Marky Mark refers to Mark Wahlberg not Zuckerberg
Not in my reference. Mark Wahlberg is Dirk Diggler. 
Someday I might post a review of my truck lights. I have 12 illegal light bars and 2 legal rigid fog lights. Those mods would probably permaban me lmfao.
Virgil and Allaric or whatever would literally have a coronary.
usually no…
Ive modded (supermod) on mtbr.com
That site is HUGE with a ton of traffic….I am dormant there for a few years, but there was never pay.
one mod was a rep for Niner and offered any mod team member, a bike a cost, and Gregg the owener(he has since sold the site) would offer mods mfr swag they accumulated.
things like socks, shirts or other minor items…
I’m getting mails from CPF alerting me to new posts; I haven’t been active on there in years.
I "was" a member of CPF, but no longer. It appears my login details have been removed from there by them, possibly because I hadn't logged in there for a few years or so?
I have noticed a change in the way CPF handles images
they now take images I upload, and automatically replace them with a thumbnail (small image).
the full size image is only available IF logged in to CPF
iow, CPF is appropriating images and hosting them on their own site
this fits with the objective of CPF to limit info sharing to people who are members…
CPF wont show full size images anymore, unless the viewer is a logged in member
my reaction is to stop posting,
since my pics are not being shown in the size I posted, and my pictures are being appropriated and loaded onto CPF servers, automatically… (no longer optional)
They’ve always had nutty rules, I guess it’s continuing?

And what the hell is with that new “airing out HDS’s dirty laundry” thread of pure dogpiling? No forum with sane moderation that I’ve ever been a part of would allow this, it would be shut down on sight.
Wow, one more reason to avoid CPF. 
How tiny are the thumbnails?
Who is HDS and why would they air dirty laundry ?
Iunno, ask that Hogokanshakalaka guy that’s working full-time as a launderer
As i recall in Japan many years ago they had ATMs that would wash money so it would be clean.
In retrospect hat would have been great for covid.
Couldn’t you just link to say a gallery on Imgur? No thumbnails, but non-members could just open the link and view the images. Or would that not be allowed?
dont know… but defeats my purpose, which is to share free info…
I do use gallery links on Reddit cause I cant post pics inline
I was about to try posting an imgur gallery link on CPF, by editing an existing post, but it seems editing is no longer possible… on a 1 week old post…
seems CPF really wants to own my posts, and does not want to let me change them…
here is a link to a FWAA gallery of mine
https://imgur.com/a/FmR9Qje
but I prefer to post pics in thread… more effective than a link… people dont click links much
fwiw, in my old CPF posts, pics are still there, inline and full size
what CPF is doing now, follows the change in ownership and web software… designed to deliver targetted ads, and to create a proprietary database of flashlight info, sales prices, and images…
fwiw, the new owner has been a CPF member since 2005… I dont expect a change in culture, nor moderators… as you can see from Hogos laundry confrontations, with the support of several of the moderators.
that is something that has always seemed wrong to me, when CPF moderators pile on in a thread, to attack a member they disagree with.
it only started to make sense when I realized they are in it for the money
CPF mods protect the vendors and advertisers from negative comments by individual consumers.
the new website changes are designed to monetize info posted there
That’s not unique to CPF.
A lot of forums only display the full-sized or original images that they host to members who are logged in. TLF, for instance.
CPF can be critiqued for many things, but that is not one of them.
I haven’t been on CPF in years, but I was active there for a long time and never had serious trouble with the mods. I dropped away after getting less interested in lights for personal and financial reasons, and feeling like the pace of interesting developments had slowed down. It’s interesting that the modder scene seems to have mostly moved from there to here. Anyway I have no idea how much money Greta got for the sale, but I hope it was a lot, and I wish her the best.
Using [ img ] [ / img ] tags works just fine and they are posted full size. I see no issue with making the pics uploaded to their server just a thumbnail. If members click on them it will opens to full size. If you want to see them full size and not a member, sign up. It’s free.
