I have been on forums for prob 15+ years and I have never seen a forum with as many problems. On top of that, the mods were and prob still are out of control and have been running off members. They ban some but many just get tired of the way the mods treat them. I am not banned but I found this place because I was tired of the power mad super nerd mods over there. They ran me off and now I only peek around there and once in a while make a smart ass comment.
I have noticed a pattern over there. More times then not, when the site is down, the banner ads still work. Might as well do some shopping while I wait for the site to come back up. One day I was looking at the site down notice & to kill time I clicked on a banner & it worked. I almost purchased a ‘high buck’ (had it in the cart) light but caught myself. Just saying Hmm.

Slashya/Grunta or whatever she calls herself now is clueless on how to run the site IMO. I wish someone would buy her out. It is a great place to do flashlight research on & I don’t post there. You criticize the advertisers there & you get told to post it in the Jeers section which most people probably never read. I know that I don’t.
I have been avoiding it for a long time. Recently looked in….
Some of those buyers must be insane.

CPF down! I dont care.
CPF is down? What’s new? 
This is twice in one month I believe… an certainly 3-4 times in 2 months. I didn’t really believe it until I experienced this myself.
“If I paid to advertise there, I’d be LIVID at the amount of downtime”
Yes. 100%.
For the price of just one advertiser, the site can be hosted at a provider with an actual SLA. It doesn’t make any sense.
CPF pics :bigsmile:
No, not good. Those things NEVER go down unless you trip over the power cable 
Exactly my thoughts, it makes no sense at all…
Glad I found this place after googling why CPF was down. What a mess that place was/is…
Hello everyone!
Mabey Grunta’s too busy giving BJflasher a tacticool lap dance to keep the site up today?
Welcome to blf, wattsthematter!
Welcome to the Better Light Forum, wattsthematter! You'll love being here!
Welcome to the BLF, wattsthematter !
now THAT’s what I call a warm forum welcome!
It’s a shame that so much information (well there used to be a ton of it & there still is a lot), isn’t available when you need it. Every time I am looking for an answer, I usually find answers there, before I find them anywhere else. I do hope that someone else does take it over some day. Someone who will keep it afloat. I know that there will never be another place with that much good information on it.
Sad to see it abused the way it is, by not being available for days on end.
