I have no idea what you guys are talking about but I feel like there is some hidden animosity toward CPF. Maybe it’s their my way or the highway admins?
Both are good communities. Neither are perfect. I’m happy to participate in both for different reasons.
That said, the less moderated policies here seem more conducive to group buys of in-development products.
The other forum has fairly strict policies for commercial activities, and the normal policies for group buys is that purchases are made through the group buy organizer. That might not work with BLF-style projects, but if there were questions about whether a group buy list could be started over there for this project, I think it would be wise to discuss it with one of their admins before posting.
Not sure, but I think someone posted about starting a list on CPF. Then the post got deleted. Folks are still talking about it. That’s just a sort of educated guess, not sure if it matches reality.
I will say maintaining a list is not trivial. Maintaining two lists would be a real PITA.
Haven’t been on here in a while, and it’s nice to see the progress made. Awesome looking lantern. Really appreciate all the work that’s gone into the development from all involved.
it was just a mention off CPF interests in the lantern, but I will only focus on this one here. If any of their members want on the group buy they need to come here.
