Pepper-Head Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Has anyone heard from @PaulSonny ? I have had sparse communication and updates from him in a while, and have not heard from him in almost 2 months. If anyone could send him my way, I'd appreciate it!

PaulSonny Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hey Pepper! I've been working offline and didn't realise my Discord doesn't automatically open like my Skype does - i'll come find you now. Thanks, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper-Head Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Update: I have again lost contact with @PaulSonny Additionally I messaged him here on TGL yesterday, but Discord was supposed to be the best way to reach him. If anyone is in touch with him could you please send him my way, this code is crucial to my game's development and I have been waiting on it since the start of the year. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 @Pepper-Head I will try my best to get in contact with him, since I swear I have contact with him on somewhere other than here and Discord. I'll message you off-site if I do manage to get a response. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Design1online Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I last talked to him on the 10th and he was having some health and personal issues. I haven't heard from him since then. I hope he's okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricaneviolet Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I also was working with him and he went dark on me too. I PM'ed you with some other possible ways to contact him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judda Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I have had the same thing happen to me on several occasions sadly. I even paid him upfront because he was doing a lot of work for me trusting that I would see the code ... I have yet to see it (this was about a year ago now). I have limited to no faith that I will ever see that code which I paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofCrows Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I haven't heard from him for a while and have had several bouts of him disappearing and then briefly reappearing for almost six months now. From what I gather he has been having health issues...I do hope he is alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 @judda That's extremely sad that you didn't get the coding that you'd paid for, even a year on from it. I expected a lot better from Paul, hopefully when he comes back he'll address this as nobody deserves to be out of pocket for services they paid for.

Pepper-Head Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Has anyone since heard from Paul? It shows he was online about 3 hrs ago and wasn't sure if he was beginning to make his rounds to communicate clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofCrows Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I have not heard from him yet, no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucille Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) EDITED Paul has contacted me and we are working things out! Edited June 15, 2018 by Lucille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulSonny Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Hello; Apologies for not replying yesterday; I seen the messages but it was a fleeting visit and needed time to process; i'm actively communicating with everyone I need to today and doing my absolute best to catch up with everyone. If you don't hear from me, please reach out in case I've missed you out by accident. As already discussed, my personal and health issues have recently taken the better of me (again!) even making getting out of bed/to a computer difficult. These past 6 months have been a constant struggle which some of my clients know of but I'm feeling 100% better and hoping to get the all clear from the hospital on Monday morning. I'm sorry for everyone affected but I will do my best to remedy your inconveniences. Regards, Paul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper-Head Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Just wanted to bump this and see if anyone has gotten any response or work from @PaulSonny in the last two months? When he last reached out, he mentioned moving and trying to remedy all the owed work, but I haven't gotten any response since then. @Lucille @KingofCrows @hurricaneviolet @Design1online @Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofCrows Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The last time I heard from him was in June (and I've reached out since then with no luck). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucille Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I last heard from him in June as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper-Head Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Thank you both for letting me know! Sorry to hear that you haven't had any luck either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judda Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 June 15th was the only day I heard from him. I messaged him a little while later (June 23rd) and low and behold, he had vanished again. ~judda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper-Head Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) @judda The 15th is also the last day I had contact with him. His profile on here shows that his last visit was June 30th though.... But I'm sorry to hear that you've been without communication as well. Today marks two months later with no update... I hope he's alright but some kind of quick communication (at the very least) is really necessary at this point. I hope he does return to refund people.

Being Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I too have not heard from them in months. I hope it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricaneviolet Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Also June. I heard from him after this and he apologized and asked me to send the list of bugs again, so I did and then never heard from him again. I've already paid someone else to fix his bugs, so I haven't pursued it any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucille Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Still nothing from him. I've filed disputes with Paypal for $1200 worth of programming that has not been finished. When I started to look over the code and had another programmer look over it, I discovered there were several things not finished and that none of the changes to our avatar system are currently compatible with our existing admin panel. So far I've paid $100 to another programmer to have them just BEGIN to get the code finished. I'm so frustrated. Because I will admit, I owed him $300 and he said the work was done, but he wasn't going to release any of the changes until he was fully paid. So I put together a fundraiser and got him the remaining balance. Then, instead of finishing the work, he disappeared. I'm so frustrated and so done with this. My hope is that I'll be able to escalate the dispute to a claim, Paypal will refund me, and I'll be able to pay to have the work finished and made live. If I hear from him though, through this process, I will let everyone know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofCrows Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Still haven't heard since June and I'm stuck between concern for him and frustration that I've yet to see any sign of getting the refund for the work he wasn't able to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper-Head Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) I've found out that some of the projects he marked completed for me were also unfinished, buggy, or not fully set up to work as the guidelines listed. However, just based on my own situation and what I've heard from others, he wasn't always truthful about his progress. I wouldn't hold your breath on paying for the completed code if he returns @Lucille. It's likely that he was only partially started, if at all. Maybe when he didn't have as much on his plate he could catch up, but I think he just took on too more than he could handle and his health kept holding him back. Regardless, it looks like there are way too many projects large and small (more than who have posted here) to excuse this poor business practice. I wish him well and hate to sound so harsh, but there's no reason to have kept us in the dark for so long before just disappearing altogether with so much owed work left behind. I'm going to attempt to open a Paypal dispute as well. Edited October 14, 2018 by Pepper-Head 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
