Take a look at this

They are all pretty similar aren't they - I'm a member of about 10 and there are only about three main formats. It hink it looks good.

it does look quite good, they'll have their work cut out competing with British Blades

That's true. They are well established...but do tend to ban loads of people. It gives everyone a choice I guess?!

It's not like the just "Ban people" most are, like this site, banned for very good reasons

 

[Big Mark]

They banned one top US dealer because his name was Stabber and wouldn't change it - even though his name is Stabber!? His website is Stabber and he is known throughout the world of knife as Stabber...but they still banned him wit no discussion....is that a good reason?

Yes, they asked him to follow their rules, and he would not. Simples yes Just as your new site has rules, From what I can see, most of the rules have been broken by some of your mods, on this and other sites and after many warnings then banned for it,
How is that going to look when, they start banning/warning people for doing the very same thing for which they were banned. Some of your new mods are proud of their truculent nature, even boastful of it.

Should be a good crack with Spam and Bernie at the helm

I've registered and it looks to have the makings of a great site.

 

[Leonidas]

Have registered too, site has promise.
Nice to get involved from the offset.

"Hi there

I'm The Blade Master.

I've set up UK Blades... a friendly, helpful forum - away from some of the daft politics and bitching you get on some other UK forums."

So how long before the bitching starts?

Reminds me of that lovely clip at the beginning of the Simpsons movie showing the short history of America starting with some idealists jumping on a boat and sailing away to a new land where they could escape repression and live the simple life. Good luck.

 

[sapper1]

Congratulations on your new site Robin,looking good.

I think you'll find the bitchin has already started.

 

[g4ghb]

sticking my neck out i'm pretty sure the site is not Robins - he was merely quoting

Blimey no nowt to do with me mate. I waste enough time visiting the few forums I do without trying to run one.

 

[Shewie]

I think it's Bernies isn't it ?

I'm sure it is Timbo1's (bigmark)

I find it easier not to worry about what other people or sites are doing, how their site is set up, what they post.

I have an easy solution, I have a look at the Site, if I find something I like, I read it, I may post a response and on occasion post one of my own.

I will then suscribe as I am interested in all things to do with Bushcraft.

If I find something that I do not like I stop reading and move on to another thread.

This goes for all forums I belong to.

I wish good fortune to this new endevour and continued sucess to all that I belong to.

I'm with you matey.

It's not a competition about which site is best, it's just another option. I've joined out of curiosity, like I joined here, if it's got nowt to offer me I won't bother with it.

Couldn't have said it better Cliff.

If there's a problem with another forum being mentioned take it to Tony and the mods and let them sort it out.

Don't have another witch hunt.

Do you have any evidence to support that claim? Please tadpole, don't be another of the cross forum slaters, we've all been there and done our bit to muddy the waters and frankly it is getting a bit boring. Why not join and post a few threads? You won't get any flak, you have my word on that. Unless it is something you start, then you will get on just fine. Seriously, come over and join the forum, what have you got to lose?

Also, let us not forget that this is Tonys' forum, squabbles about other forums should be taken to their respective forums and not be hosted elsewhere. I'm sure Tony wouldn't want this going on here, so try to keep things positive please.
