The OFFICIAL Hightimes Ad Thread

[MBA]

whats going on here?

That's a great question~~ Now I know I'm not the only one who is curious to know the answer too.

 

[fortilite]

1st

Nope, everything is fine. It is gonna be circulated on the 11th (or 14th depending on where you live)

2nd

Everything is not fine as there is NO RON PAUL AD in the latest issue of High Times.

3rd

It's not even out yet. Where did you get the latest one?

4th

Barnes and Noble. High Times is a local rag for me and in it, it is says Next issue, March 22nd...

5th

So yours is the March one? That's the one it's in, and it's getting released on the 11th.

6th

No, it's the February Issue, and you said it was going to be in the January Issue with the chipin.

I will check back in a week to see if there is any change... but seriously man, this was very deceptive.

7th

Fuck you, you aren't even talking about the right issue. The January issue was released 2 months ago. The February issue was released last month. Do some fucking research before you give anyone any shit.

There's our conversation today. I have told this %#$# multiple times it is labeled the MARCH issue and is coming out on the 11th but this guy keeps harrassing me about the february issue. Who is the childish one? MBA is repeatedly PMing me about the WRONG issue and he never listens when I tell him it's on the 11th and is labeled the march issue. Face it MBA, you're just a dummy.

Keep in mind these exchanges with him today weren't the first ones I had with him about this issue. He has to have been told at least 5 times already.

WTF? I'm harassing you when I ask where the ad is when you yourself said...

If we miss our deadline we will refund all donations. There is little point in using them for an ad in the February issue, January is what we need to get people registered in time.

Now it's going to be in a March issue? and I'm the dummy?

 

[fortilite]

For the 6th time: The March issue comes out on the 11th of JANUARY.

And you are now on ignore.

Another waste of grassroot money - people who read hightimes might smoke alot of weed and blog but they are as hell don't vote.

LOL, neither do people in Wyoming appearantly.

 

[MBA]

That's not true at all RPSignbomb... Many of the people I know that read High Times are very supportive and involved in the political process.

What pisses me off about this is the outright deception.

In fact I'd even go so far as to call it FRAUDULENT.

 

[MayTheRonBeWithYou]

That ad looks fantasic. Great job!

I vote.
I also voted for Carter, because he was going to decriminalize Marijuana.
I had the same hope with Clinton, the first time around.
Can you say "Broken Promise".

 

[jahazii]

Well from my understanding this issue comes out within a week or two so no reason to get upset.

 

[Sey.Naci]

I'm with fortilite. MBA et al should damn well stop the harrassment, because that's what it has become.

A) Anyone who knows anything about magazine publishing knows that issues go into production AT LEAST two months before they are intended to hit the shelves.

B) All but magazines with the lowest subscription numbers will have their MARCH issues out this month, January. Check the damn shelves yourselves!

This means that if you want an ad placed in a major or mid-size magazine, e.g., and you start negotiations and production of the ad today, you cannot expect to see it in print until at least March, more likely April and the issue will be marked May or June, respectively.

Therefore, fortilite COULD NOT HAVE been negotiating to place an ad for "the January issue," since that issue would already have been on the shelves in NOVEMBER 2007! That he may have innocently misspoken is ALL that he is guilty of - and when have any of us not done that?

It can be confusing for people who have never done this before. But fortilite is right that the March issue will in on the shelves soon. Watch for it within the next ten days.

 

[slamhead]

Good Job Guys!!

 

[MBA]

What harassment?

I've been called a dummy and told to fuck off when asking about the status of the ad that I contributed funds to which was "sold" as appearing in the January issue...

You want to call it an "innocent mistake" that's fine.

Even in your post Sey, you acknowledge that there was no way this was getting in the January issue, and that's what the root of my issue with this is...the "deception" is what's wrong with this picture and the subsequent insults and the audacity of telling a contributor to fuck off..

Im just catching up on this now. Did anyone get the March issue yet?

The head shops in San Antonio are promoting RP more than any other businesses around. They ALL have 4' x 8' signs displayed. They are distributing a ton of literature, bumper stickers, etc. for us. Your statement is completely ignorant.

I'm waiting 'til tomorrow, the 16th to head back over to the Barnes and Nobel to see if there is in fact a different issue...
