That is so weird, if I am reading this correctly, Boarders was a service that made pledges for you? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. :/

I am not sure the reason. It showed they fulfilled some of their obligations. I recognized some of the known pledges. Maybe laziness in production or something. I just posted this to be informed, myself wasn't too worried

From what I gathered, Boarders was some sort of boardgame cafe or FLGS in Malaysia, where the shipping costs for getting pledges was crazy expensive. So the service they offered was - "Give your money to us and the store will do a big retailer pledge, then everybody will save on shipping by having it arrive at our shop. Once the stuff is here, we'll break out the individual pledges and you can pick it up from us."
It sounds reasonable. I've heard of retail pledges where people at an FLGS combine their orders into one giant pledge. Apparently the service worked correctly for a while, but eventually the shop just got sloppy and didn't even bother to make the pledges like they said they would and they just walked away with the money.
