Clone bashing = knocking people for using them

Crap clone put a review in the review section and say why its rubbish

So it's to become us V them....Certain sections where you're not allowed as your opinion isn't allowed to be voiced sounds like censorship to me...
There was no reason that those who want to talk about "originals" couldn't talk about them everywhere else on the forum openly and possibly even convert some of us to buying originals...But by having their own section where they can flaunt their kit to each other away from "the great unwashed" smacks of elitism to me....

Where has it been stated that you cant talk about originals in other parts of the forum, anywhere in this thread, where does it say you cant talk about clones (Other than in the new section??). Where does it say you cant give negative reviews about clones bought???

Its just simply an area, where people can talk about bits of kit they have/want without the ususal, I will wait for the clone or talk about FT, that is all!

In return, all I have asked is that people are not moaned at for using clones, that is all!

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!

Low blow fella, the money used for that raffle is going to a very worthy cause and the items have been very kindly offered up, Sam would be an idiot to turn them down because they're clones.

I think the point here, made in a way you didn't appreciate granted, was that segregation is not what POTV is about... Make a place for people to talk about originals, make a place for people to talk about clones, but stopping interaction between people who have different opinions is just not POTV!

Personally couldn't give a fuck who says what to whom, clones, original, do what you want buy what you want it ain't my money. But this place has always encouraged discussion and debate and is richer for it...

OH FFS you guys, seriously??


Are you seriously doing this?

Just because we put up a subforum up doesnt mean you HAVE TO POST IN IT.


I think the clone bashing and Ill be honest here, is in regards to the ones who talk about their clone then the rare occasion happens and someone comes along and tries to make that person feel inferior for HAVING the fucking clone in the first place. Those kinds of posts scream "childish" in my eyes.



The POINT of having a sub forum for original talk only is so that the people who like the Originals have a "clone free" place where they can talk about all the lovely beautiful original mods that come out, without the BS comments about clone this clone that, fasttech has this has that. Id like to point out that some people think "we need to address the clone issue" and we did, by giving people who WANT to talk about originals a place to do it and not have the thread watered down with clone talk.

If you dont want to post there, then dont.

If you want to buy a clone, then do it.

If you don't like something we did, hit the log off button and leave.
ElsaBubs your outbursts have relatively been mild and are by no means a bannable offense but youre flying off the deep end for no apparent reason other than you think we are trying to stop you from having an opinion and I think you say a fair share of pretty rancid shit from time to time without ANY interference by our Mod team. So work out whatever bug crawled up your ass and chill out.

Christ you'd think we just banned clones on the forum instead of giving Original Mods a well deserved place on the forum.

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

i will give you another situation not all originals are as original as they are supposed to be so then you could in all good faith buy said original to find out that some of the DNA is a clone!

now if we have an original specialist part of the forum this could be avoided maybe????

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.

And that, is exactly what it is

its not somewhere to hide it's simply somewhere to discuss a topic, like the mixing forum and the rebuilds forum. Nothing more sinister than that.

i personally didn't know about this forum till 30 minutes ago. My initial thoughts were oh great idea. Somewhere for discussion of originals. I'm surprised anyone thinks otherwise to be honest.

Surely it's no different to the pinoy group?

By the way that's not a go at anyone or anything, just stating what I saw as the idea behind the group

andy1971 What I'm trying to say is my personal opinion.....It's not my place to tell mods or admin how to run the forum, but by "Segregating" different Types of "vaper" then it certainly to me at least of censorship/elitism....originals and clones can be talked about everywhere else on the forum, but you can't talk about clones in the big boys section.....sound more like ukv than the planet...
personally I think it's a bad move....but then again, who am I to give an opinion....
