Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

I don't mean we should have a public tally of any kind. It was just nice to go through your rep'd posts and see who rep'd and if there were comments left. Often I will revisit a review thread after many months to find new reps and comments in the reps. It would be nice to be able to do this for all rep'd posts, not just ones you can remember to look at occasionally.


I get emails any time someone reps a post. That makes it easy to see and read the comments in them

Exactly. That's a great balance: rep is displayed subtly in the interface but not with cumulative stats anywhere, and it sends clear positive feedback to the recipient. You know that by hitting that thumb, that person is going to get a nice email. That's all it needs to be.

  Why is there a priority mail sticker on it and a fedex ground sticker? Looks like it may just be a repurposed box, nothing to see here, move along..

 
i was surprised to see a Schiit box in the wild, and was able to identify it immediately. that is all :)

Same as Maxvla - I've never been notified (and I do occasionally get rep, believe it or not :D)

:confused:

A variation, when I first signed up I received emails for each "rep" and what was said, subscribed thread updates, then they stopped coming. I didn't change anything, so I don't understand why they stopped?!?

  In case nobody believes Justin's "nothing to see here" story, that box looks way too small to be a Ragnarok. Most likely one of the Asgard-sized products.


It's definitely bigger than an asgard/bifrost/valhalla/lyr sized box, I am looking at one right now 3 feet from me for comparison that my bifrost came in. This box looks bigger, I wont speculate anything though, but in case this wasn't already mentioned earlier on theres a chapter coming up in just 3 weeks that is all about ragnarok. And considering that it most likely is not THAT far off from release (as in I would be surprised if it's another 6+ months out) then I always had a feeling that chapter would correlate closely to it's release, since this whole story is chronological, and that chapter according to the title chronicles the story of ragnarok until present day. But that doesnt mean anything either lol. Just sayin. when it comes it comes.

Well, it's pretty easy to estimate the size of that box. The standard FedEx label on the adjacent-left package is 6" tall. The standard USPS Priority Mail sticker on the Schiit box is 3" wide, as is the Schiit logo printed on the box if it's the same as the one on my Mjolnir box. Using the two stickers and printed logo to estimate, that box is very likely to be the common size of 12x12x6, which wouldn't fit the Ragnarok even with zero padding. (Not to mention the inefficiency in shipping the rectangular Ragnarok in a square box.)
 
The release date has slipped substantially since the chapters began as they've had unexpected delays. The story timing is likely just a coincidence. It wouldn't surprise me if they started taking Ragnarok orders this week or next.
