Just received a trophy at CPF! :-)

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

Sooo, after briefly taking another peek at the LiitoKala 26650-50A+Bs review at CandlePuckerForums, I decided to post here: Best 14500 batteries

I had to re-register, my old account was disabled for unknown reasons, or I can't remember what happened, yet my suspicion now is related with what goes forward.

Summary of my answer:

  • An HKJ's tests discharge curve for the Windyfire IMR14500s.
  • A link to Windyfire's site: http://www.windyfire.com/windyfire-imr.html
  • A mention about a BLF mate who got an $5.35 shipping quote for three button top IMR14500s.

Clicked “submit” (or whatever), and got a message telling me my post first had to undergo moderator approval…

A while later, I came back to the site, and look at what I found (along with a pic of my exultant face):

WINNER!

Haven't received my paycheck yet, though.

Cheers fellows ^:)

Well shoot, I could’ve told you that would be banned. Outside links AND prices???

Get off your power trip

3

And Chinese sounding brands!? How dare you!!!

4

Get off your power trip?

Sorry?

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

Cheers ^:)

5

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

Cheers ^:)

6

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

7

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.

9

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

10

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

11

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:

12

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)

13

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 !" )
14

JACKPOT!!!

15

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

Priceless!!! :smiley: :+1:

16

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.

17

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!

18

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 ^:)

19

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:
