yoyoyo Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I was thinking the same, but some people take advertising seriously here.But i thought it was ok cause it was in the news section and it was news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 An accurate guess would be one of the other bike makes. Begins with T, ends in N. What some people don't understand, is that his post wasn't advertisement, if you plaster it with branding, prices, suppliers, sponsors, then its advertising.

fruitbat Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) definatly agreed Dave, glad someone had the balls to put this topic up as that is bang right out of order closing someones topic when it wasnt in violation of any rules and simply cos some sulking sod didnt like t. See the wimps only reported it and didnt state in the topic itself that they didnt like the post, all the replies were good from what i can seeMight as well start closing every topic on this forum now as not everyone agrees with everything that is said. if someone has a problem with a post then dont f**king read it, simple as that the sulking n00bs! Would love to know who it wasFrooty Edited March 24, 2006 by fruitbat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobnobs Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) If you paid for advertising, you wouldnt be happy. I didnt report it, but to be honest i'm not really suprised that others did. Afterall, it was blatant advertising.

Tomm Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I have to say I didn't really understand why it had been closed. But then again I don't really understand or care about decisions like that, it's for the mods/admin to decide.Partz, your list isn't very comprehensive. Where am I?

Afterall, it was blatant advertising. i wouldnt call it blatent in your face advertising, The people who pay for it have it in bright flashy attractive writing on the top of the site where everyone can see it. IOLO was just showing his new site and a new frame, Yeah it was mild advertising but i cant really see it affecting the likes of Select and TartybikesSee how long it is before this topic is closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 + Planeton?flytonplaneweightflyheavy did notice one of the advertisments with a ribo shoe on it ^^^ i remebered the name then when i clicked reply forgot was trials.....???anyway i think it was silly - the original post wasnt advertising maybe the 2nd reply was closer but just stated what the good was in the end! if we cant "reveiw" goods what can we do. But i guess someone thought it had crossed the line from showing to advertising. but how else was the company going to ever get off the floor???

Whats the big problem with us? I've actually given up posting stuff about new frames and parts on this forum. IOLO's post looked pretty much the same as the first of my posts about our frames. I think there should be one rule for everyone. I reported it , I don't think i was the only one though.Meh , Good luck to IOLO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
