

It was a pretty ambitious idea from the get-go, and honestly I'd love to see it get done, but considering the people involved I wouldn't be surprised if this never gets finished - just like I thought when the Kickstarter first went up.

Uhhhh, actually, not really. There's no guarantee there.
