Have a rant at FF. Or anywhere else, for that matter.

This reminds me very much of a Home Theatre forum I used to frequent. They became very heavy-handed and repressive, and several people decided to start their own forums. The malcontents converged on one particular spin-off forum, and that forum is still doing quite well, 5 years later. Go for it, Steve!

To bad about this Steve.....Until I got Astral's news letter I had know idea what was going on over there......We'll have you back up and over 10 V's in another heartbeat or two....."ff" is a sad state of affairs......

Stay at it, this forum will be here long after "ff" is dust

Hoping to go negative in the vouch column at FF...At -4, I will bestow a neg. vouch on FF,,,Best Wishes, Pippo

Hehe. Wonderful stuff guys.

Look at it another way. Were it not for TIT we would not be here. Strange, but having escaped him, it is only now that I understand what a 'dead hand' TIT represents at FF. Not all of FF are my friends and he is all too ready to react to the complaints of the pathetically stupid; I rarely enjoyed his emails to me. He tended to be stupid enough to deal with easily, but this took time and effort.

TIT did us a favour. Doesn't stop him being a mindless cretin with the charisma of projectile vomit, but he did us all a favour. Without his pre-infantile behaviour, Erwin would not have been prompted to set this up here.

Nice one, TIT.

Steve,

Thank you for this offer:

Following TIT's hissy fit, he removed all my FF vouches. When an FF victim has vouches removed, these are also removed from the traders he/she has vouched for.

Some of you have been kind enough to rebuild enough of my FF voucher history that I can again bestow these upon fellow FF victims. Trouble is, I have forgotten whom most of you are.

So, those of you who have lost the vouch I originally made for you, please pm me here with a nudge and I will restore it. Don't forget to include your FF user name or there is nothing I can do.

Cheers all. We have a lovely forum going here.

But I would rather be with this crowd:

Sorry, I forgot to add to my last. Those of you who have no idea what FF is, ignore both of these pm's. They are of no importance whatsoever, and even less so if you do not know what FF is, or whom TIT is.

One day in September this year I was on Google, and followed a link to (one of) your moving average threads at FF. I joined. I am trading for many, many years, and was aware of FF for quite afew of those.

Never cared to join.

Nor care now.

Khalid

I know how you feel, but have replaced your vouch anyhow. You never know when it might come in handy.

Gentlemenesses and Gentlemen, we all know how clever Khalid (khalaad) is. I would deem it a personal favour if you could add to his voucher list at FF so that readers know they can take him seriously should he feel the urge to contribute there.

Wow...I have sort of caught up with the happenings of late and why Steve has his own forum. Sad management by FF. Too many good traders have left because of the authoritarian attitude that FF have taken up. I also suspect that Twee never acts alone. Having gotten to know him in the early days when he first moderated he seems a different personality now......and of course I too have had a personal kerfuffle with him over the female traders thread a few years back when they unceremoniously put us in the LOUNGE....how rude!!!!!!
So....Good on you Steve and Erwin et als who have come over here and started this forum which I am sure will be a much better place for traders to hang out at and one that I think will grow because of the people behind it!

All the best!

The problems you describe probably happened because you live in upside-down land, so the blood rushes to your head and helps you think more quickly than us thickies in right-way-up land. TIT could not keep up with you

As you say, there are some fantastic people here. Indeed, it is a lovely place to hang around. TIT did us a huge favour.

[Antra]

Upside down land !!!!!!! LOL

So I just had a jolly ole good time catching up on the last month of "drama". Twee and other admins of FF can only blame themselves if FF goes down the shitter.

Steve just took most of the smart brains of FF with him. And not to be an ass-kiss but the logic of 100 bucks per EA was well justified if the EA was not going to be shared and he had put the work in. Hell, 100 bucks for an EA is DIRT CHEAP. In my more noobier days when just starting Forex I paid a programmer 2 bucks PER LINE of code that ended up costing me somewhere around $600.

Hehe. Given the way my code wanders around like an inner-city ring road, I would bankrupt people if I charged 2 bucks per line.

Thanks for your kind words.
