AS and HLsupply

[Mastermind]

My friend Dale always tells me....

"Remember where you are at all times son".

I ain't takin that one, cuz it wouldn't take much to go over there and ruffle a few feathers and get it deleted. And that doesn't help out the positive advertising for HL

Exactly. Although it did cross my mind.

 

[exSW]

It didn't cross my mind to help matters. Just the way things have been done there.

BTW my HL supply order from last week was delivered in three working days and everything was right. Can't ask for much more than that.

I think we have a good thing going here. Bruce has supplied a clean slate for us to build into something really special. Let's all be careful to take good care of this.

So can I go be bad over on AS? I have been banned for life at a certain Colo. ski resort.

Wow!

Do they know "OPE" is a very common term?

 

[Jughead]

Lol thats *f-worded up

Does anyone think that it may be best to not get EVERYONE from AS over here? I mean, there's a reason for the exodus. Over-advertising on AS just to get under their skin may bring the same thing that everyone is escaping from. Just a thought. Better to invite than overtly advertise. We'll get a better, more productive crowd that way.

Hey, I just wanted to shoot you a PM. I understand there is a lot of frustration about AS but coming on here and saying HL Supply is the place to be and saying google is your friend is clearly steering people to "Fart Knockers" Thats why I removed you from the thread.

pm from marshy

Well it worked for me

Well said, I followed the knowledgable people that are always willing to help . It's a pretty easy place to find if you're truly interested in learning how to build a saw. I say privately invite people and the truly interested will find OPE anyhow.

the carrot is becoming the most informative, inclusive, helpful source of info for hobbyists, newbies and pros with a jovial overall tone
the stick is uninviting those who don't wish to be a part of the carrot

So.....to simplify.

Eat of the carrot.....or get the stick.

 

[Definitive Dave]

did he just call me simple?

OPEforum.com: respect the carrot!! I like it

It's not very difficult to avoid the drama here, there, or anywhere.

But some folks like drama...

Well boys I wanna add my 2 cents in. Lol.
The thread most of you are talking about on AS is my thread. It's not often I loose my cool as I did there. I have appoligized and hope I can keep it from happing again as the wrecking of that thread was my fault! So I ask as we watch this site grow that members (me) will take offense to what is said once in awhile. Let's just remind each other when this happens to take a deep breath and remember what the threads are about. The learning and sharing of info. As not everyone's opinions will be the same. Now let's enjoy this site and I for one look super forward to sharing what I've learn and learning from those who now different ways and opinions!
Thanks guys!
