Give them some time, and just be happy that they halted trading so others could not take advantage of this IPO. Here are some links from March 3rd that back up what you are saying, but the still need time to verify this stuff and make sure it is accurate. That IPO ended on a Friday, so unless you expect them to work during the weekend, then you just need to be patient and wait. Also asking nicely never hurt either, your way of putting it was rather rude. You should think about what it is you really want to accomplish before you speak next time. There was no please or anything, like you are just bossing them around. I would make you wait too at this point.

I think Taylor said that if the ruling exceeded the date it would pay out short.
Growler30, you need to STFU and lurk moar, and then you'd see it's customary in these forums to post when something hasn't been paid yet.
We don't need lessons on netiquette, or explanations of how the game works.
If you're trolling, you're succeeding admirably.

Look m_novotny, I do believe you are the troll here. I am simply voicing my opinion here in a thread I am entitled to because not only am I a member here, but I am holding shares in this IPO and waiting for them to pay out as well. I am asking you nicely to please cease and desist all chat directed at me or about me in anyway unless you have something informative or nice to say. Furthermore if you continue to post negative comments directed at me in any and all threads I post in I will report you, not necessarily just to PS but to my ISP and others as well, for, what is considered to be, a form of internet stalking and harassment. I never engaged in any inappropriate comments to you, and after you said something that I did not understand your reasoning, I made fun of it in a post, I had every right to considering your post was directed at me, and I even commented on the bottom of the post-
"m_novotny- I in know way was trying to insult you, just having a little fun with what YOU said, so PLEASE do not take it the WRONG way. If you do, then I am sorry you care so much what other people say about you, but I really did not mean anything foul by it."
So I do not see why you are being such a prick to me now when I never did anything to you so like I said do not say anything to me or about me and just leave it here. Thanks,
Also, I emailed Taylor over you comment about why you thought I would be "Banned" and she explained everything to me. Your intuition was wrong, I was never at anytime in danger of being banned.

Growler30 - If I were you, save yourself now and do not get into a war of words with m_novotny. He has been here since the beginning and is one of the most respected members of this community. Many noobs have come in here and tried to take him on and the outcome was not pretty.
Let's just say he tells things the way it is and most of us agree with but just don't have the guts to write it down.
By the way, your post sounds just like sir-repetitious post complaining about you. Pot....Kettle....Black. You get the picture.
Last word of advice is to go to ppxchat.com and engage him in the chatroom, I believe you will have a different opinion when you are done.
Ooh, wow. Two posts in two threads and all of the sudden I'm a stalker. What does that make you, since you continually "harassed" sir_repititious? Go ahead, report me to your ISP. Unless you live in my city, there's not a damn thing they can do about it. Do it, report me. There's no pattern of stalking here.
Also, I'm sorry that you care that much about what people think of you. Maybe if you're less of a prick on the forums, people will like you better, and be less likely to by "prickly" at you. Karma, etc.
Also, I already forgot about that other post of yours, this isn't about that, don't flatter yourself.
And yeah, Captain Obvious to the rescue... my intuition was obviously wrong because you're still here, spewing crap.
now now girls. how about u 2 thinkin about gettin a room?

Growler30: The post was done on Monday around lunch time. Enough time to press a button. If you think you are just going to brown-nose your way to the top by licking the brown hole of the people in charge got for it, it may work for you (and it seems to works in this world nowdays). I choose to say or remind people the way I want to. Basically you know what I'm saying.

Woah! Guys, I had to tend to the site in a big way over the last couple of weeks-- as you can see, PopSci.com's gotten a little makeover, and as some of you know our team here has recently shrunk, so there's a lot to do. BUT I love you PPXers and you are back on the high-priority end of things for good. I've tried to keep the props paying out etc.-- and I've just asked for AARGH to pay-- so that should happen tonight.
As for site etiquette--- be nice to each other. Be patient with each other, too, and always give each other the benefit of the doubt, okay?? And don't be annoying to your PPX peers. SHEESH.
Love,
t
speaking of stalkers...
