Foffa Bikes

I think that would be a good compromise Wicksie. Nobody really wants all the ugly early personal stuff to be promoted (it doesn't make lfgss look good either, let's be honest), just objective discussion/criticism of the bikes. If they really have got their act together there will be very few posts like Nhat's and lots of 'happy customer' posts.

To be fair to Harry, I can see why he'd be peeved. BLB have had shit loads of criticism on here, but when it happens to another company it's pulled into the darknet. Everything else aside I can see how that could look to him.

I agree with that, what makes Foffa so special that they can duck a kicking? Fuck all, that's what...

A great reason why this thread shouldn't be in the darknet. People should be able to read Nhat's post. This was a month old bike - but apparently they've sorted their issues?

If Wicksie was loaned a free bike that's called a conflict of interest in my book. I'm with chris crash on this.

It's not a biggie but I would hope this forum would have higher standards tbh.

What would those who think it is right it's been moved in here say if an MP accepted a donation from a company then censored criticism of them in Parliament, I wonder?

Indeed A BIG conflict of interest.

You wouldn't let it lie, would you? This thread makes all the main contributors look like complete cunty wankers...

Me?
This stared by Velolibre going off on one. I'd much prefer this wasn't dragged up again as it's getting tedious. I can't be accountable for other peoples posts surely?

I've moved it out of Darknet. There is no need to drag this discussion up again, it's been done to death.

To be fair Wicksie I don't think it was an easy thread to moderate. Sometimes moderation can be a thankless task, everyone sees the power, unfortunately not so many see the responsibility!

We've discussed this already.
BLB have had a few posts saying that they're rude. IMO they've improved, maybe because it was brought to light here.
No one else has 15 pages of bitching that yields in Google searches.
The point is, the whole story will never get across because of the amount of waffle in between. People outside this forum won't get our special SOH so will skim and just pick out the bad bits that aren't relevant anymore.

I would have moved this thread regardless of whether Dani loaned me a bike or not. I removed a post about Hacked2 so as not to ruin his business. I don't think I dislike anyone more in this world, but he still doesn't deserve to have his business hurt by this forum. No one does unless they've done anything exceptionally bad or dangerous. They haven't and in fact they're listened to what you all said.

Fark it, now I'm late for work.

Rage Against The Machine in Finsbury Park are bloody loud. I'm a mile away and their bass player is making my knackers jiggle

:)

I'm laughing disturbed jealous ...well definitly smiling, on a pooey Monday morning now.

Another person with an inflated idea of the influence and specialness of this forum. Believe me, this forum isn't special, it is just as full of bitching, pedantry and weak puns as every other forum, and vice versa.

Fuck all this Darknet bollocks...

She meant 'Special"

S'not really and inflated idea about this forum. I do heart this place a lot, for all the bitchin and further abuse on PM's I'm receiving, but this forum does dominate Google, which is the all telling oracle to the world.

For the record, I have just threaten Hacked2 right back after I recommended that he didn't challenge Nhatt as one of the most respected and liked mechanics around.

Just to get this clear, I'm not a mod. You can move your own thread in the tools section.

But what you have done is compromised the DN what is read cannot be unread

Yup, what happened to 'the first rule'? :)

This thread's now back in 'General'

Wicksie, why the fuck do you bother? Seems like you're just fanning the flames for the sake of it to me...

Wicksie, why the fuck do you bother?

Entertainment of the masses?

Very true.

But then so is this.

Because the rants from Velolibre and Harry were directed at me. They asked me questions, this is a forum, I answered them.

Forum order has been restored..
