BUYING CUSTOM STICKS
Don’t make threads requesting to buy a *custom *stick because stick builders have there own threads, they don’t go around looking for people wanting custom ones. Either look for the WTS and search or just go to the professionals that have there own threads already.

Hi MegamanDS.

Somebody put me on inactive. Too busy working on a job hunt.

Added.

Understood. You have been marked “inactive”

why is every link to these custom builder’s threads still broken? every time i click a custom builder’s thread link, i get a “page cannot be found” response from the srk website.
why still not fixed?
NiteWalker sent me a link to his thread through pms…and it worked …but these don’t. what’s up with that?

Or you could help by searching for the links yourself and posting them.

the links were up prior to the upgrade, something obviously must of changed the formats.

that’s not a bad idea actually :slight_smile:

Upgrade changed the format of the URLs.

You can try doing what I did for the list of tutorials at Tech Talk, got some good upstanding community members to help out to rebuild it.

ok, i’ll try to put up links to these custom builder’s threads.

Ya the upgrade changed all the links. I’m a bit busy now, but I will try to update them all by this weekend. (Finals at school)

oh ok, your gonna do it then. cool.
here is NiteWalker’s showcase thread anyway.

this one works…but for some strange reason it says “error you must be logged on to do this” when i already am. it opens in a new tab, then after i log in…then it takes me to nitewalker’s thread.

from what i see the numbers at the end of the link address is different along with what’s just after shoryuken.com/

UPDATE-
souji5 showcase thread:

Raoul Duke doesn’t seem to have a showcase thread…or at least i couldn’t find one…but here’s a showcase link for his work:

here is networkingyuppy’s showcase thread
http://www.shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/networkingyuppy-dual-triple-rj-45-mods-led-mod-ny.84355/

apparently, the cleaner updated the title of his OP…so since the old link is broken…i really can’t verify if the old link is this thread…but it seems like its his showcase thread. anyway, here it is.

showcase threads.
after that i think thats it. well except for the guy who’s on inactive status.

can anybody point me in the right direction to where I can get a happ perfect 360 joystick installed in my xbox 360 arcade stick? I live in Bakersfield, CA

Just an FYI I forgot to mention last time. Jamespoop is currently still in Korea, so I don’t think he’s free to do any customs at this point.

Types of sticks: japanese, american, Lazer printed Graphics
Average price: ~$200

Most of the links aren’t working. Probably the links were done before the site software change.

Any one know of a way to get ahold of Satek? I live in San Antonio, TX so meeting a Texan builder would be dope.
Would love to have a sweet Chun stick made and without having to spend $500. Any other builders in Texas I should know about?

(inner) peace y’all
