I think some very good points have been made here, as a non-contributer myself it has made me appriciate all the work being done be the producers, I think a little brain power and/or research is a small price to pay for high quality and above all FREE wetlook vids. Simply demanding that we have access to all this stuff is just plain cheeky.

So now we're getting no more Streams from MK, I, for one, am gutted. For those of us with nothing to trade except stuff that's been seen a thousand times before, but want to support the producers and the community, well we've shot ourselves in the foot. Happy now?

Try and cast your minds back to before you found this forum. Remember what it was like? We should be grateful for every link, every f**king post.

Sorry to hear that, Nigel missed an opportunity

Sorry you had to bow to the whingers, who found unlikely support in Nigel.

Nigel really missed an opportunity to remind people about the negative posts rules and ban those who continue to whinge.

I'm sorry that in this case at least, the whingers who give nothing had ruled over those who do the work and give something for nothing.

Like Kev, my posts get viewed a lot (I know from the stats on the images that are linked to) but get almost no response.

IS this forum a place only for the gimme now brigade?

As has been said the main "whiners" are those who contribute virtually nothing to the community. Leon is also spot on with his comments, why should we let a few moaners (who we wouldn't miss if they never made another appearance) dictate to the people who are actually doing the "hard miles" in this community?

Nigel? How you run your forum is your business, but in jumping on the "giver" and supporting the whinging "takers" it seems that you have offended other wetlook producers.

Perhaps you should re-think your position.

puzzles will end

FYI, Nigel raises some very valid points that I had not considered before....i.e. that my postings were causing long threads that were eating up space in the forum. I might add...that if posting messages that cause long threads is a crime...then not only should puzzles be banned, but also "polls" too...i.e. folks who post messages asking people to vote for the next photoset they want to see are equally as guilty of creating long threads too.

The point is valid though...long threads without meaningful content are a waste of space and bandwidth to the forum...so I agree with what Nigel says.....i.e. space and bandwidth on the forum should be more productively used and tactics designed to get feedback (i.e. polling or puzzles or any attempts to get a lot of people to respond to your thread) are not a good idea for this forum.

Therefore, puzzles must now end...and I will consider a new strategy in order to manage my bandwidth...cos my bandwidth costs are high and have to be managed too. I cannot afford to post streaming videos for free for the entire community without turning my site into a members only paysite..and I do not wish to do that. I am not going to create a pay site for video streams. I will develop a new stategy to show video streams for wamtec supporters, contacts, members, traders et al...so if future I will not post info about video streams here...cos I don't want all the negative feedback these seem to have created (it amazes me how something I considered to be a maganimous gesture....i.e. free video streams...has caused so much hate mail). The people doing all the whining are not wamtec fans anyay...so there is nothing I can do to appease them. In future I will not post info on video streams here...I will keep it off this forum and post the info on my website only...and anybody who is a wamtec customer or supporter can email me and I will give them the link privately via email.

Sorry for all this trouble this has caused. This was not my intent. My intent was to inject a little fun into this forum....but as my old dad used to say...when you are not having fun...it's time to get out of Dodge.
