Seriously? Budget light subforum missing from CPF?

OK, I looked really good, did a search on the site, and apparently CPF has removed their budget light sub-forum. When did this happen? I recall it being there last week.

I am not surprised if the decision was made to remove it, since pretty much zero of the brands discussed in that sub-forum were sponsors or contributors to CPF as a whole (read to mean: they didn’t make any money for the forum owner(s)).

Has anyone else noticed this? I would tend to think that this would cause a small-medium influx of new or returning members to this site (which is much better in terms of discussing budget/value/inexpensive lights).

They mainly focus on discussions that are more profitable to the board’s owner.

This happened once before but they put it back...don't tell me they did it again.. J)

Well hell, just checked and its back...crazy

I just looked now, and refreshed the page… I don’t see it on my computer/web browser… but the CPF app does still have it.

It’s there.

For some reason I have to be actually signed on to CPF to see the budget subforum though. I don’t think I can see it if I sign out.

Yep, that was it. New laptop, no saved credentials. So I was not yet logged in.

So strange that of all the forums they have, the Budget Forum is the one that is not view-able unless logged in. I wonder if they are trying to make it non-searchable by non-members… since I am sure they want to limit the activity and popularity of that forum and its contents.

I believe you are spot on. One of their mods even terminated a discussion thread when our BLF A6 busted out and made history. It was sending cpf traffic over here..hahahhah Said it needed to go to a DEALER thread...yeh, right Just goes to show ya.

I was just reading through that thread today about the BLF A6, - then found Greta’s take-over reply closing the post with her iron-fist in a nazi fashion, sneering over the thread like a banshee.

Nazi isn’t the word i would have used though probably kinder than what I was thinking.

Their traffic is declining.

I found this forum through that one :slight_smile:

It’s a vision thing……you can’t find the budget forum there unless you tilt your head back, point your nose in the air and sneer. Give a haughty downward glance and there it is!

But for crying out loud, don’t let it be known you peeked! :blush:

Yes, please don’t compare Nazis and Greta. It’s unfair to Nazis.

Well, he said “in a Nazi fashion” so maybe he was saying that she was being particularly nice that day?

+1

To be honest, I visit CPF like once per month at max and I’m on BLF daily normally :slight_smile:
