I been trying to stay outta this one but i just can't anymore.First i will say this board has gotten out of whack. It's watered down with sponsors and watered down with some people that are just plain morons who like to start shit. No secret that this can be a dirty game but it has gotten out of control. There are some pretty dirty tactics used by sponsors nowadays to try and make other look bad instead of working hard to make themselves look good. Its one thing to hold a sale but a different thing to have new accounts made up slinging shit and bullshit about others. The main sources on here are just that the main sources and they have been that for a reason. They have weathered the storm and treated people right. Those are the MLG's, the OPs, AY, WP and i like to think AMA. They all serve a purpose and all offer something different to the board. Their success breeds envy and jealousy to some. Fucking suckers. Its competitive. Dont get me wrong but it can be done in a healthy way and one that doesnt hurt the board and the membership. Im not going to say its all rosey and we all get along 100% of the time. Ive had it out with a few of those guys and im sure some dont like me. But i will tell you with 100% honesty i respect the people i mentioned and i dont have any doubts they do their best to provide the best products and customer service that available to them. To insinuate that anyone is trying to fuck anyone over here and especially that it is being sanctioned or ok'd be the people who run this site or covered up by the mods is just plain fucking idiotic.... Ok im done with that part of my soap box
As far as this new test kit goes. Blahhh. Its a pretty crude test and no one really knows much about and no one has proven that they used it with the sources they are claiming they used it on and if so if it was done correctly. Some of us our lucky enough to have access to mass specs and there are trusted folks on here that also do this 3rd party. Thats the way to go. Any tool that will help the members is a good thing but I agree with Heavy it needs to be in a controlled environment. Once this gets figured on how to do this throw our name in the hat. Aint nothing to hide here. We know what the mass specs readSo smell our balls to get to know us but you better smell em right or you might get bit. A suggestion would be whatever sponsors agree to this testing reimburse the tester. Have whoever is testing (someone hopefully set up by Heavy or someone of that kind of trust) order like a normal customer test the results and then say, hey we are going to or we did test your XXXX product and they be reimbursed. Just a thought. Anyways Hope you all had a good Christmas and hopefully in the New Year we can all do out part to get this board back on track.
See bold above: It's a shame, really, but very true.
