Just received a trophy at CPF! :-)

Get off your power trip?

Sorry?

Anyway, those who oppose love & light are the real losers, imho.

Cheers ^:)

Oooh! Maybe you forgot to add I also mentioned “a BLF mate”? LoL.

Cheers ^:)

And how dare you recommend something that isn’t Zebralight or Surefire! :wink:

They booted you out of their echo chamber!
How dare your first post recommend anything!
Referencing HKJ to enrich your covert battery sales!
:smiley: :laughing: :partying_face:

Lol didn’t know CPF was that bad. Have been a member there for a long time and had no problems but had heard lots of complaints from various other forums.

Looks like that guy who posted before you was also banned. Nine times. :smiley:

I was a member there for 8 years and didn’t find much useful.

Glad I found this forum and see lots of knowledgeable people here modding lights and programming circuit board and sharing their work which I learn heaps.

I’m sure u won’t miss a thing from CFP :smiley: hhaah

There’s only one thing I miss from CPF… the good old fellow members there but definitely not those dumb@ moderators especially that G :smiling_imp:

I haven’t been to CPF since they started stomping out budget lights many years ago, can’t even remember my user name.

Lol, if this place was like some of the less civilized forums I have visited I can imagine people creating accounts over there to suggest legitimate budget alternatives to their overpriced lights just to see how quickly they get banned. (I am NOT suggesting anyone actually do this though, no need to create unnecessary division even if it seems like it’s warranted)

You supposed to see that coming !

  1. BLF Member !
  2. Non "high branded" product !
  3. Honest opinion !
  4. Non CPF fanatic ! SO , GUILTY AS CHARGED !!! ( And a whisper in your years : " you LOST nothing !" )

JACKPOT!!!

Hahaa… :smiley: Date the ban will be lifted : NEVER! :rage:

Priceless!!! :smiley: :+1:

Wow. While the post and picture made me chuckle I can’t help but feel that is a pathetic bunch of people running that forum. Paranoid that you’re a shill, come on now.

I am not at all surprised that they were so unpleasant to you. The moderation is oppressive.

My guess is that you were seen as a threat to their advertisers and hence their income stream. Kerching!

Fellows, as I said in the opening post, I registered much earlier (early 2014) on that forum with the same nick I use here. Some months ago I logged in, without finding any relevant warnings. My account was disabled, though (not even able to edit my profile nor change anything).

Can't remember if I ever made a post there. Maybe, as a n00b, asked or said something “stupid” back then (like how cool is the Ultrafire SK98 flashlight, got one plus a chinese charger and a couple of LG 18650B4 batteries for ≈$20 back then). LoL!

Cheers ^:)

I think considering it a badge of honor is a good idea.
Date you’ll miss them: Never.
Date some people will unsaddle from their very high horse and stop acting like petty dictators: Never.
We’re glad you’re here.

Wow, cpf still up ? :smiley:

Vinh is the only one who makes it worthwhile to maintain an account there. Granted, he’s the exact opposite of budget, but he’s a good guy and he does really good work.

My .02c:

In my house I have my own rules too… You don’t follow my house rules and out you go.

Cpf, and Blf, and other forum, have rules too.

In my house I have my interests to nurture and protect, so does CPF and BLF.

In fact, I started on CPF, then here.

Rules are different in each house, but they will always be there, regardless how good, or not, they are to me.

Peaceful co-existence is not a bad idea, IMO.

I still lurk there, but thats about it. I miss the Bay area CPF get-togethers and night hikes though.

Whats up with this?
