Ladies & Gentlemen.......

Whats the point here, this is the ONLY part of the forum where clone talk is NOT allowed. You can talk about it everywhere else, its giving something back to the members who prefer originals.

exactly Blackhack. this move has hurt me.
i love this place and the people on it.
i am members on two other forums but barely use them, my post count is under 50 on both because they are just not the same as this place.
the community and friendship is what makes it what is is. this move could possibly ruin that.

and i am sorry AndyC1971 that you do not agree. you are entitled to your opinion as am i.
my opinion of you doesn't change/lessen because you disagree with me, because we are people and we all have different opinions.
thats life.

anyway, maybe i did go on a little bit in that last post and type more than was needed. but i am sure if you look at it from both sides, and then from a neutral perspective you will see where i am coming from.

seriously? this is ridiculous.
did north korea just buy the forum?
we are not allowed opinions anymore?
its bad enough that i am not allowed to post an opinion of a vendor i dont like, but now i cant have opinions on clones either?
the extremists are shipped off to guantanamo?
OR does this mean there will be a section where only clone stuff lives and the rest of the forum is completely empty?

i cant help but think there is a conspiracy here somewhere.
money quite possibly?

seems a bit unfair on the high end users that financially support the guys that come up with the ideas and creations that then get ripped off and mass produced by fastech and the like for the rest of you to enjoy.

well, i guess i'll be getting a ban soon. it was nice knowing you all.

i will try my best not to give my opinions. but if a forum stops people from voicing their opinions it is no longer a forum is it?

A sub forum dedicated to originals, with restrictions on mentioning clones might actually turn out to be enjoyable for you.

It would at least stop dizzy bints like me chiming in with comments like "it looks awesome, but I'd stiil by the clone version" or other such inanities. In that essence, it's a kind of safe haven I suppose.

Why not give it a chance and see if you enjoy it?

Clone vs. original debates inevitably spiral down.

I don't think the intention of this is to silence opinion but give it a place. We all have different opinions and rub up alongside each other nicely, most of the time.

I don't think this is a big deal, it's an area that's easy to find and is focussed on an interest some of us share.

I think this was the intention. Neither is it compulsory to only post there. Guantanamo? Its nothing like Spain

I don't think this is about stopping people from having opinions more so to avoid the endless clone vs originals debates that happen.

Not trying to stop anyone posting their opinions regarding originals on the main forum, more just giving people who want to talk genuine gear a place to do so.

I for one will use it and hope others do.

I have noticed a number of long term clone users moving to originals lately which justifies this forum and surely can only be a good thing inspired by the "elitists"

Well I for one will miss the Banter with Elsie concerning clones he always gives me a right laugh!!!

Think this needs clarification

"In return, can we please ask for 'clone bashing' to cease on the remainder of the forum."

Does it mean if I buy a crap clone I can't say so?

Totally disagree, but that is my right to. Some of your wording is down right shocking if I am honest, to associate this place to North Korea, accusations of money being involved etc.

All I have asked is that clone bashing is stopped on the remainder of the forum. Surely your stance on this is dictatorial and somewhat hypocritical, seeing that your raffle is littered with these 'creations that then get ripped off and mass produced by fastech and the like for the rest of you to enjoy'. - Your words not mine!

I don't have a problem with this I own clones and originals the clone falls apart (more often than not) I buy an original. My main problem with originals is they are so bloody hard to get hold of

no it means if someone else buys a crap clone you cant say so
