Deceptive marketing alert

It is probably just my naivete and newness to this business, but if we all think Wicked are so wicked (and I am not  disagreeing), then why does our fearless and esteemed moderator (and I am not being facetious) have an ad for Wicked in his signature???

Good question ! It is because I have absolutely nothing against getting free stuff from them - I also join their contests - does that make me bad ? I am raffling off the only laser I ever bought from them if that makes you feel better ? LOL I bought that with Wicked Bucks, too ! I also heartily recommend their goggles, I have done a group buy on their Dragon cases....Hmmmm now why WOULD I have a link for referral points ? Not slamming you - and you most certainly have not raised my ire - just answering your questions

Fair enough Senkat. I never mind getting something for nothing and I would not mind their goggles or cases either and would certainly want to be a part of any of their 'giveaways' just so long as it did not compromise my capacity to be 'objective' - as it CLEARLY has not in the case of your good self and LPF. Indeed, the fact we are even discussing this here goes a long way to establish the 'objectivity' of LPF.

Am I right in assuming that LPF is now in front of CPF when it comes to lasers and feedback and that LPF has picked up in terms of participants recently?

Well, since I can fist hand weed out the psychos on here (LOL !!) I have not been back to CPF in a while....There were too many loose cannons on there, with biased moderation....only SOME folks were told to stop, others had free reign, so - kinda like with LC - I didnt like, so I packed my toys and left I enjoy the comaradarie (spelling ??) on here - I know most of the folks here, enjoy reading what they have to say, and trying to help out - I think when I was forum hopping as much as I was, I kinda lost track of different folks - so I concentrate here. Since LC started with their insane rules, lotsa folks from there have come over to visit - some have even stayed - which is nice ! At any rate - I dont like or dislike Wicked in any way - I will NEVER pay their prices for hyped up crap that doesnt work, I will tell you that ! Now, if they choose to give it to me for free, I am all for it ! I think they have made a total of $60.00 off of me - and those were shipping charges for three seperate orders - over $400 in Wicked bucks later, I got some neat shit from them Including two Sonar cases that will be filled with blu-ray diodes soon, and will work a HELL of a lot better than their $2000 Sonar ! LOL
