Hmmmm. $50.00 for the “illustrious” privilege of shopping at CPF Marketplace for a whole 90 days? Nope. Not me. Even at $0.00 it wasn’t worth the hassle. Been there, done that. I bought several items from there in the past (when it rarely was up and running properly) and the thought of paying money for the privilege makes me cringe. How about some of you that have enough money to set fire to and not miss it, volunteer to test drive this “elite” and cleverly disguised as rational, “opportunity”. I await the results on pins and needles. No, not really! Not a hater - just saying.

I second that pic :bigsmile:

lol :bigsmile:

Wow… nobody… i mean, NOBODY…. made me feel so… privileged…? before ……. would….would you…. would you marry me….?

REALLY?!....I don't get it.....WHY?!.....WOULD?!......aww nevermind.

I bet some people toss some cash at this. Like the saying goes, a fool and his money are soon parted. Lol!

The fact that they would even put forth this makes me think even less of them over at CPF than I did before. I wasn’t sure that was possible but here it is.

See here is more of that obsessive stuff. You guys just can’t seem to stay away and always have to have at least one thread about CPF on the front page.

The CPF Shopping cart has been around for about 3 years. It’s old news. Here is the thread about it http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?237809-The-CPF-Shopping-Cart-is-now-OPEN!

no we don’t see, grunta

Been drinking the Koolaid, SheldonG? “See here is more of that obsessive stuff”. Really?? We have fun picking at C^F mainly because we CAN here and, they deserve it. Many of us here at BLF are refugees from the oppressive, boot on the neck, over controlling nonsense that is C^F. I dare you to go there and sing the praises of a $5 flashlight and foreign maker of said flashlight and then have the audacity to disagree (don’t even think of it) with the moderator/administrator when you get slapped down for being a know nothing, low brow. Don’t even think about informing the other members of your ‘find’ by posting a link (not allowed) to anything other than companies or custom makers that have already paid for the privilege of censored/exclusive advertising rights. Lets not forget about the infamous “red banner” and the silly a$$ “test” you have to pass just to make a first post. The whole site smacks of OCD smugness. I probably don’t need to mention how poorly the site is run. It’s down for repairs or maint. almost as much as it is up and running.
Before you get on me for not ‘getting it’ or not understanding what goes on overe there - I do. I own many, and I do mean many, high dollar custom lights along with far to many over priced Surefire lights (I love Surefire). I’ve been collecting lights for decades longer than C^F has been up and running and resent having some condecending snot (moderators, admins and the owner) take verbal pot shots at me and others simply because we showed an interest in a vendor they don’t approve of or we simply asked a question regarding one of the almighty moderator’s comments. Ban City is right around the corner if you do. I’m proud to say that I am “self banned”!
Yep, there quite a lot of interesting and knowledgeable members there (some are here now) and I have learned a lot from them over the years and even made a few friends there. That’s not the point though. Here, we have freedom to discuss all flashlights and manufacturers along with the occasional off color comment without fear of being taken to task for it. There, well, good luck with that.

I guess most took Kreisler’s post as some kind of ironic funny post on a BUDGET forum where most find ironic and funny paying just for their right to buy stuff… (i might be wrong, of course). I wouldn’t call it “obsessive”, no more than joining a so illustrious privileged shopping club. The only sad thing about the OP is the sad humiliated bird eyes. Shame on the photographer.
Until shown wrong, i prefer an open non-affiliated forum, with much less bias for sure.

@Kreisler: approximate lumens and runtime for that bird?

@Grunta

the shopping cart was new to me (and how would i know about the existence of the cited thread if i am permabanned on your forum??) and i was shocked so i thought of sharing my new discovery. nadamás.

Flaco, you got me right :) That bird?? here you go:

Oh, man… it took me almost 2 minutes to get it… (i have an excuse, i just came from German class and i’m braindead) …maybe i should be in another forum…. ;p

One of them called me a “Lacrosse cult family member” lol. BTW, I don”t even own a Lacrosse. I am still curious why those that
don”t like these threads keep BARGING in? I think I know (but its a secret hehe).
